Adding Text To Videos On Shotcut

After more than a month away from video editing on Shotcut, I forget how to add text for my lyric video. Referred to YouTube and found some new content to remind me.

Add video track. Add/Open Other, select transparent colour. So that becomes the canvas for the text to be placed on. Use the simple text filter to add text.

Might try the rich text filter another day.

ShotCut is not as user friendly as Kapwing and it takes some time to learn how to use it because it's not as intuitive. Still, it has many advantages including better reliability, privacy and control over the videos produced.

Happy to schedule one song to be published at the regular time in the morning at 7am. That way, when I wake up in the morning I can send out a "Good morning!" broadcast via WhatsApp/Telegram with the YouTube link.

Side note: glad to be supposedly certified Google Educator Level 1 just yesterday. The exam turned out to be shorter and simpler than expected.

Sony Alpha Basic Photography Workshop

Learned quite a bit on photography at the recent Sony Alpha Basic Photography Workshop held on 12th September 2009 at The Grand Continental Hotel, Jalan Raja Laut. Traffic going into the city was pretty bad, with the Hari Raya holidays just next weekend, many were in town shopping and clogging up the roads. Our trainer, John Shum, talked about all sort of photography tips and tools. It was interesting to know more about how to use the Shutter speed, Aperture settings, Manual mode, ISO, flash, exposure and so on. The attendance was at about 35 and there were 2 young lady models also present for practice shooting. In addition, invited guest Ms. Denise Chan, who has been into photography for 2 years and shoots every weekend, shared her work with the participants. I guess this is one of the advantages of being a Sony Alpha dSLR user. There will be another workshop on using Flash planned for 18th October 2009. The next lens I might look to get is the recommended SAL75300 which retails at RM...

Turned 50!

So I have arrived at a milestone and the feeling is surreal. I have much to be thankful for, looking back. I'd like to enjoy more of the present while looking forward to things that are ahead. It's hard to accept that I am "old" when I feel young, both physically and in my heart. I pray that I would be wise and live accordingly.  May I find favour in God's eyes.

Noddy Idea For A Birthday Party Theme

The pleasure of seeing a little child at his 1st birthday party. Most of the time he/she would be too young to understand the fuss of a birthday, and that is why a well-themed birthday party and lots of pictures will allow one to appreciate the occasion at an older age. I recently attended a Noddy cartoon character themed birthday party. The e-invitations had Noddy featuring prominently. At the venue, the backdrop made up of the words "Happy Birthday William" was also printed with Noddy-themed letters. And of course, the cake was a Noddy cake and a pretty one at that. A nice Noddy cake and the likes can be found at choffles.com Thanks for the invite, MG!
