Telephoneman Log

Learned how to use Vokoscreen to record myself through the webcam on my laptop which was running the OSE live-USB. Recorded the video interview questions and uploaded them to youtube. Video_resume-OSE for Jesse MacDonald(Telephoneman)

This took about an hour and a half to get to work as I had to calibrate it to proper settings to get it to record the sound in sync with the video.

In the end I used Window style recording and clicked on the webcam window to record just my image while reading the questions. I left the frame rate at 25, changed the videocodec to mpeg4, avi and the audio format I left at libmp3lame.

Sent off an email to ops at ops@opensourceecology.org to let them know I've completed the steps in the list.

Created live-usb and installed OSE Ubuntu OS to my desktop computer. Used the live CD on my laptop to record the desktop video due to microphone requirements. I'm having a hard time getting the sound to work with clarity on my laptop microphone for the video interview so ill give it a try tomorrow or start looking for old external microphones around the city. Recorded developer test video. Learned to edit video down to appropriate size and uploaded to youtube. OSE_DEV_TEST

Freecad is a lot to learn but now that I can use it a bit more reliably, its not crashing anymore and I am learning ways to speed up my workflow. One of the most useful tricks was the (ctrl) selection of files to mass rotate a bunch of copies. This saved a lot of time and will be a useful technique in the future. Hot-keys and always save!
