Glive – creating bkgd tracks

John — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 17:12:25 +0000

During Glive we often need karaoke versions of songs or find a way to eliminate vocals in a song to create a background track of our own. Here’s a link to Audacity’s wiki that gives a few pointers. Not all songs are created equal and you’ll notice that you can’t do this for every song out there.

Shooting Video on the Canon 7D

iheung — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 20:07:38 +0000

Recently, our church purchased a sweet Canon EOS 7D for the express purpose of shooting video. It’s an awesome camera, but most of us didn’t know how to use it. After spending a few months with this camera, I decided to record this tutorial on using the 7D to shoot video. Though having photography fundamentals is really useful, the tutorial just assumes you’ve shot on a consumer DV camera in the past and introduces the basics and not-so basics of the 7D — all from the perspective of shooting video.

Now, this video is really, really rough. I threw my own personal 7D on a tripod and hit record. My son was just born when I made this recording so I know I look like a zombie in this footage. Focus on the camera, not me

Watch It: Playing DVDs

iheung — Thu, 27 May 2010 18:04:41 +0000

There has been an issue with Propresenter freezing when we insert a DVD into the mac. This is because both Propresenter and DVD Player are competing to open the DVD. By default, DVD Player opens whenever you insert a DVD. The solution is to uncheck that setting in the DVD Player Preferences.
