What kind of software is used to make fan videos such as those seen on Youtube?

I want to try my hand at making fan videos (not sure of the correct term) and would like to know what kind of computer software is used to make them.

What kind of software is used to make fan videos such as those seen on Youtube?
Windows built in Movie Maker is perfect for beginner's. Once you get the hang of it move on to a Third-Party Application because Movie Makers graphics become quite repetitive. Unless you download the extras for it.

If you have Windows Vista you can stick with it as long as you get some of the fan-made extras!

Is there any insurance loss estimating software homeowners can buy to calculate losses for claims?

In order to negotiate with the insurance company, it would be useful to have a software package that would help itemize, price, calculate, and estimate, not only the value of contents but also the cost per square foot of restored construction, the labor cost of tearout of damaged property, debiris disposal costs, etc. Insurance companies have such software packages. It would be great if the insured could also use one.

Is there any insurance loss estimating software homeowners can buy to calculate losses for claims?
There are two main software packages that insurance companies use. It would be cost prohibitive for a homeowner to purchase it. However, most contractors that do insurance repair work have the same programs. The easiest thing for a homeowner to do is have their contractor put together an estimate for the repairs. If there is a price difference from the adjusters estimate - then the contractor and adjuster will work it out - or you can just send the contractor estimate to the adjuster to review.

Reply:Whoa, that depends on the shadows. If they are opaque (totally black shadow) or nearly opaque, then no photo editing software can do anything about it. If facial features are still visible, you might try Photoshop, with a lot of hardwork.





The good news is, there is somebody who offers to do simple editing of your photos for free! Really, I'm not kidding. Check it out here:

How much do software engineers make for Apple and what is a good college for this profession?
They're probably paid fairly well, given Apple's location in Cupertino (the Bay area is one of the most expensive regions in the U.S. and demands high salaries). It's good to have goals for one particular company, but remember there are many top-notch companies that specialize in Mac software.

What type of software do I need to run a distribution business?

I am setting up a distribution business where I buy a range of hair products from a supplier overseas and then store them in a warehouse.


I will employ sales reps to visit hair salons and take orders for my hair products.


I need a computer software that can:


1. Keep track of my own orders with my suppliers, did they arrive etc.


2. Keep track of my warehouse inventory.


3. Keep track of my sales reps details.


4. Keep track of each sales reps orders grouped by hair salon name in his area.


5. Print off invoices to mail out to the salons, and keep track of whether or not they have been paid.





I have no idea what this type of software is called and am having a hard time finding something suitable.


Does anybody have any suggestions of names of software or search terms I can type into Yahoo to get a list of softwares with reviews? When I type inventory management, I can't seem to find one that tracks the sales reps.





Surely there is something out there already?

They are small sized programs unlike Photoshop. just in case you dont want to download a large program. But I highly suggest photoshop.

I need crystal clear and deep color photos for marketing purposes. This is the one. A friend of mine gave me his copy to download. Google this product to find out more. Don't forget there are very few things that are free. All those free downloads always have strings attached. You either get spammed to death or there is some type of browser hi-jacking or some crap attached. All that will slow your computer down.

What is a good book or internet guide on how different computers and software actually work?

Hi there, I am looking for a good, clear, plain English book or internet guide that explains how computer and software have developed over time and how they actually work. For example, in a typical transaction processing system for customer orders, what is the hardware and how is the software structured into programs and data files? When looking at such a system, how can you tell what it is and how it works - ie Mainframe or Client Server and such like? For example, if you wanted to extract transaction data how would you find the data file?


So I am looking for something that is going to give me at least a starting point on these questions.





Many thanks!

How do I get my itunes playlists on my zune software?

I am looking for a way to transfer my itunes playlists right to my zune software. Is there any way to do so without outside porgrams?

How do I get my itunes playlists on my zune software?
You do not need the converter the other poster recommended. Tell your Zune program to monitor the folder that the music is in. If that does not work then do this in iTunes. It works for music you bought from iTunes so it might work with drm files you have in the iTunes library.





Add all of the music you want to transfer to your Zune to a play list. Go to Edit%26gt;Preferences%26gt;Burning. Once at Burning make sure the dial in front of Audio CD is selected. Click ok.





Burn the play list. From this cd you will rip the music into Zune. If these were song you bought, Zune will probably sort them by album for you. The free stuff it will sometimes sort into albums. I would be prepared to do some sorting myself if I were you. If you have a lot to transfer, I would to it in manageable groups.

What is good software for live music perfomances?
It wont depend completely on the softwear, but also how you mic it and mix it. The Pro Tools softwear is excelent for editing music and is what many professionals use. It is also very expensive (thousands of dollars). Cakewalk is a less expensive softwear that you could also use(probably around 100 dollars). You are going to get the best live recording if you mic instruments individually and use a mixer that is usb. That way you can record each instrument to a seperate track in the computer and you can tweak them individually.

Is there a software program to organize addresses?

Can a keylogger software run on a windows machine without showing up in the task manager? How?
How to detect a Keylogger





* Check the task list by press ctrl+alt+del in windows. Examine all the tasks running, if you unsure of a task look it up on a search engine.


* Use the system configuration utility to determine which task are loaded at start-up (type "msconfig" in the run box to start).


* Run your antivirus checker, it's possible this will pick up the Keylogger on your system.


* Scan your hard disk for the most recent files stored. Look at the contents of any files continually updating (these might be logs).


* Download a specific keylogger detector program, and see if it detects anything.


* Run Spybot S%26amp;D, this program checks for some known keyloggers.
Reply:Hi.


Look here:

Reply:Yes, it could run without showing up in task manager. Or, many keystroke loggers change their name every hour or so, and always use innocent-sounding names, so even if it's in the task manager you won't recognise it as a keylogger.

What family tree software do you prefer and why?
PAF (Personal ancestral file) is the free program from the LDS church, and is completely compatible with standards. If you pick up one of the "off brands", they don't always work well.


PAF has been out there for over 20 yrs, and isn't "bare bones".
Reply:I have tried several but always return to PAF 5 obtainable at


http://www.familysearch.com


It is just so easy to use. I have 7000 individuals with notes etc., in my main file, totalling 4.01 MB You can also have multiple files if you wish. I have 8 totalling 8.70 MB Printing out complete lists of several different types is never a problem, limited only by ink and paper requirements.


And of course importing and exporting Gedcom files is a doddle.
Reply:I prefer using word processing. All of those cute programs eat up several MB of HD each; by the time you enter a family tree, it would be several GB each (if you have any where close to what I have; many have far more than I).


In a word processing document (several of them; after it reaches 300 pages, I begin a new one) it is only about 8 MB of data.


Unless you have a main frame, if you tried to print it out it would likely crash your computer.


Of course, if you won't be able to find many ancestors, or give up, a program might work.


But there are other problems, such as the programs want each generation to have the same surnames; most of the ancestors I have found had not surnames at all; in one case, the Dad had one surname, each of the two sons that became my ancestors had a different surname.


Those programs don't like that at all. Nor do they like that one person is a double or triple or more (that is, they had common ancestors 1 or 2 generations back).


Word documents are more searchable than the programs also.
Reply:I have used Family Tree maker for the past 16 years and was always happy with it until the last update (FTM2008). I tried it , thought it was garbage, sent it back and went back to FTM 2006. I have over 8000 names in my data base and do not have any problems with different surnames or common ancestors. Most programs I have seen have ways to do this. I also have 500-600 photos in my program of people , tombstones, etc. I use the same FTM version on both my desktop and laptop.
Reply:Try Legacy Family Tree. They have a FREE edition that is quite good. If you like it, you can always upgrade to the paid edition down the road.

How do I know if spy software is installed on my computer?
Oh, you are talking about keyloggers... If you have such applications on your computer, you risk to give someone all your personal information. You have to use anti-spyware programs. You can get not only keyloggers but other spyware too (trojans, worms and etc.). I found were you can scan your computer online for keyloggers. Try this http://www.spywareremove.com/remove-Keyl... here you'll get more information about keyloggers.
Reply:Try doing a scan with Ad-Aware SE Personal. Make sure it is up-to-date though.
Reply:Out of all the antivirus programs listed or mentioned before- they do not all detect some of the more potentially dangerous spyware/viruses/trojans. As time progresses, these intruders and their makers update and change to bypass most scanners.





BitDefender (in my opinion) tops all. PandaScan has an online deep system scan that you can take to see what may possible be lurking deeper in your main Windows files, like registry/backdoor trojans. Spy Sweeper from Webroot is also quite good. Norton, on the other hand, is one of the most easily passable antivirus programs now, since it is very mainstream in new computers now.





So take your pick, google away and see what you will need to protect your computer. Also, try Stinger from McAfee- it detects a large library of popular trojans.
Reply:You have to get a program that protects you computer. Then you do a full computer scan. It's easy. it may take an hour or two. Norton will scan for anything like worms, spyware, viruses, etc. and it will let you know if it finds anything and it will destroy it. Also, if you're surfing the net and a virus tries to get into your computer it will block it or contain it so you could destroy it. I hear Norton is the best that's why I have it. I paid $50 for a year of protection.
Reply:well for one way it install ..you see a icon for a prog for spyware on your desktop or you can used the windows programs and look for it if it not there u can used google and type free spyware and install it on your comp same for antivirus there is many to choose good luck..
Reply:If you have a "PC" running Windows, click "Start" and then "Control Panel", then "Add or Remove Programs". This will give you a list of the installed programs. I have seen programs installed that are "Ad Ware" and you can remove them - but make sure you don't remove something that should be there. There are also programs that you can buy that will automatically do this.
Reply:thats called a keylogger. spybot 1.4 will detect and block that kind of crap...and its free...make sure u run its updates every couple days...heres the link: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Spy...

Go here, Install Spybot Search and destroy, download the updates, run the scan, click fix the problem, then run the Immunization. Easy. Check for updated definitions once a week or so.


It's free but they accept donations, which I recommend if you can spare it.





Take care,

The Internet has opened up many freelance opportunities, expanding markets and helping to build it into one of the largest economic segments for many economies. You dont need to pay to get the job. Development for freelancing has been especially high for software development, website design, information technology, and business documentation. Freelance practice varies greatly. Some require clients to sign written contracts%26lt;!--while others may perform work based on verbal agreements, perhaps enforceable through the very nature of the work. Some freelancers may provide written estimates of work and request deposits from clients. Get more information on the website. You can almost find any freelance job you want.

Payment for freelance work also varies greatly. Freelancers may charge by the day or hour, or on a per-project basis. Instead of a flat rate or fee, some consultants have adopted a value-based pricing method--%26gt;based on the perceived value of the results to the client. By custom, payment arrangements may be upfront, percentage upfront, or upon completion. For more complex projects, a contract may set a payment schedule based on milestones or outcomes.

Is there a software that a Vietnamese teenager can use at home to learn English?

She is already going to an American public school, reading books, watching DVD movies with subtitles and a dictionary, and practicing with me whenever I have the time. I've heard of programs like Rosetta Stone or Pimsleur, but they are for native English speakers to learn other languages. Is there anything similar that non-English speakers can use to learn English? Either in CD format or computer software that can help her further learn English to supplement what's she's already doing. - Thanks

Is there a software that a Vietnamese teenager can use at home to learn English?
There are lots of software for all foreigners to learn English on their computer. If you want to be able to translate from Vietnamese, check out the links below.
Reply:Hello,


Rosetta Stone has a special edition that is called 'homeschool'. It is mostly for children and it is very good.


You could also try Tell me More.


These methods are advertised to be suitable for people who doesn't understand the language at all.


Personaly, I wouldn't prefere Primsleur for the fact that it it only CD;s you only hear and it hasn't an organised plan with exercises like Rosetta or Tell me More.


There is also an on'line programme for kids (and teens) with an annual fee, that is called Mingoville.It is translating in many languages.


Good luck!


What are the responsibilities of a "transition coordinator" in a software company?

I've been called for an interview for the position of "transaction coordinator".. i have never heard of this designation before... so could you please help me understanding the role better?





and also i would like to grow into the management side after 3+ years as a software developer or a business analyst.. would this role give enough scope for this%26gt;%26gt;





Your direction will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What are the responsibilities of a "transition coordinator" in a software company?
You duties will be what they tell you they will be. I think it will be your job to make sure everything goes smoothly. Be sure to ask this and about your salary at the interview.


I don't see how you can be management as a software developer and for sure not as a business analyst. It sounds like you are on a better track for management with the job you are interviewing for.

What is a fairly inexpensive but good graphic design software to use?

I'm starting my own website and need to create a logo and design some images and I need a good software program that isn't too costly.


Thanks so much!

What is a fairly inexpensive but good graphic design software to use?
For Photoshop-type raster/pixel image work, Gimp at www.gimp.org


For Illustrator-type vector graphics, Inkscape. www.inkscape.org





Both of these are free OpenSource software.





There are also various smaller aps that use clip art to help you make logos, do a search for that sort of software. They tend to be rather limited.
Reply:well, paint is probably the cheapest......but what I have found to be the most effective, is to get a trial version of photoshop CS3, and get a reliable source to get a patch or a keygen from. The same goes with Flash, and Illustrator (I found Illustrator to be a great special effects program to couple with Photoshop.
Reply:Macromedia Fireworks. It works great. It might be a little confusing tho, so there are online tutorials if you get confused. And its pretty cheap.


Can a software Requirements Specification be drafted in 24 hours?

A question for software engineers. Can you draft an SRS for an existing commercial product within 24 hours? That is, can one be created that would withstand scrutiny against ISO 13485?





Serious answers only please.

Can a software Requirements Specification be drafted in 24 hours?
No. Do it right or the FDA will fine you, put you on probation, and shut you down if you don't comply.





ROTFL!





Medical products are serious business. You're talking about human life here.





If you don't like the regulatory work and documentation, go into another field. Explain to your boss that the reason medical products cost a lot is that they require a lot of time and resources to develop.





Oh, BTW, you can't test a product in 24 hours either.
Reply:If you are starting from ground zero, not a prayer. These, even for "simple" products can take upwards of a month - many months for more complicated products.





It is possible that there exists an exceptionally compatible SRS for a very, very closely related product and using that as a starting point, it would be conceivable...not likely, but conceivable it could be done.





But think about it. If you were handed a written SRS, it would probably take you 24 hours just to type it in.
Reply:A lot of that depends on the complexity of the product and how much real content you'd need. Maybe if you could make a lot of references to other, existing, specs. But I kinda doubt it. And, if you did, it would be nothing short of a 3-ring circus doing a ton of cut 'n paste and it's an absolute certainty that it would be full of errors.





Some bright lad in upper management come up with this?

What free software will allow me to use Color Accent for PC?

I have the Canon Powershot SX100 IS and the Canon website says that it has Color Accent, but it doesn't. I emailed them and they said the site is wrong. I want to be able to take a picture I have and just accent the one color. Is there a free software that will do this?

What free software will allow me to use Color Accent for PC?
A easy way to do this, if you don't know how to use photoshop is to use www.picnik.com , you just upload your image , then go to edit , and after that you go to create, and then you make the image black and white, and then you use the paint brush to select the areas you want in color.

What is a good video software to join 2 video files?

i have tried several video software but with no success. i tried those free ones but after joining the 2 video files i can't convert them to another format. i tried using adobe premiere elements 4.0 but it changes the resolution of my original video file. can someone recommend me a good software that will join 2 video files that will not change the resolution of my source and then i can convert it to iPod format.

What is a good video software to join 2 video files?
Virtualdub is a good program for joining video files.


http://www.virtualdub.org/download.html


It is also often recommended so you may have tried it.





A thing about joining video files.


1. they must be identical in their production ie.


Same frame rate


Same codec


Same bitrate/data rate/sample size


Some of the 'dumbed down' joining software will join anything regardless.





This can lead to problems, especially if you need to further process the file.

What Is The Best DivX Software To Buy To Edit Videos?

How do I sell my software to resellers or corporations?

I am developing software with a friend of mine. I was wondering how do we take our finished software, and get it into the stores like Wal-Mart, Best Buy, and Circuit City?





Thanks!

How do I sell my software to resellers or corporations?
Depends what the software does. Sometimes it is better to license it to companies that will actually need to use it - that is how you make money when the product takes off.


The other solution would be to make it available for trial download online. That way if people really do want it, they will pay for it.
Reply:There's a way to go through something to Sell it. Some say sell it on the net, or sell it to Companys. There's one problem with that. Someone can always take it %26amp; say it's theres %26amp; easily change it, so what I say before you do is get something. I actually have to look up the Info %26amp; I'll post it to you, but if you go selling it without you like doing something. I can't explain what I am trying to say. If I can find the Info I'll give it to you though!
Reply:Give it to me. (hope it's for porn :) )
Reply:I'd say ... sell it through the internet.


Create a website to promote it with all the info about it on there.


Put the bare minimum you'd like others to pay (one off) to use it ... and have an option for people to donate if they feel the software is worthy.


Mind you, you'll need to get rights to it so someone doesn't take the software from you.





Then when you've gained a fair amount of customers, then you can start promoting it to other bigger companies etc ... etc.





Otherwise .... I wouldn't have a clue.





Hope it works out for you.

Is software that has not been registered with the US Copyright Office protected by copyright laws?

I have been reading a lot of documents but I'm not sure if I'm getting it right. Software is registered under literary works in US law. It also said there that any literary work is protected by copyright upon its creation. I just want to know if let's say someone releases software for profit that has not been registered for copyright with the US Copyright office, is his work protected by copyright law?





If not, is the license agreement provided with the software enough to protect his work from others copying it?

Is software that has not been registered with the US Copyright Office protected by copyright laws?
All creative work, including software, is copyrighted from the moment it is created. No registration, notice, or license is necessary.

Best way to reduce colors in Photoshop or another software?

Hello,





I need to reduce colors from photos to like 40-60 for a project. It is very important though that the quality of the picture stays as good as possible.





Are there more effective ways to do this beside choosing Indexed Colors in Photoshop?





Using some Blur or other filters before reducing colors?





Is there any other software which is better fit for this job?





Any tricks are very appreciated!

Best way to reduce colors in Photoshop or another software?
Hi. I read some books and do not remember there is another way. But when saving as GIF files, remeber to check "Preserve Exact Colors".


You can also go to File%26gt;Save for Web%26gt; then select in flyout menu on right (small triangle) - Select All Web Safe Colors, and eventually choose colors. If there are noise problems, try checking Diffusion, instead of No Dither on the left side, above the color palette.


When You select 32 colors in po-up at right, eventually add also Restrictive (Web) instead of Perceptual 1 pop-up window above previous.


All I talk here is about CS2 - I did not have earlier versions.


I cannot help You more. Sorry


Ciao
Reply:lower the saturation.


go to image----adjustments----hue/saturation
Reply:In Photoshop I go to "Hue/Saturation" under image-adjustments and lower the saturation level. Hope that helps.
Reply:If you want to reduce the overall color in an image in Photoshop, find the saturation slider. I can't remember what menu it is under.


Search saturation in Help. First make a copy of your image, so you always have the original to go back to if you want.
Reply:I use image adjust contrast to brightness, level, color balance, even selective color





But most of the time I use color balance so can adjust the midtones, shadow and highlights, then maybe a little of contrast/brightness
Reply:1. Open image in Photoshop


2. Press CNT+U and change color depth, save it


3. Than press CNT+L and improve brightness (best options is to click on AUTO)


..........you are done !! Goodluck
Reply:instead of going to image %26gt; adjustments %26gt; hue/saturation,


you can still achieve the same effect by going to Layer %26gt; New Adjustment Layer %26gt; Hue/Saturation (and then press ok to the popup menu).


by creating a new adjustment layer, your original image is untouched. it creates a new layer that makes it have whatever effect you're putting on it, which means it can also be adjusted. by going through image%26gt;adjustments%26gt;hue/saturation, when you change some stuff around and press "ok", you changed the original image, so you can't go back and make it 20% more saturated. you'll just be adding on to it. while making a new adjustment layer can be edited any time.


also, if you notice in the "hue/saturation" panel, at the very top, it says "Edit: Master". you can click the scroll down arrow and it will show an array of colors. choose one and play around with it and see if you like it. try fiddling around with each color individually instead of just changing the entire "master" and you will get a different result =)


have fun!


Where to get Replacement installation software for a digital camera?

Okay so my sister gave me a camera which is a canon powershot sd630 digital elph.





But the thing is that she doesnt have the software or instructions anymore :\





I was wondering how i can go about getting


replacement software?

Where to get Replacement installation software for a digital camera?
Frankly, you'll be better off not bothering with the software. The computer software for your camera is clunky and very limited at best. You will be better off using a flash card reader to download your images quickly and easily into your computer and any simple digital editing program to prepare your images for e-mailing and printing.


If you have a relatively new computer, you may have combination flash card readers built into it (many newer computers do) that will fit your flesh card. If there is not one built into your computer, they can be had at very reasonable prices from almost any store which sells cameras or computers. If you have to buy a plug-in flash card reader, I suggest you bring along your camera or the flash card from your camera when you buy it to make sure you get the right size card reader. The card reader will plug into any USB port in your computer and should require no additional software.


Somewhere on your computer you are likely to also find a digital image editing program. If you don't have one do an online search for "Digital Image Editing Programs". There are many good and free or very inexpensive digital image programs available for downloading.
