I have been experimenting with several new tech pieces which I have recently added to my collection of software.

I think there are uses for each of them in a drama scenario

The first I wrote about earlier, Magix’s Movie Edit Pro 14 PLUS. What has been particularly amazing about this software is the fact that I can remaster a soundtrack into true 5.1 surround sound. I burned a 5.1 surround sound disk, my first one, and it failed because I did not select NTSC as the format. Magix product are German based so PAL is the standard there. Once I got the hang of that then I created my first true surround sound disc,

It blew me away! A dream of many years finally coming true in my home. So I immediately began to re-master the audio for our Church’s Christmas Play. Can’t wait!

Next I found iClone. This is a 3-D animation software that is truly flexible. I am using this to create a pre-visualization of scenes and ideas I have. With its sibling software 3D Exchange, I can import from Google’s 3D Warehaouse to get a number of landcape and scenery elements to use. These are all convertable into AVI for use with Movie Edit Pro.

Finally, I have been looking into Orb, a personal broadcasting site. From here I can remotely access my media files form any other computer. I may yet start a radio program…..

Till later
