Adobe Contribute

2010-11-23T17:07:39Z

Jeremy: /* Personal homepages */

[[Image:adobe_ct.jpg|frame|right]]

'''Adobe Contribute''' is a [[WYSIWYG]] [[web page]] editor that is used at �鶹��Ƶ to maintain an increasing number of parts of the �鶹��Ƶ [[website]].

== Installing ==
If you do not have Contribute installed on your College-owned computer and want to use it, please contact the [[Technology Helpline]].

== Getting started ==
If you have Contribute installed on your computer and are ready to jump in, the best place to start is the built-in tutorial. To access the tutorial, take the following steps:

# Open Contribute.
# In the [[menu bar]], select '''Help > Contribute Tutorial'''
# If using Contribute CS5, the Contribute Tutorial is located in the lower right of the initial pop up screen.

== Setting up ==
=== Personal homepages ===
To set up Contribute to maintain your personal homepage, please follow the steps outlined in the [[Personal_homepage#Contribute|personal homepage]].

=== Organization website ===
To set up Contribute to maintain your organization's website, please follow the steps outlined in the [[Student organization websites#Contribute|student organization websites article]].

=== Department or office website ===

==== Obtaining access ====
If you would like to make changes to your department or office website, please contact [[Web Services]] via [[e-mail]] at [mailto:web@gustavus.edu web@gustavus.edu]. Web Services will configure your website so that you can edit it in Contribute.

==== Connecting ====
After Web Services has configured your website, you will need to set up Contribute's connection to your website by installing a connection key. If you already have set up a connection to edit a different �鶹��Ƶ website, you can probably skip this.

# [[Media:�鶹��Ƶ.stc|Download the �鶹��Ƶ connection key]].
# Open Contribute.
# In the [[menu bar]] click on "Edit > My Connections."
# A new window should appear. In this window, click on the button labeled "Import."
# Browse to the location the �鶹��Ƶ connection key you downloaded in step 1.
# Select the �鶹��Ƶ connection key.
# Your connection should now be set up and you should be able to edit your website.

== Saving a connection key ==
Since the computers in the �鶹��Ƶ labs reset themselves each time you log out, you are forced to recreate a connection to your website each time you want to use Contribute. However, Contribute can save your connections to a file, allowing you to easily restore them later.

Please note: these steps are only necessary if you're working in a lab environment.

To save a connection key:
# Go to Edit -> Administer Websites -> [Name of your website Connection].
# Select your name and click "Send Connection Key."
# Click Next, then click next again.
# Select "Save to local machine." Choose a password you can remember enter it into the password boxes. Click Next, then click Done.
# Contribute will ask you where you’d like to save the connection key. Save it in your MyData folder on your [[home directory]].
# Click Close.

The Contribute connection to your website is now saved. To load your settings the next time you want to work on your website, just go to your home directory and double-click on the connection key you just saved.

Podcasting Tasks

2010-05-05T21:36:37Z

Jeremy:

{{Template:Needs_description}}

==Basic Project Information==
*'''Type:''' Podcasting (video)
*'''Time Estimate:''' Entirely variable.

==Cost and Services Provided==
===Costs===
((Internal task, N/A))
===Services Provided===
((Internal task, N/A))

==Main Project Steps==

===Planning===
The first step is deciding what the podcast will be on. Typically the podcast is going to take the form of some sort of tutorial, or how to guide. At this point the only podcasts we make are done within, Media Services itself, but this may change in the future. Make sure what you plan to do:

#Has not been done before
#Is relevant
##i.e. not "How to take golfcart for joyrides"

===Setup===
After deciding what the podcast will be about, it helps to make some sort of a small plan of what the video will show, and how you're going to go about doing it. This seems like a small thing, but if you make sure you know what you're doing before you start, you will save yourself a vast amount of time.

At this point make sure you have everything you need for the podcast available. For instance, if you need access to sealed storage, make sure there will be a supervisor around when you need to get in.

===Filming===
Once all preparations have been completed, you are (hopefully) ready to begin filming. At the time of this writing, filming will be best done with one of the '''JVC Everio HDD cameras'''. They work well, and are easy to use. They may not be the most stunning quality, but after all you're filming a podcast, not a documentary. So, exactly what you want.

At the time this was written, Media Services owns two JVC Everio kits. They are barcoded ''KIT20016'' and ''KIT20017''.

'''Tips''':
*Use. The. Tripod. Seriously, whenever you can, use the tripod. No one likes a shaky camera.
*Shoot multiple takes. This is a big one. Always try and shoot at least 2 takes of each thing. Almost always more, but at least two. You'll thank yourself later during the editing process.

===Editing===
Once you have filmed all those great takes, you're ready to edit them together into something resembling a podcast. The first step will be to get the video off the camera. Fortunately, if you used the JVC, this is super easy. Since you filmed to a harddrive inside the camera, all you need to do is hook the camera up to the computer via USB or Firewire.

For this process, make sure you use the '''Video Production Computer'''. This is the only one that has the power to do what you need to do efficiently. It also has some previous work on it that will help you.

On the '''Video Production Computer''', you'll be using the '''iMovie''' software. There's more powerful software on there, but unless you really know what you're doing, you shouldn't worry about it, because you don't need it. Once again, podcast, not documentary.

First, you should create a new project. This is done by going, '''File''' --> '''New project'''. Name your project something logical, making sure to label it as a podcast. After that, you'll need to import your footage from the '''JVC Everio'''. Do this by going to '''File''' --> '''Import from Camera'''. Select the camera (though it should be selected automagically), and then you will be presented with a screen showing all the footage on the camera, divided up into little segments. These are your takes. The footage you just filmed will be down at the very bottom. Deselect everything, and then select the stuff you want to import. Then import it.

Once you have your footage imported, you can get down to the nitty gritty of editing. This part can be a little time consuming, but overall not very difficult. If you have too much trouble figuring out how to edit a podcast in iMovie, then this may not be the best project for you. That shouldn't be a problem though.

'''Tips''':
*Instructions should be probably be given via subtitles or the "instruction shot," which is a solid color background with text on it. Look over the previous podcasts to get an idea of how this works. Audio narration was found to be rather unreliable, and generally not as good. Doing it this way is easier to do, and also easier to follow along with.
*There's a premade '''Media Services Podcasting Team''' intro. Use it. This gives consistency between videos, which is something Media Services wants to work toward.

I don't understand why this would be up for deletion given that you have similar pages for your own helpers -- what makes those any different? This article actually has a purpose... it's serving as a resume-of-sorts and is part of Clark demonstrating know-how for his application to Media Services for the summer. Go ahead and delete mine if it bugs you, but this should stick around for a little bit at least. --[[User:Kseitz|KLS]] 16:00, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Information about a user should reside on that user's "user page" (e.g. [[User:Amatthes|Angel Matthes]] or [[User:Jeremy|Jeremy Carlson]]). Feel free to copy it to the correct location and create a redirect if you'd like.

'''Kevin Seitz''' is a student employee/supervisor and web developer at [[Media Services]]. He spends most of his time making sure every part of [[VirtualOffice]] is running smoothly and all equipment in our office is tracked in our assets management system.

=== I heard you were in the movie ''Up''... ===

Yes, that's me. I'm an extremely large and colorful bird that makes annoying noises and is apparently a girl.

=== Were you being serious when you created this? ===

Not really. It was a rainy April evening and I was helping [[Clark Kampfe]] make his own wiki article/resume for Media Services. If the Helpers can have their own wiki revolution, so can we.

Seriously though... if I'm taking a break from actual code, you should be happy for me.

Jeremy: Reverted edits by Jeremy (Talk) to last revision by Wtonolli

'''GusTv''' is an [[IPTV]] pilot project that allows users to access basic cable channels via their wired [[Internet]] connection.

In order to watch television on your computer, you must
* Plug your computer into an [[Ethernet jack]] (IPTV does not work over [[wireless]] at this time).
* Download [[VLC]] from [http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ http://www.videolan.org/vlc/].
* Install VLC. If you are using [[Windows]], make sure to check the box for the [[Firefox]]/[http://www.mozilla.org/ Mozilla] plugin.

==Windows==

===In a web browser===
If you would like to view television from within a [[web browser]] (easier to use)
* Open [[Firefox]]
* Go to [https://gts.gac.edu/tv/tv.php https://gustv.gac.edu/]

===Using VLC===
If you want to view television using VLC (more channels)

'''NOTE: Version 0.8.6 of VLC works Best With GusTv'''

* Open VLC
* Go to View > Playlist
* Go to Manage > Services Discovery > SAP Announcements
* Wait about 30 seconds (if your [[firewall]] asks you to allow VLC to access the network, say OK).
* Click on the plus sign next to SAP Announcements to see channels. Click on �鶹��Ƶ to see local channels or UCTV International to see international channels.
* [[Double-click]] on a channel to view it.
* Go to View > Full screen to view in full screen.
* For the international channels you may get better results if you go to Video > Deinterlace > Bob (that will get rid of the lines you see when there is a lot of motion).

==Mac==
* Open VLC
* Go to Window > Playlist
* Go to File > Services Discovery > SAP Announcements
* Wait about 30 seconds (if your [[firewall]] asks you to alow VLC to access the network, say OK).
* Click on the plus sign next to SAP Announcements to see channels. Click on �鶹��Ƶ to see local channels or UCTV International to see international channels.
* Double-click on a channel to view it.
* Go to View > Full screen to view in full screen.
* For the International channels you may get better results if you go to Video > Deinterlace > Bob (that will get rid of the lines you see when there is a lot of motion).
