Chapter 9 Mastering Digital Video.

In this chapter, I learned how to open windows live movie maker, import my media files from my digital video camera, how to use, preview, and play my video files, as well delete them, and rename them. I learned how to copy and data files, and change the style of titles and credits to a project, preview and save the project, and publish it to either a YouTube account, or save it to my computer, so I cant share it by email, or a different website to upload it to. I learned how to add a title and caption with styles, effects, and transitions to the video, as well as different audio tracks, and ending credits. I also learned how to split and item and remove it as well, or re-position it on the storyboard. You can change the size and length of a movie, one way is by using the playback indicator, and another way is by using the Trim Tool. I learned how to adjust and modify audio settings, and preview and save a project. Then finally publishing the movie, weather its indeed a YouTube account, or just to have on your computer to share it as well to a DVD. I also learned about deleting the unneeded files and concluding the chapter, log-gin off and shutting down the computer.
This concludes what I learned in Chapter 9.

In this chapter, I learned how to I learned how to use the Windows Live Photo Gallery. Which included, how to open windows live gallery, copy date files, add folders to the gallery, view my photos in the gallery, view photos with a live preview as well as viewing videos as well in the gallery. I learned different ways i can view my pictures or videos, includes, by date taken, by tags, which i use alot, you can view them in thumbnail mode with date taken, also using details view. You can arrange, sort, and filter your pictures. Rename groups  of pictures, make copies of pictures,correct red eye, and crop photos. I also learned how you can Print a picture right from your own printer, and High quality glossy photo printer is best to use when printing pictures. You can also create black and white pictures as well. If you screw up a photo, you can also revert back to the original which is pretty cool. I also learned how to use windows dvd maker to create a dvd of files, to use as a backup and to share with others, which was pretty cool too. Basically the same principal as the live gallery, only using videos. You can create cool styles, and transitions, effects, and even a slideshow, as well you can burn the video to a dvd. I also learned how to use the Windows Media Player. Filter settings, add ratings, rip cds, burn cds, and the different audio files types there are. You also can add pictures to the playlist as well, and delete a playlist or a song from the player library. Then finally, logging off and shutting down the computer.
