Mac vs PC

Apple фигеет не хуже Чавеса. Они мне прислали e-mail... так, стоп, погодите... они мне прислали e-mail? А как они узнали мой адрес? Ах да, они в прошлом году заставили меня загрузить iTunes и для этого нужно было им сообщить мой адрес. Я старательно проверил, чтобы нигде не было указано, что я хочу получать от них рекламные e-mails (эта опция, кстати, стояла дефолтом). Но вот прошел почти год и они видимо решили, что я забыл об этом и решили прислать мне рекламный е-mail. О том, как хорошо редактировать фильмы на Mac и как плохо на PC.

Для Mac был следующий текст:
1. Connect your camera.
2. Open iMovie (included in every Mac) and watch your video import automatically.
3. Drag clips, music, and photos into the timeline.
4. Take a bow. Don't forget to thank the Academy.

Для PC шел гигантский текст, который я спрячу под кат, и который должен был продемонстрировать, что на PC редактировать фильмы - дело практически невозможное.


1. Connect your video capture device. (What's that? A video capture device is what
some software companies call your camera.) Your video capture device doesn't
magically communicate with your PC. You'll need a compatible cable, compatible
video card, compatible display, compatible sound card, compatible pointing
device (that's PC for mouse), and compatible memory. If you don't have
compatible devices, add external ones and make sure you have compatible cables
and connectors for them. Great. On to the next step.
2. Open your movie-making program. Your PC didn't come with a movie-making program? Visit
your local technology store or purchase a movie-making program online. The good
news is that there are about 1000 third-party movie-making programs to choose
from. The bad news is that there are about 1000 third-party movie-making
programs to choose from. Once you've installed the program of your choice,
you'll want to follow these steps for most movie-making programs.
a) With the proper capture hardware ready, download your footage. To start downloading
your footage, go to File and choose Capture. (Keep reading. Mac filmmakers are finished, but your PC movie-making experience still has a way to go. A long way.)
2. Go to the Video Capture Device menu, choose Available Devices, and choose your
camera type.
c) In the Enter a File Name for Your Video box, enter a file
name for your video. Then, in the Choose a Place to Save Your Video box, choose
a place to save your video. If you are unsure where to save it, click Browse,
and browse through the hundreds of places you can save your video.
d) If at any moment you need help, use the Device Capture wizard, the Device Connection
wizard, the Device Compatibility wizard, or the Device Requirement wizard. If
you can't locate the wizard you need, refer to the Help wizard.
e) If you can't access the Help wizard, call tech support, cross your fingers, and hope
you get someone who actually works at the company.
3. After your movie-making program has downloaded the footage and created video clips, you can
finally start to make your movie. Is your computer running a little slow now?
Did you remember to make room on your PC for this massive video project? Yes, of
course you have to. You can always reinstall what you remove. Make sure your PC
is equipped with a 600-megahertz processor, 128 megabytes of RAM, and 2
gigabytes of space on your hard drive. However, a 1.5-gigahertz processor, 256
megabytes of RAM, and 4 gigabytes of space on your hard drive is recommended.
Why didn't we say that in the first place? Well, we like to give you options.
Make sure your computer is up to par, and let's move on.
a) Arrange your video clips in the order you'd like them to appear.
b) To trim video clips, open the Clip menu, choose Trim, then click on your footage and edit away.
c) You want music in your movie? You'll have to import that using a different
program. Refer to your program documentation.
d) Photos? Now you're pushing it.
e) Add all the effects (available in a separate program), titles, and
credits (available in a separate program) you need to complete your movie. Now
you're on your way.
4. In order to play the movie you've just created, you may need special software. Refer to your program documentation for ways to play
and share your movie.
5. Take a bow. Wasn't that easy?

Большая часть из того что там написано - передергивание фактов и вранье.  Зла на них не хватает...

Реально я для Mac написал бы инструкцию еще короче:
1. Connect your camera. Your Mac does not have the right connection slot? Well, you're fucked. Go to the nearest Mac store and spend two grands on POS that will turn obsolete in a year.

У меня все выглядит ОК. Немного поправил, но исправил ли - не знаю.

Да, исправил.

Натуральная антиреклама. Жаль, что привлечь их нельзя, поскольку РС производят многие компании. Apple уроды, полностью согласен.

Кстати, ты не редактировал MPEG2 файлы случайно?

Я пару раз вырезал из них кусочки, используя video dub. Посмотри на www.videohelp.org там очень много програм для самых разных целей, платных и бесплатных, с честными обзорами.
