Recommendation from Clarence Chapman via G+ - If anyone is looking for a relatively in expensive video editing program that has a lot of ability and runs very simular Final Cut Pro try Cyberlink Power Director. We have been using it for a couple of years now and it is pretty powerful software.

This is very good software at an extremely good price for only a short while more. A good training course on udemy.com https://www.udemy.com/powerdirector/

A recommendation from Pastor Rob Guenther - He writes ... I found a series of podcasts recently that I've been enjoying and would recommend. Check out: http://quickanddirtytips.com/ (particularly Get-It-Done Guy, Get-Fit-Guy, and Tech Talker. But I also enjoy the Grammar Girl and the Public Speaker as a pastor/writer/preacher). Only 6 to 8 min. podcasts, but half that when I listen in double time.   

livecode.com detailed video on what it is as a platform.

I have not used livecode.com myself, but this video goes over the simplistic nature of the programming language and how well it works for student learning of programming concepts. Check out the impressive portfolio of real apps online out on the web. It might be great for development of church or school apps too.

Fantastic animation site!

Great website with tutorials and lots of other information about Diigo. Excellent resource! Found this through a search for tutorials on WiZiQ.com.

Shared by Pastor Rob Guenther - I've often wondered why DVD's don't have a TV edit track. You'd think it would easy enough to add a track where the foul language is edited out just like they do on TV. I'd let my boys watch some PG-13 movies if they had such a track. Well, there may finally be a solution I've been looking for... VidAngel.com offers $1 movie rentals. Well, sort of. You pay the retail price of the movie (let's say $20) to get a digital copy and they promise to buy it back (in this case, for $19) within 24 hours. (Or for a $2 "rental" fee if you get HD instead of SD.) I think it works like Red Box in that if you don't return it in 24 hours, they buy it back for $1 (or $2 in HD) less the next day until you run out of "credit" and then you eventually own it for $20. Cool program. But... what I like even better is the filter options they give. You can choose to remove sex scenes or bleep out certain language. Then it shows you what you'll see and hear and the new length of your movie. I think this could work well for youth groups as well as for individual or family uses. I think I'm really going to like VidAngel. I can still be culturally current but without putting garbage into my head. I may ditch Netflix DVD for VidAngel soon.
