Jaycut

I really liked jaycut. This is an online streaming website that allows the users to create and edit videos.  For this assignment we were asked to create  a video.  This website was very easy to use. All you had to do was upload your videos and you were done. For instance, I already was working on a video for another class so I decided to take this video and combine it with another video in this class. My theme was "Interuptions". In this video I just showed how you could be watching something good and all of sudden a breaking news report interupts your programming. It was cool and I had fun with this.  Jaycut allowed the user to add text, music, and tranistions to the video. Also did I mention it was free.  Jaycut is a great tool to use if you don’t want spend any money on a professional video and editor.  For someone like me, it was fun because it allowed me to be creative and show my skills.  If you feel the same way I do then jaycut would be a good tool to use. On the other hand the only down fall to jaycut is how slow it is.  By it being an online streaming video editor it took so long to load or preview your movies. Using this website will take patience and effort.  Sometimes it  got so slow that it took five minutes for a 2 minute video to play.  Don’t get me wrong if you have put the time and effort into it, waiting to see your finished product will not be a problem. To future users I suggest you use  web browers such as safari or internet explorer to launch this website because it is just a little bit faster than firefox. As you can see I have embedded my video. Take the time, enjoy, and ask yourself " have something like this every happen to you?". If so you can see why I took this approach for creating a video like this.

  1. Very good video! I loved the concept. I also hate when your watching something good and it is interrupted by a news break. You looked very calm and speak very well on camera. You would be great as a sports broadcaster. Great Job!

  2. Hah, nice idea. And pretty well shot too. Your news segment was nicely done and it does have that same, jarring feel of getting interrupted by a news break. There's a point where the audio goes out right after the start of the "news break" segment. I'm not sure why but you may want to check the audio and see if you can fix that weird dip. Otherwise, good job.
