6 of 9 Red Hat Enterprise Linux If companies are looking to make the switch to Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux is probably the first place they should start. The operating system will set them back a few bucks (it's not free like most other Linux distributions), but it's probably worth the price. Red Hat Enterprise Linux boasts several security features to ensure data is kept safe. It can be installed on a notebook or desktop and, in either case, it runs smoothly. It's highly regarded in the enterprise.

Open Source Horos Alternatives For Mac Pro

This is a long shot, but I'm curious about free alternatives to After Effects/Premiere/Motion/Final Cut. Basically, for my student union, we're having an events week, and since I do Advertising as my degree, I offered to do the logo, posters and flyers. I made them to a decent standard, in my opinion, and everybody else seemed happy with them. However, one of the guy's has a made a promo video for the week.

I have no idea why, but his intention is to make it viral through Facebook. The thing is, the video is horrible. The background music is O Fortuna, and the video itself has been made in Windows Movie Maker. It's a black background with some crappy 3D text advertising some of the events we're holding, and then it finishes with a logo I made. Except he used a low res version that I made to be used on Facebook for people's profile pictures. I get this impression it's going to push people away rather than draw them in. So I have two options.

Tell him to remove it and just stick to the posters and flyers, or I try and come up with a more suitable video. Click to expand.First of all: You can cut a pretty decent video with iMovie. There is no shame in that. Pro editing software does not make your video look more pro.

Good editing does, and above all good lighting and sound capture. That being said, you are looking for two programs: A non-linear editor (Final Cut/Adobe Premiere) and an effects/compositing software (Motion/After Effects).

For the first part, there is a quite impressive Open Source software called 'cinelerra'. However, while it works fine on Linux systems, I wouldn't try using it on MacOS X. And: iMovie will still do a job that is just as good without the incredibly steep learning curve.

For the second part, there is Blender 3D, which by now is more than usable and produces pretty good results. However, if you have never used an animation and compositing software, the time to learn it will be frustratingly long. And probably better spent on improving the look of the original material and the musical background (or whatever you have in mind). So, my advice would be: Don't bother with professional software unless you are planning on using it a lot. Cut in iMovie.

If you really need fancy titles and/or visual effects, invest 50 bucks in Apple Motion. It will save you many hours. Click to expand.Yes, that's true. You can cut a great video in any program if you know how to put beautiful shots together.

But I will say, pro software makes a difference in export. I think there's another option somewhere, but the last time I ran 1080p video into iMovie and exported it without changes, I lost about half the bitrate, making for a file size I was questioning how it could be so small until I saw it full screen and watched in terror as my blacks were all. Compressed looking.
