Second Life: Burn2 2016

by

I have been learning more about making videos. There are the individual ‘things’, tasks… whatever. Then there is the problem of putting them together. First tries tend to be lame… but, this isn’t too bad… well, hopefully it isn’t painful and gives an ideas of what Burn2 is like.

There are various tasks I wanted to figure out. Audio in Premier, Adobe’s video editor, is a new area. There is an amazing range of tools for audio in Premier but, they are well hidden. Plus there are a number of image and video editing tools, less well hidden.  Lots to learn.

Windows 10 Lock Screen Images

by

Win 10 has three settings for how your Windows lock screen displays; Windows Spotlight, Picture, and Slideshow. The Spotlight option provides a parade of images from all over the world. Before you login you often have the option to click on an ‘about’ type link. After login it takes you to a web page explaining where in the world the image was taken and something about it.

Along with the pictures you occasionally get an ad. I am guessing about 1 in 10… But, the images are worth the occasional annoyance. Some of the ad pictures are pretty neat. Whatever, I have Spotlight on.

Windows caches these images in the system. So, you can find and save them for later use. They are well hidden and the names are disguised. If you want to save the images, check out the article: How to Save Windows 10’s Lock Screen Spotlight Images to Your Hard Drive.
