Advanced Media Lab Video Introduction
Media Lab File Storage
Files should not be stored locally on the advanced media lab workstations but rather burned to a CD-R/RW, saved to a flash drive, or saved to your H: drive (personal network storage) or G: drive (academic or department shared storage). The AML workstations will be routinely cleaned and files saved locally will be permanently lost.
Audacity
Audacity is a free, cross-platform sound editor for use in the Advanced Media Lab or available for download. There are several online tutorials and resources that will help with your projects:
Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro is Apple's high-end digital video production software. Along with other tools such as Soundtrack Pro, Live Type and Cinema Tools, students, faculty and staff can put together a eye-popping movie for whatever project they are working on.
