Editing Video
Want to use just a clip of something longer that you found? No worries. Open-source video editing tools let you take snapshots and screen captures from whatever you see on your screen. While we don't support it, we recommend the widely used freeware CamStudio. It captures, edits and creates industry standard AVI files that can then be output as low bandwidth SWF files. Check with your college for availability and support for other popular video editing tools such as iMovie (for mac) or Final Cut (mac or pc). Convert formats to iPod format or whatever you need using Vixy . |
| |
Streaming your video:
Drexel faculty & staff - check out Drexel IRT's "rich media conversion project" for hosting your own or library-acquired videos for your course.
For students ... see the YouTube or any of the other free video hosting services. |

Penn Special Libraries - Within its system of thirty or so specialized libraries exist a wealth of graphical resources available for photocopy reproduction or borrowing. Search their catalog using the same keywords mentioned above in the Drexel catalog example. Under reciprocal agreements, Drexel graduate students may obtain a UPenn Library Guest card to borrow books directly from most UPenn libraries. Undergrads may use the EZBorrow inter-library loan feature to have books identified at UPenn delivered to Drexel Libraries - but that involves waiting a few days. |

Free Library of Philadelphia Circulating Picture Collection - located at 20th Street and the Ben Franklin Parkway has millions of photos organized into subject folders that can be borrowed, and is open to the public from 9-5pm. Great for historical images. See their other special collections as well. |
