Make PANORAMA CREATOR Fontforge sources


do not know my own power was so easy until I tried fontforge.
FontForge (formerly known as PfaEdit [1]) is a font editor (source) developed by George Williams, BSD licensed and available for most common operating systems (GNU / Linux, Windows and MacOS). Most design blogs and I was looking to write this post say that fontforge is the same level as very popular programs of its kind as Fontographer, but I had never worked with an editor sources and I can tell you that FontForge is very easy to handle and are perfect sources. The only thing I have not liked so far is that fontforge has no support in English, the program is translated and on the website there is a help file in English.

Fontforge supports many font formats including TrueType, PostScript, OpenType and SVG also has a proprietary format that uses vector graphics to keep the sources which allows sources to transform other formats into fontforge and vice versa. In the Wikipedia is a summary of the most important sources developed for this program:

* Free UCS Outline Fonts (freefont) * Linux Libertine

* DejaVu Fonts
* Asana-Math
* Beteckna
* Junicode
* OCR-A
* Rufscript
* M + Fonts
* Jura
* AtariSmall
* Engadget
* Fonts included with Fontforge
* Open Din Schriften Engschrift
* OSP
foundry
And hopefully soon here is the "sans caminoalsoftwarelibre "

ArtistX (extraordinary artistic tools)


I have been in the task of finding all distributions of GNU / Linux that are designed for the art work, in the past I have spoken of OpenArtist (based on Ubuntu 8:10 and more than 1000 programs for image management, video programming, audio, web and even live video and audio - DJ and VJ -)

This week I downloaded and have been testing with my students ArtistX, a distro based on Ubuntu 9:10. and I thought OpenArtist much more stable and easier to handle. ArtistX is pre-installed more or less virtual 2500 programs for mind to do everything you can do about GNU / Linux using free software.

of the highlights of what comes pre-installed is: Gimp, Inkscape, PIN2, Krita, Synfig, Rawstudio, Skencil, Hugin, Blender, Wings3D, KPovModeler Povray 3.6, k3d, Cinelerra, OpenShot, Kino, openmovieeditor, Kdenlive, pitivi , Avidemux, DeVeDe, Mplayer, Helix Player, Videolan, Xine, Kaffeine, Kmplayer, PD and externals, Rosegarden, Ardour, TerminatorX, Cecilia / Csound, Gnusound, Mixxx, OpenOficce and so forth .... (All audio, video, VJ and DJ, bitmaps, vector images, video games, 3D, 2D animation ....)

works with the KDE graphical environment, which I found very interesting my students who were only familiar with Gnome. I liked to meet the company that produces ArtistX is the idea that their distribution can be used professionally (not true openartist) including the website offer customized versions massive facilities as a business platform, also have a personal training program that can lead to any institution. (USA only)

One thing that many users may find difficult is that many of the tools are not translated into English, also has support for Genius tablets only for Wacom. Definitely
this distribution seems better than OpenArtist, especially for its stability.

Video Editing on Linux with Cinelerra


One area where more has cost the software is free to enter the video editing, most of the editors available for Windows and GNU / Linux versions are not yet stable and no projects receive much user support. But for 10 years, a professional video program, free and works on GNU / Linux, called Cinelerra .

The first version of Cinelerra was developed by the company Heroine Virtual Ltd in 1996. Since then, this video editing program has changed and became what is today and most likely will continue to improve over time. It has a lot of transitions, fades and effects that are downloaded from web site of cinelerra , to work directly Avi files with , mpeg, mod , raw and ogg . ( RAW, because it incorporates a photo editor)
Cinelerra audio and video supports high-fidelity video can handle any speed or size, to be independent in resolution and framerate . Like their counterparts Cinelerra own video window has a composition that allows the user to perform common editing operations and keying (blue screen). This program has many features for uncompressed content, processing and production of high resolution.

This editor is useful for professional filmmakers, but not for the fans.
tools are much more suitable for the latter, such as OpehShot , Kdenlive , Kino or Lives are much easier to use and have intuitive graphical interfaces. In addition cinelerra can be a bit difficult to install for novice users of GNU / Linux, for this reason web page have a comprehensive list of all distro with pre-installed Cinelerra. These are AVLinux , ArtistX , dyne: bolic , Elive , x-evian , MediainLinux , Musix , openArtist , Slo - Tech , pho ( garbure ) and Knoppix . (For users of Ubuntu is a simple tutorial to install Cinelerra )
If you want to know more about Cinelerra, you can download it and try to go to the web site http://cinelerra.org/


This is the video editor I'm currently learning to drive since I've been using the last year Kdenlive and need a more professional tool. I hope soon to publish a more complete review on how to use this program.

And finally here's a little video tutorial on making a chroma key in Cinelerra.

More Implantation Bleeding Pregnant With Twins?




Normally in this blog talking about free programs for all types of applications daily sometimes I focus more on those related to the production of images because that is my field of work, and I have a policy never to speak more than twice of the same program ... but .... what is happening with blender 3d worth made visible by the entire free software community and for the artistic community.
For those who do not know Blender 3D is a very advanced program that offers the same possibilities their proprietary counterparts for modeling, mapping , animation and final production of audivisual 3D. He had already spoken on this blog from this program to refer to animation Big Buck Bunny , we can find on youtube or blender page (http://www.blender.org/)

Today I want to show London Project an independent film with no budget (his work is entirely done by volunteers) full of visual effects developed in Blender . This long has been considered by many U.S. media as no-budget film (it's a genre) most ambitious in history.
And of course, the best tool for this type of project is Blender, since it has an active community people available to donate their time and talent.

Those interested in 3D or science fiction, can enter page Project London and find out more about this project. Even as work.
