So films  have to be made only on the right ideas and high platforms may be different ” Many in film production believes that a democratic process will evolve, because of digitization of content, that will ensure that big production houses no longer call the shots. Due to the easy flow of ideas in digital world, power will not be restricted in the hands of  one or other big production houses. There will be a more democratic process via which you will understand the demand that’s there for a kind of cinema. The audience will straightaway give feedback, as it is already happening in the digital film platforms .Instead of stories based on physical geographical boundaries, they are going to be based more on social, psychological geography. This will be so as everyone will be available to exchange ideas on the digital world.”.Make you tube channel and you can earn money by advertisement . Open Shot is a free, simple-to-use, feature-rich video editor for Linux Windows and Mac. The brainchild of programmer Jonathan Thomas, OpenShot has garnered a large and enthusiastic following for many reasons, one being Thomas’s responsiveness to user feedback. To quickly see the best uses of OpenShot, check out the beautifully created videos using open shot. “In short OpenShot is: 1. Easy to use. 2. Can work with HD video smoothly 3. Can change video colouring/lighting, among other things 4. Gives users the ability to add effects. 5. Can render video at a very high speed (especially when compared to Windows editing programs). This really makes OpenShot a powerful addition to the Linux community.” Help manuals for OpenShot are available in several languages – and each includes a simple "Learn OpenShot in 5 Minutes" section. When video production is required of all students, it makes sense to steer students towards an easy-to-use, yet powerful free video editor. OpenShot is that video editor. OpenShot is, quite simply, a cross-platform, free software (GPL licensed) video editing package. It’s available for Linux and, according to their download page, for Windows and Mac, as well.Interestingly, OpenShot is distributed via appimage. That means they provide a single binary that can be run on just about any modern Linux distribution. So, what makes OpenShot 2.3 so ridiculously awesome?.To start with, the new transformation tool is absolutely stupendous. It allows you to easily add some very cool animations to your videos. Simply drop an item (say, an image of your kid playing hockey) on the timeline. Select a spot on the timeline to start the animation, select Transform, then adjust the image however you want in a WYSIWYG way. Drag it around. Resize/reshape it. Then move to the next spot on the timeline that you want the image to do something else and repeat. OpenShot will do the hard work of calculating and rendering all of the frames in between those two points for you. The result is a nice smooth animation put together in just a few minutes. Not only is it easy, but the performance was quite peppy. This new version also adds to create titles for your videos. This is, hands down, the most fun title editor . Some of the built-in templates are a ton of fun and look absolutely fantastic. 

By : M.S.Yatnatti: Editor and Video Journalist Bengaluru : Any amount of e-commerce does not substitute physical hand shake and any amount of e-learning does not replace teacher and CAPTCHA is to defeat the  bot as user of computer and recently election commission of India has brought VVPAT (voter-verifiable paper audit trail) or paper trail machines will be used at polling stations in all future elections where polls are held using EVMs to detect computer frauds  . A CAPTCHA is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to determine whether or not the user is human. The term was coined in 2003 by Luis von Ahn, Manuel Blum, Nicholas J. Hopper, and John Langford. The most common type of CAPTCHA was first invented in 1997 by two groups working in parallel.Create a company that will build new things (innovation) and help humans solve more complex problems. As computers become more and more powerful, they won’t be substitutes for humans: they’ll be complements. The debate of the century...In the future we foresee Artificial Intelligence replacing Humans and their jobs.Will the future tech actually displace humans and their jobs?.It’s easy to say and conclude that Artificial Intelligence could somehow replace us humans in the near future. Due to conventional wisdom. But If you think it that way then you don’t understand enough how computers actually work. If you’re pessimist about the future taking over us I think you watch too much Hollywood Sci-fi movies.Don’t be delusional, don’t try to escape the reality we’re in. Because the reality we’re in is way far different than the one you see in the movies, maybe. The future we’ll see tomorrow is in our hands and it entirely depends on us. UNIVERSITIES the world over are struggling with the digital disruption. universities have a choice. They can remain content merchants, and die or they can transform in knowledge brokers and thrive.The IT Enabled classrooms of the today will not be propelled by school and college administrators but by the young learners. Today's learners require new dynamics and new direction which facilitate active learning and new teaching strategies. Conventional classrooms have to modify and co create existing spaces to provide adaptable, multi-use configurations and new pedagogies. According to experts , the 10 signs are technology, integration, collaborative environment , opportunities to create an expression, inquiry based approach, justification for answers, writing for reflection, use of problem solving methodology, hands-on-learning, teacher as facilitator, transparent assessment. universities were never in the content business but in the knowledge business. Without the platform of content, bringing students to the desirable levels of understanding was impossible, degrees to provide first content and then, for those who pursued higher degrees, greater insights and understanding of the discipline. That content is now so readily available is, in experts opinion, a blessing; universities can now concentrate on the business of creating and inducing meaning.

By: M.S.Yatnatti: Editor and Video Journalist Bengaluru: The AutoCAD and Alternatives to AutoCAD like Draft site , FreeCAD , LibreCAD,NanoCAD, Skechhup Make and ZWCAD are ruling the drawing industry and with an IOT .smart-home and 3 D printing boom there is an impending explosion predicted in CAD jobs opportunities across industries . According to reports Computer Aided Design (CAD) has been a real breakthrough in the drawing and design industry by becoming the primary source of communicating design intent. Before the advent of CAD, the only source for draftsmen was pencil and paper for drawing sketches and engineers were to sit with complicated geometry tools and huge drawing boards . The traditional method of manual drafting is iterative and time consuming.  However, now there has been a paradigm shift from traditional manual drafting to cad design and drafting.

The prerequisites understanding the physical need of the idea translating an idea into engineering challenge and then using CAD software to solve these challenges is critical element of being employable as an engineer as while 1.5 million engineers pass out and graduate every year in India in engineering and technology institution.Learning CAD is very important aspect of being an engineer. Depending on your situation learn CAD in a small or big institution or choose MOOCS platform like coursesera  that offer courses on CAD VLSI CAD and you can utilize AutoDesk university .Another company that   provides lot of resources is Ansys. Lot of software tools are available like commercial and OSS .The AutoCAD and Alternatives to  AutoCAD like Draft site , FreeCAD , LibreCAD,NanoCAD, Skechhup Make and ZWCAD and fusion 360 TnkerCAD BLENDER and other tools .The job descriptions vary between drafters designers and Managers and real key to succeed in CAD is composed of thrtee things “Practice”   “Practice”  “Practice”  .

According to experts some of the benefits of CAD drafting are -Data storing and Accessibility – One of the advantages of CAD drafting is that the drawings need not be filed and stored in folder unlike in manual drafting. CAD drafting can be easily saved on the computer server and can be accessed from anywhere with internet connection. The chance of losing the documents is higher in manual drafting. As CAD drawings can be saved electronically without the use of paper, it is also an environment friendly method.3D views – 3D drawings are the best way to virtually represent a structure. Though one can manually create a 3d model, it wouldn’t look as realistic as the 3D model generated by AutoCAD. AutoCAD breathes life in the 3D model and aid the visualization process. While creating 3D view manually is a challenging, time-consuming and tire-some job,   it becomes much easier with software like AutoCAD.Revisions  – While you create any drawing on paper or software, there is bound to be some amount of revisions or modifications.  In manual drafting, you need to erase and redraw to make any modification to your drawing. CAD simplifies the revision process to a large extent with its various editing tools. With few clicks of mouse, you can undo, redo or delete your actions. You need not re-draw an object anytime later as you can modify the existing object by mirroring, stretching, rotating, scaling etc.Speed and Time – Technologies are invented to make our work easier, save our time and to complete the work faster. AutoCAD is significantly faster than the traditional method of manual drafting. It speeds up the task of preparing bill of materials, reports, scaling etc. The tedious task of drawing each line on paper can be done in few mouse clicks. As CAD software eliminates repetitive iterations, a substantial amount of time is saved. In AutoCAD, data describing a component or its family is associative in nature and hence revisions are automatically made to all places the data is used. Accuracy – In manual drafting, all the objects drawn must be of correct size and alignment. Each object need to be manually verified and dimensioned as the slightest error can be catastrophic to the entire project. With CAD, there are numerous techniques available to obtain exact dimensions thus leading to improved accuracy in the project.Owing to the numerous benefits in terms of speed, accuracy, data storage, revision CAD offers over manual drafting, it has become a standard for the AEC industries.CAD drawing services has changed the engineering industry in many ways, but all for the better. Those who use CAD outsourcing services for engineering find that they're more profitable and successful. Below, you'll find several more reasons how CAD has changed the engineering industry.Realistic Drafting. Before CAD, all drafts were drawn by hand. This means that all models and drafts were 2D (2 Dimensional). In order to make sure the structures were drafted properly multiple drawings were required to depict all sides of the model.Today, CAD software helps eliminate the hand-drawn drafts. With the use of CAD, engineers are able to create 3D (3 Dimensional) simulations of all drafts – whether it be a machine component, structure or other type of model. There’s even an option to take a virtual 3D tour of the structures being drafted with CAD.Networking Capabilities. Before CAD software, engineers had trouble saving and transferring files without worrying whether or not they’d become lost or degraded. Now, with the help of CAD applications like BIM (Building Information Modeling), engineers are able to store their work and findings in a system that saves and transfers files without any complications. Multiple engineers can locate this information and work on a project using the views, tools and access for the same project.
