Yes Digital Director good point. I have been in graphics and computing from before the days of IBM computers. I was using Video capture cards in the late 1980s, black and white stills, then 3 colour stills. Then amazingly video.
I have taught electrical enginnering, process control and early CAD. Since Jan 2000 I have been teaching video whilst editing and DVD production.
The links in the first posting are FREE downloads, that explain the BASICS.
Our target audience are school teachers, who need all the help they can get. Hence we have another web site
www.digitalvideoforteachers.co.uk again with lots of free resources. Again the BASIC 2 documents, and other documents that teachers need over and above such as how to ASSESS video.
Hope this allows FREE access to your readers to what are a pair of useful docments for beginners. Any comments on those would be appreciaited;
