Explanation of "Brad's Resume' Narration Movie"
This multimedia presentation was created using the
freely downloadable Microsoft Windows Media Encoder , the Microsoft Windows Media ASF Indexer (part of the Windows Media Encoder Toolkit) and a LogiTech Webcam on a 366 Mhz eMachine desktop PC with 92 MB of RAM (a $550 PC & DEFINITELY
underpowered for this type of work, but still VERY POSSIBLE AND FUNCTIONAL)
and running Windows 2000 Professional WITH NO video, sound card, and/or
software driver other that which came standard with W2K Pro.
The video was first recorded with the Windows Media Encoder and then the ASF Indexer was used to insert "script markers" at particular points in the video that are nothing more than internet URL (Uniform Resource Locator) addresses no different than the address that you type into your browser. With these "script markers", the video AUTOMATICALLY calls different webpages (for this presentation there's not alot of action, but the power is there), so don't be alarmed when the internet "seems to be doing things by itself", that was planned as a way of directing you to various points in my resume.
If you click on the UNDERLINED "Brad's Resume' Narration Movie with
automatic sequencing" link below my picture (a "high tech"
digital picture taken at the local Wal-Mart Photo Studio), a new, separate
Windows Media Frame SHOULD open on the LEFT SIDE of your browser &
the video should be displayed, load & then start playing in the LOWER
LEFT CORNER of your browser.
If you click on the UNDERLINED "Brad's Resume' Narration Movie for
manual browsing" link below my picture, a new, separate Windows Frame
SHOULD open on the LEFT SIDE of your browser & the media player should
be displayed in the UPPER LEFT of that frame below my picture. You can
then use the "Start", "Stop" & the 50 individually-titled
buttons to start, stop, and skip around to select the particular excerpt
of the video you wish to play.
Look for further use of these techniques throught the internet AND on this
website in such uses as Operator Training & User Manuals, "Online"
Control Systems Troubleshooting, Online Technical Conference Presentations,
etc. (The days of Hal, from the Stanley Kubrick film "2001",
are a ways off but approaching. Although don't expect computers to REPLACE
the human brain, I sure don't. (Editors opinion ONLY, but I COULD be wrong!)
