Adobe Audition https://padlet.com/meousensei/multimedia4eltClass1/wish/2328485895 URL:https://www.adobe.com/vn_vi/products/audition.html

What can the tool do?
Adobe Audition is a powerful audio editor for Windows and Mac that’s great for improving audio quality, mixing, and mastering.

Personal Experience
I tried this once and instantly loved it due to its versatility in the making and editing of sound. It includes tools to reduce background noise, mix and master recordings, and add effects to make your sound pop. It’s good for a wide range of uses, including live music recordings, where the noise reduction and mastering tools come in extremely handy.The price could be a little bit out of the pocket for most of the people. You get a 7 day trial for free so it's good if you just want to use it shortly. However, if you are really invested into it, Adobe Audition is really worth the price.]]> 2022-10-06 01:02:11 UTC https://padlet.com/meousensei/multimedia4eltClass1/wish/2328485895 Animaker https://padlet.com/meousensei/multimedia4eltClass1/wish/2328489476 Link to access: https://www.animaker.com/
Animaker is so friendly user that many people can create videos quickly and effectively. We can form the characters we want (like dress up game), make animation for the them as well as embed the audio (voice) for them. We can aslo change their facial expressions for the purpose of matching with the content and the messages we want to convey. Besides, it allows us to choose available suitable backgrounds or elements for our stories. However, it not only limits the capacity of the pictures or videos we import, but also the times we download our products. One thing I hate most about the web is its existential language: French. That's why sometimes I have to translate some functions if I want to use. But it's still worth experiencing.]]> 2022-10-06 01:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/meousensei/multimedia4eltClass1/wish/2328489476 4.

It's a decent app when I first searched for an editing and creating audio tool due to its wide range of support in file extension such as WAV or MP3, but it also supports a number of other file formats including VOX, GSM, WMA, real audio, AU, AIF, FLAC, OGG, and more. The other plus point is that it is completely free to download so I didn't have to pay a single penny in order to get the software for my need.

- What can the tool do?
Canva is one of the most popular and simple tools for creating, and editing animations and comics.
+ In Canva, we can use ANIMATE to choose the types that you want to present, which is very convenient and easy for everybody to create and edit for the initial approach. Also, with the support automatically the order of objects appearing, the movement of objects feels smoother.
+ In Addition, the simplization in editing supports every user to make everything much easier, including comics.
- Personal experience: 
+ I have to admit that Canva provides a lot of types of animations for users to maximize the smoothing and save time, I guess. For the first time, my experience in Canva was quite great. But to make animations much more complicated and appear as I want, Canva still has limitations. 
+ Of course, I have not mentioned the Premium version, it's great but hard to afford for a long time.     ]]> 2022-10-06 01:15:35 UTC https://padlet.com/meousensei/multimedia4eltClass1/wish/2328502069 Animaker https://padlet.com/meousensei/multimedia4eltClass1/wish/2328502452 It is an app that you can use to create animated videos. I have just experienced it 10 minutes ago. First, you can choose your character and customize him/her to emphasize the characteristic through appearance, clothes, or facial expressions. Then you can choose the activities that the character will do in your video. There are multitudes of activities which the tool called those are Smart Move such as crying, laughing, driving, eating, talking, punching, holding objects, etc. If you want the character to move around in an appointed motion, you can use the Multimove which varied in different categories such as rise&fall, left to right, floating, curve, bounce, etc. You can also decide the objects and backgrounds that go well with the character. There are a variety of backgrounds like supermarkets, schools, roads, forests, etc. After that, you will have to adjust the scene timing basically how much time will that scene be shown on the screen. Moreover, you can add text and format it with similar options as Microsoft Word. For the audio, you can even voiceover for your animated video or choose from available audio. The final step is adding background music from your laptop.

Adobe Premiere Pro https://padlet.com/meousensei/multimedia4eltClass1/wish/2328502627 Adobe Premiere Pro is a timeline based and non-linear video editing software, being part of the Adobe Creative Cloud.

It geared towards professional video editting, thus it is an all-rounded software that can manage almost every editting needs.

Personal experience: just like its siblings (AI, PS,...) it is a fairly intuitive software and pretty easy to handle the basic features such as adding sounds, sequencing the clips, colour grading,...). There are advanced features available which can be learnt through youtube videos as it is pretty difficult to figure out all the functions and tools by myself.]]> 2022-10-06 01:16:01 UTC https://padlet.com/meousensei/multimedia4eltClass1/wish/2328502627 Invideo https://padlet.com/meousensei/multimedia4eltClass1/wish/2328506435  https://create.invideo.io/main-online-video-maker?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Global_Search_Brand_Exact_EN&adset_name=InVideo&keyword=invideo&network=g&device=m&utm_term=invideo&utm_content=InVideo&matchtype=e&placement=g&campaign_id=18035330774&adset_id=140632017272&ad_id=616240030681&gclid=Cj0KCQjw1vSZBhDuARIsAKZlijTEafUZC1waFkj7fAueI23kW0AFapL7pQY8pzpmmywDPilFEP-K7DYaAp2DEALw_wcB

TikTok is a popular social media platform, usually used for entertaining. However,  creating videos for educational purposes are also available. 
 
 Based on my experience, TikTok is easy to use, firstly because anyone can experience the video creating and editing process just by downloading the app on their personal devices, and it also takes a very short amount of time to get used to all the tools on TikTok. Moreover, there is a great amount of templates, filters, etc. that support to create various concepts for videos. However, because TikTok is mostly used for entertaining purpose, it is hard to create a learning-related content that is attractive to learners. ]]> 2022-10-06 01:20:05 UTC https://padlet.com/meousensei/multimedia4eltClass1/wish/2328507708 POWTOON https://padlet.com/meousensei/multimedia4eltClass1/wish/2328508084 URL: https://www.powtoon.com/
