Dream Studio: 專為影音編輯所打造的 OS (ubuntu)



Dream Studio: 專為影音編輯所打造的 OS (ubuntu), 有空來試試, 其中包含套件:

Cinelerra  - a powerful non-linear video editor comparable to leading solutions like Apple's Final Cut Pro, Sony Vegas, or Adobe Premiere. Cinelerra contains more than 30 visual effects like motion tracking and chromakey, and supports both keyframing and nested sequences.
Ardour - a professional digital audio workstation designed to replace offerings such as Digidesign Pro Tools, Steinberg's Cubase/Nuendo, Apple's Logic, and Sonar. Ardour features unlimited tracks, unlimited undo, and routing to and from any sound source. Ardour comes with support for many different plugin formats, and Dream Studio's version comes with close to 200 plugins/effects including pitch correction, triggers, compression, eq, reverb, and more. Dream Studio also supports VST plugins.
Blender (with Oceansim patch) - a free 3D graphics application, similar to 3DS Max and Maya, that can be used for modeling, UV unwrapping, texturing, rigging, water and smoke simulations, skinning, animating, rendering, particle and other simulations, non-linear editing, compositing, and creating interactive 3D applications, including video games, animated film, or visual effects.
Inkscape - vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format. Inkscape supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha blending, etc.) and great care is taken in designing a streamlined interface. It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path operations, trace bitmaps and much more.
Scribus - professional page layout, akin to Quark Xpress, Adobe Indesign, or Microsoft Publisher, with a combination of "press-ready" output and new approaches to page layout. Underneath the modern and user friendly interface, Scribus supports professional publishing features, such as CMYK color, separations, Spot Colors, ICC color management and versatile PDF creation.
Darktable - a virtual lighttable and darkroom for photographers similar to Adobe Lighroom: it manages your digital negatives in a database and lets you view them through a zoomable lighttable. it also enables you to develop raw images and enhance them.
the Gnu Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) - a raster graphics editor with features similar to Adobe Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. It is primarily employed as an image retouching and editing tool. In addition to free-form drawing, GIMP can accomplish essential image work-flow steps such as resizing, editing, and cropping photos, combining multiple images, and converting between different image formats. GIMP can also be used to create basic animated images in the gif format. At present, GIMP is usable for amateur or professional work with images intended for viewing on monitors and printing on ink-jet printers.
Kompozer - a complete web authoring system that combines web file management and easy-to-use WYSIWYG web page editing. KompoZer is designed to be extremely easy to use, making it ideal for non-technical computer users who want to create an attractive, professional-looking web site without needing to know HTML or web coding, and is a complete alternative to such commercial offerings as Adobe Dreamweaver and Apple iWeb.
Bombono - a DVD authoring program Brasero - a CD/DVD burning application

在 ubuntu 10.04 下更新安裝最新 Firefox 16 & flash player

沒想到這麼容易...

1. 到 Mozilla 正體中文站去下載最近 firefox (我下載的是 firefox 16), 它是一個 bz2 檔 (firefox-16.0.1.tar.bz2)。

2. 解壓縮至任何你想放的地方,例如 /home/你的名稱/firefox

3. 進入 /home/你的名稱/firefox 這個目錄後,找到 firefox, 雙擊即可開啟 (像是綠色軟體,不用安裝)

4. 若你本來有安裝 google toolbar, 則修改

/home/你的帳號名稱/firefox/XXXX.defaul/extensions/{3112ca9c-de6d-4884-a869-9855de68056c}

下的 install.rdf (用文字編輯器,例如 gedit 打開),找到

        4.0.*

這一行, 將 “4.0” 改成 16.0,關 firefox 再重啟即可

註: 我的 windows XP, intall.rdf 路徑是在:

C:\Documents and Settings\帳號名稱\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\hnv1brrh.default\extensions\{3112ca9c-de6d-4884-a869-9855de68056c}

5. 不過,flash player 好像壞了, 網路上有介紹 (Ubuntu下为Firefox安装Adobe Flash Player) 如何安裝最近版 (Flash Player 11 for Linux Version 11.2.202.243) 我發現 (用猜的) 只要將下載的 install_flash_player_11_linux_x86_64.tar.gz 檔解壓縮後, 將 libflashplayer.so 檔, 複製到 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins 中, flash player 即恢復正常 (youtube)。

ubuntu 中預裝的中文輸入法: iBus

ubuntu 中預裝的中文輸入法是 ibus, 其下可加裝我慣用的倉頡三代,ibus 的好處是

1. 預設按 SHIFT 即可中英輸入切換 (像微軟)
2. 在有重覆字時,會自動 "優先" 記住選用你上次選到的字 (有點像微軟的 "新倉頡"),比 SCIM 下的倉頡三代聰明些,... (雖然只是小小的奢求...)

所以我就一直沿用了 (我自已倒是未用過 GCIN, 不知有無聰明自動選字功能)。

在中文輸入狀態下,標點符號也是全形的,一般寫文章是OK, 但如果是寫程式時,全形的空白和逗號就會造成很大的困擾。

此時可按 CTRL+“.”,將標點符號切換成半形



Google toolbar of Firefox 12 (in Linux Mint 13

Google toolbar 已經確定不再官方支援 firefox, 所以必需自已手動安裝 (從 google 尋找,自行下載,因檔案來源非官方,故要注意會有一定的電腦安全風險 )
在 linux mint 13 (ubuntu 也相同)系統位置的

/home/你的名稱/.mozilla/firefox/XXXX.default/extensions/{3112ca9c-de6d-4884-a869-9855de68056c}/lib

(其中 XXXX 代表每台電腦可能不同的隨機碼)
目錄下,找到 toolbar.js, 用文字編輯器開啟, 然後把其中 "www.google.com/accounts”全部改成 "accounts.google.com" 然後存檔, 再重開firefox就可以了
