Manipulating Video and Audio Data



Project File: A file created by Xcode that organizes source code, resources and settings used to build a product
  • Is saved with a .wlmp file name extension
  • Contains information about the arrangement and timing of photos, videos, text, muic, transitions, and effects that are used in the current project and appear on the storyboard. The original video, photo, and music files are linked to the project and aren't changed when editing in Movie Maker
  • Can be opened and edited in Movie Maker from where it was last saved
  • You can only open and view projects in Windows Live Movie Maker

Digital- A method of storing, processing and transmitting information through the use of distinct electronic or optical pulses that represent the binary digits 0 and 1.

Advantages and Disadvantages of digital data

Advantages
  • The system does not have noise (random unwanted variation)
  • Digital data doesn't degrade
  • Less expensive
  • More reliable
  • Easy to manipulate
  • Flexible
  • Compatible with other digital systems

Disadvantages

  • Sampling error
  • Require greater bandwith than analogue to transmit the same information
  • The detection of digital signals requires the communications system to be sycnhronised
