After School: Straight to Work or Vacation

Are you going to find work immediately after you graduate or will you go travelling around the world?

Go find a job immediately when you are off from school? That may be nice: you will be earning money just when your parents stopped giving your allowance. The prospect of earning is very attractive; it could mean you will be buying that mobile phone you have been dying to have--of which your parents insists is a waste of money; your old mobile phone is still functional why buy a new one. If you have work, you think of all that money can buy and it excites you.

Or will you go or do what you want (have a vacation perhaps or just spend the time with your friends until you get bored)? Once you step into the corporate world it will be work and work from there on. Vacation leave won't be enough to enjoy your youth or have the fun of your life. There is no better time to immerse yourself with the joys of living until you do all you want. But also you are faced with the fact that you are broke and even the fare going to your friends' house will be a problem.

Here is a suggestion: avoid applying for a full time job after you graduate from school. Spend half the time enjoying the moments with your friend and half the time working to fuel your expenses.

OpenShot Add Text: Subtitles and Captions

OpenShot is an open source video editing soft. Adding subtitles and captions is quite tricky. Adding subtitles takes effort. Suggestions by GeekOutdoors - You can have the soundwave form displayed so you know where the talking and pausing occurs. - You also use the green marker to help you decide how long the subtitle should be shown. - Encode the subtitles in Notepad so you can easily copy and paste it later on - Turn off the snapping tool which is on by default; to remove subtitle overlap For captions, GeekOutdoors, - used footer text, shortened the duration to like 3 seconds - if you want advanced editing of the text, you will need to download and link Inkscape to OpenShot Check out  basic OpenShot tutorial  or  list of OpenShot tutorial .

OpenShot Add Music or Sound Effects

In OpenShot, you can delete the audio of your video and replace it with another one. You can right click on the video click and select separate video. Or you can click the video and let the audio mute. There is option to fade in and fade out for the audio.
