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 .

Cyanosis Verus Pallor

Don't you ever get confused with cyanosis and pallor? When will you say that a person is cyanotic or pale? Remember that cyanotic is taken from cyan or blue. Cyanosis is a bluish discoloration because of deoxygenated hemoglobin in the blood. Pallor on the other hand is due to reduced amount of oxyhemoglobin in the mucous membrane. You can say that an American is cyanotic when you observed that the skin as wells as the nailbeds are dusky (sky color during twilight). In pallor, you will observe the person to be pale like blood has been sucked out. Another major difference between the two is that in pallor body is cool to touch When cyanotic is bluish, pallor is whitish. That way, it is easy to remember the difference between the two at first glance.
