LSS has a number of video screencasts that demonstrate how to edit video with Apple's video editing software, iMovie and Final Cut Pro. Screencasts are particularily useful to get a sense of a particular work-flow, and have the added benefit of being able to fast-forward, rewind, and skim through the video.
The tutorials using Final Cut Pro 6 take the viewer through a typical process of editing a lecture: trimming the beginning and ending, adding text and transitions.
Final Cut Pro is Apple's professional video editing software. Available in LSS's Video Production Lab, Final Cut Pro is in many ways easier to work with than it's consumer-level counterparts.
The following Quicktime video clips take the user through the process of editing a classroom language demo in typical fashion: trimming the beginning and end, adding text, transitioning between clips, and fading video.

iMovie is Apple's entry level video editing software that comes as part of the Apple iLife suite of media production tools. The following screencast videos review basic operations of the software from a project-based approach.
The LSS Learning Lab has reopened. The old ceiling has been removed and will be replaced with a new ceiling.
We expect the Learning Lab to remain open during construction, though some areas may temporarily be blocked off.
The ceiling in the adjacent computer lab (259A) is currently being installed and will reopen on or before June 25.
Mold has been discovered in insulation above the ceiling in the LSS Learning Lab and adjacent computer lab (room 259A). Both labs will be closed while ceiling material is being removed and will reopen as soon as it is safe to reenter those areas.
A new ceiling will be installed in both the Learning Lab and 259A. We expect the Learning Lab to remain open during construction, though some areas may temporarily be blocked off.
One of the best things about teaching at UW-Madison is the wide array of support options available for instructional technology, media production, and technical support.
Thanks to a series of grants from Friends of the UW–Madison Libraries, the LSS Learning Lab in 259 Van Hise offers a growing collection of world language DVDs for check-out by students.
The 3rd Annual LACIS Festival de Cine ran on campus from Feb.29-March 2. This year's festival featured past and present films from Argentina.
If you missed the screenings or are interested in seeing more cinema from Argentina, check out our collection of films from Argentina and other Spanish speaking countries: http://imp.lss.wisc.edu/lss/mediacat/span.pdf
Madison had growing pains just like any other city. The newest arrivals to our beautiful Capitol were shunted to an area in the center of town called Greenbush, and instead of becoming a slum, it became a haven of culture and harmonious peace. Italian families mingled with Polish families, African-American families lived alongside Jewish families, and it was a wonderful place, but a place with some notoriety and a bad reputation.
