Tim Siglin | How do you budget for a video recording, production, and media delivery solution for a small house of worship? Here are two ways of thinking through a very low-cost solution.
Tim Siglin | Today, many smaller houses of worship are aspiring to add video, graphics, and enhanced sound capabilities. But the two primary questions in these smaller churches, still remain: First, do we need video? And, if we do, can we afford it?

Tim Siglin | Houses of worship in all shapes and sizes face issues of recording and transmitting their message. Some spread the word (or Word) by tape, some by CD, some across radio and cable television. Yet those in the super-large, or “mega-church,” category, face several other challenges that most houses of worship don’t face. Let’s look at a few of these.
Tim Siglin | Liquid packs a powerful set of features into a single program. While other suites of programs offer similar functionality, they do so at a dollar amount more than twice that of Liquid.

Tim Siglin | Cleaner XL 1.5 builds on the legacy that Cleaner has created over the last decade, but it also adds new features, formats, and codecs to the mix, plus enhanced transcoding speed via hyperthreading support. For anyone who needs a way to standardize content for editing, or to easily put content on DVD, the Web, and upcoming delivery media, Cleaner XL 1.5 deserves a serious look.

The April announcement of the deal paved way for speculation on how Adobe would leverage Macromedia’s Web and interactivity tools. With word that the acquisition is now complete comes a clearer, though somewhat surprising, picture of what the future may hold.
As the love fades from Adobe’s relationship with Apple, Macromedia’s Web development and video products could give the company a leg up in the creative tools war.
