Camtasia 7 and Full HD (1920x1080 / 1080p resolution)

As the post implies that is not something that works out of the box. But the following steps proved to work to create a video recorded on full HD.

Out of the box Camtasia 7.1.1 was always producing videos with missing lower right hand-side; Like it was not taking the whole screen, but only 1/2-2/3 of the top-left-most area.

Once I figured out a way to force the full HD resolution it would give me an out of memory exception:

Camtasia Studio

Error: E_OUT_OF_MEMORY has been returned when trying to
write the file. This may be caused by the videos with large
dimensions on the timeline. Please verify that all videos on
...

  • When selecting screen or manually highlighting the screen area the recording would correctly put the green boxes around the full screen space.
  • Yet, the recording dimension were something around 1500x800, not 1920x1080.
  • So, this needs to be manually edited.
  • After the recording finished, for whatever reason, the resulting capture-1.camrec would have a zomm applied - this needs to be reset to no zoom.
  • When then the recorder hands off the file to the Camtasia studio, the preview would stay blank/black.
  • Double clicking the thumbnail would "light up" the preview.
  • Directly trying to now save this to an MP4 would result in an out of memory error message.
  • Now a shrink to fit zoom needs to be applied, like 640xsomething.
  • Et voila, works

Artifical Intelligence / Machine Learning: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) / Generative Modeling

Image
While there is a lot of buzz on data analysis and understanding data there for applied use of artifical intelligence and machine learning it is less known in the public on what Artifical Intelligence can do regarding generating original content and altering existing content. So called Generative Adversarial Networks can generate or change pictures and can even alter videos. E.g. The website www.ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com gives and interesting and somewhat worrisome examples of that technolgy. The speed at which this technology evolves is as astounding as the results it can give already. The technology can not only be used to generate static content like the pictures of faces, but can also modify videos. There is an example where the same scene filmed by day is recreated to appear at night: Another example illustrates how a video of a horse is transferred to a video of a zebra. As Ian Goodfellow points out the GAN did not only change the brown horse to be white with bla...

Dates in JSON

What format is the right one in JSON? "Or best? Is there any sort of standard on this?" "DateTimes in JSON are hard. The problem comes from the JSON spec itself: there is no literal syntax for dates in JSON. The spec has objects, arrays, strings, integers, and floats, but it defines no standard for what a date looks like." A common date/time-format used is ISO 8601. It is also used widely in libraries such as JavaScript's toJSON-method and Json.NET . In principle this turns the DateTime string into: <YYYY-MM-DD>T<HH:MM>[:SS.SSS][[+|-]HH:MM[:SS]|Z] Example: { "lastPlayedDateTime": "2021-12-28T23:30:00+01:00" } What's the Z? Z depicts the shorthand notation for UTC times, e.g. "2009-02-15T00:00Z" . Sources: Serializing Dates in JSON StackOverflow What is the "right" JSON date format?
