Whilst checking out and working through a number of different sites that could be used in media texts such as editing tools and podcast creating programmes, I found some sites that I myself take a personal interest in and decided to try them out to see how they work and what they could be used for.
Since a number of the sites didn't work for me, I had a slightly limited selection, but I still tried out what I could out of what was there for me to try using.
First was TubeChop, a site that chops sections off YouTube videos so the user can select the bit they want to use from a YouTube video. After playing round with this for a bit, I've come to find it really useful. It's simple and easy to use, which I hoped it would have been, as it would've proven to be problematic if it were too difficult to get the hang of. My favourite thing about TubeChop is the simplicity in the processing of editing videos.
Next I tried CuePrompter, which is what it says on the tin: a site that allows you to insert your chosen text and have it scroll down automatically, preferably used during presentations or speeches, especially helpful for those who get nervous when presenting. Although the site's layout itself isn't the most appealing, it is simple to use, much like TubeChop, only there are more options (you can change things in the font such as the colour and size). You can also change the speed at which the text scrolls down using the arrow keys, which proves to be useful for those who talk at different speeds. However, my own personal problem with the site is that, given the simplicity of the directions for use, there could easily be more options added which wouldn't largely affect how easy it is to use. Despite saying this, I am aware that the options given are the most practical and well suited for it's intended use.
