Animoto Converts your Still pictures to a spectacular video !

Written on 9:32 AM by Rahul Mathur

Sorry fellow readers , i have been busy with my studies lately and same is expected to go on , but i wont stop posting and telling you all about what's up in the world of internet ( with respect to the current post ) . So here is another breathtaking application i found :
Its called :

Animoto


So starting with the features , Animoto does the following :

• Here is what Animoto says about itself : Animoto is a web application that produces MTV-style videos using the images and music you choose. Produced in a widescreen format, Animoto videos have the visual energy of a music video and the emotional impact of a movie trailer. Best of all, no two videos are ever the same. Ever.

• Sharing these videos is easy too. You can easily embed them onto your website and blog or onto social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook. You can also e-mail them to friends and download them to your computer.

• Technique used by Animoto : Animoto uses patent-pending technology to analyze your images and everything about the selected music -- its structure, genre, energy, build, rhythm -- before developing a blueprint for the motion design of your video. The remaining time is spent rendering your video, using a giant farm of computer processors to custom-generate 15 new images per second for your final video.

Here is how you create your video

• Click "Create Video" from the set of buttons in the upper left to begin.
• Your first decision will be whether to make an Animoto Short (a 30-second video) or a full-length video (extended length video).
• (Video shorts are free for everyone and you can make as many as you want).
• Animoto will then walk you through the three steps required to create a video.
• 1) Get your images,
• 2) Get music, and
• 3) Finalize with details.

Actually there are millions of people who already are doing this and its remix is out of the world . I am so glad its free and yeah just check out what i made :

The video has Dragon ball Z Random Pictures on my Computer's drive and A song called " Highway to heaven " - LZ synched . It's so easy to do actually , and the end result is spectacular . Now those who wanted to show people some of their photos with a music background : Its actually a blessing for them because you can embed the video in any popular website we know , ie. ,Myspace, youtube ,Facebook,IGoogle and Lots more !Another upcoming feature is that you can convert your Animoto-d video into an Ipod video or burn it to a disc ! ( thats what i see ).

I am about to Import it to Youtube and Gonna keep it forever ... Why shouldn't i ? It's my first Video :)

Why dont you all try ? and if you do , Dont forget to Paste your Link here !

Faith In God is all that Matters ?

Written on 10:39 PM by Rahul Mathur

Some of you believe in God , while others Don't believe in God. There are few who Doubt HIS existence while Some believe Its Inside us. Some people Worship Idols To express their love while some pray to show their love. But there is just one word to describe everything and that word is FAITH . Yes, Faith In God is all that matters while atheist do not show faith in God so this story might not be so inspiring to them . Here is an true and an amazing story of a boy who will show you what i really mean :

A professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new students to stand and.....

Prof: So you believe in God?

Student: Absolutely, sir.

Prof: Is God good?

Student: Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?

Student: Yes.

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?

(Student is silent.)

Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?

Student: No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?

Student: From...God...

Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?

Student: Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?

(Student does not answer.)

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?

Student: Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them? (Student has no answer.)

Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't. Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student: Yes.

Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Prof: Yes. Student: And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof: Yes. Student: No sir. There isn't.

(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold . Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy . Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it . (There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?

Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor.Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir? (The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class is in uproar.)

Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?

(The class breaks out into laughter.)

Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain,sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.

Student: That is it sir... The link between man & god is FA IT H . That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

This a true story, and the student was none other than......... .. . . .. . . . . .. . . . . .. ...........................................





























A P J Abdul Kalam, Former President Of India.

Firstly thanks to Prabhat ( my classmate ) who agreed to give me this story . Thanks mate.
