Must Have Software

Published by at 10:23 am under Software

If you make short videos or podcasts – here are two Must Have pieces of software: a volume normalizer/equalizer and a teleprompter.

Both are free – yes, free! The developers hope that you will want to buy the full-featured product or suite after using the free component, but there are no restrictions or obligations. Just download and get to work.

Levelator

From the web site description: “Have you ever recorded an interview in which you and your guest ended up at different volumes? How about a panel discussion where some people were close to microphones and others were not? These are the problems the post-production engineers of Team ITC here at The Conversations Network solve every day, and it used to take them hours of painstaking work with expensive and complex tools like SoundTrack Pro, Audacity, Sound Forge or Audition to solve them. Now it takes mere seconds. Seriously. The Levelator is unlike any other audio tool you’ve ever seen, heard or used. It’s magic. And it’s free.”

PromptPCLite

PromptPCLite is the freeware version of Prompt! It is limited to 2500 characters. The developers say, “Simple is the key to Prompt! as it has very little word processing functions (only cut, copy, paste and whatever you decide to type from within the program) and the ability to scroll the type, either mirrored or not. Text can be imported and exported to and from the application in the standard .txt format”

Be sure to download the freeware version, PromptPCLite.
