Flixlab’s iPhone app makes video editing social – without actually editing

Flixlab, a brand new iPhone application, is “social video & photo editing” without the need to actually edit anything, you can create and share great movies automatically, add transitions, titles, music etc., all with just a few taps on your iPhone display.

The app basically works by sharing pictures and videos with your friends and family, so if you’re both attending the same event, it will be like covering it from different angles at the same time and then mixing the best video and photos into one single movie afterwards.

Flixlab even automatically recognizes that you and your friend might be shooting the same thing, ie. your friend(s) is nearby, and it will ask if you want to share your pictures and videos with each other, allowing you to setup an “event” which you can then leave once you’re done shooting.

So with Flixlab, you don’t have to ask your friends or family members to hassle with forwarding their content from a recent trip, you can just “use it” via Flixlab and include it in your video. Don’t forget to add some cool transitions and soundtracks, too. Once done, you can tag who ever is in the video so that your video will appear on their Facebook wall, if you decide to publish it to Facebook, which is of course also possible with Flixlab.

Flixlab is the fun and fast way to make great movies with your iPhone – and share them online!

Nikkor 24-120mm f4 (vs Nikkor 18-200mm VR in quick lens sharpness comparison test)

I’ve been a happy user of Nikon’s 1st generation Nikkor 18-200mm VR f3.5-5.6 DX lens since I got it for my Nikon D5000 shortly after I purchased the D5000. However, I quickly learned that a fast prime was a must so I also purchased the Nikkor 35mm f1.8 AF-S, which is an amazing (and cheap) lens, I highly recommend it.

As for the 18-200mm VR lens, it ended up spending more and more time collecting dust on the shelf after I upgraded my D5000 to the new Nikon D7000. An upgrade which was well worth-it in my case, I might add (also read: 5 reasons to replace your Nikon D5000 with D7000 and 5 reasons not to replace your Nikon D5000 with D7000). The only downside is, the D7000 demands quality glass. You’re not going to get worse pictures with D7000 and the same lenses as used on D5000 or similar, but D7000 more easily shows minor faults in your not-so-expensive lenses. For me, this meant my trusty old 18-200mm lens really started to show those compromises that everybody is talking about in terms of super zooms.

Expand Your Small Business Online the Easy Way

In the early days, if you want to build your own website, you need to know how to use the HTML language, scripts and other programming techniques. It really sounds like it is a difficult and daunting task, and this is probably one of the main reasons why large businesses employ those who are extremely adept in the field of computer programming.

What about you, a certain single individual who would like to start up a small business online? If you have enough money to spare in order to hire someone who can do the “build-my-website” part, then the problem is solved. However, what if you cannot afford to hire someone like that? Give up and let go? That would probably be the outcome.

Actually, there is a solution. To those who would like to start up their own website for their personal or business purposes but do not know how to build one, all you’re going to need is a website builder.
