After experimenting with a number of free video editing software and reading users' comments, I have come to the conclusion that VSDC free version is the best free video editing tool available today. I have tested this video editing software extensively on Windows. I am told it works as fine on Mac too, but since I have not used it on Mac, I don't know if any of its features are not available there. Before we discuss why VSDC is the best among free video editing tools, let's talk a bit about the use of videos and why should a common blogger, web publisher or casual user of videos should bother about editing the video. You will find this discussion especially useful if you are very new to the world of video editing or have not applied your mind to this question.     Why use videos on blogs, websites, social media For those used to putting only text and images on their blogs, websites, presentations, etc, putting videos looks like a big bother. If you have that feeling, get r...

We at IndianTopBlogs are big fans of professional image software such as Photoshop. In the hands of an expert, these create fascinating, stunning images. However, we also are aware that for many real-life jobs that do not need image editing finery, these sophisticated software are not required. In fact, they take much more time and energy than you may have at hand. Luckily, modern-age cloud-based software are often much easy and fast and yet produce almost as good results! Let us talk of graphic designs. As a graphic design professional or a design or art-work agency or an avid social media user or a  marketer/ one who needs to make presentations, you need to create designs/ art-works that look professional yet do not take all your time. Traditionally, there was monopoly of some design suites. These were very expensive, and a lot of practice was needed before you mastered them. Whether a simple graphic or a complex one, unless you  mastered the software, your product would app...

Bloggers often ignore some basic points when making a photoblog or making a photo feature for any blog or website. These include inaction or wrong actions relating to design as well as content. 1. Putting many high-resolution images on the blog You should not put more than one or two high-quality photographs on the blog. One or two you may, because you might like to expose your talent to prospective buyers and other visitors.  High-quality photos mostly have a high pixel value, which may lead to slow loading of the page. In addition, stealing of photographs is rampant on the web. Stealing hurts in many ways and the worst non-commercial damage that someone can do is to edit the photo and misuse it especially if it has a person (especially children and beautiful faces). It is more difficult to morph low-quality photos. 2. No 'alt' attribute, caption or title on the photos Photos cannot be read by search engines, at least as of now. So, they cannot index the photo unles...

For some reason, all social websites want us to post images of a particular size, which is not common between any two of them. I don't know if they want to test our knowledge or get fun out of our discomfort. Anyway, let's leave it to them.  The fact, seriously, is that you need to resize photos taken from digital camera or mobile phone, so as to suit them to different social media accounts or other websites. Sometimes you need photos in a particular dimension or size for other purposes. A few quick theoretical points before we discuss how to do things the right way. Talking of photo dimensions and image size Though photos and drawings are always rectangular, the relative measurements of width and height can lead to a variety of shapes, like a very tall but narrow one, a very wide one, a square, and so on. (By the way, with some exceptions, even round or oval pictures have corresponding rectangular dimensions.) Talking of size, photos can be very large or small - th...
