>O2 HUB >> How to improve the quality of your cellphone VIDEOS with YouTube

>

This problem is often referred as the shaky camera syndrome and affects almost all home videos that are shot with hand-held video cameras and smartphones. The video quality could be great but because of shaky footage, they are difficult to watch.
Well the good news is that YouTube engineers have created an almost magical solution to fix your shaky videos with the click of a button. To get an idea, watch the clip below – it’s identical to the one above but with stabilization done by YouTube.

Stabilizing your shaky videos (see how-to) is now almost as simple as shooting new video.
Simply upload the video to YouTube, launch the YouTube video editor and hit the Effects button. YouTube will offer a real-time preview of how the video might look after the stabilization as you move the slider – once you are satisfied, click Save.
YouTube might take a while to process your video (it took more than a few hours to stabilize the above 20-second clip) but once that’s done, the stabilized video will appear as a new video in your YouTube account. Other than stabilization, you may also change the brightness and contrast level of your videos using the same Effects option.

How to Stabilize Videos with YouTube


The following screencast describes how you may easily fix shaky videos with YouTube.

 
Desktop based video editing tools like Windows Movie Maker are speedier and offer excellent support for adding transitions, for mixing audio with video, etc. but stabilization is one feature that is quite unique to YouTube’s online video editor and may therefore prove to be a massive crowd-puller in the long run.

>Two Best Practice Approaches to Cost Streamlining

>

In times of uncertainty, organizations irrespective of size, are faced with the challenge to improve or maintain their margins, by focusing on operational cost efficiencies. They are using different approaches to ride the economic downturn and come out even stronger.

Akzo Nobel’s margin management programs were implemented throughout the company with a strong focus on cost management, and cash management, by closely monitoring working capital and be prudent in capital deployment.
Besides managing costs and working capital, the company also wants to come out of the recession stronger and serve their customers better. Therefore the company focuses on continuous innovation and development of emerging markets. Akzo Nobel uses technology and innovation as key differentiators.
The results of the cost management program are being monitored closely, to ensure full benefit realization.

Oskomera, a steel fabricator,  worked on redesigning their business processes using lean production principles. 
The result: a reduction of work in progress by 85%, a reduction in cycle time by 65%, an improvement of quality levels by 41% and an increase of productivity by 67%.

The lean principles that Oskomera applied were:

  • Quality is integrated in business flows
  • People are an integral part of the business process
  • Stocks are streamlined an waste eliminated.
