My own music mix with allot special effects

Hello people browsing XDA
I've just finished my own little music mix. Lately i've been practising allot with adobe after effects so it has a nice video with some cool special effects. This is my first try and i'm definitely going to make more. At the moment another mix is in the make using samples from other songs and in the nearby future i'm also going to make my own production. I'm not asking for likes or subscribers but if you like it i would appreciate it if you click the button
Hope you like it

Jordan's Thread

So, it looks like I completely forgot to do this, oops.
I'm Jordan. I generally do the weekly (or semiweekly) news recaps for the XDA Portal, but I got my start on YouTube with my other channel, http://youtube.com/thisweekinlinux, where I talked about Linux news, created screencast-style tutorials, and reviewed Linux distributions.
I've recently relaunched my YouTube "career" by creating a new channel, http://youtube.com/twildottv, where I'll be talking about not only Linux, but Android, hardware, software, and just geeky topics in general. Feel free to subscribe if you like my content!
I'm around pretty regularly, so feel free to ask me whatever you like!
UPDATE: As of this past weekend, I'm also running a gaming channel on YouTube, http://youtube.com/twilplays, where I'll be doing gaming commentary on all sorts of different platforms, and hopefully doing some tabletop gaming videos as well in the future. Check that out, if you're interested!

Thanks so much! I'm definitely enjoying my time here at XDA, and learning a lot!

Love your videos bro, I actually watch them as soon as they come out. I appreciate the business-like approach and professionalism that comes with good recording equipment! I wasn't a big fan of the jackassery and all-around goofiness that was borderline pompous from previous hosts. You rock dude!

Thanks so much for your wonderful comments!
I actually liked the previous hosts as well. They were a large part of the reason I wanted to be a on XDA TV in the first place. I have to thank them for the foundation they helped build for the channel, and I hope that I can continue to do it justice in the coming days/weeks/months/whatever until people get tired of watching me.

You are one awsome host!!!! I have a little more info every time I watch your videos.........like the Molecular structure of Caffeine

Love your videos Jordan
I think we need some more from you on the XDA channel too, share the love to more viewers

Thanks so much, csoulr666 and Quinny899!
More on the XDA channel? What did you have in mind?

Maybe some of your personal device favorite apps, and tweaks, possibly favorite roms. I have a feeling not too many though, people may dislike the idea

Jordan - your videos on installing Arch Linux pretty much made me a full time linux user. Glad you're on-board with XDA!

Hey Jordan, you should also start singing again, I watch those videos, and they were amazing, so it would be great if you could start those again Also, I'm a young teen and I'd really appreciate it if you could check out my guide here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810282) and maybe give me some pointers? Thank you so much and keep up the exceptional work!

Thanks, Quinny! I was trying to upload it to the minecraft.net profile page, yes. Tried just a downloaded one from one of the referenced minecraft skins sites, and then one that I edited myself, and no dice either time. I also went through and did the migration to the Mojang account thing, and tried uploading afterward. No luck.
Definitely seems that the servers are just having issues. I'll try again later today and see if it works.

Jordan, since I see you are a linux guy, could you please do a video about NANDROID for the HTC Touch HD (WinMo phone) which is on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914723 ??
Maybe you could talk a little bit about the ROM and possibly help on our biggest problem to make this ROM a daily driver: Wifi. The problem is kernel related, and all functions work on the SD builds, which run by executing Handheld Reverse Engineering Tool (or HaRET). Of course, with a NAND ROM, we would boot up Linux right away!
I know it's Gingerbread only, and the kernel is only a .27, but everyone is waiting for a fully functional ROM for this device. Maybe later we could upgrade kernel and, who knows, maybe moving to ICS.
I'm not asking for a whole new video about this, just asking you to talk about it when you report the news (which I think is every week).
Thank you for reading,

[Q] Making a website for not for profit organization

One of my good friends who is a priest and a doctor is asking for a little help with creating a website for his nonprofit charity organization. Anyone have any recommendations of free / cheap website creation templates or hosts to look for creating something for him? I was looking at wix.com, but also want to see what my other options are, or if anyone has used any of these hosts. Also what kind of monthly / year costs are we looking at?
For those that are curious the basic charity is helping out AIDs / HIV children in Ghana Africa, which can be kept alive for about 40 cents a day.

Wordpress is probably the most popular website platform, and it's free.
http://wordpress.com/
It's touted as a blog platform, but I've seen many sites built with it and only a few of them were actually blogs. If you're just looking for a site with pretty much static information on it then it's apparently easy to use, but you can also use plugins to make the site more dynamic. It all depends what you need from it.
I'd recommend giving it a look and trying it out.

Correction
WordPress is divided into WordPress.com and WordPress.org
WordPress.com is for relatively new users. Your blog is hosted and managed by WordPress, but you do not have much freedom of customization since WordPress.com doesn't support plugins. Also, unless you buy a domain, your website will be www.yourwebsitename.wordpress.com
Wordpress.org is for slightly experienced users. This alternative requires you to find your own hosting, and install wordpress on it. However, the customization is nnear infinite with a lot of plugin options.
I recommend wordpress.org if you can set up hosting and want a more pleasing experience , and wordpress.com if you just focus on the content rather than the design

Thanks for that. That makes sense now it's been explained. I've clearly spent very little time looking at it myself!

sites.google.com for just basic info and files, but more advanced ucoz.com is good. You can create html or basic web pages, forums, chats, a comment system, a file cabinet, and organize and theme any way you want, along with pm's and rankings and site view statistics. and $30 a month (cheaper if bought for a year or so) you can remove ALL adds, custom domain, more storage and such. Once you understand it is easy to use. a bit of HTML for more advanced users, and plain text for newer people. a good example is http://communiteam.ucoz.com/, which I built in 45 minutes, but still seeing what else I want to add.
oh, and you can create privates forums and such, and a contact page where they can send the msg straight on the site to your email.

Weebly.com is awesome

tech start-up need help raising money- by simply watching short videos and voting!

Hi everybody. Me, my school, and a new start-up company called Froovie are working together to raise money. 60% will go to my school's digital media department, and 40% to the company. Also before I lose any ones interest all you have to do is watch a two minute video (or a couple of them) then vote on them, preferably mine. That's it. Heres the video I submitted: Mod edit: Link removed.
Here are the specifics to it:
The company:
Froovie is a new startup company that is focused on fundraiser for digital media classes, but can be used for other fundraisers also. It is currently in closed beta, and my school is using it and helping them fix the bugs because the founder knows our principal (private school). Basically you have people compete in a contest for a prize set by the school. Each contestant whether a group or individual will create a 2 minute video under the rules set by the school. They will then be able to share the video (as I am now) for people to vote. Each vote does cost $1, but you dont need unhealthy candy, or some product youll never use and can support a good cause. Each vote will then be split 60/40 profit between the nonprofit organiztion/school, and Froovie. Then whoever has the most votes gets whatever prize the organization the is using their services promised beforehand.
Why my school could use the money:
We are using the money to upgrade our media hardware and software. We have on Mac pro (I believe 2007) that works decent and only a few software generation behind, and then we have 8 10 year old Imacs where the best one is a dual core 1GHZ processor, 1GB of RAM, and 80 GB hard drive. We also have a go pro we just got, and a good sony camera. Obviously we cant do any video editing, and barely any photo editing on those computers. We are trying to upgrade the Mac Pro, and buy two new iMac 2012s (high end 21" version), and get adobe premiere pro on all of them, and use our own personal cameras. We currently do most of our editing on our home computers using about three different programs in our spare time, which is not that productive. Half the class has recently got premiere pro at home, or had it for the transition. We will use this hardware and software to put stuff in our newspaper, gazette, and yearbook for photography. Also for video we have a homeroom show we put out as often as we can about the latest stuff going around school, some comedy, and tips for the years, which is enjoyed by students and staff alike. We also do the videos for the jog a thon fundraiser which supports ALL school clubs, and several sports. We also make the videos for the homecoming and prom court, for rallies, and want to work on a promo video for the school. We also switched from loudspeaker announcements to daily video announcements on the school website. In the past we have also raised money for the school and got some of the seniors part time jobs by making commercials for local companies and such because we become proficient with our equipment.
what it does by voting for me:
It gives me, and the actors in my video the importunity to win a small scholarship if we win, and looks good on college applications (with a 98% college rate within a year after graduation we can create more stuff that colleges like). It will also allow us to make more videos and enter more contest when outside the class. Also as part of the prize I will be able to get these $70 dual turntables ive been wanting to get for djing as a summer job (I know several local big djs), and could possibly make free DJ mixes for anyone who votes and helps me get my career in media production and entertainment off the ground with the final pieces of hardware I need in class, and out of class.
How it benefits you:
besides helping out a good cause that helps us keep our class, provide people with better college transcripts,and possibly get a job in the future, you get to help a tech start-up get off the ground, and if we win get a free DJ mix! Some of us might even make some of your favorite youtube videos in the near future, and maybe be part of making your favorite big movie! You also get to make several dozen people's lives happier by watching a quick video and donating $1, or more (you choose how much, forgot to say that).
Other stuff that benefits us:
Others ways to help us even if you cant spend and extra $1 (which everyone has, even for someone you don't know who is a struggling student) is by reviewing our videos here and telling us what you think and how we can get better. We only had about two weeks to make these videos and edit them, and half of them are our first time editing! We have all filmed things, controlled lighting, and acted. But we have never had all of us edit or direct something by ourselves and either tell our friends what to do, or have other people in our class act for us. Another thing you can do is tell is if you find any bugs in the system, since I have direct contact with the founder, and some of their representatives. You can also tell us what new features the company can add to their site since we are basically an outside consultant!
Also if there is anything confusing, or anything I can make easier to understand please tell me. Also, if you don't want to vote for any of our videos, please tell us so we can make everything we do better as much as we can.​

TL;DR..
Self promotion, advertising, etc etc etc are not allowed....
It may be fir good cause, But its not allowed in xda AFAIK..
Please read the rules first...

Hello, I'm the "User Experience Admin" of XDA

Hey all!
My real name is Brandon Miniman, and you might have seen me on YouTube back in the day in Pocketnow videos. I live outside of Philadelphia, PA, and live with my wife and three kids (two girls and a boy), plus my puggle dog Ava.
I've used phones since the days of Windows Mobile phones (long live the HTC HD2 and Moto Q!). I currently use a Galaxy S21 Ultra and iPhone 12 mini.
Today, I'm part of the core leadership team at XDA where I spend my time overseeing operations (which includes working with mods, portal writers, and our technical team). Lately, since the upgrade from vBulletin to XenForo, I've been spending a lot of time working on a plan to grow the XDA community and make it the best place in the world to talk about phones. It's a tall order, and it's a bit complicated, so if you have any ideas or want to help, I'm all ears. My title is "user experience admin" because I'm the go-to guy for making the experience better on the site for users. That also means you can yell at me if you don't like something
You can follow me on Twitter if you care to: @brandonminiman. My DM box is always open if you have any questions or concerns about the site, or if you just want to say hi

Cheers Brandon!
