3 – When the import finishes, save your file

4 – In the stage, select your video file (make sure that you are selecting the video file and not some other object)

5 – Open the actions window (goto the menu “window” and select “actions”

6 – In the actions panel paste the following code:

Elvis lives!

Me and “Elvis” by Trent CarliniElvis still lives in the heart of all those who like me admire the man and his music, but the closer you can get to what once was an Elvis live performance is in Las Vegas by the hand of Trent Carlini. As stated in USA Today “You won’t believe your eyes and ears.”

I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the show two weeks ago in the 7th March 2008 and I subscribe to what was said by USA Today, the physical resemblance and the voice are the closest you can get to Elvis, it seemed I was seeing the real Elvis and that was a dream that came true :-)

At the end of the show I had the opportunity to personally say thank you to Trent for doing it. Trent does the show everyday except Sundays, all of you Elvis fans out there… don’t miss this!

Trent, if you ever get to read this, thanks again man! You rock!

Trip to the United States

I will soon be posting some pictures and some information about my recent trip to San Francisco, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. The main purpose of this trip was to attend a conference at San Francisco Palace Hotel called “An Event Apart”, promoted by the famous Web 2.0 website “A list Apart“. Meanwhile since my first child was born recently, the job of being a full time dad has kept me from posting more often, but It’s a worthwhile task :-)

Global Big Brother

Today as many of you know, google has an online application at maps.google.com and a client side application with Google Earth and they both feature detailed pictures of the earth surface. What this brainshit refers to is what I belive to be the next step…

I believe that in a not too far future the earth will be not only photographed but also filmed, like the Deja Vu movie starring Denzel Washington. Some entities, not everybody because of security reasons such as terrorist operations will have access to real time and recorded detailed filming of all the earth surface starting by the main metropolitan areas around the globe.

This “Global Big Brother” will provide valuable information regarding criminal activities and other valuable information about social issues.

I remembered this because of the Maddie Macann case. With this kind of technology available, it will be a whole lot easier to deal with this kind of case. We would be able to see who took the little girl…

So, smile every time, you’ll never know when you’re on TV!
