Linux Voice Introduction

Article from Issue 286/2024

This month in Linux Voice and Elvie.

Video recording has gotten unbelievably easy. Those who remember the size and clunkiness of old-school video equipment would say that nothing feels more like living on the Jetson's set than pulling a phone from your pocket and make a movie on the fly, complete with sound and a strikingly clear (if not high-res) image. We love our videos – but they do tend to pile up, in old directories, on cloud accounts…. How do you find the one you're looking for? The simplest and easiest way to tame that teeming collection is through thoughtful use of metadata to facilitate smarter searches. We study the possibilities of video metadata in this month's Linux Voice. Also, we talk to KDE developer Nate Graham about the latest KDE Human Interface Guidelines.
