Video Tools for Heart and Profit

Going on a vacation yields a lot of touching moments in stills and video. The digital age allows us to keep those memories fresh while honing profitable skills. Pinnacle, Adobe, Corel and Ulead have gone consumer-friendly. Every Tom, Jane and Harry can now wield a point and shoot video cam and ape the masters. Sony handycams and Aiptek are now priced so low -even less expensive than a Blackberry or top of the line Nokia.

Youtube gives you the power to go viral and is very friendly with Facebook, Twitter, Wordpress, Blogspot, Blogger and Digg sharing. In a click, you can post your video saving your time and creativity for another masterpiece.

And if you can't edit, there's always Camtasia to power up your laid-back powerpoints into a video to be proud of. At the tail-end is newbie Prezi, blessing to mind-mapping fans.

Video is most definitely the smarter way to get your message across.
