OMG! Ubuntu!<p>Kdenlive is Adding One of Final Cut Pro’s Best Features</p><p>Removing backgrounds from video in Kdenlive, the free, open-source video editor for Linux, macOS and Windows, is about to get a whole lot easier. This “modern background removal tool” uses object masks to automatically cut out the subject of a video clip — no green screen required! Real-time background removal features are increasingly common in video conferencing/chat apps like Slack. They allow a user to replace their actual backdrop (like a messy kitchen) with an alternative image or, sometimes, even a video clip. Video editors often have similar needs: they want to ‘cut out’ an object, item, person, or whatever :sys_more_orange:<br><a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ai</span></a>/Ml <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/AppUpdates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppUpdates</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Kdenlive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Kdenlive</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/QtApps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>QtApps</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/VideoEditors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VideoEditors</span></a> </p><p>:sys_omgubuntu: <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/12/kdenlive-automatic-object-masking-feature" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/12/kdenli</span><span class="invisible">ve-automatic-object-masking-feature</span></a></p>
OMG! Ubuntu!<p>Calibre 7.2.1 Brings Read Aloud Fixes, New Audio Overlay</p><p>Calibre ebook manager, converter, and reader is out with a new update, and it adds an enticing sounding new feature. For a while now Calibre has offered a ‘read aloud’ feature that does exactly what you think it does: a computer voice reads the text of an ePUB book. Calibre 7.2.1 intros a “new tool to create an audio overlay in EPUB files for all text using the Read aloud facility”. This, it says, enables readers to listen with sentence tracking, and assign different voices to different parts of the book’s text. Interestingly, Calibre say using the new tool can :sys_more_orange:<br><a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/AppUpdates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppUpdates</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Calibre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Calibre</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Ebooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ebooks</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/QtApps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>QtApps</span></a> </p><p>:sys_omgubuntu: <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/11/calibre-7-2-1-brings-read-aloud-fixes-new-audio-overlay" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/11/calibr</span><span class="invisible">e-7-2-1-brings-read-aloud-fixes-new-audio-overlay</span></a></p>
