Software

 

There are four catagories of public computers in the HRC in terms of the software on the machine: scanning (2), video editing machines (3), music composition (4), and all the rest (17).

The majority of the computers in the HRC have the standard suite of applications. These include Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Firefox, Adobe reader, iTunes, and Quicktime. There are also specialized language apps such as Gramma4_OS X.

The two scanning machines have the Adobe suite, including Photoshop for editing images, Acrobat Pro for making pdf documents, OmniPage Pro for converting scanned text to editable text (ocr) and some helper applications.

The three machines in Gluttony, the midi-keyboard suite, have various music software plus the music composition application Finale. They do not have the standard suite. Note: Finale is a large complicated program. For the most part, you will not be expected to be able to help Finale users with their problems (unless you want to learn the software yourself).

Finally, the computers in the video editing suites have iMovie HD, iDVD, QuickTime Pro, HandBrake and MacTheRipper for editing and burning multimedia. At times during the semester there are numerous people needing these rooms and we want people to only use these rooms for digital editing.
