Open-source software, such as GIMP and OpenShot, have grown in popularity due to their availability, affordability, and flexibility. These are generally free, community developed software, which gives users greater control of their tools. GIMP is a popular open-source application used among graphic designers, photographers, and visual artists, whereas OpenShot Video Editor software provides a more affordable solution with features such as timeline editing and video effects. Also, Web 2.0 technologies such as YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter have transformed both the creation and sharing of content. In addition to coding algorithms and hardware, it is now possible to produce virtual and augmented environments to create sensory experiences beyond in 3D. Open source software provides powerful and flexible tools for creating, modifying, and sharing multimedia content. | ## Course Outcome: After Completion of the Course, Student will able to: | No | Course Outcomes | RBT Level | |------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------| | 01 | Identify basic multimedia features and applications. | Understand | | 02 | Demonstrate various photo editing techniques to enhance visual effects of the image. | Apply | | 03 | Create, edit videos and animate geometrical objects by applying different animation principles. | Apply | | 04 | Examine the unique characteristics of social media sharing with their impact and cloud-assisted multimedia computing with content sharing | Apply | | 05 | Describe working of augmented reality and virtual reality system. | Understand | *Revised Bloom's Taxonomy (RBT) ## GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY ## Program Name: Diploma in Engineering ## Level: Diploma Branch: Diploma Computer Engineering / Computer Science and Engineering Subject Code : DI04000051 Subject Name : Multimedia Technologies ## Teaching and Examination Scheme: | Teaching Scheme (in Hours) | Teaching Scheme (in Hours) | Teaching Scheme (in Hours) | Total Credits L+T+ (PR/2) | Assessment Pattern and Marks | Assessment Pattern and Marks | Assessment Pattern and Marks | Assessment Pattern and Marks | Total | |-------------------------------|-------------------------------|-------------------------------|------------------------------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|---------| | L | T | PR | | Theory | Theory | Tutorial / Practical | Tutorial / Practical | Marks | | | | | C | ESE (E) | PA (M) | PA (I) | ESE (V) | | | 3 | 0 | 2 | 4 | 70 | 30 | 20 | 30 | 150 | ## Course Content: | Unit No. | Content | No. of Hours | % of Weightage | |-------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------|-------------------| | 1 | Fundamentals of Multimedia: What is multimedia?

After that, combine multiple images using layers to create a single final composition. 4. Open a photo of yourself with a natural background and evaluate it for issues such as brightness, contrast, and sharpness. Use various editing tools to enhance the image, including adjustments for brightness-contrast, levels, curves, and hue-saturation. Apply filters like NL Filter and Unsharp Mask, and use corrective tools such as Red Eye Reduction, Dodge Brush, Burn Brush, Smudge Brush, and Healing Brush to improve the overall quality of the image. 5. Enhance a low-resolution image using AI to improve its clarity and share the enhanced version online. 6. Remove the background from an image using AI and place the subject on a new background for a social media post. 7. Remove unwanted objects from a photo using AI and save the corrected image for a presentation or online sharing. 8. Install and setup any open-source tool for video Editing like OpenShot. Create a video of simple slideshow with images and background music. 9. Apply various audio and video effect on imported video. Also give a title in a video using appropriate tool. 10. Track a moving object in a video using AI and attach text or graphics to follow the motion throughout the clip. 11. Detect specific objects in a video using AI and highlight or isolate them. 12. Reduce shaky footage using AI stabilization and produce a smooth video. 13. Create a short inspirational story and present it using animation. Use characters, background scenes, and movements to effectively convey the message of the story. 14. Upload video on YouTube and explore its meta data. Also discuss the key differences between YouTube videos and the traditional movies / TV shows. How would they affect content distribution? Prepare comparison chart for that.
