It’s Magisto!

It’s Magisto!

Magisto is a really clever clever collection of free Web 3.0 software that…

Drumroll…

Creates absolutely mind-blowing and professional looking videos from your best clips.

It’s easy, 1,2,3…to help make the web a better place.

Step 1

Go surfing, fishing, diving or even just a road trip.

Step 2

Do your best to take short beautiful and interesting video clips with your phone (Apple and Android btw, not sure ’bout Windows). Check out the rule of thirds. Get creative. Faces. Action. Humour. Start with a few wide shots. Get the action closer and closer. Interesting stuff. Move back out to close off. No long shaky boring anythings!

Step 3

Download Magisto and follow their super friendly Wizard. Choose your best clips (there is a limit but I used 9 clips in my first successful render)

People don’t have time for long anythings. At a point in the Magisto Wizard journey, you have the option to choose how long your video is. There is a 15 second Instagram preset that totally rocks. Then do the 1 minute mix for Youtube and your website. Oh ya, and FB etc…

The software actually is so clever that it renders the final mix online and in the cloud. And. Once it’s done (takes a while), share it straight to Youtube or wherever you want it!

Now that’s gonna make things easier for everyone, including me. The final mix seems to be in chronographic order, so it is all very suited to short little documentaries of what just happened.

Check out these recent stories psychedelically rendered by the magic of Magisto.

Ebay on fire!

Jbay on fire!

It’s free, but they tail every production with their branding. Fair play, and there is an option to upgrade and pay, and have even more control and abilities (be even more clever), sans branding.

Submitted by: Sean Lange

Report:

Mias in Benoni, Midrand and Woodmead are all now official stockists of the new Mydo Fishing Lures Original and the Generation II range.

The Mias group have been around as long as the tackle industry and each store has amassed a serious amount of stock. Their many years in the industry are apparent as the Mias stores are always busy. Everyone seems to know everyone everywhere?!

The accompanying photos and map are of the Woodmead store, we will map the others soon as…

Sports ‘n All in Port Alfred are officially stocked with the Mydo Luck Shot range. These lures are suited to these waters, where kob and garrick abound.

The Luck Shot Mini’s are for big casts and erratic retrieves. They mimic a wounded fleeing baitfish. The two sizes, one for estuary, and the other # 2 for the surf, can also be used to cast to baitfish, mackerel or tuna.

The Luck Shot can be trolled, jigged or fished on the bottom. Their ‘weedless’ hook positioning makes it great for dragging a drift across a reef. They also sit tight in the wake at higher speeds, so marlin anglers can pull konas and all the while be in line for a high speed yellowfin to swim as live bait. They come in three sizes, #2, #3 and #4. There is also a monster #4.5 in the oven, coming soon with a 10 inch plastic from McArthy.

The single hooks hook ’em right in the corner of the mouth and so can go back healthy, and you get to really pull during the fight as the big reliable single hook won’t pull out like the trebles of other trolling lures.
