Chapter 1 ■ the Different faCes of Java: Create a Java 9 Development Workstation
Download and install the latest version of Audacity, currently this is 2.1.3, and create the Quick Launch
Icon for your workstation Taskbar, as you did for InkScape and GIMP. Audacity 2.2.0 may be out by the time
you read this, and adds a new user interface design and lots of cool new digital audio editing, synthesis, and
sweetening features.
Next, you will install a professional, non-linear digital video editing and “color timing” (also known as
color correction) software package used for feature films, recently upgraded from version 12.5 to version 14,
called Black Magic Design DaVinci Resolve. This software packages used to cost thousands of dollars, just a
year or two ago!
Downloading and Installing DaVinci Resolve 14 for Digital Video
JavaFX 9 supports digital video, which utilizes “raster” pixel-based motion video technology. This represents
video as a sequence of frames, each of which contains a digital image based on an array of pixels. Digital
video assets are usually created with digital video editing and color timing software packages such as
AfterEffects and EditShare LightWorks. In this section, we will download and install the latest version of
an open source digital video editing software known as DaVinci Resolve 14. This package is available for
Windows 10, Mac OSX, and Ubuntu Linux, and other distributions. To find DaVinci Resolve, use Google
Search and type in DaVinci Resolve. Click the Download button as seen in Figure 1-18 in the middle, or
scroll to the bottom of the page, where you can click on the FREE DOWNLOAD button.
