Digital Production Lab (formerly the Multimedia Lab) Overview
There are both PCs and MAC computers available for student use in the lab. Several of the computers are connected to a DVD/VHS unit with a monitor to assist in video uploading and editing.
AIFR Alverno Inferno Free Radio, the college's online radio station studio, is also housed in the digital production lab space, with programming content produced by the COMM 371 class and
Media Hub. You can listen anytime at aifr.alverno.edu.
Video Editing & Uploads
Moodle and LiveText uploads can be completed in our lab using our DVD/VHS playback units and video editing software. Appointments for video uploads can be made by calling 414-382-6170.

Currently only students enrolled in specific courses have access to the 3-D printer, but through the Media Hub's partnership with the various campus groups, several opportunities are offered for other students to utilize this exciting new technology as well.

Video Editing
Using one of the editing suites or iMac stations in the multimedia lab, students, faculty and staff can edit videos and produce a finished product on a DVD or in many other popular video file formats.
One-hour block appointments can be made over the phone through the Media Hub at 382-6170.
When coming to edit, make sure to bring all of your materials and be prepared with any text or music you would like to add. Having text written out, music preselected on a flash drive and knowing what portions of your video you would like to edit or remove will save you time and angst when it comes time to edit.
