- Test glxgears to make sure graphics card works.

The Video Editing Studio (x718) has two machines: a Mac with Final Cut software, and a Windows machine with Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 software. Most of the equipment in x718 is actually owned by ICICS, purchased through a CFI award. It is available to everyone in Imager (and to others). This is a shared resource, for all ICICS researchers and their students. Fob access to the Video Editing Studio can be obtained through Ron Fussell. The Video Editing Studio should be reserved online at http://www.icics.ubc.ca/reserve-a-lab/.
