Utilised test equipment consisted of two video cameras, iPad, Mac-mini, two PC laptops and two desktops of various specifications. Free OSS were selected based on the possibility they could achieve the tasks. Testing occurred over a period of seven years. Critical analysis included OSS functionality mapping to the selected tasks and surrounding activities associated with media post-production. Instructional guidelines and their on-line links for the target audience were developed with the use of OSS VirtualDub, LongoMatch, Kinovea, VLC media player.
