In this tutorial you’re going to learn how to use the Hahnel Captur Module Pro and all of its capabilities. Before we start, you should also have a Captur Remote Control set with a Transmitter that is put in Digital Channel Matching mode with at least one Receiver.

Your GoPro HERO3/3+/4 Black Action Camera is quite a capable camera. How you make the most of it for any type of movie to look perfect, depends on how you set it up. The secret here is to tap into the best quality the sensor and electronics are capable of.

Issues represent problems or setbacks within your project, while risks are events that could happen and disrupt the planning of your project. Merlin Project contains issue management and professional-grade risk management.
Merlin Project comes with a risk score system to enable you to evaluate the seriousness of a risk, its probability and impact.
In the previous article we covered the various ways to enrich your project activities with information, files, etc. In Part II we’ll cover every Attachment in detail. We’ll start with Checklists, Events, Files and Information. In Part III we’ll delve deeper into Issues and Risks.
Every project has issues and comes with risks. Just as often, you will find yourself in need of associating checklists, events or files with activities. Meet Attachments, a feature unique to Merlin Project. Attachments are management features that won’t change the duration or timing of a project, but that bear much needed information about an activity. Compare them to e-mail attachments in Apple Mail. In Merlin Project, they can be checklists, calendar events, files, risks and issues, and information. You can have Merlin Project show you these Attachments in a dynamic secondary View.
Merlin Project can be used as a free Microsoft Project Viewer application. Normally, you can’t read Microsoft Project files on the Mac, but with Merlin Project you can. Merlin Project, with all its project management features fully available, is the only app on the Mac that allows you to view Microsoft Project files. Alternatively, you can try out Merlin Project for 30 days and leave it on your system afterwards — it will automatically turn into read-only mode. And if you only want to view project files, both Microsoft Project and Merlin Project files, all you need to do is select “Use without License” in the Welcome screen.
A resource plan consists of a detailed schedule and the resources needed for each activity. Merlin Project has powerful and flexible resource management capabilities. Here is an explanation of how you manage, schedule and assign resources.
