I have been working on some video tutorials and finally got one to where it looks decent. But then as you know when you post it on those video sites it gets shrunk down and it loses it luster and quality...So heres a test video..Using the download library
option in FF...Don't make fun of my voice it was a long week.. smile:D

Had look at your tutorial well done for me very informative I've actualy not downloaded that way and had wonder how you multi-selected. What are your other tutorial videos on? Keep them rolling I'm always interested in learning more as I'm sure alot of other people are. It is a shame you lose the gloss as you say, it would be nice to be able to read the writing.

You'll notice I even reframed from from making a joke out of your h-hhmmm voice smile:) smile:D

Really good smile8)

Great idea and all, unfortunately, even at 3/4 screen size, flash videos suck, and ya can't really read enough to teach anyone how to really modify/make filters too well eh. The voice isn't too bad, cut the highs around 10Khz, and boost around 100Hz, or better yet, run it through a pitch shifter -1 octave, and add a goodly amount of reverb for that monsta truck announcer voice, that and sample a Harley or a chainsaw for the background. smile:D

Yep hopefully I will keep them rolling. Trying to get the basics out of the way first.
There was the downloading one. Then most likely an overveiw type of thing for using the exsisting filters such as the presets and settings to using them with images and such..It seems like I would need to have those also for the people who purchase the basic version and can't edit the filters...But they can also come to the fourms for that info also.
Then the editing of exsisting filters then leads into the putting together filters.
Such as basic techniques to advanced techniques...
I do have an idea or two that I didn't try on that first one..So I will try it on the second one and if that works I most likly update the first one with it also... smile:) smile:) smile:loveff:

Yep flash videos do suck...I hope Adobe is listining..No offense by the way, just hoping the quality of flash video can get better...When its resized....
Yep what I'll have to do is some trickery when making the video..Is zooming and panning with the cursor so when the video is playing it will be close to the action..Then see the whole screen when needed...But we'll see how this goes...smile:)

If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!

Oh rite on! I'm a general fan and advocate of video tutorials (vidtuts), since good ones give you an excellent sense of "over-your-shoulder" learning. *checks it out*
I'm enjoying using Filter Forge to create http://torley.com/textures

Yep I do like the video tuts also. Got some more coming had to put them aside for the moment to focus on other things. But I'll be back at it..
Ya "Over the Shoulder" is right. But without the frustration of teaching someone who does not know how to turn on a computer... smile:)
