The February 2012 Tutorial Discussion

Hi Gary,
thanks for the quick response...yes i did know about the download but I watch the online version first to see if there is a new item I don't know, if so then I download the pdf for future reference. I mentioned the narration but I would see if other members have same thoughts. I am getting old and slow....

Scotty—

Um, do you see any spring chicken in that video?

None of us is getting younger, not even Dick Clark anymore.

For the record, what I did differently than the last video tutorial is I did not edit out any pauses in the voice-over.

Still, I had a lot to cover and the silly thing is more than 10 minutes long, and even on a good day with an announcer on barbiturates—not everyone is going to hear every word, and that's why the PDF, the cc, and translations to come.

Good luck with Power director...I'm not sure but I think it can handle alpha channels and if not, I do know for a fact that you can chromakey out a Xara animation background if you use solid green or other solid key color.

Hi Gary,

Great tutorial. The pdf with the video comes in handy.

cheers,

Glad you like it, Jim, and I hope it might come to some use for you in the future, either professionally or just for personal fun.

When you mention that the PDF comes in handy, was it good for reference after the video, or because (once again) my delivery was too fast?

Just trying to refine and improve based on feedback,
