Egg, these videos are great!

But the link to "How to attach your Xara creations to a post in TalkGraphics" seems to be broken.

[Odat]

I could have sworn that I saw a tutorial from Egg about how he goes about creating tutorials for Xara (a 3 parter, as I recall). I can't for the life of me find it here or on YouTube, where I would have thought it would be. Anyone know where it is? Is it still around or was it removed?

P.S. Didn't this thread used to be sticky?

(Full of questions today!)

Hi Odat,

I think you are looking for the thread http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=28298 which is sticky.

I seem to recall that Egg did a video about how to make a video. I cannot find a link to it at this time.

[DGehman]

This should probably be broken out into a new thread, to catch the attention of people who have Xara skills and would like to pass them along via video tutorials.

Odat, if you're thinking of jumping in, don't miss this thread: http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=30332

That thread shows a way to get a free copy of a previous version of Techsmith's excellent Camtasia software. If Techsmith has ended the offer, you can get the free CamStudio, but the latter is less feature-rich.

But technology is not the real key - it's putting yourself in the viewer's shoes and presenting what that person needs, in an order that makes understanding easy.

Egg is really good at this. I, OTOH, have to ponder every which way, and still end up over-explaining some things and making hard-to-follow jumps with others. -

EDIT: not that I've done any Xara tutorials. My Xara skills are pre-beginner... I've done a few for Real-Draw Pro, on YouTube under user name DaveGmn

Thanks Egg for the tutorials. I´ve been through about a third of them, and they are quite helpful.

Odat, I think the tutorial on how to make a YouTube video is on Xaraone.

If you guys work through the 3-part layers tutorial, you get the added "mini" tutorial on what to do when you lose your yellow sticky notes in mid video

Just kidding Egg--keep up the great work!
