I've just put up my first video tutorial for SeaVue. Would you kindly take a gander and tell me if it's helpful or not and worthy of Vuers?

I'd appreciate any feedback.  I was thinking of doing a whole series on ways to use my products.

Thanks,

M

I couldn't get it to download. It said first "downloading from site" and then "done" and nothing appeared.

I have a DSL connection and it took 15 minutes to download but a little less than that to load up and play online.
Good tut! Although I don't have SeaVue I learned some new things. Looks good to me.

It's a Quicktime mov file 50mb.....it was the lowest mb count I could get. All the other formats were almost 300 mb or more.

I would rather it be streaming but I don't know how to do that. When I converted the avi file to flash it went up to almost 700 mb. And when I converted to Windows Media it was all blurry...

Any suggestions?

I used CamStudio to create it and AVS for converting it.

Paula: When I tried it, I got the same thing but then it came up after a few minutes. But I didn't see the usual Q for quicktime.

Great!  Very helpful on how to use SeaVue.  Looking forward to the rock product too. 

Thanks Monsoon, really appreciate this (and yes I have SeaVue).  FYI, when I clicked on the link the tut started playing after about 30 seconds, no option to download.  I was able to pull it out of my Temporary Internet files in order to save it.  Don't know if it makes any difference but I use Quicktime Lite rather than the full version of Quicktime.  Again, not a problem as I was able to get it. 

downloaded in 1min 28 secs...gotta love 10 meg cable connection, muahha! :p

WMV has a high compression format can't recall what that one is though, similar in compression amount to Quicktime H264 codec.
I used Ulead Video Studio 11.5 PRO, for video editing, PRO version is needed, has high compression, ordinary one doesn't.

thanks for the tutorial mate, they all help! :)
I'm not very good with terrains and ater so you and GeekAtPlay sure help.

I'd do more video tuts, but my Glaswegian accent is, er, not so universally comprehensible ;)

I waited for an hour and nothing happened,just had the thinking Q staring at me the whole time:P Would love to see your tutorials though. Always nice to see how artists intended there packages to be used:D

An awesome tutorial Monsoon!!!  Excellent info.

:)

Hey Paul....just right click the link above and 'save target as'. That works too.....Don't know why it works one time and not the next...boggle...:

Thanks for the feedback guys and gals....

 I also cannot d/l it.

I get the 'Q' for 5 minutes then a Q with a ? .

The size isn't a problem but mac/safari can't seem to access it to down load.

Took less than 2 minutes to download :)

Informative and well presented - will come in useful.

Sorry, can't help with suggestions of file size/format etc.  I just make pwetty pictures and products !  The odd tutorials that I do are archaic screenshots and Front Page :blushing:

 Tried a few more times and finally this last try it arrived immediately.
Whatever ... maybe the server was too busy earlier.
Thank you, I'm happy to have it and will watch it all through this eve.

As a side note- It's odd to hear a persons voice when for such a while they have just been a name .....

Just did Save As and it came up immediately and QT opened. I will look at it later, but it seems to work. Thanks for writing this.

D/l in less than 5 min. Looks really helpful - always easier for me to grasp if I see someone actually do it :)
Small suggestion - perhaps you can add a  good quality render at the end or as an additional file.
Thanks for the product and tutorial!

Monsoon,Great tutorial.I have had SeaVue in my library since you brought the product out and rarely used it.Watched your tutorial and I am now using it with gusto!
One question.Could your materials be used on an animated sea?It would be an interesting exercise.I might give it a go! Cheers

I plan on making a tut on each part of the kit and then a final one on making a finished render and postwork. I've gotten a different screencast tool so maybe the next one won't be problematic for anyone.

Arrow1...it would be interesting to find that out. I'm glad this was helpful...

Can some elements of Sea Vue work in Easel? I'm upgrading as soon as I can, but at the
moment, Easel was the only Vue I could afford. :)

 Thanks very much Monsoon!  Excellent tutorial.  It really helps to be able to watch and see what you're doing.  Also, I'm glad its download and not streaming - because I'll be able to see it again when I need to and I can quickly scroll to the spot of interest.

Look forward to the next one!

Content:
Fantastic!
Very helpful!!!
Bring on the "Rock Concert"!!!

Presentation:
Hard to read the items on the screen - icons and so forth.
Audio sounds good.
Pace is nice and fast - nothing worse than a lazy tutorial.

Excellent !!  Thanks for putting this tutorial together, it's very helpful.  Can't wait for the next one.  That rock collection looks like it's going to be awesome too!

Thanks for the great tutorial - very helpful and informative! Just bought SeaVue and it is a great set. Movie tutorials work well for me - they get me going and make it easy to use the product. Without a tutorial it might just sit on my hard drive.

I agree with John,I canot wait for that rock collection as Vues rocks are a bit hard at times to get right.The toot was really good.I really appreciate informality.Learning should after all be fun(; Keep em coming man,you got fans after all(;
