Hey.

I mostly post here with questions...this post is for new Carrara users looking for more tutorials.

Mostly stuff you can do in under 10 minutes (youtube limit).

Thanks!

 Thanks for sharing!

A lot of very usefull tips! Thanks! :)

Glad to do it.

Finally, something that doesn't need stinking QuickTime and causes Firefox to go into the frozen tabs and white screen of death. :D (Not that some of the other video tuts were bad, but they just weren't all that usable for me.)

I'd be tempted to do a few similar for what little I have figured out, but things get lag-tastic when running on a single-core with a screen recorder writing to the HDD. The alternative would be to use my digital camera's video mode, but I suspect that quality would suffer too much.

Too bad kenmo didn't stick around here long enough, I'd point him at some of these. (Hopefully he still lurks on occasion and might find it anyways.)

Back again. Good stuff! Only problem is that on some vids the audio just isn't anywhere loud enough. Perhaps add some closed captions?

I found this while doing a quick google, and might help to do the job.

I'm half-deaf and don't have the loudest PC speakers, so annotations or CC would definitely be useful for the vids where I can't hear anything.

 Paul,

Yeah I looked at maybe adding closed caption on the finer points. I can do it in QT (sorry) before I upload.

But I'm such a hunt and peck typer...

No problem if you do it that way, just something about the way XP runs Quicktime on this computer that causes problems. (I feel Apple did a beta quality Quicktime for Windows and called it a wrap. It's like how Acrobat is for .pdf documents, but worse and with a bigger amount of data.) So for sites that host quicktime files without converting to a more PC friendly format, that's where the problems are. YouTube does a nice job of converting to a streaming .flv of some sort that doesn't have the Quicktime problems. That's why I'm happy to see this kind of material on YouTube.

I'd offer to caption, since I can do 45wpm and typing isn't a problem. But I turned up my speakers, moved the Youtube slider all the way up, and set my system volume to max. Still can't hear above a whisper. But it's only on some of your videos. On others, they're nice and loud. Any way you can check the mic-input levels on your screen recorder before you start? Usually you want to find where the clipping point is (it'll sound really bad and blown out and awful loud) and then knock it down from there to where it sounds clear. At least with loud and clear audio it's possible to move the slider down.

Don't let this feedback discourage you in any way. It's good stuff and I'd like to see more.

I know I have always had problems with QuickTime running for years now and on mutiple computers so I know it wasn't just one.

Yeah. the first few videos were a painful learning process. The initial videos were uploading at over 900 meg. I've got 'em down to 12 meg.

Not being a sound guy...I had my system set for noise reduction and auto input gain... thinking  "Oh. That must make the sound better."

I appreciate the offer ... there is an option for the video owners that allows for collaborative input. I'll send the link.

Same thing for me with WMV. They (Jobs and Gates) shake hands in public and as soon as they walk off stage they probably have each other in a headlock, cussing at each other.

I clicked on the Force Control video and was happy to see it's in YouTube HD... it's the first YouTube tutorial I've watched where you can clearly see everything on the screen. Usually in the older ones you can maybe vaguely make out what the text of the selection says. Now it's very clear. Good job!!! And thank you!!!

I was surprised about that too. I used to have a thing against flash video I take it all back.

Thank you for the tuts!
