Hmm, maybe I shouldn't use the "Post Resource Update" for adding videos... But I just have so

How would you guys prefer to see these? As Resource Updates? Updating the add-on post? Update on my website?

Hope you enjoy the first one.

I think updating the add-on post, posting it in the thread, and on your site would have worked. Would have killed 3 birds with 1 stone... ie.... Help inform people on the sale and informed your current customers (those who maybe lost).

The UPDATE post should really only be used when there really is an update (in my opinion). But it's your release, so it is your call.

Update the addon post with LINKS to the video
Have a 'Have you seen' on your forum.

Awesome screencast
I have to ask, what are you using to capture your screen like that?

Thank you.

I have use of a license through my day job. It's turned out to be really useful.

We also have an Adobe Captivate license but don't know how it compares.

Agreed. Very useful and well done.
Add some narration audio and they'd be killer

I think it needs a female touch. Shelley, want to be my narrator?

Oooh, very nice
I'll have to check it out!

Oh my god, that would be amazing

Don't be bashful ! I probably dont want to hear you sing but I doubt your speaking voice is worthy of hiding. Regardless the videos are great.

We got an academic license (I work at a college) really cheap, about £100. It's about £240 retail though.

Aside from the recording being flawless, the editing capabilities are fantastic. One of the best bits I like is it uses the YouTube API, so to upload all I do is click Publish in the app, log in to YouTube and boom it uploads

 

[Sylar]

Very nice
Looking at purchasing it soon

Just curious (because your css gradient tips thread prompted and reminded me of this and I thought you would be doing the css3 gradient thing yourself) is will you be doing some css3 gradient notices?

I will be, absolutely. At present, I'm purely learning the notice system. I've only played with it once thus far, being the first notice I posted, nutting out any issues in the add-on first.

When time permits, I absolutely plan on playing around with custom solutions.

I've used both Camtasia and Captivate, and found Adobe to be the superior product in the end. Captivate has far more features for screen recording than Camtasia does, IMO.

Ah ok, I'll try that out too then.

Not sure what version we have access to, but I'll check it out at work tomorrow. Thank you.

+1 for Captivate; it's a great resource.

Not sure how feasible it is, but I narrate videos at work if you need anything similar done here* (although am male, last time I checked).

*Time permitting!

Very cool mod, I'm going to watch this for a little while then most likely buy it

Excellent to hear that

Just out of interest, what would make you buy it or not buy it at this stage?

Well to be honest I'd debating on adding another experience to the site right now. I'm going to think it over more and watch the demo again and see if it's really something we would find useful. I'm real bad about buying a "shiny" new mod, add it to my site then remove it a few months later because it's not being used. I'm trying to limit that

Also I'm not a huge fan of this type of browser experience. Similar to popup ads, mouse over ect..
Not to say they can't be implemented successfully, but just something for me to think over before making the purchase.

Fair enough, I wondered whether you were waiting it out to see if there's bugs, or new features being added or if there was any specific functionality you needed.

But - you're right - it's always good to take your time with these things

If there's any questions, please let me know
