Re: How to Make a Transparent “Walk-on” Video, Part 2

Thank you for your explanation Richard. I have got the idea on creating an alpha channel video (I use Sony Vegas Pro 9) but still cant work out what is involved in converting that to a fllash video that regocnises the alpha channel and creates a transparent background flash file. I assume that is required to put it on the web.
Do you have any advice on that?
Cheers
Ian

Dave does a great job. I have been a fan of his for a couple of years.

I will look into Sony Vegas Movie Studio Prof Pro Pak. I wasn't aware of it. I tend to get stodgy with my software. If it works, and if I really know how to use it, I am reluctant to add complications. On the other hand, I try to keep an open mind.

Putting together DVD tutorials is something that takes great amounts of time and effort, but I would agree, it is effective. That is the way to learn most quickly. Someday, I will put together a tutorial package, but I don't have any dates set.

Another site that readers should investigate is VideoMarketingExpress.com. Lorraine Grula has an outstanding, reasonably priced, service that she provides to busy business people who don't have the time nor the expertise to create first quality videos. For a large number of people, this is the way to go.

Thank you so much, Richard, for this helpful tip on the freeware download! You may consider the Sony Vegas Movie Studio Prof Pro Pak for about $100, comes with Sound Forge and Limited Cinescore Edition. With Cinescore, you can create your own custom music tracks and it automatically matches the length of your video to the length of the sound track. I love it. I learned about Cinescore while involved with Dave Kaminski's Web Video University. Although I benefited some from Dave's monthly fee based site/training, I'd much rather have DVD tutorials from him that are there for me when I need them and when I am ready for that particular topic....and I've spoken with another Web Vid Univ student that agrees. Thank you for your site! Bill

Hi Richard.
I think you summed it up pretty well. They either purposely leave out info, or they assume you know stuff you do not know, or maybe they are just bad teachers. Teaching is actually a whole lot harder than people think it is. To create a product that people will view by themselves, with no one to ask questions of, and truly make it understandable for a wide variety of people at a wide variety of skill levels is pretty darn hard. I think most of the marketing "gurus" are not really up to that task although their egos tell them that they are. Then no doubt they get a lot of people kissing their butt and telling them that they are great even if they can not really teach their way out of a paper bag. IMHO.
Thanks.
Lorraine

I generally don't go by how many comments or the ranking. I have found so many great videos that are not ranked and are not commented on. It really depends on how harrow the niche is and who you are talking to. Many people may love a video or an article, but don't make comments.

I wish more people would make comments because it is a great way to interact with people of like minds.

I am not sure what you mean by "float" in the window. Perhaps you can explain further.

My website is designed to instruct and I don't sell a specific service along these lines. I feel the pain of many who are interested in doing transparent videos but don't have the time nor the luck to find the right components and training to produce their own.

By the way, there are some companies that I have partnered with that I make a small amount of money if you subscribe through my site. It is done more as a convenience, actually, than as a way to make gobs of money.

I don't have a product that I can point you to. That is why I have decided to do these videos to help people progress. (Perhaps, I will turn it into a product, but not yet.)

In my next video, I will show you the player I use and I will go through the details of putting a video on your page.

To my opinion it sure is a problem. Though, there is the viewers ranking that can be of help and often I look at it before I start watching. It's an important post, thanks.

Re: How to Make a Transparent “Walk-on” Video, Part 2

Chakafrak — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 15:52:19 -0000

Good overview. What settings do you use to have the video 'float' in the window?
Is your website designed to instruct or are you selling a service? Do you have a step-by-step instruction from videoing to coding and uploading flash files to the website? Or is this beyond the scope of your presentation? If so, do you recommend a program or product? Thanks!

what i'm really tired of are so called gurus who only give out bits and pieces of info , very rare that you will get the whole picture, so you end up buying more and more, going after the next shiny object ... so off I go to watch the video :-)

You are welcome. I know when I was trying to find out how to do a walk-on video, I couldn't find anyone who would give me the details. I have more to tell, but I haven't completed the last video yet.

Re: Did You Forget the Obvious Directories?

richardnday — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 11:59:15 -0000

Just before I posted the article, the free software was free. You are right. Now they are not free. Sorry about that. They are still good products.

As for the other links.
* Google Local --> local.google.com
* www.yellowpages.com
* YahooLocal.com --> local.yahoo.com in US
* Yahoo Yellow Pages --> yp.yahoo.com in United States
* www.superpages.com
* www.yellowbook.com
* www.atlantaataglance.com --> Google a big city near you
* www.your nearest big city.com (For me it was www.ashevillenc.com)
* www.big city chamber.org (For me, it was www.ashevillechamber.org.)

You will need to google them to find what they are called in the area where you live. They might not work outside the US.

They are important directories that you need to list yourself in.

Re: Did You Forget the Obvious Directories?

Diane — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 10:39:22 -0000

None of your links are correct. One doesn't even take me to what you say it does, the others you say are free products, aren't free.

Re: Why Does My Video Have an Orange Tint?

Have to admit that I've always wondered this. We recently started work on a short intro video for a website project and couldn't work out why we looked as though we'd been on a carrot-only diet.

Thanks for the help.

Re: Why Does My Video Have an Orange Tint?

lorrainegrula — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 18:43:06 -0000

Hi Richard

Just the other night, I was trying to make a video with my webcam. It was nighttime and so the only light was coming from incandescent bulb. (These are your normal room light bulbs, standard bulbs so to speak.)
I could not believe how orange the picture was! It was unusable. I waited until the next day and the room was filled with diffused light coming from the windows in addition to the same incandescent bulbs! The mixture actually produced a good color!
So here we have a web cam automatically white balanced for a mixture! I was amazed! There was no way on this little camera to adjust the white balance, the auto setting worked best under a mixture, which is smart really, Very practical. More real-world, probably.
Incandescent bulbs are very orange, even more orange than tungsten hallogen, which is what standard TV lights are.

Only a camera nerd like me would be facinated by this sort of thing, but hey, I yam what I yam and that's all I yam.

Popeye and Lorraine Grula

That's right. It needs to be a continuous color. Usually it is a blue screen or a green screen. The reason for a green screen is that you can chroma screen it out and not affect skin tones.

Therefore, you'd probably be better off if you use a green screen. It will work with people and anything else.
