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.

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.

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?

Karl Craig-West — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 09:42:12 -0000

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.

Hey Lorraine. Who's Popeye? Are you talking about the Popeye that ate spinach to build up his courage and expand his muscles?

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

Re: How to Make a Transparent Video Using Adobe After Effects

richardnday — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 11:21:39 -0000

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.

andy_r — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 05:30:47 -0000

Hi there,

So this is the only way of doing this i.e having a green (or i assume any coloured screen) behind the person as long as the person is not wearing that colour ??

For exmaple you couln't do it with an everyday background ??

Great video and thanks for any help.

Re: Properly Tagging Your Videos for Search Engines

billcobb — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 14:48:08 -0000

Richard, thank you so very much for your time invested in helping us understand the mystery of video tagging. I've always wondered what makes Google index a video with the image of the video to the left, while Google indexes other videos without that image. That image draws the searchers attention and figuring out that mystery can really help your site in terms of traffic. We do appreciate you so much! Bill

I am busy working on that video now. It will take a while since I want to make it easy. Making it look easy is harder to do.

Stay tuned...

Thanks for showing that but you didn't show how to actually overlay the video on a website. Can you do that?

Re: How to Make a Transparent Video Using Adobe After Effects

richardnday — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 19:12:36 -0000

I remember when I was trying to find out how they did it. I would have been very happy to come across a video like this. They are more plentiful now, of course.

I have been asked many times whether I would do the Adobe After Effects portion for people. I have regularly said no. However, that is such a big hurdle, I will entertain doing it for people for a fee. How much? I don't know. Let's talk.

Concerning Josh's product: It is the best. You can click on my link in the article if you need to get a copy for yourself.
