2 Upcoming videos

As you may have seen from my previous post, my next video will be a features walkthrough of Microsoft Office 2007, specifically, Word. This is because I have recently installed the full version of Home and Student and wish to explain some of the main features and differences. After that one, I will begin work on my first Ubuntu tutorial, installing with Wubi. The reason I haven't done an Ubuntu video sooner is simply because I have had Internet connectivity issues. The Office video will be coming in February sometime.
Also, a new animal will be introduced in February and we will have to say a said farewell to the hamster.
For now,
Yours,

Video: An Overview Of Pivot Stick Figure Animator

The surprise video that I was talking about has been released. It has now a title sequence along with title music. I forgot to add the watermark to the video, but will do in the upcoming ones. The title sequence in this is in the Beta stages, and I am to finalise it and add the finished title sequence to the next video along with the watermark.
Well here it is...



Notes: Download Pivot From The Pivot Website.

Download the *.zip and use the installer when required. You can add figures by going to File-> Load Figure Type. You can make figures by going to File-> Create Figure Type. Click on a circle to move that part. Hit enter to register a frame.

News: The next video will be a small coverage of Microsoft Office 2007

An important announcement

The fore coming video that I am producing (secret surprise video) is going to be a very simple overview of the software. Therefore, the use of the microphone will not be until the video afterward, though I have not yet decided on what that will be…

For now

Video: Make Your Own Mouse Cursor

It's here, the video Make Your Own Mouse Cursor is available for your viewing pleasure.
Unfortunately, I have had sound problems so the music has been removed.
Well, here it is anyway.



Video Notes: Download GIMP Image Editor from http://gimp.org
Install it
Make a new image
Draw your cursor
Click colours, New alpha Colour
Make the background transparent (See above)
Save as a *.ico
Rename in Windows Explorer as *.cur
Go into Mouse Configuration and browse for your cursor.

The next video will be... Wait, that's a surprise isn't it? Almost told you, but that would, of course, spoil it. There will be no posts until the release of the video, though comments and e-mails will, as usual, be replied to.

For now,
Yours,

New Video Coming Up

I have newly gotten my laptop, with everything installed and have just recently finished making the Make Your Own Mouse Cursor video. Camtasia Studio is much better than Windows Movie Maker. I will begin using the microphone for the narration of my videos as of the video after Make Your Own Mouse Cursor. The Make Your Own Mouse cursor video will be released today for your customizing needs. I have also decided what the video after will be, but it is a surprise for now. By the way, I am in needing of a program which will allow me to make an opening sequence for the upcoming videos, if anyone could direct me to such program, I would be very grateful. Thanks.

For now,
Yours,
