David, Great job with the video! I think the pacing and speed of your demonstration are spot on. The only thing I would suggest is to change your script so to take out the longer pauses while you are waiting for the video to move on. Keep up the great work. I'm looking forward to seeing parts 2 and 3.

Potlatch 2 tutorial video: part 1 (rough cut) (davespod) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2011 15:07:29 -0800 (PST) From: davespod <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: [OSM-newbies] Potlatch 2 tutorial video: part 1 (rough cut) Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 The barrier to entry to OSM seems to be falling. Now we?ve got an awesome even easier-to-use online editor and hi-res imagery for much more of the world. We now need some basic tutorial videos to go with these. In the spirit of the do-ocracy, I?ve had a go at getting started. I?ve created a short tutorial video for adding POIs using Potlatch 2. I envisage this being part of a series of 3 short videos. I see parts 2 and 3 covering tracing ways from Bing, possibly adding ways to route relations, creating areas (closed ways) and a few remaining features. The aim is to keep each video under five minutes long (as I personally would not sit through an online tutorial any longer than that!). I?ve also aimed to make it reasonably easy to re-edit once P2 is the default editor. If they are popular, perhaps we could also add some GPS-related tutorials in the future. I haven?t yet attempted parts 2 and 3, because I thought I would get some feedback on the rough cut of part 1. Unfortunately, the sound quality is pretty poor due to my incompetent use of the audio settings, and I plan to re-record once I have some feedback (my intonation is a bit odd at times, too). I anticipate different people will have different views, so please don?t expect me to act on all suggestions (I?ll only act on the ones I think are a good idea!). So let me know what you think: http://www.vimeo.com/18559427 Cheers David (davespod) P.S. I?d consider releasing this CC0 to maximise worry-free re-editing and re-use. However, I?m slightly concerned there might be howls of anguish if OSM data is in a CC0 video. I suspect it would be fair use, as would using Bing imagery in the background, so more worried about the community reaction than the legality. -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Potlatch-2-tutorial-video-part-1-rough-c ut-tp6009943p6009943.html Sent from the Newbies mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies End of newbies Digest, Vol 48, Issue 4 ************************************** _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
