Well, the audio is ok. I think the video size is way too small, and blowing it up makes it hard to look at (fuzzy). I'd forward the site to a couple of Finale noobs that I know, but I think they would be at a loss trying to see what is going on, and then they would promptly either call or email me

Hi Everyone! Thanks for the great feedback. I can agree with the fact that the audio is a bit not so great. This was a student project that I finished up this year (I go to Berklee College of Music). And I'm actually looking for a grant from the school to get some funding so that I can buy some

I think you ought to make two encodes then. Or just a higher one. How many people really expect to watch a video over a slower connection? And a tutorial video at that? I personally, even though I have a high speed connection, would rather wait for something that is of quality to download than

Hi Matt, Good luck with this. RE: video size, what you actually need to do is to zoom in on the areas of interest so that people can see what you are doing. I looked at your Drum Hits video and it wasn't really possible to see what was going on on the actual staves. Plus, about 90% of

The video shots are a bit small and (sorry for saying that, I'm Italian) sometimes it's really hard to understand what's being said. The idea is great as well. Dick Hauser ha scritto: On Feb 19, 2008, at 9:27 PM, Matthew Voogt wrote: It is a website that is totally free and offers video

As for the video quality. I encoded at a rate that I thought would be ok for people with slow and fast connections. keeping in mind many people learning finale could possibly be on uni servers... and taht today bandwidth is r-e-a-l-l-y not the same issue it was even five years ago.

Yeah. We have toyed with that idea as well. All of our videos are recorded at extremely high quality so that is an option that we can come back to. And when people get the DVD's they get the high quality versions of course... not the web ones. On Feb 20, 2008, at 2:37 PM, shirling
