[videoblogging] 2nd Navlopomo chain...?

2009-10-22 Thread Rupert Howe
It's just been suggested to me that since some people have missed out, maybe we should start a 2nd calendar - have a second 'competing' chain. I reckon it could already be half filled with people who have missed out - maybe we'd have to seek out people to fill the remaining spaces. Or

Hi Frank, I've also thought about this a lot - and am trying to balance keeping it open while prompting involvement - again, I stress that I don't want to be 'in charge' of this. So I'm a little reluctant to defend the idea. But I do have an opinion about your argument - so here it is:

Rupert - I think your original idea is fine. You suggested a creative way to do navlopomo and people responded. Cool! If others want to do the same type of thing, nothings stopping them from starting a second calender ... Or better yet, doing 30 vids and showing us up bigtime :-) David On

For the record, the suggestion of a second calendar was my idea. I just thought others on the list who didnt get a slot might want to self-organize another group. Frank and david make compelling arguments why its not needed. Its always a balance between getting things moving and no one in-charge.

It's just a slightly easier way to keep track of things that happened that year. So if there are 3-4 years of navlopomo, and you search for that tag, you get everything. But if you search for navlopomo09, you would just find the stuff happening in 2009 (assuming eeryone used the tag). I'm

Hi Adam, If you're looking for hacks with existing OSX tools I can't help you but I'll offer this. Some time ago I upgraded from ishowu to iShowu HD ($29.95 and $59.95 versions) which has the ability to insert a small window in your screencast. Works pretty well but iShowU remains a

If you can't use PhotoBooth or QT because you only want to see the image of yourself, not the other controls, then I would record it separately and insert it in FCP on top of the screencast. Then you can crop out the edges, scale it, move it around, make it appear disappear, etc. On

If you record the QT video of you first, and play back it in the screen while you record the screencast (instead of recording your face simultaneously), you can get rid of the QT controls by going to Window Show Movie Properties Presentation Movie Controller Type: None Although I can't

Thanks for the suggestion Rupert (and Julian, Ryanne, David, etc), but I've found the Toggle Camera control in iShowU. It places a nice window in the upper right but seems to be lacking a bit in options...resizing, etc. Sincerely, Adam W. Warner http://LearnWebTools.com
