Hello everyone. I'm a newcomer to videoblogging, although I have blogged before, as part of the EMC Mediablog. I have now started my own blog called Viewpoint, and this is located at www.geocities.com/cityprod/. I am planning to do a video version of said blog as well. The videoblog aspect is

You can do Chromakey with any colour on the palette except for white and black, which don't key very well at all. Indeed, I remember that during the 1970s and 1980s, UK broadcasters would often use a dull shade of yellow as their key colour, and it worked perfectly well back then. Also. if

The funny thing is, most people I know think the watermark is a sign of ultimate commercialism. In other words, the budget has come first rather than quality concerns. So, I would prefer something that wasn't watermarked, as to my eyes, it would be a sign that they were actually trying to put

I have to admit, I've always struggled to do anything shorter than about 2-3 minutes. I can easily run to 10 minutes without any trouble. It will really be a challenge if I have to do a 60, 90 or 120 second video. Whatever the final time limit is, I will probably put a timer in the corner,
