Idea - how about recording a video of setting up the big 3 ?

I have to say i like the idea of downloading a tutorial in this format, at least for the more involved procedures like The Big 3. I'd like to help but I don't consider myself proficient enough to be able to direct others. Like you say, if one could be put together as a trial, it would at least show if there was any kind of demand. Cheers, Beastie. EDIT: Is it possible to download a free version for viewing only, or would it require everyone to purchase a copy of the software?

Camtasia records to avi, so at worst you'd have to download a codec to view the files. Personally I doubt the value of this, I like good old fashioned html guides myself, provided they are sufficiently detailed of course. Not in the least bit interested in sitting through a video.

Given the complexities and variations of all different kinds of projects, making videos is just make the matter worse as it's not even gonna be able to cover as much as the static html version, and it's gonna be a pain to maintain.

i think trilight already uses that for his 'insomnia guide using doitfast4u'.

Hi Ya @Eyes Only : Hmmm , well it seems great minds do indeed think alike. I had no idea , so it seems i am preaching to the (semi) converted. Will have to go check it out. As an aside i have been studying the big 3 ALL WEEKEND and am ready to attempt my first go at it ( if my new Plex ever arrives)and so i now think about a video on it " hmm i'm a bit passed that now" and can see where most of you are at on tis within this community. BUt i still think it would be a great resource for total new comers. anway ............ Mark

well, it would end up varying by title... setting up the tools themselves is pretty basic.. reauthoring the project is what ppl have the most problem with. that is when knowing how to use the tools that you have come in handy and you only get that by experience. i don't think a video would be very helpful. :( my $0.02

i think a walk thru with a program like WINK would be great... its a tutorial but its showing you the program and that to do directly... with text boxes that you can add. the Mouse is a moveable object. and its bacisly screenshots that motion tween the mouse around. it uses flash so it fast and free. ITS FREE! :)
