videos posted from class last week

Did anyone from vismasters post the videos from the free classes like onyx trees, walls ? I thought someone said it was going to be online this week but i have not been able to locate it. I was just wanting to watch the onyx tree video since i missed it.

Ok, now how to we SAVE them? I dont want to have to hop to the Viz Insider site and go to an html file that auto-opens Windows Media Player with no link contained if I don't have to. This requires constant internet access.

My thoughts exactly. I was going to use camtasia to capture it but seems kind of crazy when there should be a way to just save the file. I like to put these on my ipod to watch later..

What browser are you using? The script should prompt you to download the file to your desktop. If that's not happening, try a different browser. Alternately, if it is for some reason downloading and then streaming to WMP. Just let the entire video download and then save it to your desktop from WMP.

 

On the ipod end, it does not make a lot of sense to even offer that format as you would not be able to see anything properly. If you want to try to reformat, power to ya. We could not get this GoToMeeting Codec to read properly without corruption or crashing in any linear editor.

i have to reiterate that we tried until we were blue in the face to edit this video. we tried dozens of different ways and absolutely nothing would work. i even tried to record the screen with camtasia while the video was running and all i got back was black. when they say proprietary, they really mean it.

 

if anybody can figure out a way to edit these, i would love to know, because unfortunately, the q & a session is a little boring because of all the dead air when people who had their hands raised didnt (or for whatever reason) couldnt speak. it would be nice to cut out this dead air

Got it to work after using IE. Thanks for the tuts guys. The ONYX one was a key one I missed.

Brian and Jeff,

 

After downloading these today I was able to import the Onyx tree video into Sony Vegas. I just did a simple split then rendered as wmv successfully. I only tried at 320x240 for time's sake, but it did it.

First, excellent work on the webcast. I was able to view live the first two, and found good stuff to be had. Vid quality, hook up, sound, etc. all solid from here.

 

Second, I employed the demo Camtasia, it worked perfectly for me. You have to marque the monitor area, maybe that was why you only had black? In any event, once I ceased that operation, I was able to "produce" (I think that was the Camtasia term for render" to a variety of output successfully.

 

If need be, I have these downloaded now and could run them through Premiere and resubmit if you like, just say the word, least I could do.

 

btw, Firefox will que the video in WMP, and as Jeff noted, you can save from there. Never tried IE. Maybe just wrap that in a .zip file next time.

 

Thanks again, this was fabulous and I appreciate your time & effort to put this together.

 

Next? Same deal with Mental Ray. That would be nice.

i know camtasia really well and tried everything i could think of. seems strange that you got it to work so easy when jeff and i couldnt. wonder how that could be. if you could run them through premiere i would greatly appreciate it. just want to edit out that dead air. i hate not being able to edit that out. also, i dont think 1680x1050 is the best resolution, i think 1280 across would be the best for most viewers. could you do that please?

i vote for standing in front of the monitor with a video camera hand and rip it to an uncompressed AVI.

 

...i have worked with people before who print out an autocad drawing or a jpeg, and then user the scanner to create a PDF of it, because all they wanted was it in PDF format. the sound you heard was me slapping my forehead in astonishment.
