Awesome! As usual, you take the "mystery" out of it and make it simple to do. Now, about the cost of the light kit...... ?

Oh yeah...let's not talk about that Tony.  

I had to save up some bucks for that stuff. One light source that some people may already have around are work lights. Don't point the work lights directly at the green screen or the talent. Take some cardboard and wrap aluminum foil over it point the worklight at the foil and reflect it on to the talent or screen. I advise anyone who doesn't have money for light sets to look up some of the guerilla lighting techniques on YouTube or ask around on the forums.

Graffiti jumps off the wall...literally! Watch this motion graffiti tutorial for Studio to make an awesome effect where your talent actually becomes a piece of art, graffiti, or a cartoon person. You can use this effect in several different ways as long as you use your imagination and keep your options open.

Excellent! You make it seem easy to work with green screen, explaining all along the way how to achieve the end result. Great work!

Hey Avid studio pro.  I see you use camtasia for your vid tuts.  As a long time Camstudio user, I just made the jump to Camtasia.  I am trying out the auto-zoom feature.  It is suppose to know when to zoom in based on where you click on the screen.  I find that it doesn't work very well.  Do you do your zooming manually?

You just turn the softness down on your chroma key and it just works.  WTF? I always have spill.  Do you have a green screen tutorial?

I found it.

Glad you found it. It really depends on what you do prior to putting your green screen shot into the editor. Usually just doing one or two things differently can make a huge difference when it is time to key your footage. if you set it up correctly you can usually make some minor adjustments to remove any spill or halos. Hope you found the Green Screen tut helpful.

Hey Eightysix86!

I'll just say this. The auto Pan and Zoom feature in Camtasia stinks to high heaven.

Sometimes it is accurrate but it hardly ever zooms when I would like it to or exactly to the size I want.

I always use the manual zoom function. I click on the first keyframe, select delete all keyframes from timeline, and then I watch the entire video and add call outs, graphics, button images, and pan and zooms manually. It does takes some time to do this, but you end up with a great looking tutorial when you are done.

I figured that might be the case.  I am curious to know how you use Camtasia, please check out another post I made.  I'm having a little difficulty.  http://forums.pinnaclesys.com/forums/thread/533800.aspx

Thanks bro! You are awesome! Love your tutorials!  Very helpful!

Hey Eightysix86 I replied to your post but just incase anyone else needs help with this I will post my reply here as well.

I use a few different things to be able to use the files in Avid Studio. I start off by choosing a custom size when I edit the call outs (1280 x 720). Then I created my own preset to save the produced files as a 1280 X 720 WMV file. This video will show you how to do it. It is the best video on YouTube on Camtasia settings, recording, etc.

We finally got a little bit of insight into what Corel's plans are for Pinnacle Studio and Avid Studio...we think!

Hello Vigor,

I do not have the same opinion than you... And I publish it here.

The future will tell us where is the truth, probably in both approach ?

I can respect that. I hope that Pinnacle survives as well. In the interview he never really mentioned Pinnacle at all. That could be a good thing (No news is good news???). Let's keep oyr fingers crossed for Pinnacle.

This Pinnacle Studio tutorial on the censor blur effect will show you how to blur out or cover up any part of a video you'd like. It is a simple effect that uses the title editor and keyframes. You can use it to censor a person, a license plate, or anything else.

That man has serious skills! Next question... how much was that?

Not sure how much he would have charged for that haircut, but I know he charges for designs by how long they take him to create.
