Video Tutorial: Luxigons for creating and placing lights

[dwburman]

I put together a tutorial show to use luxigons to place a bunch of lights in a short amount of time. Enjoy.

Nice tutorial and hopefully many will pick up this neat technique. :)

Both links suffers from bad framerate. I wonder if it is the encoding that went wrong or if you recorded with a low framerate? The Youtube video also had a couple of minutes of black after the tutorial (and maybe the Vimeo link has that as well), which do suggest that I might be correct that the encoding went wrong somewhere?

Is there any way to download it for offline viewing.

If you:

a) use Firefox AND
b) have the extension Greasemonkey (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748) installed

you can c) get the YousableTubeFix (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/13333) script to make your YouTube look like the attached and have options to Download as: FLV, FLV HQ, MP4, MP4 HQ

B
PS. This Greasemonkey script also automatically chooses the best quality stream that YouTube has to show you.

I use Orbit Downloader for managing my downloads (great speads with the P2P boost) and it allows you to download flv files from webvideos.

Cheers

EDIT: AND BY THE WAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH dwburman :D

Great tutorial! Thanks Dana!

It's a powerful feature that's easy to miss if you weren't around when it was introduced.

The framerate problem may be part due to the screen capture program I used, it doesn't handle large screen movements well but it was free. I edited out some of the extra movements so you all don't have to put up with it too much. :)

Thanks for the heads-up on the extra black at the end. I'll have to take care of that.

[dwburman]

I trimmed the extra black off the video and uploaded it again.

I used Hypercam (http://www.hyperionics.com/) fom some screen video capture (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3sb_WHUeWU). It's nice. No problems so far.

Lagarith (http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html) codec its also nice for the capture.

And virtualdub (http://www.virtualdub.org/download.html) has been great tool to rapidly cut the video, resize, crop, audio swap and very very nice for final encoding. Better than opening a big fat application, imho.

Cheers

EDIT: by the way, i don't know why but i had no problem with the first youtube video.

[dwburman]

Thanks for the info. :)

I was using a Mac when I made the video. I did find some other (free) screen cap software. I edited (and did the voice-over) in Final Cut Pro.

On the PC I've used Windows Media Encoder to do screen capture in the past but it's good to have options.

Nice tutorial, thanks :).

Both videos deleted?

[dwburman]

Just new links.

I realized too late that vimeo lets you replace a video otherwise only the original YouTube link would be broken.

Great video, thanks for sharing it, :)
