How about some instructional information for new people?

I'm sure many of you have seen this:
vBulletin Installation Video

While it would take a bit of work I think basic well done videos would add much good content to AA. When people ask the basic questions on other sites you could post up a helpful link to AA. A lot of people do not understand the basics.


I am going to do this on my site, host the videos on my server like a really high resolution youtube but with my site name in the url.

Thing is I no nothing about video hosting.


Input?

 

I did this with a freewebs site.

 

That was a superb video. With AA 2.0, video tutorials are definitely something I would love to start putting out and getting known for.

 

I actually just made a video tutorial in full HD on my Mac for fun. Again, I really like this idea.

 

Don't think they really need to be in HD. Standard resolutions should work well.

 

Want to share?

It needs to be clear and good resolution, I don't think 16:9 is required but it looks cool and adds a certain something.

Links?

Does anyone have any input on how to create a 'youtube like' sharing environment on a server? Or at least what search terms to use? I've been unsuccessful using 'video hosting' as a search term.

 

I am in favor of this suggestion, I myself own a (french) video tutorials forum

I didn't find the freewebs one, but that's the one I did for when Pisogaupdate was a wordpress blog. One of the people who were helping me did not know how to create a page.

 

That reminds me how much better the acp of wordpress was before

 

It WAS. T.T

 

Thanks!

That lead me to 'TipCam' video screen capture program, which lead me to download.com, which lead me to this page of programs to choose from:
Video Capture Software - Reviews and free downloads at Download.com

:thumbup:

 

I use captivate now, but I do not know how to use it x.x

utipu only problem is that you have Aero it will revert to basic style.

 

For screen recording I use Camtasia - it's great and very easy to use.

You can see a video I created with it here: How to post a thread - LineolatedParakeet.net

 

It appears Captivate is another Adobe ($$$) program.

'TipCam' appears to be made by utipu.com. I don't understand the word Aero in that context.

That is a $300 program from what I can tell, do you download the trial version, make video captures, then delete till the next time you need it?

 

It is indeed $299 but I have it at my employer's expense, as I often use it for tutorials for colleagues and such for our work programs and software. Some of it is general Excel spreadsheet work but a lot of people don't have the proper training; I do my best to help them in the most minimal form.

 

Aero= Windows Vista Style for Home premium up.It reverts to basic when using utipu. But I've used utipu MANY times, it's great.

 

Thank you for the clarification. I've been avoiding Vista like many other people




I edited my first post which started this thread to correct a spelling error (infornatioal vs informational). The thread title did not change, is that a vBSEO feature?

 

The editing of the thread title and the editing of the post are on separate timers. The former has expired while the latter is indefinite.

I fixed it for you though.

 

So if a normal member starts a thread, then goes back and edits the title of the first post, it does not change the title of the thread?

I just did that on vb.com and it seemed to change the thread title, but I edited that right away.


edited to add: you are correct! I waited a while, went back and changed the title of the first post, and the thread title did not change. I'm fairly sure that is a separate setting in the adminCP and that my people can edit thread titles for a long time.
