Best Video Training Series For Photoshop

I am looking for a good video training series for Photoshop.
I learn much quicker when using video, but I need step-by-step instructions.
Needless to say, Photoshop is feature-rich and a bit intimidating.
Any ideas?

What have you tried so far? What is your budget? Are you looking for free or paid (often better quality)?

Best PC to buy for Photoshop CS5, Premiere Elements and Proshow Producer

I am looking for a new PC to replace my 10 year old one.
This would be used primarily for Photoshop CS5, Lightroom, Premiere Elements and Proshow Producer.
I am thinking of going to Digital Storm to get one of their top line gaming machines with Sandybridge cpu, high end video card and at least 16 to 32 gb Ram
(although I do not play games on the pc}.
Is this overkill, or would a different kind of PC be better?
what do you recommend?

I'm definitely going to look into it. Thanks. Have a great holiday.

Dell Precisions are great machines, you could look into their Studio or Studio XPS too. Not quite workstation qualtiy but I'm beating the snot outta one @home and it's holding up well for a 600 buck eBay chassis...

Re: Apple Pro training series for FCPX -

APPLE PRO TRAINING SERIES FOR Final Cut Pro X. Diana Weynard - cannot download requirements from disk - error code -36 appears after about 30 minutes of download time. Mac Book Pro running OS 10.6.8
I am also using the trial version of FCPX.

You should contact Peachpit about this.
cannot download requirements from disk
Not sure what this means. Do you mean you can't copy from the accompanying disc? In which case the disc might be defective and you should return it to the reseller. At least that's the usual procedure for this.

Best video capture tool for Panasonic AG-DVX100A

I'm trying to decide on the best video capture/ media converter tool for my Panasonic AG-DVX100A. The choice is between the Grass Valley ADVC 110 Media Converter and the BlackMagic Design Video Device for Mac OS10. Has anyone used either/both of these. What advantages do each have over the other? Thanks for your time and advice.

Hi -
The Grass Valley ADVC 110 Media Converter requirers firewire.
I have and use the Blackmagic Video recorder which is USB based -
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/558914-REG/BlackmagicDesign_VIDREC_Video_Recorder_USBCapture.html
BUT it converts the video to H.264 format which is a very difficult format to edit in. It is primarily designed to allow you to load video on to your computer for viewing, posting to you tube, or other very simple uses.
If you intend to edit these files with iMovie, you might be able to get away with it (although importing the files will be slow), if you plan to edit with Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro you will need to convert them to an editable format.
You might look at taking your camera somewhere to a facility that can properly capture the DV material on your Mini-DV tapes and put them on an external hard disk for you.
Then you could plug in that disk on your computer and obtain access to the files that way.
Hope this helps.

Best video Hardware/software for converting VHS DVD and others on Mac?

Hello,
I am having problems finding some much needed details on what the best software/hardware is for converting video formats on a Mac. I should note I am using a NEW iMac 4GB memory and Leopard OS so what I use needs to be compatible. Perhaps next year I will get a Mac Pro, but for now I'm using this setup. Here's is what I need to do:
1. Transfer old VHS tapes (home movies and such) to DVD. I need to be able to use DL DVD discs for my recordings so I don't have to switch DVDs. In other words make them just like the DVDs you play that you buy. Therefore, they also must be able to playback in home theater DVD players, not just on the computer. I would assume the best way as for encoding is to get the VHS tape in digital format on the hard drive, then use the codecs to turn them into DVDs?
2. Once on the hard drive I also need to convert them to a format neutral playback on both the Mac and PC. What is the best, MPEG 4?
3. The ability to do some nice editing of making bookmarks, chapters and thumbnails for the DVD menu and divisions I wish to make. In other words, if I have a home movie containing my Summer and Winter vacation, I want to insert bookmarks at points to skip to like in a movie DVD and also have a thumbnail of it just like DVD movies does.
4. A nice MAIN menu for the DVD that will let me hit the main categories, not just chapters for the TOP level DVD menu. Such as Summer Vacation, Winter vacation.
5. The software should be easy to use so I don't have to take a HUGE crash course requiring lots of work making the project a chore. Also, I don't want or need a professional package, just something simple that is less than $200 per software program. Not the expensive $500+ software options for movie makers.
Thank you for any tips and advice on this matter.

"Best software/hardware" depends on your exact needs & wants.
One simple way to transfer your VHS tapes to DVD is with a *DVD Recorder*. Many of these come with VHS and DVD decks already built in. Insert your VHS tape, a blank DVD, hit record and off it goes. When finished, you have a playable DVD.
To transfer your VHS tapes to DV for editing you will need a converter. The *Canopus ADVC-110* is a very nice, relatively inexpensive device that will do that job for you. (It's also possible to use most modern DV camcorders as converters, too.) You would connect your VHS deck to the Canopus box via their analog video & audio connections, then connect the Canopus box via FW to your Mac, and then when you play the VHS tape you would capture the video in iMovie or FCE.
Once your videos are captured on your Mac, you could use iMovie or *Final Cut Express* to do whatever editing you might want to do. Regardless of which one you edit with, however, it's iDVD that you would use to create your DVD menus and burn your DVDs.
So, overall, the workflow would be like this: *VHS Deck > Converter (camcorder or converter box) > Capture on Mac (iMovie or FCE) > Editing application (iMovie or FCE) > iDVD > DVD*
For playback on computers MPEG4 would be an ok choice, H.264 is probably a better choice, and then there's the matter of whether or not you want to export as a QuickTime movie and/or AVI.
iLife came with your Mac, so you already have iMovie and iDVD. How about giving them a try before you consider investing in a significantly more sophisticated application like Final Cut Express. (just my opinion)

How do I get the training videos to work for photoshop elements 11

How do I get the training videos to run so that I may learn how to use photoshop elements 11?

Just go to tv.adobe.com and you can watch them there. It's much simpler than trying to hassle around with the problems with installing AIR and so on.

What is the best video editing software for Mac?

I am trying to edit videos, specifically .wmv and .mpg files to put in PowerPoint presentations. What is the best software for cropping movies as well as cutting different scenes out of video (i.e. making a 2 minute video into a 30 second video). Thanks so much for the help.

iMovie will not edit WVM nor MPEG-1. You would need to convert the movies to one of the formats iMovie can accept before you could edit them. If you will need the movies to remain or end up in WMV or MPEG-1, I'd suggest looking to a different editor. StreamClip might work for just doing basic editing:

To edit WMV you'll need the paid Flip4Mac plugin from Telestream:

Best Video File Type For iTunes and Xbox360

I have an extensive digital library and I am trying to have one file for all devices.
What I am looking to do is to have one file that can be managed by iTunes, play on my iPhone and stream to my xbox360 via Connect360 and look good. File size is not a concern. I dont want to do multiple encodes.
The important features are one file playable by iPhone and Xbox360 via Connect360 that can be managed by iTunes. I would like the video to be of very high visual / audio quality.
I use handbrake to convert video files.
My question is, what is the best file type for this scenario? I have used mv4 but more recently I am using MP4 with 264...
Again, one file to rule them all....
Thank you in advance!

Old thread for others, but,,... It isnt necessary to convert a bunch of files, if you have Plex on your pc, and on your iphone/ipad.
I would have spent a month converting the terra bytes of all the video files that I had but i just airplay and my Plex app to send nearly any type of file on my Imac directly to my Apple tv.
It converts on the fly any file that isnt supported.

Best Mac Pro Setup for Photoshop CS5

I've read around that it's not needed to have the fastest (and costliest) Mac Pro to run Photoshop CS5 at it's best.
However, there doesn't seem to exist any discussions involving the latest models (Feb 2012).
Which would be the optimal Mac Pro available today for running large files (1GB and up) in Photoshop CS5?

LOTs of RAM, fast 6-core 3.33GHz for starters.

Best video conversion app for 2009 mac pro?

hi, i just bought a 2009 2.66ghz quad-core mac pro, and as i have 4 cores (or 8 virtual cores with HT), i wanted some video conversion app that really uses the 8 cores. Can someone suggest me what app is the best for multicore?
thanks!!

For multicores I have no idea, (even though I have a Pro), I don't think many of the apps made are written to take advantage of multicore computers. That said you've not mentioned any formats that you really need it to handle so any suggestions made may be a little hit and miss.
The two I use are Handbrake and Visual Hub.

What's the best video/audio format for PPCS4?

Question looks like a simple and stupid one, but I've noticed many differences using various kind of file extensions.
For example when you have to put an effect.
Mercalli is very performing if the effect is applied to an .avi file instead of a native .mpeg file taken from my Sony HDR-SR videocam.
So the question is:
If I have to change the video file format, what is the best one (or one of the best) I can use?
Avi, we know, is an uncompressed (and eavy) one, but, if you have 700/800 file to edit, maybe PP could go slowly. Am I wrong?
Of course I have tried using the same video strip differently converted.
Wait helps.
Many thanks,
Ciao
Giorgio

Re-thanks Harm,
I know about .ac3 audio problems, I've posted a discussion time ago concerning this trouble.
But now I'm mainly looking for a video format.
Example:
clips in native video compression are 'round 25Mb each
converted in .avi file can reach 630 Mb
Honestly I'll fill my entire pc with a format like this.
What I'm asking is a suggested kind of file that can easily work with PP and if you know a sw that do it.
I have Tmpge but I do not know how to set it for the best results (unless I just set AVI output with the problem mentioned above).
I've read on the forum that DV AVI could be a good chance but which good sw can give me this files?
Ciao

What is the best video format/size for the iPad Air?

What's the best video presentation app for ipad

Here's what i want to do. Create a series of videos. (50-100) I want to sync my iPad to a TV. I want to set up a playlist with several of the videos. I'd want the videos to play back to back and have the option to pause the entire presentation whenever I want. It would be great if I could edit the playlist on-the-fly, while a video is playing, and without the audience seeing what I'm doing. All they see is the video being played at all times. Anything like that out there?

There are a number available in the app store, at a variety of price points (Documents, Documents to Go, OnLive, etc.). But none will be anywhere near as full featured as MS Word for Windows or Mac, so you should read the descriptions carefully.

Best Video Output Card for AE

So I've finally decided to bite the bullet and purchase a plasma screen and video card so that clients can have a large screen on which to monitor the effects. I'm planning to mount it over the workstation and feed it an output from...and this is where my understanding breaks down. Should I just send it the comp window? Will I have to render in order to have any output? Should I send it the entirety of one of my monitors?
And most importantly, what kind of card plays nicely with AE and will feed the TV the appropriate output? I'm assuming these should be connected through HDMI?
My current equipment is a Mac Pro and 2 Apple Cinema Displays. Thanks in advance for your help! Also, I'm sure many of you out there have created similar setups for client viewing. Let me know about your experience!
Cheers,
Ari
