Looking for tutorials

Hi all,
I'm new to Premiere Pro CS5 and After Effects. My intentions are strictly to create technical and tutorial videos for our company. I have vast photoshop and illustrator experience but the learning curve is a bit steeper with PP & AE.
I'm looking for some follow along tutorials that will help me create some intro animations and effects for my videos.
I have a good start with what I have played with so far but I'm hungry for more.
I did this in an hour by following a VideoCopilot.com tutorial. (can't seem to embed facebook video link)
http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=106854186052339&oid=113295005403654
Does anyone know of more sites with some quality tutorials detailing stuff like this?
Thanks

There's a whole slew of tutes on Tuts+ and then there would be Greyscalegorilla, Graymachine, creativeCOW and comemrcial sites liek Lynda. Still, may I advise to not waste all your time with rebuilding fancy projects that you will never do again?! if you do tech doc and training materials, you should much rather focus on transporting your existing PS and AI knowledge over to AE, that is learn the differences in effects handling, how to use masks and shape layers for vector-based artwork and diagrams and animation and all that. Yes, those eyecandy tutes are okay for a while, but their awe factor wears thin pretty quickly and you still haven't learned anything relevant for your actual daily work...

New To Web Design Looking For Tutorials

Hi, I am looking for some help and I am hoping that one of you can help me. I am a total beginner, as in complete beginner. I am looking to do a certified web design course, but can anyone point me in the direction of some DWCS5 tutorials. Beginner ones though, would like to gain some experience at least before I start my course.
Thanks.

The very best advice I can offer a beginner is to put Dreamweaver away. First focus on learning HTML and CSS code. Without a working knowledge of code basics, DW has a steep learning curve. If you understand code fundamentals, DW is easy to figure out.
Start here:

Looking for tutorials or guides on flash-web design

Hi,
I am a (software not web) programmer, not too experienced with flash.
However I am planning to do some web design with a friend who is a flash artist. I have worked with him before and found that he embedded way too much in flash, and it made it difficult for me to display a lot of the dynamic elements. This was probably 90% my own inexperience.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend any books that cover issues to do with designing websites using flash as the graphical elements, but html etc. for the bulk of the elements i am going to be loading from a database etc. (Or if its possible to do everything through flash, perhaps just some guides on that ).

When you create a Flash swf file by publishing the source fla, you have the option to have it also publishan html file. The embedding code in that html file can be copied and pasted into any web page, so that you can paste Flash content in just like you would an image or a section of text. The embedding code just tends to take up alot of room. But still, you can embed as many swf files as you like in the same html page.
I am uncertain what you mean by loading content from a database. Normally, text content might be loaded from a DB, though XML is often better because it relaxes the need to for the maintenance crew to have to learn how to edit a database, or to create some interface that makes the easy for them. Images or Flash content would normally be placed on the server in some folder rather than be stored in DB (which I have been told is possible).
I don't personally know of any tutorials that deal with specific approaches to designing a web site involving Flash, though anytime I need to find something I find Google to be a very helpful resource. I just don't know what you're really after that I could suggest some good search terms.

Looking for some Flash tutorials

I'm doing some webstuff in Flash CS5 using actionscript 3, and I could use some help with a couple of things. Can anyone recommend some tutorials on how to make an effective image gallery? Like with a picture slider or something? But ideally nothing overly complicated to do. I don't wanna just copy and paste code off of a website either, I wanna know how to actually make the code using Flash...maybe even just using the snippets if that's doable.
I'd also like to find a tutorial that'll teach me how to make a scroll bar so I can scan up and down text or images for another part of the project.
I'm looking for either video tutorials or written tutorials.

You can create mask for the movieclip as exactly as in your tutorial. and use below code (I think this is what you want).
For using the below code you should create some user defined components.
For Horizontal Scroll Bar: create hscrollBG for scrollbar background and hscroller for scroller.
For Vertical Scroll Bar: create vscrollBG for scrollbar background and vscroller for scroller.
mask_mc is mask movieclip and    content_mc is which the content you want to scroll.
/**** code ****/
var hscrollbar:MovieClip;
var vscrollbar:MovieClip;
if (content_mc.height > mask_mc.height)
    drawVScrollBar();
   if(content_mc.width > mask_mc.width)
    drawHScrollBar();
private function drawVScrollBar():void
   try
    removeChild(vscrollbar);
   catch (e:Error)
   vscrollbar = new MovieClip();
   addChild(vscrollbar);
   vscrollbar.x = mask_mc.width + 5;        //set scrollbar position
   var bg:vscrollBG = new vscrollBG();
   bg.height = mask_mc.height;
   vscrollbar.addChildAt(bg,0);
   var scroller:vscroller = new vscroller();
   scroller.x = 1;
   scroller.y = 0;
   vscrollbar.addChildAt(scroller,1);
   scroller.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, sc_mouseup);
   scroller.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, sc_mousedown);
   stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, sc_mouseup);
private function sc_mousedown(e:MouseEvent):void
   var scroller:MovieClip = vscrollbar.getChildAt(1) as MovieClip;
   scroller.startDrag(false, new Rectangle(1, 0, 0,mask_mc.height- scroller.height));
   scroller.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateScrollPosition);
private function sc_mouseup(e:MouseEvent):void
   stopDrag();
   var scroller:MovieClip = vscrollbar.getChildAt(1) as MovieClip;
   scroller.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateScrollPosition);
private function updateScrollPosition(e:Event):void {
   var bg:MovieClip = vscrollbar.getChildAt(0) as MovieClip;
   var scroller:MovieClip = vscrollbar.getChildAt(1) as MovieClip;
   var perc:Number = scroller.y * 100 / (bg.height-scroller.height);
   var ypos:Number = ( -perc * ((content_mc.height - mask_mc.height) / 100));
   content_mc.y = ypos;
private function drawHScrollBar():void
   try
    removeChild(hscrollbar);
   catch (e:Error)
   hscrollbar = new MovieClip();
   addChild(hscrollbar);
   hscrollbar.y = mask_mc.height + 5;
   var bg:hscrollBG = new hscrollBG();
   bg.width = mask_mc.width;
   hscrollbar.addChildAt(bg,0);
   var scroller:hscroller = new hscroller();
   scroller.x = 1;
   scroller.y = 0;
   hscrollbar.addChildAt(scroller,1);
   scroller.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, hsc_mouseup);
   scroller.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, hsc_mousedown);
   stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, hsc_mouseup);
private function hsc_mousedown(e:MouseEvent):void
   var bg:MovieClip = hscrollbar.getChildAt(0) as MovieClip;
   var scroller:MovieClip = hscrollbar.getChildAt(1) as MovieClip;
   scroller.startDrag(false, new Rectangle(bg.x, bg.y, bg.width - scroller.width,0));
   scroller.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, hupdateScrollPosition);
private function hsc_mouseup(e:MouseEvent):void
   stopDrag();
   var scroller:MovieClip = hscrollbar.getChildAt(1) as MovieClip;
   scroller.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, hupdateScrollPosition);
private function hupdateScrollPosition(e:Event):void {
   var bg:MovieClip = hscrollbar.getChildAt(0) as MovieClip;
   var scroller:MovieClip = hscrollbar.getChildAt(1) as MovieClip;
   var perc:Number = (scroller.x - bg.x) / (bg.width - scroller.width);
   var xcounter:Number = ( -perc * (content_mc.width - mask_mc.width));
content_mc.x = xcounter;
This code is reusable for many applications where we want scrollbar. In this code we can dynamically assign the scrollbars based on the content width and height.

Looking for Flash tutorials

Hi. Im new to Flash and im looking for a place i can learn to make a short cartoon with a step by step tutorial. It doesnt matter what the story is, it could be about a snail and his friend or something. Im not yet comfortable doing cartoons on flash by myself.

Looking for specific tutorials...

Here's what I'm looking for:
http://www.groceryshopping.net/brands/index.html
Does that have a "trade name" so I can be more successful
googling for tutorials? Play the branding tab... In particular I'm
looking to do the left-nav thing which loads different stuff center
court.
Any suggestions outside of just start playing with it and try
to become good?
Thanks in advance!

There's no 'trade name' there... it's just a menu playing
some video clips.
You'll want info on playing video in Flash and creating
buttons. There are
many tutorials on playing video, doing a couple of those
should get you the
grounding you need.

Looking for jdeveloper 10.1.2 step by step tutorials

Hi
am looking for jdeveloper 10.2.1 step by step tutorials, I already read the jdeveloper 10.2.1 documentation(some like chapter 3,4,5,6) so am kinda know the concepts but I need to know how to apply these concepts

Hi, i'm not answering your question but maybe I can add some friendly advice...if its possible I would be urging your company to be looking at the 11g technology stack. Of course their might be some reasons they are still based on 10.1.2 but in terms of functionality and development aids, 11g is a huge leap forward. Staying on 10g you also run the risk of hitting desupport timelines/certification etc etc.
Best of luck with 10.1.2 i had a look to see if I had any old copies of tutorials but couldn't find any, sorry (there are some books still available on ebay/Amazon)
HOpe this helps

While the popular trend is toward online video clips, try searching for used copies of Trish and Chris Meyer's books. Be sure they come with the DVDs. These books will go out of date. The version of AE you will be using will change but the fundamentals and basic concepts required to master the crafts of motion graphics and animation are constant, have been for almost one hundred years.
AE is a just a tool and it's really complicated. Not just hard, really, really hard. But to do good work you've got to understand why stuff works the way it does and what audiences expect.

Looking for Presenter Training tutorials

I know this is the Captivate group, but since many of us use both tools I thought I would throw out the question. i am looking for some free demo's on using Presenter. I haven't had much luck on the Adobe website. If anyone has run across some training on the tool and what it can do, I would appreciate some guidance.
thanks
Gina B.

Hello Gina,
I cannot help you very much, do use Presenter myself. Do you know there is a forum for Presenter? It is a little bit hidden, you'll have to go to the Connect Pro Forums to find it:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/connectpro/connectpro_presenter
RJ Jacquez blogged a couple of times about Presenter and included some video, you can search on:

If you have specific questions, you're welcome but do not know about real trainings.

New to inDesign - looking for help with creating booklets

Looking for a tutorial/answer on how to set up my book so that the pages can be printed, folded in half (like a brochure/magazine) so that I can bind the pages myself in a book. Not sure if my page size would be what I want the finished book size to be or if I need to double the page width setup size, because I will be folding them in half to put the book together. I know there must be a magic button as well that will sort the pages and keep them in the right order, once I fold them. Does this make sense to anyone?

Being brand new to FCX I want to purchase Motion5 so as I am able to add a motion template to the start of a video. Can someone please explain in simple terms how I go about this. Looked at tutorials

Being brand new to FCPX and Motion 5 I want to use a motions template I have bought for a wedding DVD I have shot, so as to place the introductory template at the start of my film. I have looked at tutorials and cant seem to see anything that tells me simply how to achieve this. Do I edit my film as normal in FCPX and then transfer to Motion to add the motion template or visa versa ?? I need a simple answer as I am far from an expert. Can anyone help please.

what do you mean by 'motion template'?
as you notice on launch of M5, it offers you different project types.
when you select 'title', the minute you save it, it's avail on next launch of FCPX in the title-browser.
same with effects.
if you like to use M5 for producing a short segment (eg, I created my 'openers' with it, some animation of our soccer-team's logo, the first 4sec in this video), you simply export the final project as a Quicktime-file and add it to some Event in FCPX for future use ...

Looking for a virtual app that will allow me to take a photo then be able to add details

Looking for a virtual app that I can use in my event planning and designing that I can take a pic on my iPad and then design the pic to my personal needs?

"Motion 5" is your friend.
Michael Wohl has a nice 15 video series (free) about Motion 5 at http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/motion5101-overview-and-workflow-guide (right side)
This is a "teaser" series to sell his tutorials but it is really good. Just saw it yesterday for the first time.
While all you want is just to place pins, realize that Motion has so much more. All kinds of effects and they can be really customized. Maybe put their street address, contact name, and phone number by the pin?
Motion 5: cheap at $49.99 (just got my download two days ago)
Motion 5: Support Community athttps://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/motion_5
If you're using the map for, say, deliveries, and use an iPad, what you could do is have a general map of the area imported into Motion, create the pins and whatever, then save (share?) it to the iPad.
