Make Video Tutorials (newbie)

Ok this might be a newbie question.
On YouTube I see many people who make tutorials on how to use websites and so forth. The question is how do they do this? Can it be done in iMovie?
For instance I want to show people how to log into my website and use functions on the website and make a video that I can put in iMovie and publish on YouTube. How do you do this? Can someone help guide me please?
Here is an example of what I am trying to do:

Do you use the DotFit ExerSpy and have you been able to link the armband with you Mac?

Is it possible to hide my cc email from app menus? (to make video tutorials privately)

Hi, I just wanted to know if it's possible to hide the CC email address, such as the one in the Edit menu in Photoshop CC. In many video tutorials I've seen, people seem to manually blur it out every time, which seems very silly. If it's not possible, I'll just make a new junk mail address and go with that.

Hi Nick2828,
Its not possible that I'm aware of, maybe sign out of the app temporarily? or do what you suggested.

Video tutorials for completel LR newbies?

A few years back I had been using CS5, (but not very well), and also an application by Nikon called Capture NX2. I got semi proficient with NX2 and like the results I got with that. As time went on I slowly moved on from my photography hobby, (still have all my gear though).
Just recently I've got the photo bug again and I really enjoy editing the shots I take. I've never used LR before so I was wondering if there are video tutorials for the absolute basics?

Here is a good set of beginner tutorials that I think every new user of Lightroom should watch:

Learning to use a Mac- where are the video tutorials?

I am an old PC user, converting to this sleek machine after loving my iphone. but I am really struggling to understand all the new conventions, keystrokes, and shortcuts. I can't even really understand safari- there is no "web address" window at the top, so I go to google for everything.
Are there not video tutorials somewhere on my machine? reading the articles is hard to do if I don't see the interface.

Doctormark,
Welcome to Apple Discussions. Here is some great information that will make your transition smoother. I would recommend going through these in order.

QuickTime flickering during Video Tutorials?

When I am watching the Video Tutorials for any of Apple products my QT flickers dark and light, not to the point where I can't see the video, but to the point where it is annoying. Anyone else having this problem? This is on a 4 day old new MacBook. I have the most recent version of QT installed.
Anyone else having the same issue?

MACBOOK QUICKTIME VIDEO PLAYBACK FLICKER ISSUE
Well, this is the first time I have been so far out on the front end of a new problem with a new computer purchase, so I guess I have the responsibility of raising the "noise level" on this defect. I certainly want a "fix" sooner rather than later.
After speaking to a relatively nice guy at Apple (Steve H.) last week, I did extensive diagnostics on my own, and sent a VERY long email to Apple explaining the problem in great detail providing information pertinent to engineers (along with affected video samples) in addition to sending in a "data capture file" of my new MacBook's status.
I later found out my diagnostic email was not forwarded to the engineers because of questions they sent back to me, indicating that they never got the detailed report after viewing my data capture logs.
Today I spoke with "Catilin" - not an engineer - (apparently the engineers are insulated from speaking voice to voice with customers). Caitlin informed me that since I did a clean install of the OS before one of my tests, that is proof that my video files are corrupt and there is no defect. When I then asked if it is possible that Apple could ship a faulty product, she answered, "No."
Sigh... where are the scientists of the world when you need them?
Anyway, for those of you out there with the problem, I will not post my long detailed report here. We all seem to be experiencing the same issues anyway. I just wanted to confirm that you are not alone, and apparently not a small number. When customer service tells you that you are the first person they have heard of with this problem (as they are mostly saying now), know that it means nothing. There are a lot of customer service people, and even widespread problems take time to be common knowledge among support staff.
Please make sure you tell customer service that this is a KNOWN ISSUE among users. Dozens of people are certainly contacting Apple about this problem now, but they have not yet issued an internal memo so that all customer service personnel are aware of it.
I will attach the latest email I just sent to Steve H., who just left me a cryptic voice mail message explaining how we should use third party software to play back videos and how we should use easily obtainable online apps to convert our video clips to other formats that might not be affected by the defect.
Please note that I am not trying to be negative about Apple here, but it would seem from my communications so far, only the engineers (scientists) are open to evaluating this problem rationally, and unfortunately I am currently forced to speak to the engineers through the filter of "not so highly intellectual or scientifically trained" customer service persons.
So, please spread the word when you call Apple and make sure they are aware that you have read about this problem from other Apple customers online.
I am tired of this issue and do not have another 20 hours to invest. I hope someone else will take a turn moving this problem forward with Apple and post your results here. Maybe if we work aggressively in shifts on this thing, someone in a position to do something at Apple will finally hear about it.
Steve,
I did not understand your voice mail.
What do you mean by, "There is not really much more we can do on this."?
Incidentally, it affects more than MPEG 1 files, as is evident in the detailed email I sent to you.
Did you mean to say, there is not much more you can do about it now, but it is being worked on?
Is it Apple's official position that this defect will not be resolved and we must always use third party software to play standard video clips (as suggested in your message), instead of using Apple's defective software shipping with MacBooks?
I must assume you misspoke in your email message.
Did you mean to say to use other programs and convert videos to other formats in the interim while Apple's engineers work on a correction?
Has it already been determined that all new Macbooks have the problem, or only some?
Obviously, if it is only some, I need to return mine to get a MacBook that does not have this defect/conflict/ or whatever it is.
I hate to say this, but as is evident by your just received voice mail and you not being aware of the different affected video formats I wrote about in great detail before, you are apparently another technical support person to go down in history as not paying close attention to an important and detailed diagnostic email before replying.
It is doubly surprising to see this behavior in you, when in my earlier email I went out of my way to explain and warn against this all too common and bizarre phenomenon of customer service persons not paying attention to helpful diagnostic email before replying to the treasured customers who went out of their way to prepare and send such email.
I can't keep working for Apple for free on this issue, especially when I am not receiving coherent responses to my testing and kind diagnostics work.
Please consider me retired from the "MacBook Development and Leopard Beta Testing Team", until such time as it is decided to compensate me adequately for my generously donated time.
Fix it, tell me to exchange for another unit, or tell me the problem has been acknowledged and it is being worked on. Or reiterate one last time that it will not be fixed (as you suggested in your last message) and I will know I must return the defective computer and consider other options in life.
I have no more time for any other responses from you.

Adobe Video Tutorials

Hello, I have an unusual question. Adobe's video tutorials are always brilliantly made and very helpful. My question is, do you make the videos internally or do you outsource them? If you outsource, can you please name the agency? We are looking for a good agency.
Thank you.

Hi,
I don´t know why you are posting this in the German forum but anyway - the video tutorials I´ve seen so far are pretty simple made in my opinion. You just have to have some recording software like Screenflow or simply the Quicktime Player and a semi-quality microphone. Last is software and skills to cut the hole thing together.
If it aren´t tons of videos you need to produce I´d really attempt to save that money.
But anyway, I´m not Adobe so...

I have looked through the video tutorials for CS6 and cant find any help for PHP using SQL.

Where is a good place that I can go to learn more about using dreamweaver and different languages than html. Is there a service that adobe offers that I could buy that would take me from rookie all the way to professional with a good easy to use structure such as adobe tv but more advanced and thorough? I am trying to build a website with a log in page and registration. I have the HTML part down well enough but need help writing the php scripts and using SQL to store the user info

I'm moving this to the main Dreamweaver support forum.
In answer to your question, you need to be aware that the PHP server behaviors in Dreamweaver CS6 use the original MySQL functions that are scheduled to be removed from a future version of PHP. The server behaviors have already been removed from Dreamweaver CC. If you are planning to create a site using PHP and MySQL, do not rely on Dreamweaver's server behaviors. You must use either MySQLi (MySQL Improved) or PDO (PHP Data Objects) instead.
If you're looking for video tutorials, you might be interested in the courses I have created for lynda.com. As a beginner, a good place to start would be PHP for Web Designers or Introducing PHP (there are several sample videos that you can watch for free on my website). Both courses were recorded on Dreamweaver (PHP for Web Designers on Dreamweaver CS6, Introducing PHP on Dreamweaver CS5.5). PHP for Web Designers shows how to connect to MySQL with MySQLi. You need a subscription to lynda.com to watch the complete courses, but you can get a seven-day free trial by following the links on my website.
If you don't want to commit to a subscription service, I have also written a book called PHP Solutions, which covers MySQLi and PDO in depth. It also shows how to build a login system. At the moment, the second edition is available, but a revised third edition is due to go on sale in December.
There are also a lot of free resources on the web that you can find. The important thing to beware of is that a lot of old material relies on the original MySQL functions. Whichever resource you use, make sure it shows how to use MySQLi or PDO.

Any Good FREE FCP Video Tutorials Like LiveTypeCentral Do For LT ?

Recently my attention was drawn to some very good FREE video tutorials provided by LiveTypeCentral:-
http://www.livetypecentral.com/cgi-bin/livetypecentral.cgi/tutorials.html
I was wondering if there are any similar free ones covering FCE/FCP or the other FCS apps?
I don't need them of course ....... they are just for friends! (If you believe that you'll believe anything).
Incidentally I have done a search and had a look at the Creative Cow ones, but they tend to be on somewhat random esoteric subjects.
I am looking for something that starts with the basics of the apps.

Sorry, I didn't make it clear.
I mainly wanted freely available tutorials that I could direct others to on the FCE and other forums. Frequently newcomers don't know where to start, and I don't have time to write a new manual, so it is very efficacious to be able to point them to a site with free tutorials.
That LiveType source I quoted is excellent. So now, basically all I am looking for is a similar one for Soundtrack and FCE/FCP.
The first one you linked is probably fine except for the download time which would probably have taken several hours per tutorial, which is going to put off many newcomers looking for a quick-fix.
I must admit I also like looking at tutorials (I never used to!) because every one of them has a different angle and it's surprising what you can pick up, that you have missed in others.

Hello, I am completely new to the Mac - Video tutorials

Hi
After almost 20 years and maybe more - using Windows PC's I have moved over to Mac - Just bought a new iMac 5 all in one and having a little hard time trying to get my headv around the way it operates.
I am getting used to it and love it but I cant seem to be able to find out how to save files into folders and how to organise them.
On Windows I just created Folders anywhere I wanted and saved files that way.
I downloded a Maac version of a software which is on my Hard drive ( saved from my Windows PC) and I Can see the hard drives on my desktop fine.
When I unzipped the files I get a mac file that I double click and it asks which drive I want to save it on -
I choose the imac and after that it says I do not have write privelages ??
Stuck at this point .
Anyone able to help plus any directions - if there are any Video tutorials I can go to or purchase so that i am making best use of my Mac.
Also when I start my mac I go straight into kiosk - is that the standard way it opens up ?
I have created an admin user - fir myself with a password - so when I am saving anything on my mac it asks for a username and password - seems to be fine in that respect
Thanks again
Hamant

This is a great place to start.
http://support.apple.com/videos/
Yes make sure your account is an admin account. You should be able to save any where and create folders with out issue.
Usually when you unzip things you can unzip it to your desktop or your documents folder. You can find those options on the left hand area in the save window.

Best online training - video tutorials

Although I have seen some threads earlier on the training programs but just thought get a latest update from the forum members.
Please suggest me a best online site that has the best tutorial (video tutorials)to learn FCP. And also cheap like lynda.com. I am looking for mainly a video tutorial rather than the book version.
thanks all

Hey Jim
Google is such a basic thing anybody would do, I was hoping to get advice from experienced seniors on the subject and not to teach me how to google.
All the site you identify in google may not be too good, before you enroll somewhere and loose money I wanted to make sure.
You dont have to term 'google' under your initiatives...even a baby these days would google. I already have a long list of sites with me after doing a google research for over a week.
If you really have used those sites please suggest but try to proove your intelligence here, I didn't force you to give me the reply.
Finally please keep in mind, dont expect everybody who posts here is a dumb or fool

C5 Video Tutorials

A total newbie to Photoshop and after many problems managed to download the trial of CS5. However, as I need as much help as possible, I am finding it impossible to view the video tutorials. It is not consistent - one worked and then when I went back to view again - it didnt. Can anyone help without getting too technical? Thank you>

go to preferences and click on extensions tab. Then uninstall any DIVX apps. It should work after that.

Video Tutorials for java beginners

Hi there! My name is Donato and I'm developing some video tutorials addressed to those people who would like to learn a bit of Java but don't feel like reading endless books.
They will cover easy topics and will show everything step by step.
I'd like to know if someone is interested in supporting and helping me. Here's an example of the first of this flash tutorials:
http://scorpio2002.altervista.org/Java/java_1.zip
What do you think?
Ciao,
Donato

you learn to do it by writing code.I don't remember having stated that you learn a
language in a way other than writing code.
I said in the video that the only way to learn a
programming language is to write a lot of code...
You don't learn to program by watching videos; At this rate, one could say "You don't learn to
program by reading books" :-)
A video is just a different way of getting started.
Some people are just scared by programming and need a
soft way to get involved.
Serious people will be reading those endlessbooks
After you got involved, you'll get thousands of books
and you'll go into the "guts" of the language.
Personally I like books... but I don't see why - if
you get started with some videos and then, if you're
still interested, you pass to books - you're not
serious. Can you just explain me what the difference
is?
The "endless" books are usually about advancedtopics, not the introductory stuff that a video
covers.
You're right. :D And I don't remember saying
something different.
Sorry, I don't think it's a great idea.I thank you anyway. I posted this topic just to see
if there was someone interested. :-)
And these videos are not meant for experienced
developers like you. This video are to be made BY
experienced developers like you... :D Maybe there has
been a missunderstanding, sorry, but my English is
not that well... :(So what do you care what we think? Make them, market them, and let the marketplace decide how good your idea is. If they sell, you're right. Your balance sheet will be the best scorecard there is.

I have been regularly receiving video tutorials from Addicted 2 Salsa and synching these to my iPod but recently I have been unable to do so. I overcame this problem in the past by making an ipod version or loading them on to iMovie and then sharing them but this method no longer works. THere is no problem viewing them on my computer and everything else synchs okay to the iPod so what is going on and how can I overcome this problem?

Double check to make sure podcasts are configured to sync to your device from under the iPod's Podcast configuration tab.
To access the Podcasts tab for your iPod, plug your iPod in and click on it from under theDevices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the Summary tab. Along the top you should see a Podcasts tab, so go ahead and click on it. Here you can configure how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.
If you do make any changes to do this tab, make sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to apply the update changes to your device.
Otherwise, are you getting any error messages when you sync your iPod Classic with iTunes?
