I had to hunt and peck and figure stuff out through trial and error

I am sharing info on the products I use, and where to get them

Also a vid on how I produce vids and specifically my post production procedure for saving vids for upload to YouTube

I get so many inquiries on this, I thought it's time to just try and record what I do. The file size of this video is 33.4MB for 13.4 minutes. TIPS: I don't recommend recording the entire screen or a program in Full Screen mode

I had to do this for this video but normally I only set the area of the Application

The smaller the area you record the sharper the quality will be

Videos recorded using the entire screen end up looking pretty fuzzy and soft (like this one!).

(Dec 3, 2007), which they have not removed or fixed!(As of March 8, 2008!) Enjoy the video Check out more at: http://www.photoshopmama.net
