Public Beta Version of DVconfidential
Posted on: September 17, 2008Greetings to visitors from Scott Kelby’s Blog! This is the first public “beta” showing of the new DVconfidential 2.0 site. Over the next few days, leading up to the CS4 announcement by Adobe on Monday, there will be a lot of infrastructure construction going on around here… so be sure to wear your hard hat! :-)
There’s only more good things to come…

Great job on this Rod! Looks nice, if I’d say one thing, work on the header some more.

Hi Rod,
Thanks for the very informative post concerning video as Scott Kelby’s guest blog Wednesday video guy. It’s well written ~ Moose’ visual of the time lapse waterfall shows considerable creativity.
I’m interested in screen recording from Lightroom 2 showing capture and development of award-winning images. As this is a new project, it’s unclear what software to use and how to get files available for iTunes. I note weekly NAPP videos also contain tabs which let me go directly to tutorials ~ a creative timesaver. The NAPP videos are skilled presentations supported at their base by screen recorders.
Perhaps either you or Scott or even Mat could comment to particulars of such an activity for those interested in screen recording and tutorials. Matter of fact, if either Scott or Matt would put up a blog about the process, detailing software used and a general workflow, I think it would be extremely helpful!
Clearly, such an informative blog would help avoid a lot of trial and error time loss.
Scott ~ another great pic as a guest blogger!
Rod - forgive the 2nd post - thought it might help jog the memory…

Hey there Rod, I am fascinated by the live video streaming that you have been doing and wondering if you would be able to answer a few questions. Let me know and I will let you know what I am trying to achieve.

Hi Steve - I’m happy to answer a simple question if you want to post it here, but this is really the kind of in-depth consulting work I do for my clients. I’ve got to pay the bills for all of the free content I give away!

Rod,
I’m a Layers subscriber and love your column. I went through, step by step on how to perform your “custom background animation” tutorial. I will admit, I didn’t even realize Photoshop had an animation feature! So I like the “look” of what you taught. Now, how do I save it and use it in Premiere? How does this background have “infinately variable possibilities?” I guess I don’t understand how I can change it, save the color… I don’t even realize how you achieved both the horizontal AND vertical lines. I thought we created vertical lines, blurred them, and animated them (got that no problem…) but where did the horizontal lines come from? I also don’t understand what the polar coordinates do… I know, not so smart; I’m blonde. Thanks for the help! Always good stuff!
