Hey there Makman. Good work. Likin' MaGui quite a bit, have had 'some' confusion so ...
Just watched the 6-part tutorial ... looks good, but as stated previously, needs sound. There I times I don't quite get what you're doing or why. Also re: download size, glad you reduced it, but could still be smaller. Did you record these at full screen resolution? Perhaps reduce them to 800x600 or so, that would cut the size even more.
Regarding the sound. It seems to me you WERE talking during the recording. I would like to help. Tho I can't provide a tutorial or info on recording a video-screen-capture WITH sound, perhaps I could add the sound to the existing videos if you send me some audio files to go with 'em. I use a wonderful nifty program called Blender (
http://blender3d.org ) which is a free, open-source 3D graphics app. A lesser known feature of Blender, however, is its video sequencer, with which sound can be added to a video. I COULD tell you how to do it, but would probably have to make a video tutorial myself to explain it
, thus my offer to add the sound myself if you send me audio files.
Wondering too, sometimes it's the obvious that we miss; are you SURE you had your microphone properly plugged in and selected as the recording source? I've missed that before my own d**n self
. I recommend doing a quick test with windows sound recorder program to make sure you're getting proper audio recording.
As far as sending me audio files to add to the videos. I HIGHLY recommend a program called Audacity. (
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ ) Again, free and open-source (I'm a serious open-source GPL advocate, heh) No need for 'high-quality' sound either. Mono with sample-rate of 22050Hz would be plenty adequate, and plenty small.
Respond here or feel free to PM me. If interested that is. Hope so as I'd REALLY like some audio with these tutorials. Haven't watched the HydroHunting tutorial yet, will soon, be glad to do the same with that one.
hope I can help
