Second Green Screen Testing

[gadlaw]

Well this is definitely a mishmash of stuff thrown together yesterday. This is me with my little Canon picture taking Sure Shot which happens to be able to do a bit of video. I'm using the Pinnacle software which cost fifty bucks, the Xtranormal software which is free but the sets which include a certain type of character and includes the green screen that I can wiggle around with using the Pinnacle software , the sets are ten bucks each. Torr asked about live video behind the green screen and this is quite possible. Live video behind animation and that is possible. Live/animation video with a slide show is possible. Only thing left for it is turning it into something witty.

No, it's not hard to do at all otherwise I certainly couldn't do it. The hardest thing is getting it rendered through youtube, I did that as I went to bed last night since all the CPU power made my computer not good for anything else at the time. But no, not hard at all. The hard thing would be thinking of doing something amusing that anyone could actually see here. I've already got a Brad Carlton video or two that may not see their way out of the Admin section if I could even put them there. My 'Brad Carlton don't tab nothing out video' for instance.

The page with Pinnacle tutorial videos is here, and scroll to the bottom for the Version 12 Tutorials. It'll show you exactly what is expected with various things you can do. http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSit...ent/Tutorials/

Can’t wait to see what you come up with..That Brad and Tab / Oil and Water thang would be good ..I believe Its something most of us get….

It's already fun stuff all the way around Torr. Just with nothing but the online free stuff we've made some funny stuff. I know you're having fun and your imagination is cooking. I wouldn't worry too much about pissing anyone off, we're all big boys here and poking a little fun can't be too bad. But then you might not want to go by me. That little video editing software I have will just be more fun for me, another creative outlet for all sorts of things like family pictures - you know, nothing spectacular but just something cool. Perhaps a course blog with video. Heck, I haven't even begun to look at upgrades for the video for myself, maybe there's some HD video cameras that don't cost much and have things like zoom and pullback. I can see doing a Student Blog for the Sweet Notes - you know, why not, just cause we've gone through the Instructor led blog doesn't mean there isn't more there to mine. - And at a slower pace. Endless possibilities provided the energy is there.
