[yiyojimenez]

you can use camstaciastudio6 to record your videos on HD. try it :)

[christheferal]

I did use camtasia studio 6 xD - YouTube for some reason didn't render this one in HD, I have no idea why, it worked for other videos of mine. Thanks though :P

[heldy123]

The best is SnagIt for hd videos

[OMGitzneveron]

umm i no this is nub but how do i make a gradient?

[christheferal]

re-watch the video closely, you should be able to see the gradient tool on the left.

[Warcraft3Addict]

wow i cant apply the gradiant, i have it setup but i cant drag it across the screen to apply im getting annoyed help plz!

[Warcraft3Addict]

hold on i figured it out!

[Warcraft3Addict]

wow i cant apply the gradiant. i have it all setup i just cant apply it

[PCHelper12345]

cool! thanks!!

[MelOAyness]

Chris- Tell me, what program do you use in making your tutorials? You are really good at displaying your technique especially since you are able to show a full screen with the commands and drop-downs so neatly displayed! How is it possible to do this while narrating your video? What kind of screen display software allows you to create a video of your work, it doesn't seem to look like a camera is focused on your screen. Thanks for the excellent tutorial!

[christheferal]

Thanks :D

I use Camtasia Studio export it, then go on to import it into Adobe Premiere Pro, do my editing and export it once more. I can do a tutorial if you want :P

[ravidels1]

[UCMYPure]

Hi there Chris. Nice tutorial.

Just wondering, .JPG or .PNG? I see you saved as a Jpeg but isn't .PNG a better quality filetype?

On smaller screens this may not matter, but on my projector i really need the best quality possible.

Other than that, i liked =]

[christheferal]

Well, png would be better quality, I just chose jpeg for the heck of it. Jpeg may also be slightly smaller in size.

[UCMYPure]

Fair enough, i'll use png.

Btw, its the second way of saying mosaic =]

"Mo-zayk"

[jcenarock]

Christheferal.. Your my hero.

[lukechris1995]

JPEG is more compatible though

[jcenarock]

I didnt say it wasn't.. I said Christheferal was my hero.. you needed to reply to Chris' comment not mine

[christheferal]

lol @jcenarock.

[christheferal]

True, but if UCMYPure is just displaying the image on his projector, he shouldn't have a problem, most of the newer portable devices can handle png.

[turbochevynova]

is this only for photoshop?

[christheferal]

Well, haven't tried to make it in any other applications. I'd assume you'd be able to in others though.

[UCMYPure]

The tutorial itself is for photoshop, the steps in the video can be followed in GIMP too.

[turbochevynova]

cool
