[Divoto98]

why do you have a picture of Osama at 2:40 and also why is this video a response to "Osama Bin Laden Killed" ???

[Jesslhx]

@Divoto98 cause he made an interactive thing called "Osama Bin Laden Killed" :)

[TheGalFromKalamazoo]

Great tutorial Rich!!! :)

[alexanderjs11]

Wow I wanna make that wrestling match with the ps3 vs. xbox! Thanks for the tutorial!

[KageToraUK]

Pure genius!

[richkilla54]

Thanks man i've always wondered how to make videos interactive, also how do you make the text sparkly and glossy?

[HolmespuninkSpot]

That was fassssscinating!!! So much to learn allatonce in one little video!;) I'll take it one little gulp at a time, and see if I, toO, can do someint..uh, some*thing, so clever!

Thanks for the little spark of confidence =)

[HolmespuninkSpot]

p.s. Liked, Favourited, and Filed! hehee x)

[joshuamyler]

very nice my friend!

[PixelBrainMush]

I'm glad you mentioned the PNG thing. I've had to convert some JPG's in GIMP so I could scale them without losing resolution. Kind of annoying.

[richw4]

@JustinJamesUK Cheers Justin mate :)

[richw4]

@billyCtv You are welcome Billy :)

[NaturalTwentyFilms]

Do you remember those "Make your own adventure" book they published years ago? You'd read a chapter and then there'd be a question such as: If you want the hero to open the door, turn to page 30. If you want the hero to lock the door turn to page 35... this reminds me of that!

[richw4]

@NaturalTwentyFilms Oh man thanks for the reminder, they were massive when I was a kid, all the rage at school, think I have some on the bookshelf (dungeons and dragons themed I think)...going to have a look and have a trip down memory lane! Cheers buddy :)

[hsc59psn]

@NaturalTwentyFilms i liked those

[Liamwitz]

@NaturalTwentyFilms Fighting Fantasy? They're awesome.

[NaturalTwentyFilms]

@Liamwitz I loved them!

[geniusinmotion]

Can i have some of your melon rich?

[richw4]

@geniusinmotion I'll email you some! Hope it doesn't gunk up the inbox though :)

[geniusinmotion]

@richw4 I have some Anit-Melon gunk inbox cleaning spray, Im sure it will be fine :)

[MegaJoshua00]

@geniusinmotion

LMFAO!!!

[Matty09Magic]

if i could upload a private video of a green image and record that videowith my camera and add on a video to the green later, do you think it would look odd

[2000AndNever]

Do pixelan have 64-bit plugins? Do you use 64-bit because its much faster but you can't get plugins as easily.

[richw4]

@2000AndNever Yes they do 64 bit versions. The depth effect plugin is great for extruding text and creating buttons. On my interactive vids I used it to give the buttons a glossy/3d look :)

[AllenKll]

Thumbs up for the Melon!

[geniusinmotion]

@AllenKll I would rather thumbs up the video for the melon, thanks for the reminder

[richw4]

@AllenKll LOL just got to get another one now to have a nice pair of Melons :)

[brickfilms1954]

Thanks for the tutorial Rich it was very Helpfull

[richw4]

@brickfilms1954 you are welcome, glad you found it useful :)

[1996tsc]

hey rick did u use a crack sony vegas or u brought it ^^

[pariastabendesa]

He bought it. 

[richw4]

@1996tsc Bought it....I never use Pirate software. The Upgrade to Pro 10 only cost me £80 (and I got 2 free gifts of Sound FX packages worth $300) as Sony often give freebies and perks away to registered users plus all the latest bug fixes and latest versions of software free :)

[Newpetest1]

Thanks a lot Rich!

Just made one thanks to you! ☮

[richw4]

@Newpetest1 Thanks so much Pete for including me in your new vid ! :)

[sandrateager]

Great Tutorial!  =)

[richw4]

@sandrateager thanks so much Sandra :)

[sandrateager]

@richw4 Welcome!  =)

[iggy35]

I'VE GOT A MELON!!!!

[richw4]

@iggy35 Would have been nice to have 2 and have a nice pair of melons :)

[chinwart]

Brilliant tutorial m8. I thinking about how this was done a few days ago. I like the way Andy from thelionsdennews does his vids.

[richw4]

@chinwart Andy's menu system is brilliant, very clever and makes his blogs/news look very professional :)

[stevesnaps1]

Nice one Rich,great stuff.

[richw4]

@stevesnaps1 thanks so much :))

[docdo1]

Lol let's go to the editing suiete...I GOT A MELON!!!!!

[richw4]

@docdo1 and a large melon too :)

[mufferrs]

Ive just discoverd you can add the link onto a different video so when they click it, it goes to the video

[richw4]

@mufferrs Glad you found it helpful..yes you can use them to link to other videos and also to link to playlists and even a subscription page, very handy :)

[howarth004]

Very clever. but I take it you need sony Vegas ro enable this.

[mufferrs]

This has been really helpful

[MiikaWasHere]

Richw4 have you ever tried or planned trying Adobe AfterEffects...

[richw4]

@MiikaWasHere i do have AE but haven't yet installed on my new PC :)

[arunavsharma]

thanks Rich.

i always look forward to all ur new videos.

you rock..

[richw4]

@arunavsharma Cheers Buddy :)

[arunavsharma]

@richw4

did you see my "why is the world scared of south indians" video ?

[trixdropd]

For me I get no link option on my annotations. Is this normal?

[TheLionsDenNews]

Ahh, the entire basis of my show menu, way to give away my secrets!

[richw4]

@TheLionsDenNews Oh yes! But at least you use yours in a sensible way Andy! LOL I like the feature of linking back to the same video, in the past I used to run interactive polls and set up a second account to host the 'choice' videos as you could only link to another video not the same one back then..eeee progress! :)

[nukem384]

great tutorial! awesome way to show ppl how to use annotations to make video interactive!

[richw4]

@nukem384 thanks dude! :)

[MrStlgateway]

what software for editing do you use? I have been using movie maker that came with my computer...it is limited....also can you subscribe please and thanks!

[richw4]

@MrStlgateway I use Sony vegas (pro 10) there are different versions of it ranging from lite versions which are cheaper to the more fully versatile pro versions (a lot more expensive lol)

[MrAnnoyingFreak]

wow i knew how to do this, your video proved my theory was was 100% true thanks rich

[richw4]

@MrAnnoyingFreak you are welcome, happy to prove your theory lol :)

[pariastabendesa]

Hey Rich, A question again, is this your new Camstudio settings or you use a different Screen Capture Software?

[Arthur40TwoDent]

Great stuff Rich.

I wish they added a feature so you could add a link to other websites

[richw4]

@Arthur40TwoDent that would be soooo useful but I guess they want to keep traffic on their site :(

[batboy62]

That's very cool! I want to try that sometime! :)

I got a melon! xD

[richw4]

@batboy62 yaay everyone should have a pet melon! :)

[pariastabendesa]

Hey Rich? Where's the new Intro?

[richw4]

@pariastabendesa which new intro do you mean? :)

[pariastabendesa]

The new intro in the "My Little Shop" video. That's kind of epic intro love it so much.

[larcenyinc]

WOOO HOOO ALL HAIL THE MELON lol anther great vid Rich you the man.

@twister7boy and now you know lol :)

[AS6VIDEO]

[richw4]

@AS6VIDEO don't we all!...err I mean not with your Mrs..with our respective missisus ;)

[DjMcmickeymouse]

[richw4]

@DjMcmickeymouse It was made by Atlantisdigitalfilms...winner of my intro competition last year :)

[paranorma1palace]

[richw4]

@paranorma1palace I'm sure you'll have loads of fun with this Vin! :)

[paranorma1palace]

@richw4

[6stijn6]

COULD u make a tutor how to get that nice SUBSCRIBE thing next to how many videos u have above ur video

[richw4]

@6stijn6 Unfortunately it's only available for Partners :( I think everyone should have them though..brighten the place up! :)

[gnomencandle]

Hey Rich,

Do you know if there is a way for youtube to use annotations over and over again so that they are saved on youtube for later use? I'm doign a series right now where I am using annotations to make a "scoreboard" and last night I set it up as an interactive choice one.. I find myself setting up about 3-4 same annotations for each video and it would save a few minutes..

[richw4]

@gnomencandle Not sure if that is possible...I'll have a look on the forums though :)

[richw4]

@xxP1nkSkittlezxx you are welcome :)

[TransfatylvaniaFilms]

I've always wondered how to do this! Thanks for the awesome tutorial!

[richw4]

@TransfatylvaniaFilms No problem Premier! look forward to seeing what your wonderfully evil mind may come up with for using this :)

[DanielSoreFilms]

I knew how to do all this anyway but decided to watch it and also can't you just use the crop tool Instead of the cookie cutter??

[Editutes]

Very nice! will use this for an interactive thing im working on! thanks Rich! very helpfull!

[richw4]

@Editutes oo sounds exciting..have fun being interactive! creates a whole new way for people to engage in videos :)

[DocSatori]

Great stuff. Thanks for doing all this homework for us. Saves everyone loads of time and makes the You Tube experience more interactive. The new fridge looks nice. Couldn't see any loose body parts spilling out of it.

[richw4]

@DocSatori You are welcome! :) The fridge is so huge it's not even half full with the body parts...but getting there ;)

[ziwao]
