GREAT TUTORIAL! Oh and BTW WHERE DO YOU GET $43,000 FOR THAT SEXY PIANO!?

[mariocast]

@99akol992 Got it at a nicely reduced price from Yamaha to help them pilot test some new technology on their Disklavier pianos.

how long did it take you to edit this masterpiece?

[mariocast]

@CaptainKurk911 It took maybe an hour or two after shooting all footage to edit it to what you see here. Not to sound too much like I'm shilling their product, but the ScreenFlow program really makes the editing process so easy and fast.

How did you do the effect of the piano playing itself? is that the MIDI box or is it a video effect? if it is how do you do it?

Thanks,

[mariocast]

@creativewb It's a Yamaha Disklavier Mark IV Pro Grand Piano. So it records your playing exactly as your record it on the keyboard. I just did a cross-dissolve video transition. (But if it makes you more impressed, I really have the ability to be invisible.)
