Post Expo (Video) Wrap Up

My thoughts on this past week's Macworld Expo, an Expo I'm calling "Version 4 - The Conversation". Watch to see YML's thoughts.

Thanks to:

Mr Tiny

Okay, so your pre-Macworld video was a postage stamp in the middle of the screen. So you got the settings wrong. You get a free pass because you'll learn, won't you? It won't happen again, I'm confident. You'll notice and fix it.

Post-Macworld video wrap-up? Yep, postage stamp again. I don't mind if you only want it to be QVGA (320 x 240), but you've got a massive border that's making your video resolution much larger than the video itself. Your title card is much bigger than the video and fills the screen, yet it appears to have been scaled up from QVGA.

The content I love but after two of these, I had to comment. ;)

I'd love to fix all of that

I'd love to fix all of that but I obviously don't know what the hell I'm doing and I only just barely understand what you wrote...

Suggestion to Fix

The larger size of your static images is defining the resolution of the whole video--your images are big and the video is small. Probably the simplest way to fix it would be to resize your static images to the size of your video (looks like 320 x 240). Then do whatever you've been doing to put these together. Hope that helps!

Good idea and it makes

Good idea and it makes sense. The problem is, if I shrink the static images, they lose resolution but if I increase the video of me...well...all you get is a bigger me... :)

I'm doing another one today - I'll play around with it. Thanks!
