Episode 2 - "Attack Of The Elephants (Dream)" Released ... Finally

Aaron, I was excited to see this pop up in my aggregator. Looking forward to checking it out.

Hi guys,

I have seen your latest episode and I have some suggestions which I hope will be useful to you:

Reduce the length of the opening intro. It is Waaaaay too long.

Split different topics (interview, program tutorial) in separate episodes. This makes it easier for you to make an episode. It also makes it easier for us to find a specific topic.

Maybe try to have a little less casual look. You know, a nice shirt, shaved beard, and a necktie maybe?

These are the ideas I had while watching your last episode. Keep up the good work!

Hi Aaron,
I've enjoyed the newest video. (I agree with the long intro comment. But appearances are secondary, I feel) As I usually view the tutorial for Cinelerra several times, I write down its time and "bookmark" it that way. I have been playing a bit with Blender too, so the interview was really interesting.

I find the visuals of your screen really important. In the last video (3rd), I was not getting a pop up window that you were getting (the xyz settings). So, I played with a few buttons, and got it to appear by activating the question mark. Comparing it with your screen view, I saw that the button I had found was indeed highlighted on your screen.

A similar thing happened when I tried to drag and drop from the resources, and it was not working. This was because there is a drag and drop button on the main window which had to be set.

These are just a few items where I got stuck. It's impossible to include all these little notes in the video, so I thought writing them here might be helpful. However, since I am new here, I am not sure whether comments should be in the mailing list or here.

welcome back boys,

and with a killer episode, that even though it took me forever to catch on to, *shrugs* i'm a blonde. i'm really glad to see you back. its your guy's iptv show that originally(i.e. a few months) made me want to start video blogging. now while i'm still working on getting v4l setup to work with my usb based web cam.(hey i've gotta start somewhere!) but i had to say huge thnx for all your work awesome show &i can't wait for the next episode.

then like i said i'm starting my own podcast. i'm focusing my podcast on open source web app development & web2.0. now of course since you guys inspired me to even start thinking about podcasting i'd love to be able to interview either one of you for my inaugural podcast. email me, pretty please?

&dbl thnx again for all your hard work into this episode... i can't wait for episode 3.

I love the Cinelerra tutorials they are the best Cinelerra source on the net I watch them over and over- but why do you have to make it so difficult to watch them all in order? this is what ive managed to figure out so far; Cinelerra episode # one is in the source episode 6 -"the return of the pixel" and it starts 45 minutes into the episode. its about Cinelerra interface http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6054058685297801991 Cinelerra episode #two is in the source episode 2" the attack of the elephants dream" and starts after 33 minutes Its about editing http://www.vimeo.com/923182 or http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4452255589324403732 Cinelerra episode # 3 is in source episode 002.mp4 this is confusing because this episode has more about elephants dream than"the attack of the elephants dream" Cinelerra episode starts after 45 minutes This is all about effects http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7732299128742714264&q=source%3A... Cinelerra episode #4 is in the source episode 3"the revenge of Cinelerra and is about transcoding and rendering It starts after 10 minutes http://www.vimeo.com/894118 I hope I have got this right and it is useful to someone

Curiously I wanted to post about the same problem: Lack of a focused video on Cinelerra.

The subject is so scattered around that it is impossible to locate the episodes (and in the needed order).

To begin with, Cinelerra's GUI and workflow are absolutely confusing (being corrected in its revamped fork, Lumiera). Till Lumiera is available, we will have to learn and use Cinelerra. But there are no good documentation or video tutorials on the net for Cinelerra (compare that with Openshot). So I'd hate to see perfectly good material wasted like this!

What we need is a single video on Cinelerra (maybe stitched together from the older episodes; and then some more stuff added). Presentation-wise, I prefer what the Blendercookies videos show: ONLY the screencast of the application, and no mugshots of the presenter. :)
