Pretty good editing kingsfield. What program do you use to edit it?

Not sure what direction to bring take this site guys. Any more suggestions?

[Kingsfield]

I've used After Effects and Premiere Pro. I do need more work on colour correction and the like, but I was picking it all up fairly quickly when I had things to edit.

I quite like the site as it is, but maybe it could be a little less "cryptic" and more just "gfx"?

Hey Kingsfield, I'm making some video versions of the tutorials here. I could use someone to add a cool intro and a watermark in the corner. Think you could help?

[Kingsfield]

Yeah for sure, Just send me an e-mail with the specifics, like what kind of water mark and what sort of intro, then I'll try get it done fairly quickly. One quick question, does crypticgfx have a logo?

[Balloon]

We don't have a logo yet, I'm going to try to make one though. I'll get back to you with it.

As for the watermark just something in the corner that says "CrypticGFX.com"

As for an intro, just something basic that shows the site name/logo, tutorial title, etc. Maybe some cool intro music in the background. Not sure.

Do you have msn?

[Kingsfield]

Alright, I can do all that sort of thing fairly quickly. I can try come up with a little music myself to go with the intro, my brother took a 3 year college course on music design so I could grab some software off him and give it a shot.
and Yeah it's the same as my E-Mail address. I'll try get it up because last time I tried it, it just kept crashing.
Make sure you get back to me on the Logo as well, that usually looks good next to the title.

Alright, I'll add you as soon as possible. Adium (my mac IM application) has been acting up on my computer lately and wont let me add people. I'll work on getting it fixed and add you as soon as possible.

If you could make some cool intro music that would be amazing. I'd really appreciate it. Just remember it has to be unique not not copyrighted. I don't want to get the youtube account banned for something like that. I have garageband on my laptop and fruity loops on my desktop, so if all else fails I can probably whip something up too.

Yeah, I'll work on a logo right now and post it once i come up with something cool.

Question about the watermark in the corner, if i made a small .png image in photoshop that says "crypticgfx" with a transparent background could you insert that? Or would it be better to just do it using your software?

Edit:
I was just fucking around with some screen recording / editing software today. I just looking for something simple like this (sept a little bit nicer):




I didn't bother adding any music to this. It was just to test out the quality.

[Kingsfield]

Yeah that is pretty good man, and I don't claim to be an expert so don't expect to see anything fantastic from me so what did you use to put it all together?
And I could insert a .png quite easily. I could also insert it in text just as easily. Whichever you would prefer.
When i'm back from my temporary hiatus, I'll try help out with the videos a bit more

[Balloon]

I used a program called screenflow to record and edit it. It's a pretty good app and easy to use . Way better then camtasia.

Cool glad to have you back. I'll hit you up when i get the tutorials going. It might be a while, I'm trying to build a homepage/blog right now.
