I’m quite pleased to present a little animation I’ve been working on for my upcoming releases. [Download it below!!!]
Nowadays a web app just doesn’t seem complete without a video to accompany it, showing off what the app can do.
They’re actually very useful. You don’t have to read much, there’s no silly flash to it and you can learn all about it very quickly.
On top of that, broadband is here. So, as I am told, is HD. While our televisual counterparts are struggling to cope with HD, those of us with reasonably good computers and a reasonable broadband connection can get HD right now. Especially if you’ve got a new Mac.
On top of that, widescreen is the way forward. I’m thinking that the next Video iPod will be widescreen (certainly future models will…).
That’s why I’ve decided that all the screencasts and stings will be available in full, glorious 720p HD format.
What does this mean, exactly? Well basically the size of the movie will be 1280×720. That’s the width of the Apple MacBook screen (and a bit shorter).
This sort of size allows me to record screencasts at 1:1 size, too.
‘Course, I’ll make smaller sizes available too.
Onto the animation
Well I’m just delighted to show you this bit of work. I really enjoy making this kind of stuff. It’s quite short, as a sting should be, but it’s certainly flashy.
For now, you can only get it in HD encoded in H.264. If you are struggling to play it on a PC (I can’t see you stuggling on a Mac), try out the free VLC video player software.
Tell me what you reckon, guys!
