Video tutorial
-
I hate video tutorials! I know read! I understand schemas and code of 10 languages. If I need simple solution for an ordinal trouble ( 3 lines of a code or 5 lines of a text) why I must see 10 minutes of bad sound unfocussed video? :confused:

Because it feeds the ego of the person who made it? I have to agree - they are mostly garbage, and worse you can't copy and paste code from them!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I agree too. I am just doing som Flash stuff (animating in flash) from Lynda.com - while it is great to see the animations being done, having to continually stop the video to try out the stuff is a pain - and there's only a 10 second 'go-back because I missed something' button. Although at least with Lynda there is a transcript I can read. What I find really, really annoying is when something happens on screen, the author makes no mention but, if you listen carefully, he's pressed a key to change mode or something. V frustrating when you're following along & it doesn't do what the version on the video is doing! The ideal is a mix of text, images, animations, video - so I can read the instructions, information and background, watch it being done if I want, and see simple images or videos of what is to be achieved, if I want. I have noticed that the younger generation (whipper snippers that they are) go straight for a video tutorial, though - probably because they're too flamin' lazy to read, though!~ Still - I have just managed to animate a waving flag - so it isn't all bad :)

Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

but are you a master of any of them? If you can understand and grok 10 languages, then Shirley, you do not need a tutorial. :rolleyes:

I made it on virtual film...But abandoned when understood how bad I am with all this video thing - now I try to find the time to write it in plain English, without over-acting it... :laugh:

Do you mean whipper snappers? A whipper snipper is used to do the edges of the lawn.

This is how we really are, may be because we have been reluctant to read any kind of written stuff since we're children. And may be because we have been taught that pictures(videos these days) say more than words.
