First Video Tutorial!

Wow, I finally got something to work this weekend! I created my first video tutorial after being inspired by Dawn's Stamping Thoughts blog and Kim's Clearly Inspired blog. Dawn adds video tutorials to her blog and I think it is a super idea. So much so, that I spent a lot of time working on this little project the past day or so. First, I discovered my digital camera saves videos as Quicktime files and those aren't compatible with the Movie Maker program that is already on my computer. After much searching, Steve found a program that converts the files to one I can use in Movie Maker, so I could "edit" ie, add captions. Once that was done, I thought I was set to upload the video. Ahhhhh not so, grasshopper! There was one more step that I didn't know about. Once I figured it out, I was good to go. I could upload to You Tube, but saw this nifty icon on my blogger task bar and thought I'd try it out.

The card I am showing is NOT my design. I cased the video tutorial Dawn has on her blog. Now I know not everyone has the time to check out all the blogs out there, so that is why I thought I'd try it for my first tutorial. I did use Close To My Heart products for the most part. I also used a stamp from Papertrey Ink.

So, after all that, here it is. I hope you enjoy it! I want to thank Dawn G and Kim B for inspiring me to do this. Who knows, if you like it, maybe, just maybe I'll do some more! :o) If you hate it, just be gentle with me, k?

I am so impressed!!!! It was great! I won't be trying it, however. I write speeches. I don't give them!!! Besides, I'm not techie enough for a video. I couldn't figure out how to use a paper corrugater earlier today . . . Man (figure of speech), you blow me away!!! Do some more . . . How fun!

Jeanne,
This is awesome! I'm so exited and I hope you'll do more in the future. Everything was wonderful and informative and the fact that you put your little commentary on there after the fact was so fun! I can't wait to try this! Thanks so much!

Wonderful.

Yes, please do more.

I would love to learn to add these to my blog too. I guess first I need a camera that does longer than 30 second videos, or do some REALLY short techniques!

Thanks to Inkin and Thinkin for sending me your way!

Hi,
This is the best video tutorial I have seen. It was for me like being in your class,as I am the only stamper in Bali,Indonesia I am quite isolated for new techniques and ideas.
Thank you so much for sharing
