What do you want to see next?
Published August 6, 2010
Hi again!
Once again, I'm trying to decide which video tutorial to make next. I have a few different ideas, so I thought I'd ask you. Which would you like to see next?
- Lighting - Different methods to soften a light
- Organization - Organizing and cataloging project files across multiple drives
- Style - How to stylize video with effects and filters
- Text - Tips for adding text to video
The first one would be live video, and the last three options would likely be screencasts with voice-overs.
I think any of these subjects would be helpful, but which would you prefer to see next? Please let me know in the comments...
All the best,
Izzy
