This episode answers an email I received asking me to demonstrate how to create this effect. I use Final Cut Pro in this video, but you could just as easily do it in Final Cut Express, or any video editing application that allows you to have multiple video tracks.
Also, as promised, here’s the link to the LCD font I used in the video.

This episode is a direct response to several questions I received from viewers. They were worded differently, but the basic question was this: “How do I shoot outdoors when I’m the only one there? What if I don’t have a crew? How do I work with diffusion panels and reflectors by myself?”
Well you can do it, and in this week’s video I show you exactly how!

If you want to learn the fundamentals of video, now is your chance to spend a day with me live. In connection with PubFilms, I’m holding a one-day workshop on April 17th, 2009 in Gilbert, AZ (suburb of Phoenix).
It’s a packed day, starting at 8:30am and ending at 4:30pm. These are some of the broad topics I’ll be covering:
I want to keep the group small, so I have time to answer questions. I’m limiting the workshop to 20 people. You can see more details and register here for the event.

This week’s video does a couple things. It promotes my new course, Learn Final Cut Pro 6: The Izzy Video Guide for Beginners. Also the video answers a question that viewers frequently ask me: “What is your process for exporting video for the web?”
I covered the subject a while back, but my process has changed a bit since then, so it’s a good time to update you.
As I mention in the video, this free version is much smaller than the ones available as part of my Final Cut Pro course. My course offers both HD videos at 1280×800 and Small videos at 960×600, so viewers can see everything that I’m doing on the screen.
I’m really excited about this new course. It took a long time, but I’m very happy with it. I believe it’s a great way for someone new to Final Cut Pro to learn the fundamentals of the app. I’ve already started receiving feedback from people who signed up for it yesterday right after I launched it. The feedback has been quite positive so far, and of course, I’m delighted about that!
By the way, if you’re an Izzy Video Member, then you get $20 off the price of the course. Simply login to the members area and you’ll find a coupon code. If you’re not a Member, and you’re interested in learning Final Cut Pro, this is a great time to become a Member.

Finally, if you have additional recommendations regarding outputting video for the web after watching the video, please post any comments here. I’d love to read additional strategies.
Of course, you can leave any comment you want. It doesn’t have to be an exporting strategy.
