An Izzy Video Announcement

I’m excited to announce a change to Izzy Video. I’ve launched a new Premium Subscriber program. Here is what a Premium Subscriber receives:

  • The Archives — Premium subscribers get exclusive access to the archives of past Izzy Video tutorials (currently 55 episodes strong). The archives will no longer be available to free subscribers. However, I have made a few sample episodes available to help free subscribers determine if they would like to become premium subscribers.
  • Two Members-Only Episodes Per Month — Premium Subscribers will also receive two members-only episodes per month. My plan is to continue to produce free episodes and publish them on the free feed, but they will be at a lower resolution and published less frequently.
  • Higher Resolution Videos — The free tutorials will be low resolution, 320×240. The premium feed will be high resolution, 640×480.

A premium subscription will last for six months. During that time, you will have access to a members-only section of this site, where you can find the premium feed as well as direct links to the huge archive of Izzy Video tutorials.

The price for a six month premium subscription is $45.

When you add the 55 archive episodes, plus the 12 members-only episodes you’ll receive over the next 6 months, it totals to 67 episodes which will not be available to subscribers of the free feed. Let’s do the math: $45 dollars divided by 67 episodes = you’re only paying 67 cents per episode. When you consider the value of the content in the videos, I hope you’ll agree that $45 is a small price to pay.

Izzy Video 48 - The Fourth Light

My camera is still off at the shop, but I found some footage in my computer that I decided to use for this installment of Izzy Video. Try not to pay attention to the expression on Noell’s face. She was listening to a serious scientific talk via the internet, so she was hardly even aware that I was working around her.

:-)

This week’s installment of Izzy Video introduces the idea of four-point lighting, instead of the more frequently covered three-point lighting.

Izzy Video 47 - Fit to Fill

izzyvideo47

Because my camera is broken, I have no choice but to do more screen casts.

This installment of Izzy Video is for newcomers to Final Cut. In it, I show you how to use the “Fit to Fill” editing option. It’s extremely useful for timing video to music.

Please pardon the technical problems. There are a couple of audio and video glitches in this Izzy Video which I couldn’t get rid of. I believe it might have been a bug in the software I used to get the screen movies, Snapz Pro X from Ambrosia software. Usually it works great, so I’m not sure if I did something wrong. However, if I wait until everything’s perfect, I might never get this out!
