I love screencasts because they’re fairly simple to produce, and they’re an excellent way to show something visually. However, sometimes I watch screencasts that have poor levels of quality (usually on YouTube). While I might be intrigued by the content, the production quality is low and the videos are difficult to watch because of this.
If you’re looking for a way to increase the quality of your screencasts, then this installment of Izzy Video will give you a big boost. In it, I reveal four secrets to making a high-quality screencast.

Many of you have asked me to release some more Motion tutorials, so that’s what this week’s Izzy Video is all about.
Motion is very powerful, and my personal opinion is the best way to learn it is one concept at a time. In this brief tutorial, I demonstrate an interesting way to use an Anchor Point in a 3D environment.

This installment of Izzy Video introduces the concept of Keyframes inside of Final Cut Pro. Although Final Cut Pro isn’t built around animating video, it has plenty of functionality. If you’d like to animate video clips, objects, or text, then this tutorial should be helpful in getting you started.

Several viewers have asked me how I create the intros and outros for the different shows I produce. The answer is that I use Apple’s Motion. It’s extremely powerful, and in this video tutorial, I show the basics of how to use particles in Motion. The particle emitter is very useful, but it can be overwhelming to somebody who is new to Motion. I try to make it easy for you.
I also briefly show how to create particles in a 3D environment for a very cool effect.

In this video tutorial, we’re back inside Apple’s Motion for a new tutorial. I show how to animate a drawing line on a map. This is a classic animation used to show someone’s trip around the world, but the technique can also be used for a variety of other purposes. For example, you can use it to circle something on the screen, to show the path a football player is going to run, and so on.
It’s a very simple effect to create, and I thought it might be a helpful one.
