Izzy Video tutorials make it easy to learn video.

The iPad is an excellent device for watching videos. The question is: What is the best way to optimize video for the iPad’s display?

There are many ways to do it. This video will give you a couple different options, and the techniques will work on both PC’s and Macs.

A couple weeks ago I mentioned in my newsletter that I was turning old VHS and 8mm video into digital video to store on hard drives. Since then, I’ve received many emails from viewers asking me to show how to convert analog video to digital video.

This members-only edition of Izzy Video will show you the exact steps to take.

As an additional note, I want to emphasize that I feel this is a high priority for people in the world today. We don’t know how much longer we’ll be able to get ahold of VCR’s and 8mm video cameras. If you have old video, please don’t procrastinate. Convert that old footage to digital. This will give you a digital master you can use for a number of different things in the future.

Enjoy the video. You can download the trailer here.

Sometimes when you try to add a transition in Final Cut Express, it doesn’t work. You might see an error. Or you might not show you an error, but it still doesn’t work. Or you might be able to add a transition, but you can’t increase the duration of it.

Final Cut Express can be tricky with transitions sometimes. If you’re having trouble adding transitions to your sequence in Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro, this video should help.

I have received this same question from many different viewers, and rather than answer them all individually, I thought it would make sense to make a video that shows you:

• Why does a transition problem happen in Final Cut Express?
• How do you fix the problem?
• How to work around it if it’s not something you CAN fix

This video applies to both Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro.

I hope you find it helpful.

If you think about it, a video camera is similar to a regular still camera shooting 30 frames per second. There ARE some huge differences, but it’s definitely possible to export a single frame from your video in 1080p and then print it as a 4×6 photo. I’ve done it, and it looks pretty darn good.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you a simple way to export a single frame of video for printing or for posting to the web…or really whatever you want to do with it. Also, I’ll show you how to export a sequence of images.

This tutorial is for members only, but you can watch the trailer here.

UPDATE: I’ve had a few viewers tell me that their version of Quicktime doesn’t allow exporting like I show in this video. I guess I have Quicktime Pro and didn’t even realize it (It must have been installed with Final Cut Studio or something.) Sorry about the confusion… I suppose it’s not quite a free method for doing things. :-(

If you’re shooting video of a live event, it’s best to have several cameras capturing at the same time. Generally, the more angles you have on the action, the better.

This installment of Izzy Video is how to edit the footage from all of those cameras. The application I use in the tutorial is Final Cut Pro, but you can likely do similar things in other editing applications.

If you want to know how to switch between different camera angles inside Final Cut Pro, you’ll love this video.

Please note: The project files will only work in Final Cut Pro 7.

This one is for members only, but you can watch the Quicktime trailer here.
