Pan/Zoom/Rotate/Center with your mouse

[thedom]

I thought it would be useful if I would create short video clips of tips and tricks I use in PicturesToExe.

When I added the comments to the video, I realized I didn't leave enough time.

I will certainly take more next time in order for you to read and watch the video.

Anyway, if the feedback is positive, I will record others videos from time to time.

Please tell me me what your think.

This tutorial is played by default in SD quality in the forum.

- click

- then click the second icon in from the right of the display viewer.

Dom,

You've just taught this old dog a new trick! I didn't know that you could click on the words Pan, Zoom, Rotate and get back to defaults. There will be times when that will save a lot of work. Thanks for the Tips.

regards,

Peter

Hehehe, I'm glad I could show you something new for you Peter.

You're right, this tip can be a good time saver sometimes.

Hi Dom

You asked for comments, trying to read the text at the same time as watching what was going on was difficult for me, a verbal description would have been easier to follow, I undertand why you have done it that way if you are not fluent in English?

Thank you all for your positive comments.

This tip was only a draft and I will record this video again (in a different way) and leave more time to read the instructions.

But I am not fluent in english enough to record my voice, sorry.

Actually, I have a lot of mini tips in mind.

I will record tips for beginners, medium and advanced users.

Stay tuned.

This was a very good tutorial and this old dog learnt a few new tricks.

Actually, I have a lot of mini tips in mind.

I will record tips for beginners, medium and advanced users.

It would be great to see you produce more tutorials along these lines.

The only thing I ask is that as well as posting on YouTube you make the file available for downloading as I like to have it running on my PC and pause then go into PTE and try out the tips. This is much easier if I have the video on my PC, and then I don't need IE running as well, thanks.

Hello jfa, thank you for your feedback.

I do not have enough free space to upload the tutorials on my server.

But you can download the tutorial in a few clicks.

This procedure works for every videos on YouTube, DailyMotion, Vimeo, etc...

To download a video :

• copy the url of the video. For this tutorial, copy this url :
  
  
• Go to http://keepvid.com/
  
• Paste the url in the "URL" field and click on the "Download" Button
  
• Then click on "''Download'' (video.mp4 - HD Quality 1280x720) " to save it on your Hard Drive.

Thanks for that very useful information Dom.

I have downloaded the mp4 file successfully as directed, it runs on Qtime player but no picture.

One , more question if you don't mind, what player do you use to play MP4 files on?

[thedom]

John, I don't know if it's the last version available but I use Quick Time Player too, version 7.6.4.

I just downloaded the tutorial on YouTube to be sure and it plays without any problem.

Dom

It may be that I don't have QTime PRO just the free version.

I have been able to play your MP4 file with the good old reliable VLC Media Player so I will stick with it for MP4s.

Thanks for putting the time into the tutorial and I am looking forward to the others when you produce them.
