SCO0089 - iPhoto Hints & Tips - Part 3 - Extra! Only Show

iphoto
This week I thought I'd bring you the third part of the iPhoto hints and tips series of shows. The two main areas left were surrounding Keyword Management and Library Management so this weeks show looks at a couple of free applications and takes you through some different options for sharing your iPhoto library. The show covers:

Using Keywords in iPhoto
Keyword Assistant
Using Multiple iPhoto Libraries
Sharing an iPhoto Library between multiple users on the same machine
Sharing an iPhoto Library between multiple users on different machines

This particular show is one of the monthly Extra! member only shows, so you need to be an Extra! member to access the full show. Extra! membership also brings you such benefits as the next 6 months worth of shows in HD, access to Members only content plus immediate access to over 90+ screencasts from the ScreenCastsOnline archive. All for a ridiculously low one-off payment. Checkout this link for more details.

SCO0083 - iPhoto 6 - Part 2

iphoto
Part 2 in a short series on one of the most popular applications in the iLife '06 suite. I wanted to follow on from Part 1 published last year with a look at Slideshows and Books. So this weeks show looks at:

Configuring iPhoto for Quick Startup
Creating iPhoto Slideshows
Adding Music to Slideshows
Exporting to iDVD and Quicktime
iPhoto Books
Exporting to iDVD, Quicktime and PDF
Appearance Tips
Enhancing the Red Eye and Retouch Tools

Also this week is another first in that I asked for hints and tips from the ScreenCastsOnline viewers in advance of the show, so I could incorporate them into this weeks show and give out a few name checks.

The response was so good, I'll probably have to do a part 3, but I promise not to leave such a long gap this time!

Thanks to all those who responded and if your tip isn't in this show, you never know, it may be in the next!

SCO0073 - iWeb - Extra! Only Show

life06
Another Extra! only show this week and I complete the series on iLife 06 by covering iWeb.

iWeb is a very simple, template based, web creation tool which allows you to produce stunning results with very little effort.

I haven't given up on Rapidweaver as my web creation tool of choice but for someone looking to put together a very attractive website with the minimum of effort, iWeb could be just the job!

What is impressive is the amazing integration between iWeb and all the other iLife O6 applications. So rather than just look at the basics of iWeb, this screencast shows you how to publish enhanced and video podcasts with iWeb using iTunes, Garageband, iPhoto and iMovie HD. All these applications have their own screencasts available just look at the iLife 06 category iLife 06 categoryon the ScreenCastsOnline website.

Following on from the recent SiteGround episode, this show revisits publishing your iWeb website to a third party hosting provider.

SCO0056 - iMovieHD - Extra! Only Show

imovielogo


Well it's the first week of the month so this weeks show is for Extra! members.

I've decided to do a show on one of the most requested topics and that's iMovie HD, part of the iLife '06 suite.

iMovie and iDVD have long been two of my favourite applications on the mac and to be honest, if you've got a camcorder, it's worth buying a mac just for these two applications alone!

The show takes you through the basics of iMovie HD and uses HD footage to demonstrate the basic workflow and features. The latest version of iMovie HD can appear a little confusing especially with the new themes so the screencast takes you through these step by step. The Extra! show covers....

Introduction to HD and DV format
Capturing clips from your Camcorder
Basic Clip editing
Creating a Timeline
Adding Titles
Adding Transitions
Adding and Editing a Music Track
Exploring and Using iMovie HD Themes
Exporting your Finished Movie

SCO0043 - iPhoto 6 Tutorial - Part 1 - Extra! Only Show

iphoto
Well here it is! The very first ScreenCastsOnline Extra! only show. The show follows on from the extremely well received show from last week covering GarageBand and looks at the new iPhoto 6 - part of the iLife 06 suite (Duration 28 mins)

The show covers...

iPhoto 6 Basics including Importing Photos, Editing, Organising Photos, Using Keywords, Smart Albums

New iPhoto functions including Photocasting and Full Screen Editing

Integration with Flickr including exporting to Flickr, FlickrExporter plugin and off line Storage


Flickr integration shows you how you can use a free Flickr account to act as an offline storage facility to backup all your iPhoto photos. It also touches on using Flickr to share your photos with friends and family if you haven't got (or don't want to pay for) a .mac account.

Future shows will examine other functionality within iPhoto such as iWeb integration, calendars, photobooks and iDVD integration and we'll also be looking at a full show dedicated to Flickr.
