I haven’t had great success trying to run Windows audio tools in my MacBook Pro running BootCamp and Windows XP. I have had some VERY serious crashes that lock my machine so hard that I have to pull batteries and do some nasty restarts as nothing else works. None of the normal reset key combinations, etc., works. I have been very frustrated with it all and so I run my Windows software under Windows and my Mac stuff on a Mac. The Promised Land of Mac/Windows running parallel has been no Land of Milk and Honey for me.
If you find any answers, I am all ears…well, except for the arms, legs, and the rest of me.
Best regards,

Please use the search engine in the Cow as this question has been answered over and over.
But in a nutshell, yes, they use Camtasia for the most part and compress using Sorenson Squeeze. The iPod tutorial versions are compressed to H.264 and are 320×240. Most of the others are the same size but are usually encoded using MPEG and not H.264.

We remove any and all posts that have to do with pirate software and so if that was what you were referring to by your “is there somewhere I can download it for free” remark, you will find no help here to do things like that.

[Tim Kolb] “Stinton’s buying.”
Andy always buys, it is one of those foundational truths upon which one can rest one’s head.
It’s always amazed me that no matter the size of the crowd, Andy always buys. Always. You gotta love him.
Thanks, Andy!

[LoopCorp] “In theory this will work brilliantly, making AE function like Live Picture (remember that?)”
Yes, I remember Live Picture, the one-time $4,995 photo/imaging program. It was a great imaging program. It ended up going through HSC Software and into a short stint as MetaTools Live Picture (later MetaCreations). Then John Sculley (who ran Apple in the mid-to-late 80s) took over the product and running the Live Picture company until it was bought by MGI Software (which was later acquired by Roxio in a bankruptcy auction, Roxio was then bought by Sonic Solutions). Today, Live Picture is now PhotoSuite and is a Windows-only program that is owned by Roxio/Sonic and is marketed as…

…for $29.99.
How the mighty have fallen.

[Tim Wilson] “Anyone know if it was for iFinish or 844/x? I never knew.”
It was for the system that ended up being called Finish, although the board used was to underlay KeyGrip (not iFinish). KeyGrip took too long to finish and it’s one of the reasons that Media 100 took a slap at the KeyGrip team with the name, Finish. Humor, you gotta love it. Media 100 went with Plan B — in this case, B stood for bad and Finish never really caught on much.
If you remember, at that time I used to guest on technology TV shows, etc., on behalf of Media 100 and John Molinari (CEO of M100) brought me and Kathlyn to the Macromedia roll-out party in Sept of 1996. There, we met Bud Colligan (founder of MacroMind, which had just become Macromedia about that time), Peter Hoddie, (the mind behind Quicktime) and others who were at the unveiling party which was held as a part of Macromedia World Developers Conference.
The big news of the party and on-screen at the conference was that the Mac was in serious trouble and most of the companies there were making their first showings of their up-to-then Mac-only products running on Windows. Oddly, KeyGrip was Quicktime based and in the meeting, they talked about the reasons for this and the advantages of this. Even Pinnacle’s ace engineer Loren (can’t remember his last name at the moment) got up and talked about their Quicktime-based (what would end up being the) TargaCine board that would come and would also use KeyGrip as its front-end. It did come and was called Cin

It is a combination of a lot of shooting angles and clean shots into which the woman is composited (overlaid) and under whom all the clean shots are getting a combination of morphs and other techniques that I am sure were quite time-consuming. The resolution is too ragged to tell if the environmental shots are 3D or naturally filmed. I’d opt for the filming idea, myself. There is no magic plug-in that is going to do this for you. It is a lot of pre-conceptual work and then getting the right shots into the can. From there, the magic happens.
That’s my take on it but if others have a more educated idea, I am all ears myself.
