The addy it gives is "www.videomaker.com/article/14452"</p> <p>I've found the article, but there is no link to see the test video.</p> <p>ALSO, it there a cache of searchable test videos on the site? I'm having issues finding this type of section.  I keep on getting wrangled into the tips and tricks area.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/new-website-design#post-51200 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 03:15:37 +0000 Eventvideoguy 51200@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>It's much better that the change you made last year when the entire functionality changed.  My first thought when I looked at it was.  "Oh crap! am I going to have to re learn this entire thing again.  I just got used to the new one."</p> <p>Thanks for not doing a complete overhall.  The new look is really nice.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/new-website-design#post-51198 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 23:01:59 +0000 robgrauert 51198@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>i like the color scheme, but i still feel like the site is cluttered. I mean, it's not like i have a hard time finding stuff. It just feels cluttered.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/new-website-design#post-51197 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 20:38:58 +0000 aclark 51197@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thanks for the feedback grinner.</p> <p>The ads load last. If they're loading slowly you shouldn't have to wait for them. However that depends upon which web browser you use. It looks like you're using Internet Explorer 7. IE7 doesn't render pages very fast. It tends to wait until every bit of the page has been downloaded.</p> <p>If you don't mind, give Firefox, Chrome, Opera or Safari a try. Or even upgrade to IE8. I've noticed a huge speed increase between IE7 and IE8. IE8 even has a compatibility mode to handle sites that were designed for IE7 but don't handle IE8 too well.</p> <p>BTW, for this latest site redesign we did drop support for IE6. Many major sites have also <a title="YouTube Will Be Next To Kiss IE6 Support Goodbye" href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/14/youtube-will-be-next-to-kiss-ie6-support-goodbye/">dropped support for IE6</a>.</p> <p>-Andy</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/new-website-design#post-51193 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 17:26:15 +0000 grinner 51193@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> the ads take way too long to load. Makes each page inoperable for too long to hang with.</p> <p> </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/new-website-design#post-51162 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 14:15:23 +0000 birdcat 51162@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>It was initially a shock to see other than the epected format but so far everything works pretty much as before so I'm cool with it.</p> <p>The look doesn't make much of a difference to me as long as the feel remains close.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/new-website-design#post-51161 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 12:56:13 +0000 XTR-91 51161@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>For a moment, I thought I'd been thrown into WordPress again. The design and color schemes look nice, giving it a more pro-style commercial look. A newbie might be confused finding their way around, but that's basically how they are with just about any new website. Various things that were previously problem have now been improved.</p> <p> </p> <p>Great work</p> <p> </p> <p>Here's something else that's been a problem from a while back:</p> <p>Ã????Ã???

There are plenty of people that I have seen post in a "general" forum without getting a straightforward response. These new forums will also draw more event experts to answering questions on a specific forum. It's sort of a strange sight seeing a forum with 0 threads and 0 posts, but it will pick up quickly.</p> <p>One thing that people like seeing is features being added, while having the same use and feel as before. The Videomaker forums are very good with that. The usability has not changed much for over 6 months (how long I've been registered). Some programmers and web page writers (Microsoft Windows I'll have to name) are known for using an old building platform and creating new software that doesn't run effeciently.</p> <p>- Nice going</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/new-forums#post-48917 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 23:54:12 +0000 cfulton 48917@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>We're experimenting with a few new forums, under the heading Specialty Topics, which you will find at the bottom of the main list of forums. Tell us what you think about them. We're curious to see how useful they are in stoking new discussions, and, in turn, making our common craft of video more rewarding for everyone involved.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/possible-freelance-gigs-with-videomaker#post-48901 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 14:44:30 +0000 VideoChick 48901@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>CALL FOR VIDEO INSTRUCTORS AND VIDEO PRODUCT REVIEWERS FOR VIDEOMAKER INC:</p> <p>Hey everyone! From time to time we have short-term, part-time, or work-from-home gigs available at Videomaker, and I thought I'd send a few along in the forums post to let you know what we're working on. I'm known as the "Content Wrangler" here at Videomaker, I hire the freelance writers, instructors, and producers for the magazine and website. </p> <p>Currently we're looking for instructors to teach at our workshops held at our headquarters in Chico California. These workshops cover three days, and the instructors MUST live close enough to to go home nightly, because we don't pay for hotel/motel expenses. </p> <p>We're also looking for more objective and savvy reviewers for the equipment that come through our doors. Again, our policy, in most cases, require you to live nearby as we try not to ship product across the country, [cost and time] and our policies don't allow the manufacturers to ship product directly to the reviewers. They must come through us. </p> <p>If you think you qualify, please read on. As always, I keep outside-the-area contacts on file, too, for writing our many columns and features, as well as possibly lecturing at our traveling conferences. So if you think you have what it takes to write about that subject we all love, VIDEO, please drop me a line.</p> <p>Jennifer O'Rourke</p> <p>OUR AD FOR REVIEWERS AND WORKSHOP LEADERS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA:</p> <p>Videomaker Inc., publisher of Videomaker Magazine, is looking for Northern California area Video Producers who can instruct on the concepts of video production and teach at our occasional workshops held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Videomaker headquarters in Chico. We are also seeking freelance candidates who can evaluate and review products for our magazine/website.</p> <p>VIDEO WORKSHOP INSTRUCTORS:</p> <p>Do you know how to produce video using consumer gear well enough to teach techniques to others? Do you understand the technology well enough to explain it? Do you have a command of the business or legal aspects of video production? Do you have tips to share with aspiring videographers? Do you speak well before groups?</p> <p>Instructors MUST have a good understanding of the basics of video production, including but not limited to: Lighting techniques, studio setup, location sound gathering, shooting techniques and video editing. The video editing segment of the workshops require the instructors to understand Adobe Premiere Pro and the ability to teach and perform the following editing techniques: insert editing using multiple video tracks, audio insert editing including dialog, music and sound effects, basic titles and uploading a finished project to our YouTube channel.</p> <p>Instructors will begin working with a class that has been in lectures in the morning on Fridays, taking the theory learned from those classes to practical use with production planning using shot sheets and story boards, followed by shooting the planned project in both studio and on location on Saturday and finally editing the finished product for a final showing and uploading to YouTube Sunday afternoon.</p> <p>Pay for the weekend is $400.</p> <p>There will be two or more tracks run simultaneously and the work hours are Friday from 1:00 to 5:00, Saturday form 8:00 to 5:00 and Sunday from 8:00 to 1:00. You must be available at all of the workshop times. No split schedules. The next workshop dates are August 7-9th 2009, October 9-11th 2009 and December 4-6th 2009.</p> <p>This link takes you to the Workshop events page on our website: <a href="http://events.videomaker.com/">http://events.videomaker.com/</a></p> <p>Only video producers with the skill level to teach a class on video production techniques should apply.</p> <p>VIDEO PRODUCT REVIEWERS:</p> <p>We also need skilled video producers with writing abilities to test product for review. These reviewers must have a good command of writing skills and the ability to objectively test video production equipment.
