Smartfade Training videos

Here is a link to the software I used to make these

http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.asp

They offer a free trial use for 30 days so you can decide to buy or not. So you can do your videos within 30 days for free!

The software is so easy to use. You just use the Virtual SmartFade software and record what you do on the screen. I can give you the ones I did and you can narrate over in Norwegian as another option. The software allows you to replace the audio with your own.

See if you like or can use the software and I will help you as I can.

 Thanks for the post!

 Can you tell me if the Smartfade user documentation, tutorials and Virtual Smartfade software are copyright protected ? The CD that comes with the console only has the user manual on it and I would like to create a CD that also has the tutorials and virtual console software on it. I am lighting director for two different amateur theatre organizations and would like to be able to distribute this CD to people that voluteer to help run the console.

 I have only been using the console about 6 months but I love it. And the tutorials are awesome. I was able to load everything onto my laptop at Thanksgiving and spend part of the weekend going thru the tutorials while following along in Virtual Smartfade.

Thanks

Is there a newer link to the videos?  I realize this is an older posting  but I haven't been able to track anything newer down.

Thanks!

Hi David,

So it looks like there used to be basic Smartfade training videos but they have now been replaced by Smartfade ML training videos.  I'm going to be installing a basic Smartfade in a facility with a lot of people who don't know anything about lighting.  So having training videos where the console on screen matches the console they are looking at is critical.  I'm afraid they will only get confused watching the Smartfade ML videos.  Is there any way I can get a copy of the old videos? 

Thanks,

Gaff

Hi,

Sorry, those videos came down for a while but we have reposted this series in the Tutorials section of our etcconnect site: http://www.etcconnect.com/support.tutorialseries.aspx?seriesId=10

as well as our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/ETCVideoLibrary#grid/user/D9B1D673AF5226C3

Note that these tutorials were made with version 1.6 software, but the basic concepts still hold.

Hope this helps,

David Geel

Thanks,

   I hadn't received the Smartfade yet when I posted this.  I was happy to find a training DVD came with it, so it looks like there are several options.

I frequently refer people to these videos.

We deal with a lot of churches and small venues that tend to have volunteer turn-over issues. I would love to see the videos updated to match the current software and production values.

Video #4 "working with sequences" refers to the following video as being about working with stacks. Where did that one go?

This series was sooo helpful when training volunteers in our community theatre. It is a pity the original Smartfade series is no longer available.
