Video Production 2: Adobe Premiere and Audition
Now that we have the Camtasia edits (zooming, text boxes, etc) done, it’s time to finalize our audio and video. By using Adobe’s Premiere and Audition programs (CS5.5), we’ll be able to master the sound and final output of our tutorial.
Video Production 1: Groundwork
In this video we’ll be going over the basics for setting up an outline for your tutorial, as well as implementing that outline into your workflow. We’ll also be going over some basic video editing techniques using Camtasia, including adding zooms and graphics, as well as properly exporting to the web.
Video Production: The Tutorial We’ll be Making
Take a good look at this tutorial. How are the steps setup in order to make the video flow smoothly and make it easier for the viewer to follow along with what is happening on screen? Tomorrow, we’ll be going over how this is made, from the outline through exporting to the web.
Video Production: A Note on Hardware
Okay ladies and gents, just another quick note before we get started.
Video Production: Intro
In this brand spankin’ new series, we’re going to take a look at video production and how to utilize it at work, for your portfolio, or even……….your OWN cadjunkie tutorial!
Designing patterns in Photoshop
Since we’ve been working on the ArchViz 2011 series lately, I needed to design a pattern for use in the leaded glass windows in the final image. When I design patterns, I tend to use Photoshop’s Smart Objects to preview the pattern in real-time.
Rapid concept from sketchup to solidworks
cadjunkie and entrepreneur Andre Dettler tells us a bit more about his rapid concept ideation workflow using Sketchup, SolidWorks, and Photoview 360. Great stuff, dre!
Q&A: Equations in SolidWorks
In this quick video we’ll be taking a look at Expressions in NX and SolidWorks 2012′s Equation Editor, which are very similar to say the least! You’ll be adjusting those dimensions verrrry easily in no time people!

Q&A: 3D Splines in SolidWorks
We’ll be in SolidWorks today with a question from user Peter, who is having troubles constraining splines in 3D Space. Using geometry we created in NX in our last Q and A, we’ll be looking at comp curves and how to create smooth surfacing similar to what we achieved in NX.
Q&A: Gunmetal Finish in modo
