Thanks Cory!

Thanks for the heads-up John. I always forget to check for new ones.

:( :( :( :(

If I download it to my desktop. I can hear it but all I get is a white screen. Is that happening to anyone else? It is like that for all of Corey's.
But our regular videos from the site or fine.

Kimi,
I just watched it without a hitch. What i did was sign in,click on the ad in the upper right corner. Than click on the download. I get a full screen quick time movie after it downloads. Hope this helps.

That is just what I did. Do you have IE7? I never have upgraded....
everyone was having so many video problems and mine worked. You know if it ain't broke don't fix it. :o

[Wags374]

I can't get quick time to work with the Killer Tips - have to open them with Real Player and then they work just fine.

[kimi_boo]

Jane you are a genius!! Works just fine. Thanks!! :D :D

[Wags374]

Every since I downloaded QuickTime Pro7 I haven't been able to veiw any quicktime videos. :mad: And I can't get any support from Apple for the problem either. :twisted:

Where are you getting the videos from? I get them using iTunes (along with other photoshop podcasts). And I can see them just fine there using quicktime - I can save them and they show up in Quicktime without any problems either.
Are you on a PC or Mac? That might help those who use that system to help you.

Pc - Windows XP Pro. I wasn't having any problems with my older version of QT Pro, but the upgrade .... :mad:

I have tried getting the Killer Tips through itunes, but had no luck. But if you are signed on as a subscriber and click on the Killer Tips box it takes you to a page where you can download them. I can then open them in Real Player. Same with the tutorial QT vids put out by Scrappers Guide. I have to open them with Real Player if I want to see anything other than a garish pink/green screen with crazy lines. Oh and I can hear the audio just fine.

And I can see the latest tutorials from Matt K and Corey just fine. Such a puzzle....

This morining I was able to download the Rule of thirds video without a problem. Now when I click on the site it is asking me to go through Itunes and when I get to Itunes it shows the videos in que but is asking me for an Itunes password. What's up with this. Do I have to be a member of Itunes to view the podcasts? If so, why was I able to view it this morning?

[nkeevers]

Help...mine is coming up in iTunes but it's in another language!:eek:

[chas3stix]

Kimi,
Quick time works just fine for me. I do have IE7 but Mozilla Firefox is my default web browser.
Chas

[nkeevers]

Oops, never mind because I got all 7 of them now!

[Cmcburnett]

Norma, hope you get to veiw the video and listen to it in English. Sorry, but that made me laugh.;)

I just viewed one of the videos on layer mask and it was great the blending mode tip was awesome. At the end of the video he gave me a helpful tip on the ruler and how I could change to inches, maybe now I can use the ruler. Thanks for bringing the videos to my attention.

[cstern]

I watched the latest KillerTips for Elements on Rule of Thirds and it is a great lesson to use for future pictures.

Worked for me too!!!! :)

As my late grandmother used to say "well bless your peaked little head" Fox54Black!!!! Thanks ever so much!

[nkeevers]

Norma, hope you get to veiw the video and listen to it in English. Sorry, but that made me laugh.;)

I have no idea why that happened!:eek: That was clicking on the link on this website. Then I decided to go into my iTunes and download it from there. Had no problem. Gosh, I was afraid I was going to have to learn....whatever that language was!!:D

[Wendy]

Norma ...

... Oh that did make me laugh ...

Subscribe to the site and you get to learn a new language for free :eek:

Wendy :D :D

[nkeevers]

Glad I gave everyone a laugh!

I went back this morning and tried clicking on killer tips again on the home page and it was back in English! Go figure!! I think some foreigner took control of my forum website yesterday and was holding it hostage!!:D :D

[Cmcburnett]

Norma, glad it works for you. They are really great videos. We really weren't laughing at you, its just we could see it happening to us also:D

[nkeevers]

Don't worry...I only said it as a joke! I was actually laughing when I saw it too! Computers...they drive me crazy sometimes!:mad:

[mswnow]

AHH not another one. I currently have 117 unwatched photoshop/ PSE podcasts waiting to be watched, thats like 7 hours of podcasts. Sounds like a new years resolution to me :) the ony problem is that a single podcast usually takes me about an hour to watch because I always pause them so that I can keep up with them in my own project. That will be by spring break :)

[msbrad]

Norma, Mine showed up in another language too! I think it s German.
I tried to download from the subscriber area-still not there yet.
Back to try it again.

[msbrad]

Well got some English out of it, but it keeps sending me to the ipod store. And I don't want to go there.

Hey, your bluebird's trying to fly!! That looks great!

[msbrad]

Thank you
figured out what I did wrong
a. originally saved as jpeg
b. once saved correctly as a .gof...
forgot to click animate :o (happy that Colleen made that suggestion)
Back to dodo.

Oh, I got the podcasts~in English.
Bill just got home and said we even have itunes on this computer. I never knew it.

[nkeevers]

Glad to hear that Michelle! You shouldn't have any problems getting the tips downloaded.

Well, gotta go! My hubby just got home from being in Boca all day. I've been on the computer a big part of the day and I'm now tired! My eyes are going batty!

I got Matt's book today. I was upset at the postmaster though because he crammed it in my mailbox!

[msbrad]

Another question, regarding Corey's video's.
I am able to watch them, but when I click the square to make them full scree, they are blurry, and pixelated.
What do y'all have the settings in the visualizer set to, on the menu bar?
Or is it just me
m

[nkeevers]

Well, mine is slightly blurry too! All I have set up is it to play in a separate window and my visualizer is on medium. I didn't see any other setting for podcasts.

I have iTunes version 6 and I know version 7 is out there but I wouldn't think that would be the problem. Maybe someone else will see this thread and know the answer.

[Fox54Black]

Worked for me too!!!! :)

As my late grandmother used to say "well bless your peaked little head" Fox54Black!!!! Thanks ever so much!

Lol, that's the first time I've ever heard that saying. Glad the tweak worked for you though.:)

[Fstop]

When I click on the podcast it takes me to Itunes. I can see the killer videos listed in the que and it says free. When I try to click on it ask me for a Itunes Id and password. I entered the requested info but then nothing happened. Any suggestions?

Steve

[kimi_boo]

why not just do... save target as and save to your desktop and watch.
I don't have iTunes. This is what I do.:D

[stepasan]

I have been able to watch the Rule of Thirds video. But I am unable to watch the others. When I click on "Get Episode" nothing happens.

Kimi, how did you save it to your desktop? I did a right-click, copied, and pasted to dsktop, but it did not work for me.

Assistance needed, please.

Stephen.

[Fstop]

Kim: The very first time I watched the rule of thirds video that's exactly what I did and it worked perfectly. Now when I try to access the videos it ask me to sign on to Itunes. It shows the videos in the Itunes que, And, even shows them as FREE. but I can't access them and when I do a Right click as you suggested, the "Right Click" option isn't available, just copy. I am a paid subscriber to elements, do I also have to be a paid subscriber to the podcasts? Thanks in advance for your reply.

All I do is right click on the download here, then save target as. and put it on my desktop. I am accessing it from the top right hand logo. Make sure you have signed in.

[stepasan]

Steve, I have found a solution. You must log in as a subscriber, and click on "Killer Top Videos" in the right column. It takes a minute of so to dewnload (depending on your internet speed).
