I was about 13 when he did his TV specials and at that time I was VERY serious about becoming a magician. Now I'm 24 and working hard to improve my VFX. Only recently did I come to the conclusion that the reason I love both so much is cause I love to fool the eye and the brain into thinking it's seeing something that isn't there and vice versa. Aharon!- Whatever Andrew says...You are WAAAAAY cooler than the Val Valentino (AKA "The Masked Magician"). I can't even put into words how much cooler you are than him......you too Andrew. sorry for the off topic post but I laughed inside when I saw it. Andrew!- I loved masked magician reference.

I have been following you for a long time, and I always wanted to know where did you get that great flash video player you use in your video tutorials. Did you build it your own? Thanks! Hi all.

It works for me. The bigger you go, the larger the file size needs to be, and I really want my content to be accessible to as many people as possible. My latest DVD was captured at 1024x768. I was working with a lot more than AE, and needed the screen real estate. But I output my tutorials at that resolution and at 800x600 for those with slower machines.

You do that for all your tutorials? It would seem 800x600 is kinda small in this world of CRAZZY HD everywhere... So do you take your screen resolution down to 800x600, or just capture a 800x600 section of your screen? Do you capture higher for your DVD's? Andrew: Do you do the same thing? Capture large, and shrink? It seems the VCP tutorials are 1024x768, I think. Do you just capture a 1024x768 box? thanks guys -ross Aharon Rabinowitz: Thanks man. You do that for all your tutorials?

Someone somewhere screwed up. I like it. mark - I think after giving away about 8-9 hours of free video tutorials, you’d think I’d have shown enough to convince you. But it’s still a good point. I hope to release another meatier chapter in the near future. J – We may have been separated at birth, but he got all the looks. Tobias – Andrew is funnier hands down. My target audience is males… who are my age… who are… me. If anyone else laughs then I consider it a bonus! Everyone else – thanks for the compliments and support! Andrew – Thanks for the plug. You rock, buddy. Ross Gerbasi – I capture at 800 x 600, scale down to 320 x240 and zoom in and out with AE.
