Hey Sir Kramer,

If you need any help to translate your tutorials in French, let me know and I'll help you out.

I live in Eastern Canada (Montreal) and I usually speak French but my Canadian citizenship force me to know both English and French. I'm not a typing machine but I can handle a good flow of words...

Hope I'll get some feedback !

Simon,

Votre humble serviteur.

can u make a tutorial on disintegrating cuz i am making a movie and i need to know how to do it so can u plz do a tutorial on dat cuz u are reallie good
17 years ago
hey there,
not sure if someone asked this already. (dont want to read through all 100 and sum comments) but with adding subtitles will you be able to search through a tutorial based on a word search? that would be most radical.

also, recieved the bullet dvd. excellent work. i use to pound my head working in c4d. just seeing how to properly set up a file and key commands saved me so much frustration.
thanks. great work!

When you need someone to translate the tutorials into german I'm your man. Why? I'm from Germany My english is good enough to understand your tutorials und most of your jokes The best is: I have vacations for the next 9 months and nothing to do in this time. So give me an answer if you're interestet.

Hi there i'm willing to help put in the time if needed. I know you have a blog full of volunteers talking about their typing skills, so what stands out about me, hmmm... yes i'm up there in the mid 60 wpm... this year is my 10th year in the United States chAIR Force! (yes i represent the behind the desk pencil pushers ), i know how to correctly spell "you're" when most people spell it "your," if i end up picking my nose while transcribing your videos, i promise to wipe my boogers or what ever else comes out of there on a napkin and wash my hands before i touch the keyboard again, which in turn keeps your words Andrew, at the highest level of uberness without degregating the quality of.......

*jeopardy theme*

sorry i picked my nose, just got back from washing my hands... i forgot what i was going to say! darn it... i guess you're not the only one with a sense of humor on this thing Andrew...

Hi again Andrew...fantastic news that you are going to include subtitles in future tutorials. I have a few hearing impaired students that use your website to learn After Effects (as we have spoken about before) that would greatly benefit from this. There are many video based learning resources on the web now for all the different areas of Screen & Multimedia production, but unfortunetly very few are subtitled. My wife is also hearing impaired and after struggling for 4 & 1/2 years at uni, with non-subtitled online resources, your announcment is really encouraging to both her & the deaf community. Can videocopilot get any better! Legends.
Cheers.

I have teleprompter experience via my work at God's Learning Channel, a Christian television station operating out of Texas. I have been typing - aye, in English :p - since I first learned how to use a Commodore 64 way back in Elementary School. I can do approx. 80 words per minute and consider myself fairly skilled with the latest version of Microsoft Office.

Hello Andrew. If it is not too late, I would love to be one of the candidates to transcribe the tutorials. I am a pretty good speller and have good grammar - I know how and when to use colons, hyphens, commas, ect. I'm not sure if it matters or even if you are still taking applicants; however, I am a sixteen-year-old U.S. resident (employment at my age is legal in the state I am in) and I am more than happy to transcribe the tutorials.

Hey Andrew Krammer, I'm your big Fan for a while! I saw this post and thought on something nice, i don't know if thats the ideia, but i'm sure if you need help i'll be the first on the list. to translate these tutorial to other languages. I from Brazil and I got alot of friends that would like to watch your tutorials but don't know much english. So if you translate. Its something to think, I don't know what's your ideia about this.

...so i dont have time to fart, even :]

...Guys, i think as a graditude, we should all just help,and give a hand...
This is really not sucha big deal. If everyone trancripts just One tutorial-well share the load off one person having to do it all, And itll go Much faster. i guess itll take 1 hour of your life to dedicate to it.....just to show how thankful the community is for what AK is doing here.

if youre into it-the only thing we need to sort out is who transcripts what.. :]
ill be happy do to it after the 15th [=date of my last exam...thank god! :]

I'd sure as hell do it for a little store credit. I'm 81 words per minute, so I can probably type about as fast as you talk on the tutorials. I would die for this opportunity.

Hey whats up, Andrew Kramer here for Video Copilot Dot Net, And welcome to another very exciting After Effects tutorial.
Today were going to take a look creating some energy inside of After Effects so heres what were going to be doing

Okay so we have a whole bunch of particle layers, we have these paper particles, we have energy particles, the twister and of course the FedEx truck down here.
Okay lets go ahead and get started, I'm going to take our New York shot drag it into the new comp button create a new comp, this is a shot I took while I was in New York and ah it came in handy cause now were using it for a new tutorial

--------------

This is from the last tutorial (68. Energy) , took me about 45 seconds to do this much
But I did not check Spelling or Grammar
