New Feature for Video Player
June 16th, 2010

Our tutorial video player now allows dynamic scrubbing. Basically you can skip to any part of the tutorial without having to download the entire video first.

Benefits:

  • Re-watch specific parts or tips quicker
  • Skip over bad (but hilarious) jokes
  • Watch tutorials in chunks and skip ahead on demand
  • Skip over tutorial info and listen to only jokes

Give it a try

Another thing we are working on is the ability to catalog chapter points for easier reference and tracking of in-depth tutorials.

This isn't working on all the tuts. I've been trying to get through "Soul Removal" for about 3 days. I have to keep starting the tut over! Not only does my footage look like it's soul is being removed, but I feel like a piece of my own soul is being removed every time I have to start over! LOL

Thanks for all you do!

That's great, thank you.

Now I can replay those bits that I am too slow to absorb in the first instance as well as being able to replay the jokes over and over too!

Chapters function is useful like the rev3 one.
Also some rev3 fans don't catch some phrases... but I say:
"it's not Oprah! Learn the basics & watch the screen!" so please... DON'T INCLUDE TRANSCRIPTS (^___^)

NOOOOO, it backfired now I have to watch it straight through.
For example I want to see something at the end of the tutorial it have to watch the whole thing through.

You're jokes and personality truly make learning from your tutorials fun and easy. I appreciate your sense of humor and cannot thank you enough for all I've learned watching the tuts. Make more products so I can buy more.

It's very helpfull when you were watching a tutorial, and suddenly you close the window by mistake, and you had to watch it all over again...
Now, we can skip till the point we were watching!

I've been waiting for this :p . Especially when I used to have a very slow 2mb internet connection. I had to wait for 15 minutes to get to the end of a tutorial that I hadn't got enough time to watch through the day before.

V.useful feature - thanks. Do you think you could also add a bookmark feature so we can bookmark bits we know we will use in the future? This may mean we need to log into the site, but that's a small price to play. Just an idea ...

Sweet. Now I can fast forward to my favorite jokes, without having to listen to all that tutorial stuff.

Man you just can't stop getting better, can you? Really helpful when I need to go back to a tutorial for a specific part and not having to reload the whole thing. Then again who in their sane mind would wanna skip anything you say, specially the jokes. Thanks for sharing you knowledge with us.

JK I love you man.
15 years ago
Fantastic - I like to watch the whole thing as each tutorial is launched but when I have time to actually follow the tutorial then this feature will help a great deal in skipping to the parts I want to refresh my mind with.

Often I adapt parts of your tutorial to use in my own projects so being able to skip to the bits of interest makes it a lot easier.

I know there has been several times I have accidentally hit the play button instead of the pause button and had to wait until the entire tutorial has reloaded from scratch.

So thank you for this feature

That's nifty. I've been wondering why that feature hasn't been on this site's players. This makes it less annoying to go back and re-watch things that I might have missed or forgotten. Glad to see it fixed
