Apple Motion - TV Screen Part 4
by Orin Jenkins

I think it's great that people are willing to spend their time creating tutorials for those of us out here who need help the software manufacturers can't seem to put into plain English. However, I would like to see Creative Cow provide these giving people with some guidelines so that their video tutorials fit the computer screen without having to continually scroll up and down to se the whole content. I know scrolling is fine for written tutorials, but video tutorials need to fit the computer screen so we can sit back and learn without having to keep out fingers on the scroll controls.

Thanks:
