I think this would be great for sig makers of all levels, we could see techniques and how one goes around making a sig.

What we'd need is a screen capture software, and since we all "aquired" photoshop we should have no problems "aquiring" a screen capture program.

Once I get myself a screen cap program and upload my video Ill post it kthnx.

That camstudio thing is great, the quality of the video is perfect. (If you download and use the CamStudio Lossless codec anyway)

now, anyone know somewhere to host it that wont totally butcher the quality? one I just uploaded to youtube degraded so badly you couldn't read the menus or settings in PS which made it pointless to watch.

should I include everything? Because usually I take a couple of attempts at different things, and then decide on something in the end. What I begin with isn't always what I end up with.

I'm the same.. Half my sigs completely change colour in the course of me making it.

I'll be making one as soon as I get PS back.

Nevermind. Takes too long and I even forget the steps I used to make my Crysis sig.

Frankly, the whole "this is how i made this incredibly complicated thing" tutorials are pretty pointless, better doing a quickie on how to use a colour adjustment layer properly or something like that and let people go do their own thing with it, better to have 40 short vids each outlining a technique each than 1 video using all those 40 techniques and confusing the shit out of people who are just trying to learn.

BTW tried Stage6, can't recode the camstudio vids to DivX, DivX Converter doesn't know what to do with them unless i use one of the crappy codecs and then it goes shitty quality.

So the question stands, anyone know a video host that wont butcher the quality?

I could use it, but it wouldn't explain how I made the things.

i want someone to post one!
i have no clue about anything that involves making sigs, and nor do i even want to make them

it just fascinates me to see how ppl make such cool looking things using a computer program.

dailymotion works awesome i think, i uploaded a few vids there and they came out perfect, and they are a lot bigger than youtube, and loaded a lot faster that youtube i thought

Nah same thing, too fuzzy to read anything

Just tried Putfile despite people slating it, and lo and behold, pixel perfect playback! lol, think I'll be using that.
