This blog is about my journey back into the graphic design industry after a brief pause from the turbulent arena. This journey will encompass new technologies I encounter along the way as well as my exploration into social media outlets.
If you have ever used a 3D modeling program you know that you can usually create 3D text objects. You should also be able to add a bevel to your text AND add a fancy profile to the text edge simply by clicking on a button. Not so easy in Blender. What I mean by not so easy is you cannot simply click a button and have the profile appear onto your text. You have to do a little more work in Blender which also means, in a good way, having a little more control over your profile.
Today I wanted to share a video with you about animating text within Screenflow, Telestream's application for capturing video, audio and screen activity on your desktop. If you have ever watched a video tutorial on YouTube chances are it was created using Screenflow or one of the many other screen capture applications. All of my YouTube video tutorials on Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator are created using Screenflow. I chose Screenflow because it was built for the Mac from the ground up. Easy to use, Screenflow allows you to capture, add audio, images, and edit everything from your screen to tell your story. In this video tutorial I will show how to create text effects inside Screenflow to make your animated video tutorial dynamic and entertaining as well as instructional. If you have ever wanted to create a "How To" video, I would strongly suggest checking out Screenflow from Telestream.
