Dude sweet! Really stoked your doing all these screen capture tutorials lately!
That brushed metal effect is really easy, wow! Sadly that screencast wasn’t in HD so the effects are a bit difficult to recognize.
Thanks, Rogie!
Matt, I’ll re-upload the HD version and update this post in a bit!
Dude — been loving these videos. Only suggestion: post this so it’s viewable on iPhone OS devices.
Keep up the great work!
Shaun, I’m working on that. Really, I want Vimeo to release an HTML5 <video> embed tag…
Thank you so much for this tutorial!
I’ve been looking around for hints about how to do this in Fireworks and yours is just what I was looking for.
Thanks!
Great tut’ Rogie, very well explained, clear and really useful.
Thanks :)
Awesome, I was watching the tutorial and was like “oh sweet texture, wish someone would make a how-to”, and BAM, you and your tutorials strike again!
Here is a way to embed your vimeo videos to play on the iphone and ipad.
