Test
Just a little forerunner of what I'm getting for Christmas. Basically it's the same tool television uses to produce news reports. Downloaded a trial version last night and quickly whipped up a mix of random phone images. Coupled with a real video camera and webcam it's possible to present voice reports to camera. That's the plan anyway.
Let me know if you have problems viewing, etc...




Hey Adrian
Perhaps just a bandwidth issue, but I can't connect... it tries and tries, but no result. Maybe too many people at once?
I'm running Mac OSx with FireFox.

Hi Adrian,
Merry Christmas! I've tried to view it with Firefox and with IE. I think Lost Budgie is right - bandwidth. Via IE I can see that something is trying to come down the line, but it just isn't getting very far very fast! And the kids want the PC to play with their new toys, so I can't stay to play. But I'll be back later!

Hmm, it worked when I first posted but now struggles to connect. Hopefully a busy server is the culprit.

Hi Adrian
I'm over at my sister's now - on a PC with IE. Everything works fine. Maybe the time (11:18pm Toronto time) and low traffic.
Merry Christmas.

Yowza Adrian,
Worked on my pc at 5.05 AM Atlantic Canadian time. _23.4 c here, but it is a clear crisp cold. Slightly warmer at my sisters in Asquith I’m told.
Have a good New Year man.

Cheers ol' cock; workin' fine here - had to hit reload once at the start but all good then. Looks like a great toy; I'll look forward to seeing some finished product.... Hope you're gettin' sponsored into it - looks like a pricey add on. Best wishes,

Okay, the display appears to be working now yet the browser may need to be Refreshed if acting dodgy.
I've received an inquiry regarding the software. It's by an outfit named Serious Magic and called Vlog It. And not expensive at US$49.95. If you're interested a free trial version can be downloaded. Here's the spray,
Vlog It works great with blogging sites such as TypePad®, Blogger®, My Space®, and others. By adding video to your blog, you truly connect with your audience by bringing your blog to life with motion, sound, graphics and even narration. Plus Vlog It comes with a library of titles, graphics, transitions and effects to give your vlog that great TV look.
My first impression - it's tops mate.

Sorry mate; nothing but "connecting". Mac OS X with both Safari and Firefox. Tuesday 10:45pm.

Yeah, same with me Scooper1. So I've republished the post and it works again. Will have to seek advice over this intermittent glich.
