These are the "show notes" from my half of the Master Video talk at Renaissance 2014, on January 21, 2014 at 10:30 am.
Slides, AV Script Format, and Videos¶
- My Slide Deck — not sure how helpful this is without the talk, but there it is.
- AV Format Markdown CSS (on GitHub) to use in BBEdit, Marked, and Ulysses
- If you’re printing out the script from BBEdit, and want the shading to print behind the video side of the script, check out the instructions in this post.
- At the moment, BBEdit doesn’t obey the CSS page break styles when printing, to avoid weird widow/orphan issues. It seems it’s an Apple Web View bug, and they are working on a solution for that.
- Final OmniOutliner View Settings “Support Short” video from The Omni Group
- Final Tell Your App Story, with Briefs video from MartianCraft
- Final Attack of the Giant Amazon! spec spot, and a nehind-the-scenes video on how we did some of the special effects.
Tools¶
- Telestream ScreenFlow — Mac screen recording app
- App Dynamic AirServer — AirPlay to your Mac and record what you stream
- Apple Final Cut Pro — for editing
- Adobe After Effects — animation and compositing
- Imagineer Systems Mocha AE — planar tracker, to track the real crean that you’ll composite your fake screen into
- Apple Compressor — to compress file size of video to share with your team and upload to your website.
- Wipster to share work-in-progress video with clients and team members, to gather feedback.

More Bits¶
- Indian-head test pattern
