Renaissance 2014 — How to App Video
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 video from MartianCraft
- Final spec spot, and a on how we did some of the special effects.
