This video also hard to hear and see – not good enough

I have to agree with the other posters. Unless the demonstrator who created the video tutorial has the ability to zoom into the area of the page that he or she is focused on, many of these tutorials are frustratingly difficult to use.

Waaaay too small. I used to be able to download the lessons in Quicktime, and could see it much better and had it saved in an easily accessible location. Can we still get them in Quicktime? This player is a throwback to the 90’s…

Great… now how do we save the data that is placed in there?

Well worded, and retainable, practical information for use after seeing this tutorial.

The size issue was a stumbling block, but minor. Where is the full screen mode button among the viewer controls? Is there some add-in to check completeness of control interfaces?

Lastly, is there a tool to perhaps hilight all page elements which do not yet have any spry validation? This would be great for design mode on more complex pages.

Way off target on accessibility for seeing impaired and hearing impaired. That’s basic stuff. Doesn’t make Adobe look very “with it”.

Video is not visable
Only the lower right corner of the skin is visable.

To see the video, go back and click on the photo of the tutorial, not the text.

When you make the video include the ability for us to go full screen with the video. Its too hard to see anything. No sense having video if people can’t see it?

Hey! I have a really great idea. Why not make the video actually visible. Oh and while your at it, why not crank up the sound so we can all hear whats being said.

Hi, thanks for this tutorial, i thought it was useful, but.. as you already hint in the start of the video, you used tables to align the text areas of this form. is there any other way to do that? i don’t want to use tables, but i do want to see a neat lined up form. Any suggestions? I would really welcome that!

Hey Helen, that’s what tables are for – tables, forms, data – get a grip.

Download it to the desk top or wherever. Open with Adobe Media Player. Works great, has good visibility and sound.

who can see anything here???

I’m a hack. I’ve never had a chance to take any fundamental class in html, Dreamweaver or coding, but I’ve learned by cut and paste with a little editing.

I got really frustrated with Spry because I couldn’t find how to use it and I didn’t know enough to start on my own. I’ve tried ADobe and several other sites for basics, nothing helpful.

Thanks for this video. I turned up the volume and just paid attention. Now I can be dangerous.

Thanks!!

This tutorial needs to be a little clearer. You should upload this video into youtube where you can utilize Hi-def.

simple to follow. Really enjoy your page

 

Comment by Briofly | December 23, 2009 @ 9:08 am

 

This demo is worthless. You need a telescope to see anything.

 

Comment by Don | December 27, 2009 @ 2:43 pm

 

This is great BUT as mentioned above, it would be nice to have something bigger. Its difficult to follow along when you can’t see what’s going on. Another thing that would make this tutorial smashingly great is if something could be done about the volume, or lack of rather. I have to turn the volume up way high on my earphones and then when the tutorial is done and we go back to the Layers video portion it is LOUD!

Apart from those two, its great!

Unable to read or see the items you’re working with; everything is to small and very blurry. Other than that, the tutorials are helpful and much appreicated.

How do you use Spry validation on a file upload field?
