How to read comic books or manga on you’re iPhone or iPod Touch.

2009 June 28

That’s a really long title.

Yay! Finally my first how to video. I hope you actually learn something. Because I worked really hard on this video.

This will show you how to read comic books or manga on you’re iPhone or iPod Touch, that are not available in the app store. No Jailbreaking required. This was a submission for the Howcast, how to video challenge. I’m sorry, while in pre production I noticed that I said Discovery, when the actual app is named Discover. I’m deeply sorry to the developers of Discover it’s an awesome app, and it’s free. btw, if you’re using .rar instead of .zip. Just rename it to cbr instead of cbz. In other words. .zip=cbz .rar=cbr. :) You got that ?? mmmkay.

Thanks for watching. :)

A little behind the scenes.
Ok basically what I did for this video was first record the audio for the tutorial. Then place it in a second layer in final cut. After that drop in the music, and drop it around -10db. And pump up my voice to about +10db. Then I took all the screen shot’s and edited them in place. And added motion, if needed. Then I saved the project and went to AE, to create the vide that appears after the Howcast intro, render that, then erase the comp, and create the Air Sharing Vs Discover (2:27). And finally, create the “Did you know movie” And place them into the edit. After that I went and shot all the video. But this time I did it a little different. I was listening to the tutorial. And as I listened to it. I shot the video, so listen, pause, shoot, edit, repeat. And after that was done. I had to render it in 640×380 (I think) and upload it to Howcast. And finally. Upload it to youtube. The only thing I’m missing is to upload it to my pixelpipe account so that it can be distributed across all my networks. :)
So you actually read all the way to the end huh? :D
