Check out the original post. It says at the bottom that you need a specific codec in order to view it.

Hope that helps

Are links for Cloth and Key Group Poses going to be added? Thanks!

Try these links:

Key Groups Poses
Cloth

Bob Croucher had released these back in July.
See: Key Groups Poses Tech Talk Release

Similarly the Cloth Tech Talk was released prior to that.
See: Cloth Tech Talk

I try to keep up with them here in one place but keep an eye on the Latest Info forum area.
That's were all the official releases tend to go.

do i need to save target as before i view it then or wh?
because of the code thingy

These were created more for online viewing but if you can locate them on the FTP you can download them.
Try the following link to get the Tech Talks recently added:

ftp://www.hash.com/pub/movies/techtalk/

Note: Right click... Save Target As.
And don't forget to download and install the latest Ensharpen codec.

I just watched the composite video by Noel. I never knew what composite was. WOW! That is amazing stuff! So powerful! There is so much in this A:M I just can't believe it. It is always amazing me. Man, I friggin love A:M! I am downloading all the other videos for more features and tips. This techtalk series is a great idea. I learn best by seing and hearing. Guess that's why I did so well in school but am slow when learning something on my own. There is so much to do with a:m I will be busy my whole life.

Could someone check the link for Tech Talk #10 Key Group Poses? It seems to go to a no-longer-extant hashmirror location.

thanks

I guess those hashmirror links need to be updated.

This one worked for me - I think - I never got video, just sound, but that might be just my computer.

ftp://ftp.hash.com/pub/movies/techtalk/ke...ps%20Poses.html

ftp://ftp.hash.com/pub/movies/techtalk/keygroupposes looks like the folder with everything related to that Tech Talk in it.

If you are just getting sound, you do not have the correct codec installed. I believe the url for the codec you need is posted here somewhere.

The links need to be edited to work again!
Please change "http://www.s1.hashmirror.com/" with "http://www.hash.com/"

*Fuchur*

I'm bumping this topic up as the older topic with out of date links to the Tech Talks has resurfaced.
As far as I know all links here are still current.
If links in this topic are outdated post the info here and we'll fix them.
(Don't use the links in the old Tech Talk forum)

can't get the Randy Croucher hair to work;
downloaded the film, sound plays, no image QT is black.
downloaded codec (though have watched another clip earlier wo trouble); sound plays QT black.
rebooted; sound plays QT black.
tried in Explorer and Opera; sound plays page white.

I'll guess that you need to install the required TechSmith codec (perhaps you installed a different codec?):

http://www.techsmith.com/codecs/ensharpen/

More direct page: http://www.techsmith.com/codecs.asp


If not installed you won't be able to view the video.

I got the RandyHair.move to play OK after I installed the codec from the Techsmith site linked to above.

What Quicktime and Windows are you on dblhelix?

I'm on Win7 with Quicktime 7.6.9


Edit: you got the "Ensharpen decoder" and not the "Techsmith ScreenCapture codec", right?

*silence*

ok no more six day workweeks, promise.
thank you for that lesson!
