CWahi Installation Tutorial #03 – Coppermine 1.4.26

This post has been migrated from my older blog A Bad Case of Nostalgia.

School has been keeping me busy as of late, but I managed to dig up enough time to break out a new CWahi Installation Tutorial, this time covering Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.4.26. A few interesting notes on the tech side of this one: The previous tutorials were filmed and edited with Camtasia Studio 6. While Camtasia is certainly a decent recording/editing suite, I have upgraded my toolbox with some shiny new tools.

I learned that Fraps now has the ability to record your desktop, provided you are running the Aero desktop style (sorry XP users). Since I recently purchased a license I decided to give it a try and I am far from disappointed. For editing I stepped up my game to Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, with Adobe Media Encoder for the final compression. It took a little toying with settings, but the quality of the output, low file size, ease of use, and future possibilities with Adobe After Effects have made me a convert. There’s a reason Adobe products are so insanely expensive, they truly are the best-of-the-best and their price tag is well earned. Thank god for student discounts!

But I digress. Here is the video tutorial, and of course the accompanying HTML version. As an additional note, I have also added all my videos to YouTube. Due to YouTube’s restrictions, the versions hosted on this blog will have both higher resolution and will be a single video if it runs longer than 10 minutes (like the rather lengthy MediaWiki tutorial.) These videos can be watched on my channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/Drakmyth. Enjoy!

Oh, and sooner or later I will reveal what that mystery picture was. When I’m ready…
