Introduction
Books are great! Do read as much as possible. But it is a proven fact that audio/video guides and training will increase your knowledge the fastest, and the information is easily retained. Our video training guides work as if someone were instructing you right over your left shoulder. Books can be limiting, because you have to flip from page to page while you work and they take up a lot of space. Using our Video Books, expert instruction is only a click away. You can work in the tool of choice while you watch the videos. Books can only give you a written explanation with maybe a static image or two. A lot is left up to the imagination. That takes time and energy (and a lot of re-reading)! With our video training CDs and DVDs, you follow right along with the expert instructor in a video that covers the whole screen. We don't use small sections of the screen, unless they help you to see a specific small detailed area clearly. Our displays are large and cover the complete interface. This is an essential part of the rapid learning experience.
Learn Fast! Retain Information Better!
Let's face it. It is a lot easier to learn from someone showing you what is best to do in a certain situation. We have all been listening to audio/visual instruction all our lives. It's easier to watch someone teach us how to dance, then to read a book about it. We have taken extreme amounts of energy to produce a product that will give you an abundance of information at your fingertips, in order to learn and master the tools you use quickly! You will remember instructions better, because they will look familiar to you. Our videos display the whole user interface! Your eyes see and your brain remembers a 1-to-1 relationship.
Economical Pricing
It is amazing what some companies charge for low quality video lessons. We are here to change all that. Our #1 goal is to create the best video training on the planet. Second, we want to provide you with an economical way to learn advanced concepts without expensive classes or overpriced training videos. We will always provide our customers with an economical solution for repeat buying. We appreciate your business and we want you to be a customer for many years to come! We grew tired of watching technical training facilities, schools, and video instructors overcharge for a sub-par education. Our Video Books cannot be matched for depth of knowledge, quality, and especially cost!
Our CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs are Packed
Each CD-ROM or DVD-ROM contains from 70-300 of the highest-quality videos and fully cover the details of learning the tool and topic completely. You receive a chapter guide and timely information about your product. We decide what additional information will help you along the way. Depending on the title, we include source code and projects that you can use professionally in your own projects. We add additional text, charts, and other support files that will help you master the tool. Our current titles are each over 7-28 hours! ("Photoshop CS: Capabilities!" is over 20 hours). Be sure to view the contents of our individual discs on our product page. If our Videos were transferred to traditional books, they would be over 1000 pages each!
Using the Disc
Our Video Books are very easy to work with and they contain hours of videos. Each title is broken up into chapters and sections. Review the chapter guide to find a good place to jump in, or start right from the beginning. You can watch a chapter at a time or skip around to the different sections of the disc. If your title includes source code or projects, you can follow along with the start pre-edited project or take a look at the finished output (which is also included). As stated, our videos show you the whole software interface (usually 888x660, 1024x768, or higher). A lot of times, if there is a lot of information or additional information, we will overlay text right on the video to supplement the instructor's voice. You can follow along, pause, or rewind until you fully grasp a topic. There is no better way to learn. Our audio narration is free from some of the more unpleasant sounds that instructors seem to make in these "other" training videos. We don't want to distract you from the perfect learning experience. We pride ourselves on our quality and abundance of information.
An Excellent Reference
Before a single disc is shipped, we make sure our titles completely cover the intended topic for beginners, intermediates, and advanced users alike. You can follow along step-by-step or use our Video Book as a reference. Whenever you need to refresh your knowledge on a particular feature, just navigate to the appropriate video or section and watch a 5 to 10 minute clip on a specific aspect of the application. Our titles are specifically designed to meet your needs as a first-time instructional tool and a complete reference. Often, we add additional text overlays in the video (depending on the title) to give you more than enough information to fully understand and master the application!
Timely Updates
Sometimes software is updated with key information that effects many users and the flow of a software package. With our titles, you are prepared from the beginning with carefully crafted video tutorials. However, with certain titles we will make updates if interesting and difficult features are added to the software. For instance, Autodesk Cleaner™ makes various changes throughout the year based on the many different format and codec upgrades from companies like Microsoft, Real Networks, and Apple (We have updated our Cleaner Video Book two times with the latest information for free). We will make these changes and provided you with a free or nominally priced (usually just shipping and handling) disc or download. With our videos, you will be well prepared to master your domain.
