Narrated Training Tutorials
Please feel free to use any of the brief tutorials below as refreshers. They are not intended as exhaustive software training but as reminders of key elements of programs.
The tutorials are all screen captures in high-resolution, so to view them, you need to be on a high-res monitor. To see the Quick time controls, expand your window to make it larger than the window shown in the tutorial. Or in Quick time, choose view/half size.
A note on bandwidth -- all are large .mov files, so I don't recommend opening them over a slow connection.
