Quantify have reached the first milestone. Quantify can’t do a lot at this moment but it has been great experience so far and I would like to share the result of the hard work.
For those of you who do not know what is Quantify, please visit getquantify.com
What Quantify can do at the moment
I have the user registration/login/logout in place. I am now able to create/update/delete projects and inside the projects I can define Title/Description create/delete categories and set user access to the project.
I have produce small video which shows most of the current functionality. I have never produced this type of video so please be nice to me ;). I have tried to produce a video with music at the background and slides which tells you what kind of action is going to happen on the video before it happens but it all came down to single thing. I only have iMovie which provides nice video and has all sorts of nice features but if you want to produce video of application which focus is on user interface that you might be disappointed. The small level of compression removed 90 percent of the visual waw effect I have put into the interface design. I have decided to produce better quality video even without sound and descriptive slides using only iShowU screen recording sofware and nothing else.
I am paid Flickr user so I can upload up to 500MB for single video but that was just enough for this small screen-cast. I even had to reduce the screen size to 70% to be able to get the file size below 500MB so even I would like the size to be bigger that was not possible without reducing the quality of the video even more.
So my first experience with video online is not that great. The quality is still quite poor but it kinda work. Hope you like it.
Update:
I have produces slightly better quality videos for each action (create/update/delete), they can be watched in bigger sizes.
