Find And Run Robot / New FARR flash video demo
« on: April 24, 2006, 02:52 AM »
As a big fan of FARR, I honestly have to say I was surprised at the flash video demo. Not to sound harsh, but I'd recommend remaking it completely. I doubt I would download the program from watching that video. Nobody watching the video will be 'used to all this', nor will they want to watch someone click through the help file.
My suggestion is to simply demonstrate FARR as one would typically use it. Show how you can hit the break key, type a name, and go. Don't go moving the mouse around and clicking and such, keyboard is the key here. After you launch and close (don't play minesweeper) a few programs, noting that these are automatically added from the startmenu and such, /then/ throw in a mention about how you can make aliases.
Write yourself a script beforehand to read, and demonstrate it as though it is simply an extension of the features tour on the website. The video should be as precise as screenshots in motion. I know a much better video can be made.
