There are a couple of UI quirks we need to address, but the iPhone version of Explain Everything (white icon) is now available. One unintentional (but welcomed) benefit is that you can use the collaboration between a phone and iPad to make a phone behave like a remote. Press play or use the arrows to click through the demo.

Using start and stop recording for a stop-motion annotated map effect.
Some big scary bugs had been hanging out near the front door of my home. After a couple of weeks I decided to call an exterminator to see if there was something to make them go away (not necessarily kill them). I thought they were yellow jackets.
The exterminator came and said, "Oh don't worry, these are just Cicada Killer Wasps." Right, not worry! But apparently they don't care about humans but rather catching cicadas, taking them to a burrow and then laying eggs inside of them which will hatch and eat said cicada. So I drew a Cicada Killer Wasp. You can see one on our car (though it looks like it is killing another Cicada Killer Wasp instead of a cicada!)
I was playing around with layering images beneath a transparent talk or thought bubble to add visual intention to words (or textual intention to images).
Over the last two weeks I made some time-lapse notes in Explain Everything during keynote talks at a couple of conferences (ISTE 2016 and iPadPalooza). Several people have asked about my process so here is a quick version. If there is interest I'll produce a more detailed series of posts both on how I actually take notes and capture the process.

Steps:
I think we should add the ability to speed up and slow down clips/sections in the timeline in Explain Everything which will eliminate the need to use iMovie for the time-lapse effect. Below are the two videos I made earlier this month. Here are the images from the slides in my Explain Everything Mini-Master Class session occurring later today (Tuesday).
Making a slide for a presentation at iPadPalooza in Austin, TX, I used the draw fill to make Willy Wonka-style lettering.
I had never used iCloud Drive with intention until yesterday when I made a tutorial as part of a promotion with a company called Finalsite. Wow - it was super easy to export something there and then access it from a website that allows a file upload. You can see my demo below (not final version) of creating some notes in EE, exporting as PDF to iCloud Drive, and then uploading to a course site on Finalsite's LMS.
As an experiment, I have taken a trending topic on Twitter, have generated a short video in Explain Everything that is somewhat related (barely), and will tweet out the post to see if anyone retweets it. Also I used the draw fill, grouping of objects, and the send to back option to create the effect of the text on the map. I also Created the project in a 16:9 widescreen HD ratio.
I had drawn a poison ivy branch for a previous post and decided to use the duplicate option in the Inspector to try and create a larger tree (of poison ivy). |
