Using digital videos to learn new skills like
playing guitar, is the most exciting advance
since computers were invented.
The big problem is that most of the benefit is lost if you don't have the ability to loop, slow down and repeat small sections of videos and
maintain the pitch so that the sound is unchanged.
It's no good slowing down a music tuition video for example if the voiceover sounds like
Darth Vader on tranquilizers and the instrument sounds like a
'wound down' gramophone.
'Multi-Purpose' video programs simply
cannot perform this miracle . . .'
Video viewing software like Windows Media Viewer and Real Player are designed to be multi purpose and, to be fair,
they do a pretty good job most of the time.But no one ever designed a video viewing program that was specialist enough to do the very specific job of slowing, looping and repeating
for the sole purpose of learning a new skill.
'All human learning is based on repetitions . . .'
Imagine there was a teacher who could show you some new skill you were trying to learn, at any speed you wanted, as often as you wanted . . . .
over and over and over again and never get bored. What would happen to your learning curve?
When I first started exploring the possiblilties of SloMoDirector I just did what any modern 'net-savvie surfer would do . . . I Googled and what I found really suprised me. There was
NOTHING that did the job I wanted.
'Everyone said it couldn't be done . . .'
After about three months searching all the websites where the worlds' smartest programmers hang out . . .
I found someone who said it could be done. I put my money where my mouth is and the result is SloMoDirector.
If you are learning by using digital videos, you now have the opportunity to
squeeze every last drop of information out of them and bring about a rapid increase in your ability to learn.
