Well, I was asking you how you did it because I haven't had photoshop for a while and I was a bit rusty, but after 15 minutes or so I figured out how to make a pretty mean template. :)

As for your videos, I only found one that was synced to Mindfield by The Prodigy, and it was pretty damn cool. :)

How do I upload a high quality video? How did you get that option of high quality?



it's always the same quality but there's an option under the video, to see it at higher quality :)

check the reply i'll have for awerp, with the 3 pieces i have :)

Thanks, I didn't see the option to add higher quality, but admin linked me to a youtube video by one of the staff that shows you how to upload actual higher quality videos to youtube. :)

My tutorial video now has a 'Watch in High Quality' link below it on YouTube. It improves the video quality quite a bit and it now safe to watch fullscreen!

For those of you that want to watch it, search YouTube for axewrapper. You'll find Axewrap's video and my video.

This is exciting news for me. This means that I won't have to download more software just to encode HQ videos and that the software I have already paid for and have been using for awhile can pull off the necessary requirements for YouTube's high quality video specs. :)

Stay tuned for another sample image.

I used some of the info from that video link you sent me. I didn't use the software they suggested, but I did encode it properly. I bought some really nice software a few months ago for cheap, and it's served every video purpose I've needed it for.

So tell me honestly, is the video worth posting on the website? Does it lack anything? Does it need anything extra? What would you like to see? Or hear?

@admins, I don't know the proper channel to express this, so I'm sticking with mine. I just wanted to say that the Axewrapper is WICKED! I tested out quite a few guitar styles and found that everyone's fractals look super cool wrapped on them! Good job everyone!

One thing I didn't count on, but DID think about was whether or not the wrap would wrap the entire guitar, faceplate and all, or mold around it. Now I see that your wrapper omits the faceplate. If the tutorial video is correct, the customer will have a choice whether or not to cut out the faceplate since the applique comes as a full rectangular sheet. Do I have that assumption correct? Or will there be perforations for the bridge/frets etc? I'm just curious, as I want to tailor my images to best fit as many styles of guitar as possibly.

*When I click on the axewrapper, I get a little message box asking me to locate my Flash Debugger, and I have a choice of localhost or type in an IP address. Clicking OK just reprompts me, and Cancel takes me to the axewrapper just fine. Wasn't sure if you were aware.

Thanks admins, those are the only questions I can think of at the moment. Congrats on the successful launch day! You guys have a seriously unique plan here! I hope we all benefit. Mostly me though ;)

Actually, A2F, let me clarify how the wraps will be sent to the end user. We have painstakingly created exact templates for each of the guitars/controllers listed in the AxeWrapper. That means that when a user orders a wrap for say a Fender Strat-American Standard with the pickguard included, they will receive and precut applique that completely covers the face of the guitar by laying under the pickguard plus a separately precut applique for the pickguard itself, both with all holes for pickups, knobs, etc cut-out for perfect alignment. This provides the user with a seamless image with essentially no part of the face of the guitar visible. For a wrap that does not include the pickguard, installation is a bit more straightforward as none of the hardware needs to be removed before laying down the wrap, but again, the wrap does come completely cut to fit the specific model that is was designed for. The wrap does not, however, cover the sides or back of the guitar at this time. We plan on releasing BackWraps at some point but because of the expertise required to wrap the complex curves of the sides of a guitar we have elected to avoid going in that direction. FYI, we have completely wrapped a couple of guitars for our own use and it's quite a task.

As for the error you're receiving, we'll check into that and post any fixes in the forums. Thanks for the heads up and for your involvement and we really do appreciate all of your input.

On another note, I will be posting some quick templates in Photoshop format for the artists to use when creating wraps. They should give you a good idea as to what your designs will look like as you're working on them. We also plan to post the artists screen names so that users can search the wraps by artist. You can do that now by typing your name in the search bar of the AxeWrapper.

Hope this helps.
