Or is that "trade secret?" :D Thanks Graham Ardner Hey is there any way you could tell the RGB or Hex key values of the five stripe colors and two purple background colors you used?

I haven't used that font since the tutorial. I'm running Mint 11 at the moment. I'll have to give it a try. Hmm…interesting. I haven’t used that font since the tutorial.

The exact error message: "Inkscape encountered an internal error and will close now. Automatic backups of unsaved documents were done to the following locations: /home/name/new.svg.2011_11_13_11_37_51.0.svg" I got the font files from here: http://www.dafont.com/0210.font How strange that this 02.10 font crashes Inkscape in Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot as soon as I try to type or change already typed text.

The exact error message:
“Inkscape encountered an internal error and will close now.
Automatic backups of unsaved documents were done to the following locations:
/home/name/new.svg.2011_11_13_11_37_51.0.svg”

Wow! I could have saved myself some time had I looked at your jpeg first. I obviously overlooked the link. The problem is that you are using the live path effect for the operation. I did not use that in the tutorial. I used the Extensions>Generate From Path>Pattern Along Path feature. @Andrew

I did convert the coloured squares to paths, as I had read that in a previous comment. So I'm not sure what I might be doing wrong.

Nothing is broken. It worked like a charm. I didn't mention in the screencast that the 50x50px squares needed to be converted to paths. Perhaps you hadn't done that. Here's a file that I just created this morning for you to review. Download it. http://bit.ly/oBE6wl @Andrew

Instead of getting the curves of colour stacked on top of each other, I just get a bunch of boxes repeated along the skeleton path. I have no idea what I might be doing wrong...

But somehow the image that I get does not match with yours. Here is the picture : http://i52.tinypic.com/vqi06u.jpg I use Inkscape 0.48, hope you can give me some clue.

However, since going to OGV it's sometimes a crapshoot. I mean, we have a pretty standard process but it's less so then what we were accustomed to. We sometimes have to tweak a little more to get good results. Some videos are better than others. That's most likely luck. We do what we can to fix what is broken but we don't do anymore than that. Just don't call us "professionals" or you might offend us. :) PS. We always read the comments...even the bad ones. ;) @zjk
