A. If you’ve ever recorded and uploaded a video online, you won’t have any trouble following these steps:
1) Record your video clip using the video camera of your choice (you can even use some cellphones).
2) Use the instructions and software included with your camera or your operating system to transfer your video to your computer.
3) Save your video using one of the following file formats: AVI, MOV, MPEG, or WMV. If you have the appropriate conversion tool, you can convert your video to the Flash video format, .flv, or we’ll do that for you. The final file size should be less than 12 MB.
4) When you have your file ready, use our form to upload the video. After filling in your contact and video information, click the Browse button and navigate to the location on your computer where you have saved your video. Double click on the video’s file name or select it and then click “Open”. Once you see the path to the file in the Browse box in the form, and you’ve filled in all the required information, click the blue “Click once to upload” button. Be patient. If your video is large and your connection is slow, it may take a while.
5) We will review your video and post it within two days (unless you post it on Friday—it will be the following Monday before it appears on our site). Don’t expect to see your video on our site if it contains profanity or nudity—sorry, this is a family show. And please, make sure your video is your own original material.
B. Never created or uploaded a video before? The Internet is full of great places to learn more about creating, editing, and uploading video for the Web. Here are a couple of links to get you started:
Getting Started with Desktop Video (about.com)
YouTube is a good place to start learning about online videos. See the YouTube Help files for information.
The basic workflow is:
1) Create (record) your Tootie Pie video using a digital camcorder or camera.
2) Transfer your video from your camcorder to your computer. This generally is done through a Firewire port (Mac) or a USB port (Windows). If you installed the software that came with your camera, you probably already have what you need to capture and edit your footage, or you can use iMovie (Mac) or Windows Movie Maker (Windows).
3) Follow steps 3-5, in (A) above.
