Hey, I'm just curious but who here uses or is interested web video to market their business on their website, youtube, meta cafe etc. regrds, Anish
I have accounts on: Youtube Break Metacafe Dailymotion Veoh Vimeo Frootoo.com Yahoo video Popmodal.com Revver MySpace video And a few other sites I have forgot about. AOL video pulls from youtube, so I'am on AOL video as well. My facebook account and youtube account are linked. So that when I post a video on youtube, its also posted on my facebook account. For most of those sites, I use tubemogul to push the videos out to them. In April of 2010, my youtube account will be 3 years old.
Yes, I make all of my own content. I use 4 different cameras, depending on the situation: Canon D10 Canon SD750 Canon PowerShot SX20 IS JVC Everio MS120 The Canon D10 is waterproof, so if I'am going on a boating trip, hiking or camping trip - that is the camera I bring. The JVS does wide screen and has the best zoom out of all 4 cameras, but has a small diameter lens then the canon SX20 IS. So the JVC does not do very well in low light. The Canon PowerShot SX20 IS probably does the best out of all 4 cameras. It films in HD wide screen and records audio in stereo format. But its a little bulky when compared to the point and shoot. The SX20 takes AA batteries, which is really nice. Editing is done with windows movie maker. I do not add any special effects, its just basic editing, such as splicing and merging. My tri-pod is just a basic model from a local big box mart. To be able to convert and edit the different video formats, I had to upgrade my computer to a quad core with 2 gigs of memory. Encoding with a single core CPU would sometimes 45 minutes - 1 hour. Now it only takes 10 - 15 minutes.
