Internet Video -- Yeah but how do you do it?...
There has been a lot of talk about video lately
but not really many solutions regarding it. In fact up to this
point the majority of people doing video have been doing it
for some time and are probably not very anxious to get
others involved because of the value it offers to their
business.
This is one of the major problems right now because
affiliates and marketers are at a disadvantage to those
using video because it does add so much value and "visual"
learners who are sick of seeing e-book after e-book are
grasping onto video with a heightened enthusiasm.
Now the other disadvantage of people not using video is the
cost and training involved in getting started. There are a
variety of tools necessary and techniques to learn to shoot
video properly so that it can be viewed, downloaded or
streamed from your website.
The most widely accepted format has appeared to be the flash
format because of the dominance of macromedia and the
prevalence of the flash plugin offering high compliance in
terms of view ability and more importantly because of the
compression.
Often times flash videos are 4 times smaller than AVI's
meaning they download faster and stream better. Now if I
told everyone reading this to go shoot a screen capture
video, convert it to flash, and put it on your website could
you?
Probably not!
With all that being said this is the guide for you. This is
an all encompassing video tutorial which walks you through
all aspects of shooting screen capture on your PC and
discusses (and shows how to use) the many features of the
software used to generate an AVI video. From there, you are
shown how to convert this video to a flash format and
briefed on the use of the software involved in this process
and the authors do a good job of explaining video
terminology along the way. Lastly they show you how to get
this video up on your website.
Here's the kicker. The tutorial uses nothing but FREE tools
to shoot and encode the video and they include the necessary
flash video player to host the video on your website. So
with one tutorial you learn exactly how to get video on your
website and you are given the tools to start right away.
This one definitely gets my stamp of approval!
