In post #46 Movie Maker Basics: You Oughta be in Pictures - or Making Them! we successfully created a video. But, the whole fun of videos is sharing them. This is an extra-credit challenge post for the video module. It is not a required part of the module, but if you complete it (along with the rest of the video module) you will get an extra 1 hour of training credit. For this extra-credit challenge, you'll upload the video you created in post #46 to YouTube and then post it to your blog.
There are a number of video sharing sites out there, which were discussed in Week 9 of iHCPL, but YouTube is definitely the king of video sites, so that's what we're going to use for this exercise.
Steps to Upload a video:
- Create an Account
- Login
- Click Upload (it's on the menu bar)
- Click Browse - a window will open, find your video
- Edit the title, description, and tags. Also select a category for your video. This is also where you can decide if your video is public or private. If you're sharing it on your blog, it should be public.
- Click Save Changes
Note: You'll probably have a quick upload, but it takes a little while for YouTube to process your video, so be patient. To find your video again, click Account - My Videos.
Embed your video in Blogger
- In YouTube, find your video and copy the text in the "Embed" box.
- Log into Blogger
- Click the Edit HTML tab
- Paste the Embed text you copied from YouTube
- Click Publish Post
If you created an Animoto video in post #45: Making a Video, you can also upload that to YouTube (this is just FYI):- Login to Animoto
- Click My Videos
- Click Play on the video you want to upload
- Click Export to YouTube (you'll walk through several steps to allow access)
- As on YouTube, you'll edit title, description, tags and select if you want the video to be public.
- Click Export Now - Be patient the upload and processing can take a few minutes.
