Video Tutorials on forum usage

ash

Hey CEans!
Im in the midst of doing some video tutorials for new CE members on how to navigate and post in the forum.

I wanted to ask, what is the best host for video? Obviously youtube comes out top; but Revver is also used by alot of users posting tutorial vids.
What about google video?

I checked out Revver. Apparently you can add your logo to your vid.. I was thinking putting a CE logo just to make it look professional, lol.

Appreciate your feedbacks!

Ash, please make one video and post a link for all of us to review. My vote goes to YouTube. ( for some reason, their streaming is superb! )

Ive uploaded a youtube vid, but its processing. Btw, can we embed vids in a post?

EDIT:
here ya go:
YouTube - Low Quality Test

Its got no audio, and ive compressed it from 200 megs to about 5 megs. Im still tweaking the settings obviously!

aha!

Btw, wait for the restructure to happen

Looks good! I think we should add voice to the video. Anyone with good voice?

I think the video quality can be better.

[another idea: How about an animated presentation hosted on SlideShare (share powerpoint presentations online, slideshows, slide shows, download presentations, widgets, MySpace codes) ]

You know, you can zoom in and zoom out at important points. Having a full page view all the time might not be clear at times. Overall its a very good draft!

*grin*
sorry for the late reply. Had to go out just now.. Thanks for the tip, xhx. I'll try to zoom in and out. Biggie, that slideshare thing can be useful too!

Regarding the voice, i'll try it out later tonight. Try not to be shocked on how I sound like, ok?

EDIT: 2nd try: YouTube - test 2

Slightly better quality, and used some basic zooming tools. If I want to have that special progressive zooming effects, I need a software like Sony Vegas, which I dont have

Well, lets keep it simple, eh?
Its kinda funny.. I was trying to do a post tutorial, yet I clicked on "preview post" instead of submit, lol. That'll confuse some people. Remember, its only a DRAFT!

one more: YouTube - How to post (test 3)
I messed up the dimensions for this, thats why the black boxes appear. I need to keep it to a ratio of 4:3 I guess.

again: YouTube - Testing again.. *sigh*
Quality seems alright. But I had trouble panning the screencast at the end

I may not need to rely on the zoom function if people can see clearly now. Oh well, as long as its going to a good direction.

Btw biggie, can we add this feature? How to add Break.com videos (like youtube) - vBulletin Community Forum

That's okay, we'll take some time before coming up with final tutorial. I think the zoom isn't helping. I could not read the text.

I think we should give slideshare a try. Let me see if I can come up with something. Regarding the voice - can we have a female voice?
