Hey Pine! I'm looking at streamlining the import/upload process for videos among other things, and would be more than happy to help with this.
If the files are already cut up into presentation-sized pieces, then I can handle the batch conversion/upload, and the experience will help me with designing tools for the next batch! If they need cutting still, we'll figure it out. :) If network speeds are a problem for uploading the footage in its current state, we can work out shipping or otherwise transporting a portable drive. (20G isn't super huge in video terms, so it might be easiest to ship it to me in Portland and I'll do the batch-conversion and upload from my end. For very large collections we may have to ship things to the data center directly and that requires more coordination.) -- brion On Tue, Oct 20, 2015 at 3:23 PM, Pine W <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Jan, > > The individual segments have a maximum size of around 1.5GB and are about > 25 minutes long at most.
