[videoblogging] I compiled a list of PodTech's latest meltdowns

[Nick Douglas]

Just 'cause some people keep begging for it: PodTech: The meltdown of
the Valley's worst video network


I don't believe in writing purely negative forum posts. So: In other
news, I'm addicted to pancake sandwiches. They are so tasty and eggy.

[videoblogging] Re: How much money to videoblog full-time?

[Nick Douglas]

I'm currently creating and selling a show. I've asked for more than
$1k a week to make three weekly three-minute episodes. We'll see how
far down I have to negotiate.

I've also signed onto two video projects for $500 per day (including
writing, production, and post).

I charge more for anything commercial (an in-house promotional video)
or anything that requires original writing than to cover an event.

[videoblogging] What's the most efficient way to gather clips from myriad online video services?

[Nick Douglas]

I'm working on a new video-critiquing clip show (a bit like the Daily
Reel or the Clip Show, but with huge differences).

I'm making two or three episodes a week. In each episode, I need to
include six to ten clips from a half-dozen videos. I'm grabbing clips
from YouTube, Blip, College Humor, Vimeo, Quicktime embeds, and
several other sources.

So my needs are:
- Less-than-a-day turnaround
- Ability to capture any video
- Decent framerate/audio

I tried iShowU, $20 to buy and the most commonly recommended program
for this work, but the program refuses to record at a decent frame
rate. (By the way, does anyone know YouTube's default frame rate, or
is that variable?)

I'll probably buy Snapz Pro, but I wondered if anyone would warn me
off lest I waste $70 on another broken program.

Surprisingly, former Daily Reel host Felicia Williams tells me her
crew used TubeSock. (I've used TubeSock but decided encoding entire
videos is too slow and inefficient.)
