Re: [videoblogging] Videoblogging social network
I think you just describe NING, pretty much all those things can be done there and you have a barrier, in that members need to sign up and login. The forum side of it is configurable, chat works as a plug in and everyone has their own page or wall.. Cheers Rambo Rupert Howe wrote: I know we return to this every so often - how to add more functionality to this list... I just had a thought, so I wanted to jot it down here while it was still fresh. It seems to me that we could benefit from a Facebook-style, Ning-style or Drupal-based site where we could have this same kind of disussion forum, but where we could also upload/link a lot of other content - particularly videos - and connect in other ways. What I want is a bridge between RSS, Twitter, threaded discussions, community hub and information archive. I want a non-corporate community-owned place where I can go, where there are lots of online video people, where I can: a) post links to things of interest (i do that here sometimes) b) Bookmark videos I like (harder to do that here) c) chat in asynchronous twitter style but with preserved threads that allow more than just statement response end d) talk about more serious internet video things (i do that here) f) Bookmark whole sites/channels/videoblogs, like a vlogroll, but much larger, and with an aggregated directory of all sites for everyone to browse, in categories. g) Form groups for different types of people/sites/channels/videos/ interests h) post other types of content - photos, etc i) a place for people to come up with coordinate collaborative projects and challenges like vbweek j) an archive like the videoblogginggroup Wiki for sharing advice suggestions Oh my god, this sounds like Facebook for online video people. But I HATE Facebook. So how come? I think what I hate most about Facebook is the lack of boundary between people from different parts of your life - work, home, hobbies, etc. I want something like Facebook, but that's a videoblogging ghetto.

[videoblogging] Blip to YouTube X Posting
Blip have a service where you can enable cross posting of your videos directly to YouTube. Problem is when you request activation they refuse?? What do you have to do to be enabled, they don't say? I'm at a loss to understand why they promote this service then decline. Anyone know? Cheers Rambo [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

RE: [videoblogging] Re: Frequency of Distribution
Every time I sit down to edit I wish I had not shot so much footage..hehehe. Funny thing is, some of the best videos I've done have been hurried, dropped onto the time line, music added then rendered without preview and they turn out little gems. I love it when that happens. Actually the new Sony Vegas Production Assistance Plug-in is all about hands-off process automation, perfect for people who create standard format videos like daily shows or weekly shows or even same day events. If these templates could be embedded in the Camera you would see much more footage presented and not left to rot on stored hard drives.

Since I only shoot spontaneous situations improv-style interactive comedy (www.mrthyself.com)I approach filming with a motto, Shoot first, ask questions later. Far too many times there were cases when I didn't have my cam with me but situation was perfect to be captured. The availability of huge hard drives in consumer cams allow for possibility to shoot more noise than signal. By signal I mean something interesting - worthwhile. In my cam I have a way to divide video clips and delete the unwanted before I even plug the cam to a computer for backup. So on my commute from Manhattan to Brooklyn I peacefully edit out the crap without wasting time when at the PC. I am thinking about going away from the resource-hungry, albeit storage efficient, AVCHD codec to get the newest marvel from JVC - GY-HM100U. Though it uses dual SD-card approach, the video is pristine, let alone the low-light filming and 3CCD's... Making this switch will make me more efficient about sensing where worthwhile action is. I dream about a day that internet has enough universal hi-speed connectivity to allow raw footage stored online in a huge video pool from around the world. This way people can both contribute as well as take from this pool of footage where video can be searched by keywords. Imagine the possibilities? :) There would have to be some in-camcorder system for tagging videos, GPS (Sony's consumer HDR-XR520V), as well as scene/face/motion detection. So the cam writes its EXIF (still cameras use this for exposure etc) info about what it recognized in the video scene and tags it into the video file. I am very lazy when it comes to editing, I have a huge load of footage sitting on multiple hard drives waiting to be edited. I am hoping that camcorder manufacturers will soon add ability to add premade editable titles and end credits right in-camcorder. This way the filmmaker simply houses the footage between the title and the end credits while on the road, glues the resulting video, transfers this video file to a computer and, viola, it's ready for transcoding and publishing. :) It would be nice to have transcoding ability in camcorder as well but so that it's redundant allowing to be able to film while this process is taking place. Imagine, you activate Youtube HD H.264 transcode and within an hour you get the ready-to-upload file? Your thoughts??

I recently bought a camera that connects to your computer via USB and fits in your pocket. I already had an HD camera, but I wanted something for run-n-gun. My goal was to achieve daily video output via filming at least 5 upload-worthy segments each week, or at least in one day, so I could release them during the week. What I found was that depending on what your style is, those cameras can hold a ton of footage. If your style is to run the camera and hope something happens, you won't get much. If your style is to recognize potential moments and be prepared, what you end up with is a bunch of snippets that amount to more footage than you needed for that week. Actually, I should back up here. Video is how I express myself. It's my hobby as well as what I do for money.

RE: [videoblogging] Re: Profit sharing for film crews
It definitely something I'm looking at Ron. There were 700 mostly international paddlers competing at that event in the Cook Islands over 10 days and all of them are potential customers as they want to see themselves competing and relive the fun they had at the event. The organizers employed me to shoot video from a jet ski and land to play back at the presentations and pubs on a big projection screen each nite to attract the paddlers to the sponsors venue, the Trader Jacks Bar and Restaurant. The footage was raw straight from the camera so it just played clip after clip and was actually pretty good. Then from all that footage I have to compile a DVD. But putting it online and charging per download would be cheaper for everyone. Sure there is still the problem of people sharing downloads, but they do the same with DVD's anyway. But if it was say $2 per download, I doubt many people would bother copying and sharing it. It also gives the sponsors more exposure by having subtle ads within the video, which could also be another income stream. I'm already capturing video of events for Surf ski, outrigger paddling and stand up paddling and supplying footage or finished media to other web sites, but it's kind of specialized and I have participated in these events for over 20 years.

There are stories to be told about all kinds of things - dog sports, outrigger racing, geocaching, brewing beer, I've touched on a couple of things that some people here have interest in. What if I were in Fiji during a large outrigger event and decided to shoot it? If rambo were aware of it and selling pay to play short videos for say, $2, then I could have a 50/50 split with him. A dollar a video. Video gets 200 hits, I make a hundred bucks - do this with rambo, a dog sport site, a brewmeister, a winery, a gaming community, or some other well developed community interest that is doing pay to play, and you've made yourself a thousand dollars for 20 minutes of video on ten outings. There's no reason this could not be done with ad revenue either. I should be able to do well with ads placed on free video and our live radio (online) and audio podcasts. I don't think it's a bad deal, and it's residual. It keeps coming in if the community has staying power. Of course it's not there yet, nobody's doing pay to play, but we will be, and we'll be doing it faster and better if people like those on this list are involved. And let's be serious, it's not like there's anything coming down the pike from Coca Cola or GM for advertising on independent media. The future of independent media is to hook up with cottage media entities and independent mom pop operations and fill their needs for content and advertising. I don't want to beat a dead horse, though, and I can see that there's little interest on the list in entertaining the concept of making money through profit sharing with community developers and small businesses. It's a bummer though. It could be the big thing that makes producing independent video profitable, or at least not a total money pit. It also could put different kinds of creative people in the same room and on the same page fostering who knows what kind of exciting possibilities. I appreciate your responses, Kath.

RE: [videoblogging] Re: Profit sharing for film crews
Gee I don't get much of a chance to set white balance, focus and compose the shots on the back of a Jet Ski. I just put the Canon HF100 in Easy mode press record and hang on.hahaha But seriously, there are plenty of people who buy paddling magazines every month to catch up on the events around the world so why not pay for online content but in video form. I guess it's about changing peoples media habits from one to the other. For me video has far more impact and content, and is entertaining.

I'm already capturing video of events for Surf ski, outrigger paddling and stand up paddling and supplying footage or finished media to other web sites, but it's kind of specialized and I have participated in these events for over 20 years. If I had to video a dog show, I would not have a clue on what to do, so I don't see how a community effort would be advantageous. Well, there is a lot more overlap than you'd think in shooting flying dogs and shredding surfers. Simple things like not zooming constantly, white balancing choosing the best place to set up so the crowd is visible. So, I do think there would be some possibilities there, but it might not be for you. You've got a schtick, a niche market. I'd actually see you more as the community curator, farming out the work to wet video people on the coasts, as opposed to shooting dog stuff for me. I'd be more likely to shoot a paddling session on Lake Michigan for you, and if you had a good track record of selling vids online, I'd probably do it - I like paddling (lived on Oahu for a few years - kind of majored in surfing and scuba), and it wouldn't be that much of a big deal to go shoot some nice stuff then cut it and upload it to your site. Then you cut checks to me as the videos fly out of the server. It would be a nice supplement to my personal economy. All it would really take are the technical skills to get the job done - good in low light? Shoot some band stuff at local bars to supplement your wedding videography business. Good at shooting high action sport? Shoot some dog video for my site. Good at getting telling story? Shoot it all! I'm with you Rambo.

There were 700 mostly international paddlers competing at that event in the Cook Islands over 10 days and all of them are potential customers as they want to see themselves competing and relive the fun they had at the event. The organizers employed me to shoot video from a jet ski and land to play back at the presentations and pubs on a big projection screen each nite to attract the paddlers to the sponsors venue, the Trader Jacks Bar and Restaurant. The footage was raw straight from the camera so it just played clip after clip and was actually pretty good. Then from all that footage I have to compile a DVD. But putting it online and charging per download would be cheaper for everyone. Sure there is still the problem of people sharing downloads, but they do the same with DVD's anyway. But if it was say $2 per download, I doubt many people would bother copying and sharing it. It also gives the sponsors more exposure by having subtle ads within the video, which could also be another income stream.

I did not like the example prices you gave at all. Depending on the subject matter, training dvds and suchlike sometimes command a high price tag, and different niche's will have their own ideas about how much their stuff is worth, but I dont know as the internet customer will bite at prices that may not compare well in terms of cost/minute compared to dvd. I think the subscription model is more of a winner, but again it depends on the niche in question. And it works best if there is a fairly prolific quantity of new material added on a regular basis. When I think of multiple people shows collaborating, a subscription model also makes sense to me, if it adds enough value quantity of material to make a viewer more likely to bite. Collaboration has a number of big hurdles to overcome, such as all the issues that can make human collaboration in general quite tricky (clash of ego's, who is in control, differences of opinion, viewing others in the same niche as competition, etc etc). Then there are the technical issues, and also an apparent lack of large numbers of people with both the passion for the niche and the video skills, and the time, to pull this sort of thing off. This stuff can be overcome but it goes part of the way to explaining why we havent seen more of this sort of thing thus far. Whether its because of economic woetime, or issues of future sustainability of our ways of life, local and community sounds like an important part of the future. The internet, and video, will surely figure into this in important ways, but I can hardly begin to guess how it may turn out or exactly what form it will take. Still there are some possible scenarios where it doesnt figure into things much at all, never happens, where other forces lead us down a very different path. So far I have not gotten a sense that videoblogging other forms of video on the internet have opened up many lucrative opportuinities for many people. Those who make it through traditional mass media are still the vast majority, and in honesty I havent seen a video for years that made me think different or that there was about to be a big change. The long tail has made me a tad more hopeful about humanity but has massively failed to live up to the hype so far, in almost every respect.

RE: [videoblogging] MP4 video track missing
I suspect it's the aspect ratio or frame rate causing the problem. This happens to me also when ever I try and up load to blip any size other than 4x3 or 16x9 out of Sony Vegas with a weird frame rate. Try rendering out in the aspect ratio it was recorded in or try one of these at 30fps 640 x 480 480 x 360 320 x 240 My solution was to render out to Huffy then convert to VP6 flv format in Sorensen Squeeze, then up that to blip which will NOT re-transcode the flv file. Much better quality, but this may not be your solution.

Thanks for that Heath, if you install ffmpeg, it is also then available from within Vegas to access lots of other codecs and settings, not all work though.

This is an INCREDIBLE deal. It does not come with the DVD authoring nor the pro AC3 encoding. However, for most, this will be a non issue. The pro version of Sony Vegas compares to Final Cut Pro very favorabily. It has multi camera editing, a pro titler, unlimited tracks, it can edit HD footage, supports nesting, etc. Normally this is priced at about 500 bucks, now for that you get the pro AC3 encoder and DVD software. I have used and loved Sony Vegas since I have started vlogging, I can't speak highly enough of the software and now that you can get a version of the pro software for around 137 bucks shipped, it's an awesome deal. Download the trial version from Sony and check it out for yourself. And if you are on Mac and have bootcamp, try it out

RE: [videoblogging] Re: Best Delivery Codec
Steve you are dead right, Gspot also claims the video to be recommended playback 6912 x 384 (super stretched). Not sure how that happened as it was encoded in WinFF, possibly I typed the preset wrong. Plays ok in most other players for me so didnt notice the error till I tried VLC. Thanks for finding this. No this video was done before I discovered MainConcept and was meant to be encoded at 704 x 384. Anyone have any ideas on a quality fast start and Ipod workflow out of Vegas?

[videoblogging] Point Of View mounted cameras.
Hi everyone, just joined this group and see that what I do with video cameras is different to what most people are doing. Just briefly, what I do is mount multiple waterproof cameras to an Outrigger canoe and capture ocean racing and wipeout footage etc on waves, then edit the footage into a short entertaining slightly whacky movie. I use 3 different types of cams for that, a Pentax Optio W10, two GoPro Hero3 cams and a bullet cam connected to a Canon camcorder. Basically it puts you in the drivers seat of the canoe as I paddle in races and on ocean waves, thus POV (point of view). Some of the challenges I face are water droplets on the lens, sun direct into the lens, damage from wipeouts and lots of footage to edit as the cams are turned on and left running till the battery runs flat or the tape or SD card fill up. Any one else out there doing stuff like this or have suggestions?
