This page is just a brain storm on the "How to submit a video for inclusion into Fedora videos". There's already a page up, but I feel a step by step guide is warranted to get people started easily.
Steps: submitter
- Think up a topic
- Does it need a video or a screen cast?
- Do you have the required hardware?
- Webcam/Video recorder
- Microphone
- Test them using Cheese!
- Do you have the required software?
- Screen casting: LIST HERE
- Video editing: LIST HERE
- Plan your video
- What are you going to focus on: an entire application, a feature of an application, how to use it for a specific task?
- What is the targeted audience: dummies, advanced? (We should list this in the video header too!)
- Write up a transcript
- Writing a transcript before making a screen cast helps in syncing the audio and video up properly.
- The transcript needs to be submitted to aid us in addition of subtitles.
- A video will need to be transcribed later, of course.
- Record the audio
- This is where the transcript comes in handy
- Sit in a quiet environment. Keep a bottle of water with you.
- Speak clearly, pronouncing each word with as much clarity as possible.
- Time your sentences/clauses correctly to sync with the activities in the video.
- License it correctly: CC by SA unported LINK EXPLAINING LICENSE
- Add a license declaration file
- Tar it all up!
- Video/screen cast
- Audio
- License
- Anything you'd want us to keep in mind while we process it for publication.
- Send it to us!
- You can email us the material, but since we expect it to be large in size, we prefer if you upload it all someplace and email us the link instead.
- Wait for video to be published!
