Making and Optimizing Your Videos
ChurchpreneurTV is designed to make sharing your
videos with friends and family as easy as possible.
You probably have the tools to make a video already,
even if you don't have a camcorder. Web cams, digital
cameras, and even cell phones often have video
recording features—many digital cameras even have a
simple switch to choose between stills and video, like
this:
Editing and Improving Your Videos
If you want to be a bit more hands-on with your video,
most new computers come with basic video-editing
software installed (like Apple's iMovie or Windows
MovieMaker). Once you have copied the video from your
phone, camera, or camcorder to your computer, you can
bring the video into these programs. Most allow you to
not only edit the video, but add effects, titles, and
music to make your video look and sound more
interesting.
Uploading Your Videos to ChurchpreneurTV
Once you're happy with your final result, you'll need
to save the video in a format that ChurchprneurTV can
accept in order to upload. Unless you're a
professional video producer, we recommend that you
save your videos as either QuickTime .MOV, Windows
.AVI, or .MPG files— these are the most common formats
and they work well within our system. We specifically
recommend the MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid) format at 320x240
resolution with MP3 audio. Resizing your video to
these specifications before uploading will help your
clips look better on ChurchpreneurTV.
Uploading Directly with Mobile Devices
If you have video capabilities on your cell phone or
PDA, you can now upload videos directly from the
device to ChurchpreneurTV. So if you get a quick clip
of something cool with your phone, you can put it up
right away. Just set up your Mobile Upload Options in
advance, and then send your videos to the email
address you're assigned. All of your mobile videos
will have the default tags, title, and description
that you set, or you can overwrite them in the email
message you send.
God Bless
