In the Making: Tutorials for Online Video

August 17th, 2006 — Dean Jansen

Publishing video on the internet is no simple task. That’s why we’re creating an insanely comprehensive set of tutorials that will cover every step of online video creation and publishing. Best of all, we’re releasing this project under a Creative Commons license, so everything will be freely available for people to learn from, re-mix, and extend.

No matter if you’re using a Windows or Apple machine, we’ll walk you through every step: from picking the right equipment, to shooting, to editing, to compressing, to uploading, to publishing and finally licensing. Each thread of the guide will include screenshots, photos, videos, text and screencasts in an intuitive step-by-step format.

This project is made possible, by a generous grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, an organization that aggressively fosters citizen journalism in all forms.
