How to Make a Video Podcast
Making a Video Podcast
A video podcast was always available as an option. What happened with Apple was that such video podcasting got moved into a totally new dimension. This new level of podacsting was invented on the iPod. Now apart from audio podcast video podcast thus has become extremely popular and anyone can share any videos they want to.
What you need initially to make a video podcast is primarily a video camera to shoot with. In fact it helps further if you have a digital video camera so that you would not have to convert the footage to a digital format.
You have to make sure that what you are shooting is really worth shooting. On the quality of the footage depends the success of your podcast. What kind of footage works? Try and go in for as many close shots as possible as the essential nature of the podcast video has to be compatible with pod screens.
The wide screen mode is thus best avoided and the standard mode the most preferred one. There is no point in trying to build in some insane amount of details on your video as the small screen might not support it just as it would not support fast motion and high contrast video. Try and shoot many short length features rather than a full film. Thus you make proper use of bandwidth and battery on the camera.
How to compress your film for web viewing or pod viewing? With a MAC you have everything you need for such purposes on which you could use iMovie HD6 by following the set of links, FILE, Export, iPod, Share. On a regular PC one could install QuickTime Pro- 7.0.3 or higher versions.
To proceed, follow links Export, Using Quick Time Conversion. Now you have a *.m4v file which is easily uploaded on the web. You could use other software like, Spasm Software’s Podner or Sorenson Squeeze.
It is essential to fit your movie with a description. This will help viewers to search for your movie. On the latest iMovie software you would merely have to drag the file to iTunes and join the Info Tab. File the necessary information after this. On a PC you could proceed via creating an XML document or file. Upload your file online after this.
Now, you are ready to reach out to huge numbers of people with your video podcasts. You could do this via iTunes or a blog. Choose a preferred way and go on sharing and video podcasting your way.
