Create a Professional Video Channel Where To Sell and Rent Your Clips: Pivotshare

Create a Professional Video Channel Where To Sell and Rent Your Clips: Pivotshare | Online Video Publishing | Scoop.it
Pivotshare helps media creators and publishers sell their digital video content direct to their audiences, on our platform or your own site.
Robin Good's insight:

Recommended.

Robin Good's curator insight, May 9, 5:59 AM


Pivotshare is a web service that allows any author or independent publisher to create a professional-looking video venue where to showcase, organize and (optionally) sell access to video and audio content.


Video channels created on Pivotshare will have a personalized URL such as robingood.pivotshare.com, and you can further brand the channel with your selected profile picture or logo and your favorite background.


Video channels can be displayed as "showcases" or "libraries" depending on the quantity of material you have available, can be embedded on any web site and can be easily viewed across all types of screens and devices, from desktop to mobile.


On Pivotshare you can upload directly .MP4, .MOV, .SWF, .FLV, .AVI, and .MP3 files and organize them into discrete collections. You can add names, descriptions, relevant tags as well as decide how you want to make this material accessible.


You can for example let everyone see freely certain content, while at the same time making a "tip jar" facility available and setting your preferred minimum tip level. Or you can decide to set a "monthly subscription price", rather than a "rental" or "purchase" fee.


Check this image to get a better idea: http://o7.no/15Mgscw


It is also possible to invite and collaborate with other authors / publishers contributing all to the same video channel.



Pivotshare is definitely a gret solution for independent authors and publishers, who are looking to start their commercial video channel online with the minimum effort and the maximum of results.


There are no costs involved. Pivotshare keeps a fixed percentage of your incoming revenues (unclear how much exactly).


Free to use.

VideoNotes is a neat new tool for taking notes while watching videos.

Robin Good's insight:


Plenty of useful uses for VideoNotes which allows you to easily take notes and references of any YouTube video by providing you with a split screen in which you have, on the left side your selected clip, and on the right a text editor that saves to your Google Drive preferred folder and which you can easily share with others to collaborate on.

Dean Mantz's curator insight, April 23, 1:24 PM

I have just began testing this recommendation by Richard Byrne on Free Technology 4 Teachers.  But in the time I have taken to test the web resource, I have found it to live up to the billing of syncrhonizing notes to the video.  Now the video used was from YouTube and the site does have an option for other videos.  So, I will be looking further into what other video sources it will work with while synchronizing one's notes to Google Drive.

How To Convert Prezi Presentations To YouTube Videos

How To Convert Prezi Presentations To YouTube Videos | Online Video Publishing | Scoop.it

Anyone who has used the Prezi platform would know that creating a Prezi and uploading it to Prezi.com is easy enough, however when it comes to converting it to a YouTube video, there seems to be no native method of doing so.


While you can convert PowerPoint to video formats using a native PowerPoint feature, the same cannot be said for the Prezi application.


However, you can convert Prezi to YouTube by using a workaround.

Dean Mantz's curator insight, May 7, 11:02 AM

Ever since I came across Robin's Scoop.it site I have found some top knotch resources.  When educators are looking to integrate video projects into their curriculum, one must consider what time may be needed outside of class to complete the work.  Well, here is one video option that works on multiple platforms.  Thus, enabling students to work on projects at home as well as school. 

173 Sud's curator insight, May 7, 11:12 AM

 

MakeUseOf :: Adobe Premiere. Final Cut Pro. Sony Vegas. AVID. All of these are high-end video editors that all have one attribute in common: they cost money. In an ideal world, there would be an equally high-end freeware video editing system out there. Unfortunately, most of the “editors” that do make these claims are embarrassingly poor and of little to no use.

 

However,  Shotcut may be a shining star in the world of free video editors. It’s an open-source, cross-platform editing system that is incredibly intricate, and it’s loaded with an arsenal of features so hot that they will melt your face off. More appropriately, Shotcut is a freeware video toolkit that is actually useful and won’t hold you back.

 

Shotcut offers basic cutting and trimming capabilities along with a zillion different codecs available for export. For the record, these are professional-level file formats, and you could even use Shotcut as a higher-end file converter from time to time, if needed. Also included is the ability to perform basic color correction with a three-wheel user interface, an eyedropper tool for post-production white balancing, and a few filters to choose from.

 

On the input side of things, Shotcut can receive footage via SDI, HDMI, and more. Timecode is supported, and the app will typically allow for native editing. Simply put, Shotcut is a fantastic piece of software to keep in your editing suite. I wouldn’t recommend it as your go-to editor, but it definitely has a place in the video production world.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's curator insight, May 12, 12:13 PM

To install, simply extract the archive and run it. You can drag the Shotcut folder (app icon for OS X) to copy and move it wherever you want.

The Low-Cost Steadycam with The Hand-Brake: The Supraflux Video Camera Stabilizer

Super smooth footage and complete control of your camera with the electronic pan axis lock
Robin Good's insight:



If you are looking for an effective solution to your steady-shooting needs, this new low-cost steadycam, called the Stabilizer, comes to the rescue, thanks to an exceptionally successful crowdfunding support at Kickstarter.


The Stabilizer has one unique feature that puts it one step ahead of all similarly priced video camera stabilizers: the hand brake. With this feature alone the problem of panning and rotating the camera in different directions while using a stabilizing device has been solved.


From the official Kickstarter page: "Direction changes and panning are some of the biggest challenges when shooting with a stabilizer. The goal of a stabilizer is to keep the camera steady by absorbing your movements. So when it comes to turns, this effect actually keeps the camera from turning with you.


When you want the camera to turn, you have to use your fingers to change the stabilizer's direction; thereby destabilizing the camera. It takes lots of practice to get stable direction changes using this method and even then, sometimes you ruin an otherwise great shot. Until now."


Apx price: $500

Animate Your Comics and Illustrations Easily with MotionArtist



Robin Good's insight:



MotionArtist is a downloadable software for both Macs and Windows PCs which provides powerful animation capabilities to the non-expert animator, illustrator or comics designer.


With MotionArtists it is possible to capture, edit and animate existing comics and illustrations and to export the final product to most major video formats (including 1080p HD) or to HTML 5.


"MotionArtist, launched Tuesday, allows users to add movement to existing comics or create entirely new and diverse projects.


...MotionArtist was designing the simplest process for people who might not have a background in cartoons, but want to dive right in."


"Really what we've tried to do is create an animation tool for non-animators."


"In the program, users can create panels of any shape and then drop in layered images (like a Photoshop file). Then, using an intuitive point-to-point system, they can set the elements on paths and move them around within the panel.


...


Motion comics have grown in popularity in recent years, with popular comic book titles like X-Men making the jump to Netflix or YouTube, where they can be watched instead of read."

This is kinda cheesy.  I hope Google improves this.

Get Your Video Captions Professionally Translated With The New YouTube Translation Partners

Get Your Video Captions Professionally Translated With The New YouTube Translation Partners | Online Video Publishing | Scoop.it
Robin Good's insight:


Google Translate has just announced that it is now possible to order professional translations of any video transcription directly from within your YouTube account.


Not only.


You can also get an immediate time delivery estimate and a precise cost for the translation task and you can pay immediately for it via credit card/PayPal.


From the official Google Translate blog: "Now you can connect directly with translation vendors and pay to get your captions translated quickly and professionally.  

When you request a translation for your captions in YouTube, we’ll display a list of vendors along with their estimated pricing and delivery date so you can easily compare. We’ve initially collaborated with two companies, Gengo and Translated.net, to make their services available to you and to streamline the ordering process."

Ken' Key Takeaway:

Caitlin Heller's curator insight, February 22, 11:52 AM

Interesting for those who are in different countries than the US or want a wider global presense!

Tagmotion's curator insight, February 22, 6:53 PM

Another sign of the growth in video captioning & translation.

And more evidence that video content is increasingly valuable enough to justify manual processes being applied to it.
