YouTube For Dummies Book

Do you take videos at home or on the road? It’s amazing that these days even videos taken in movie mode on a tiny pocket digital camera look great. Have you ever wanted to share your videos on the Web -- even short ones (“Hi, kids, look where we are today?”) with your friends, family or even the world? Well, you can. . . and it’s downright easy. Just post your videos to YouTube! It won’t cost you a penny! "YouTube For Dummies" helps tech novices get a handle on a popular technology that most tech-savvy geeky types consider "simple." The book will show exactly how to post video to YouTube, whether its 20 seconds long or ten minutes. In the section Loading Video to YouTube you’ll learn the nuts and bolts of shooting video, transferring it to a PC or Mac, editing it, and sending it up to YouTube via the Web. In the chapter Bringing Along YouTube you’ll find out about the various ways you can use YouTube video in places other than on the website. If you want to more involved videos, then the chapter Always Wanted To Direct will provide advice about how to use YouTube's directors program to upload longer video, use the site for marketing, or launch your own videoblog. Shooting video and posting it to YouTube is fun, free, and very creative. This book will teach you everything you need to know. Published 2007. 390 pages.
