Re: utube

Depends how posh you want it to look, I have uploaded some random 1 minute vids off my phone on to youtube - just make sure you get them the right way up lol.

(I'm sure someone will give you some proper advice in a bit)

Re: utube

Re: utube

What have you got ? Digital Video Camera ?

Easiest thing to do is do a practise vid and upload it, and see if you think the quality/sound etc are good enough for what you want.

I uploaded MP4's off my phone, and other than I couldnt turn them round and had filmed them sideways, they were fine. There are video editing suites out there but they cost a bit.

Theres some help on Youtube = http://www.youtube.com/t/creators_corner

Re: utube

Depending on the OS and default programs installed on your PC/Laptop you may already have video editing software.

On this laptop I have Windows Movie Maker.
