Creating a Video Entry

A simple Video Entry Form will be submitted to the website for each video which is shared via Digital Distribution of Youthflix. All of the entries will eventually be viewable in table form. Create a Video Entry. This Form will ask you for details about the video you would like to share with the network. We suggest you upload still images to go along with your video entry. After you submit your entry, it will appear in the list of video entries with all the other videos.

Here's some specific pointers for creating Video Entries:

FILE NAMING PROTOCOL
let's try to start naming files in a similar manner. i am going to propose this as a method: location_videoname_resolution.fileextension (with no spaces)
here's three examples:

MNNYC_BeyondHijab_TV.mp4 - for a hi-res file of MNN YC's Beyond the Hijab
PCM_Portland2050_TV.mp4 - for a hi-res video called Portland 2050 from PCM
PeopleTV_SummerVideos_web.mp4 - for a LO-res videos from a summer program at People TV

all of these things are important. in looking at a file on our computer(s), we all need to be able to tell easily: where it came from, what is it called, and is it hi or lo quality. it's fine to distribute web-quality video via YVXN, but we don't want to put it on to television that way.
--------
TAGGING
please use tags as keywords when creating video entries. try to use the same tags over and over as you enter more videos. this will make it most useful. as you begin to type in a tag, you will see options that have been used previously appear below your cursor. this helps to know what is already being used.
--------
RETROTAGGING
this is a request for to anyone who put video entries before tagging was an option. (MNN YC included) when possible, go to your video entries, while logged in, and click edit. then ADD TAGS accordingly. I also added an AGE RATING box recently that is optional, but useful. this can also be updated.
--------
PICTURES
try to upload still images with your video entries. this will keep the 'latest videos' section on the right-hand side new & interesting. however... its not mandatory.
