Once I’ve shot the video and edited it, it’s time to upload it and publish it. Here’s my publishing checklist!
- Export a full resolution file from iMovie.
- Open it in quicktime pro and watch it one last time so I know I haven’t missed any editing flaws.
- Compress it by exporting an “appleTV” version of the video which gives me a nice M4V.
- Upload that to Tube Mogul and then crosspost to Blip, Youtube, Howcast, Google, and Yahoo.
- Manually upload to Vimeo and Facebook and Flickr since tubemogul crossposting doesn’t work for those. Also Tumblr!
- Write the post on my blog to go with the video.
- Grab the embed code and the video file permalink from blip.tv.
- Publish it on my blog and twitter about the blogpost. Through the magic of the internet, the post automatically shows up on my soup and the twitter automatically shows up as facebook message. I include a subscription link to iTunes. There are lots of ways to subscribe to my videos, but that one is the easiest for the most people.
- I then try and tell a few friends about it when I’m done because I’ve just done a bunch of work and it’s nice to get some feedback. If you leave comments on my videos it makes me super happy.
So that’s my checklist. It takes a while! Let me know if you do anything different or have any questions about it or any ideas that I’m missing here!
