isis posted: vid nostalgiaIt's been a while since I made a vid (9 years? Wow.) but now I'm starting to think that maybe I should get new vidding software (I don't have any on this computer) and play with vids again. It was exasperating, but it was fun, and there's nothing like the feeling of creating something from a spark of idea into a finished thing that sometimes other people like, too.

settiaiNOTE: MAKE CERTAIN THE COLLECTION SECTION IS SET TO 'COMMUNITY VIDEO' OR THE IA WILL NOT CORRECTLY PROCESS YOUR VID FOR STREAMING.
2. IF YOU DO NOT WANT SEARCH ENGINES TO FIND YOUR FANVID: You must set your vid to 'noindex". This can only be set by you at the time of your upload and must be manually done.
purplefringe posted: Vidukon Programming!In exciting and only-slightly-terrifying news - I have joined the VidUKon ConCom this year! \o/ I'm . . . not entirely sure how this happened?? I definitely remember offering last summer to help
SO, on that note: please submit your programming ideas! It would be super awesome to have some, you know, actual content at this con. Otherwise it's just going to be three days of Vid Roulette from the (several hundred) vids I have saved on my laptop, and whilst I'm not saying that wouldn't be enjoyable, it could lead to some serious emotional whiplash. Here are the kinds of things we're looking for:
VIDSHOWS:
PANELS:
PREMIERES
fanworks posted: FanWorks Con AO3 collection is up, and digital memberships are still available!We now have an AO3 collection for any digital works submitted to (or created at) FanWorks!
FanWorks 2019 AO3 Collection
Works added to this collection should be limited to those that made their debut at FanWorks (we know many, many vids showed this year, but only premiering vids should be included in the collection). The collection is open and unmoderated, so works can be added to them without a wait time.
As a reminder, zine submissions shouldn't be posted widely until two weeks after the con; those works can be posted starting Monday, September 2nd.
*
A clarification on digital membership:
Digital memberships can still be purchased on the website. We'll leave this open until the weekend; if you want a digital membership and don't yet have one, please purchase it by Friday night.
All con members will have access to digital con materials (such as streaming vidshows) for at least 90 days after the con.
We invite all clipmakers to take part in our new video-clip competition on CreaSpace.ru. Any self-made video clip based on films, games, sports etc., can be submitted to the contest (only anime are restricted). No restrictions on music styles and genres of video. No registration needed. Submit deadline is 10 October 2019. Prize fund: ~500$. We accept exclusive videos only, the ones which were not shown online before the contest. If a link to Youtube and Vimeo is provided (it must be "unlisted" video before premiere), the broadcast of the contest video will be conducted directly from your channel.
Detailed rules: http://creaspace.ru/forum/topic.php?topic_id=3933

The con zine, featuring fic, art, and podfic, will go live on Thursday night, as will a full copy of the con program. Streaming vidshows will go live individually, timed to start when the vidshows start at the con. (For example: Introductions, which starts Friday at 1:00PM at the con, will be available for streaming starting Friday at 1:00PM Eastern.)
Once vidshow streams have gone live, they will be available on demand; any vidshow that has debuted at the con will be available for playback at any time.
All digital content will remain available for at least 90 days following the con.

elisi posted: Meta café: I Contain Multitudes: Notes on Bring It Home (Sugar Daddy) vidamalthia posted: Things I wish I thought of sooner
I'm looking at my music vid folder and I have about 36 gigs worth of vids and I thought I did GREAT by dividing the vids by fandoms...obviously that's not such a great method. What I should have done was what I do for fan fiction when I download stories. Which is label the damn files by vidder then vid title followed last by fandom. So no matter where the file ends up I can look and know some very important details without having to open the vid or scroll through it hoping the vidder added credits to the beginning or end of the vid. Believe it or not some vidders do not do this...

sisabet posted: Show And Tell - Just A Game I Play, When I Wanna Say: sisabet — LiveJournalAnd I am trying to formulate a post about Showing and Not Telling in vidding because we should be talking about that. This idea comes up all the time in fic discussions and it equally applies to vidding (and not so coincidentally with what I am currently working on *and* a vid I am betaing... and another vid I want to beta when it is ready, and another vid I want to have made so I can beta and... wow - this applies to A LOT). So we should be discussing this.

vidukon_cardiff posted: Vidshow Discussion Post: 2009 RetrospectiveWelcome to the discussion post for the 2009 Retrospective vidshow, curated by such heights!
This is a new thing we’re trying - we love talking about the vidshows at the con itself, but we think there’s scope for further discussion here on Dreamwidth, where folks who weren’t able to attend the con can get involved too. Anyone who’s interested is welcome to watch the show and join in! We’ll be running these posts roughly once a month, initially featuring shows from VidUKon 2019.
You can see the list of vids and their descriptions here - scroll down and click on the show title in blue. If you’re struggling to find any vids from the show, please drop me a line and I’ll see what I can do to help!
vidding posted: Request: Vid Tagging Assistance, Vid Streaming AlternativesRequesting assistance in tagging vids using Excel (2013/2016/2019). If you have Office 365 this would be ideal as we can collaborate in real time similar to what you see in those ads for Google docs co-authoring where you see the names of people typing as flags. Additionally, if you have ever wanted to get up to speed with Excel for work or to get work this could be one way of doing so while also watching and tagging vids. I teach Excel as well.
Vid Streaming Alternatives
Requesting beta tester of a vid streaming alternatives. If you have an interest in vid streaming services that are either an alternative to or compliment to You Tube & Vimeo then you can help test out some functionality on some of these alternatives and provide feedback and suggestions. You'd also click around to make sure everything works. I'd also love to hear thoughts about what works and doesn't work about current options.
If you have any questions about either feel free to contact me by clicking here
purplefringe posted: Good Omens VidI just thought, you know what, it would be SUPER INTERESTING to make a vid examining all them theological arguments, biblical concepts and questions of morality which are touched on in Good Omens. There's some really interesting theological ideas in there, and it just struck me that someone should make a vid exploring that more closely - and of course, it would have to be set to a piece of suitably epic religious music. So, here's Bach's Mass in B Minor.

talitha78 posted: Seven Things I Know about Vidding: talitha78Over at veni_vidi_vids, they linked to a post on vidding resources by crickets where she referenced this post called "Ten Things I Know about Editing," and it sparked a desire in me to add my tidbits to the mix. As always happens after I finish a vid, there is a brief window of time when I feel euphoric and chatty, so I thought I'd seize the moment, even if I couldn't think of ten things. I might come back and edit if I think of more.
morgandawn posted: Meta: On The Rules Of Vidding: morgandawnPeople get their... knots in a twist when others start talking about the rules of good writing and the rules of vidding. My problem is that whenever anyone opens their mouth to say 'rules', I hear: choices or guidelines. I cannot get too caught up in the debate (although I do find it educational, and at times amusing) because the discussion is... irrelevant (to me).

vidding posted: Submitting To Conventions Showing Fan Made Music Videos (LONG) - Vidding discussionEvery convention operates differently. At the end of this message is a list of conventions that accept submitted vids. As always, if you attend, you will most likely get your vids shown. For non-attending vidders, the convention may look to see how many vids they have of X fandom, is your vid in a known fandom, does it fit in with the theme of the convention (slash/gen/fandom specific convention) and time constraints. So if my vid does not make it into a vid show, I try to not take it personally. Vid shows are for a diverse congoing audience, not necessarily just the vidders, and the shows are a big draw.
tea_and_snark posted: I emerge from journalling AWOL with a piece of snark. And yes, it's…: tea_and_snarkBut the thing is, I think a lot of fan fiction and fanvids spring from the desire to see sexual tension that is not resolved in the original work get its screen/page time. Alright, sometimes it centers around a couple that ultimately end up together, but don't get that WOO BIG KISSY moment

Looking for Vidders I'm at the early stages of developing a documentary on Vidding. I am looking for UK or Italian based Vidders willing to appear in the documentary and talk about their passion for Vidding. As a former Vidder I want to highlight how it can be entertaining for the audience to see their favourite shows in a new way and also how it offers the artists a chance to be creative as well. Many thanks, Carlotta Montella.

Vidding doesn’t have the accessibility of fan art or the group mentality of fan fic. Vidding asks a lot from it’s participants and, honestly? Unless someone already gravitates towards fan vids it can be incredibly hard to draw other’s interest.

what is the ettiquette...… for making fanvids with fanart? What do you do, do you seek out and ask permission from each the artist to use their art in the vid? Is that a thing we do? Or do we assume if it’s online it’s OK and credit at the end? Asking permission seems like the polite thing to do. It also seems… very labour intensive.

(This year I nominated The Greatest by bironic and Straightening Up the House by eruthros, either or both of which would've been far more interesting and exciting than two episodes each of The Good Place and Doctor Who. Though I am really pleased about Dirty Computer making it onto the ballot.)
