How to Upload Videos
Due to concerns about privacy on YouTube, I am suggesting that we embed videos directly to the blog. To do this, we MUST make our files smaller, or we will run out of storage space. This is pretty simple to do:
1. If you made your video in the older version of iMovie (06) we downloaded together in class, skip to step #4. If you did not, please download this for free at http://support.apple.com/downloads/iMovie_HD_6
2. Open iMovie06 and drag your movie file into the Clips board
3. Save your new movie file.
4. Select Share as “CD-ROM” Share>Quicktime from the toolbar, then choose Compress Movie For>Web Streaming.
5. Go to blog to write post > Choose “add media” in bar above text box (same as for podcasts) > Locate your newly saved movie file in Movies folder on hard drive > Select your file > Selecct “insert into post” > Save and Publish
Please let me know if you have any problems at lhorridge@gmail.com . The process is almost the same as uploading podcasts except that this time we need to make our files smaller.
I look forward to seeing your projects!

When I tried to upload the video twice it kept saying HTTP Error and then the only option they give me is dismiss the video
I finally got it to work by selecting share “Web Streaming”
We’re getting the same HTTP Error. Maybe it’s because the blog is out of room again? Our file is 4.9MB and the website has 3.28MB left.
Corey was nice enough to upload the movie to youtube…if you would like us to post the link to that instead.
I think your analysis is correct, we’re out of room again. I’m working with Lynn to fix that but probably it won’t be fixed ’til Monday. If you’re OK with having your movie on YouTube (I assume you cut out the nude scenes…) then yes by all means post the link to the YouTube address.
Dangerous assumption, Zoe.
[…] (our limit is now 200MB) so there should be no more trouble uploading video as long as we follow the procedures Lynn set up. As a final act please upload your final creative works, whether they are podcasts or videos, to […]
