Creative commons / YouTube video edit  
Posted by    Will Pollard  at Wednesday, February 12, 2014 8:11:22 AM EST

I have started with a design for knowing how to choose Creative Commons in YouTube and then edit clips in YouTube editor. Maybe different people for both tasks but whoever creates and uploads the video needs to understand how anybody could edit. Design is aimed at one hour only. There is background theory ( link to video on Creative Commons ) but the idea is to get over basic skills.

Content is in my blog

Background, I am interested in this partly for talks etc but also for music performance. How to edit casual video from several cameras at a gig? I now support a radio show, Phonic FM on Thursday mornings, so we will discuss this tomorrow and maybe have a better plan for Saturday evening ( going off topic slightly there are still tickets at Phoenix box office Exeter)

During the OLDS MOOC I had a similar project, also using the Wild Show group as a blending exercise. thing is I found it quite hard to get over. Not very geeky, just finding your way round the menus. But I was in memory and was asked to edit out clips from the Google hangout archive. A paper was presented at #emoocs2014 . So explaining what I did is a valid topic and other people can do the next one.

Feedback I would welcome over the rest of the week - are the timings reasonable? ( discussion at the end is shown as ten minutes but could go on longer) has this already been done? probably there is a video somewhere already

Trimming clips with YouTube Editor

See previous post for how to select Creative Commons . The Remix Button will appear.

Then you get the YouTube online editor. It has a range of features but it may not be obvious how to use them.

The slider in the bottom right controls the scale of how the clips are shown. Push it to the left to minimise. A hangout, roughly an hour, is too hard to navigate otherwise.

You have to click on the image of the clip for the two edges to show 

You have to click on the image of the clip for the edges to appear. Then you move the three lines in the middle to select the start and end by moving them. The arrows allow very short movements so get as close as you can before trying them.

This one has been moved from the end so is now 20 minutes, not 60. 

Selecting Creative Commons in YouTube

This post is the start of some training material for the Learning Design Challenge. There will be another one on using the Remix Button to edit clips from a hangout. The #LDChallenge is quite quick, just a week so I am concentrating on simple tasks. There is some background theory but this can come later.

Step One, in Video Manager select Info and Settings from the menu that shows "Edit"

Step Two, select Creative Commons where it shows "Licence and rights ownership"

This means that you are not restricting the content. See video below for more on this. One benefit is that the Remix button will appear so anyone can edit out a clip or else mix your content with other video on YouTube. See the next post.

Notes on links from Climate Change MOOC, Exeter / Futurelearn

I am catching up on the MOOCs . I got behind with BETT and Learning Technologies. The one on critical listening I can just about keep up with. Trouble is I can't hear the bottom ranges. My test scores are terrible. So I am just about getting an idea of what a sound engineer would know or think about. We are talking about MOOCs during the Wild Show on Thursday mornings, Phonic FM. Timings depend on what else happens but I'm sure we will get to this before the TEDx Exeter at the end of March.

The Climate Change one is also fairly complicated if you want to get into all the stats and trend plots. But the main point of this post is that they link a lot to outside sources, most of which are public. So here are some links in case you want to check them without having to sign up for Futurelearn and commit to 3 hours a week.

News item on current pause or not

For a bit of balance, as suitable for a radio show, here is a link to the Daily Mail where there is a quote from Benny Peiser, commenting on a speech by  Prince Charles  who spoke about "a barrage of sheer intimidation" from "powerful groups of deniers".

‘It is not about being a climate change denier, as he says. It’s just that people are becoming more sceptical about the extent of climate change.

‘He talks about vested interests but he should be very careful his words don’t backfire on him. The Crown Estate, for example, is making huge profits from the very offshore wind-farms that have angered so many of his future subjects.

‘And for many people the issue of rising energy bills now is more important than what may or may not happen 100 years down the line. I fear he is ill advised to make such aggressive and contentious speeches.

‘One of the reasons the Queen and the Royal Family are so loved is that they steer clear of such issues. His aggressive words indicate a certain insecurity and intransigence that will not go down well with the public.’

Video edit on YouTube, topic for Wild Show

A couple of connections have come back for videos already on YouTube. During the OLDS MOOC I tried to design some learning around Creative Commons and the Remix Button on YouTube. I still think this would be a way to edit a music video from live performance. As long as each camera angle is Creative Commons the Remix button will allow an edit. Better still with a good sound version from the desk. On the Wild Show we are a bit limited to Chris with his iPhone for closeups and my Zi8 not far from the sound desk because of the short cable. But with each attempt we get more interest. There may be a sound recorder at the Phonic Party coming up soon.

Couple of things bring this up again. Annie Rew Shaw has made a download available on Soundcloud of her track Shadows. There is also a video on YouTube

This has had more views in a week than my take from the Phonic Benefit has had in a year. But bear in mind that the Kodak Zi8 was not designed to zoom across the full extent of the Phoenix auditorium.

So we will continue to try something, and on occasion just link to something better.

Also this week I discover that the OLDS MOOC will be reported in a paper for the European MOOCS Stakeholders Summit - EMOOCS2014 . I have been trying to help with getting short clips from the Google Hangouts. Not sure how this will fit with the presentation but meanwhile here is a sound clip from YouTube edit from Wild Show. Design Science is about four minutes in but as usdual we try to cover several topics at once. More later, there may be a way to explain this well enough that much more happens around it.
