This is a guide to the process of publishing talk recordings
Contents
Step 1: gather the files
To generate the final version of a video you need the following files:
- the video files from the camera, usually MTS files
title.svg
a title screen with the name of the video and the speakersmetadata.mk
, a makefile with the video's metadata
And you should put all that in a sub-directory of your current directory called src/
Step 2: preflight check
- Look at the video files
- is the quality ok?
- are both the beginning and the end of the talk present?
- do you have all the pieces? (the end of the first segment should correspond to the beginning of the second)
- Look at the title file
- is all the text in the limits of the page?
- is the text correct?
- Look at the metadata file
- there should not be any new line in the strings (replace by \n)
Step 3: encoding
path/to/script/fscons-videos encode
Step 4: inspection
There should be 2 new files in the current directory: A mpeg video and an ogv video. Open the two files and check that the quality is ok.
Step 5: upload to the NAS
scp ./XXXXXXXXXXX-my-video.ogv nas.ffkp.se:/fscons/Public/<year>/<trackname>
Example:
scp ./12SAT011515-open-animation-projects-state-art-problems-and-per.ogv nas.ffkp.se:/fscons/Public/2012/miscellaneous
Step 6: upload to youtube
Title template:
[speakers]: [full title]
ex: Julia Velkova & Konstantin Dmitriev: Open animation projects: state of the art, problems and perspectives
Step 7: promote the new video
Twitter/Identi.ca
Template:
New video: [speaker names/@account] on [subject/short title] [short url] #FSCONS[year]
Example: New video: @jvelkova & @k_dmitriev on Open animation projects #FSCONS12
google+
Template:

and include the youtube video
Example: A talk by +Konstantin Dmitriev & Julia Velkova at FSCONS 2012
