can we submit a tutorial as a video?
of course if you made it.
cause i have a videotutorial i made and i would like to
submit it here.


VIDEO TUTORIALS YAY!! GREAT IDEA>> totally missing here.
well the idea is great if only if
you use a good Screen Recorder software
i own one, and its pretty cool
its called Camtasia Studio by TechSmith
you can record and make editions to your video
its great www.TechSmith.com/CamtasiaStudio

i've made some video tutorials with it, the qualitiy might not be the best but understandable enough. like i zoom in and all.
check out this video tutorial that i made with Camtasia Studio

I always wonderred about that too cause I have a couple :]

[Melissa]

i would think so. hm.

video tutorials are fun.

[Gigi]

Video tutorials are awesome. I'm all for it.

[synatribe]

I just use hypercam, its records what your doing on your desktop, so yea. :]

[synatribe]

no, nothing like that, also wouldnt the staff approve it or deny it anyway?

[karmakiller]

The only problem that I see with this would be the fact of personal taste. Some people like to be able to flip back and forth and it might be a pain for some people to pause a video and click and then play it again. Plus, not all people can view videos at a fast speed... I should know, because I used to be a dialup user.

[83RN15]

how do we know when he gets online or how can we be informed?

[pandemonium]

i like this idea...
wtf ppl still use dial up... lol

Dee; there's a small percent of ppl who use dial up nowadays i personally think that it maight be alright, besides there would still be those tutorials with pictures

[83RN15]

i got another question .. even thou the video tutorial section is not up. can we still post our video tutorials with the youtube BB code?

[kryogenix]

rofl have fun screening all the videos!

[Insurmountable]

I'm fine with this, they need to be reviewed carefully. And of course the community guidelines would apply.

[kryogenix]

brb making some 2 hour long videos with 15 secs of porn in them

[Insurmountable]

Is it 15 seconds of porn with you?

XD

I thought you were suspended?

[kryogenix]

It's academy award winning material.

Suspended? I lost count.

But you wouldn't dare suspend me again, would you?

[Insurmountable]

No? I don't think I am even supposed to, for one they haven't taken away any of your other accounts so I don't think its something I'm supposed to be dealing with, or even something that I could fix since I'm only head staff.

But if I was admin, you would have to watch out

[Gigi]

You could just implement a time-limit on the videos to minimize the work. Sure, the videos could be crappier, but would be better for the few dial-up users, general loading time for non dial-up users and would save the mods from doing a lot of work.

Or you could make it a YouTube sort of system, where you just let people post whatever videos they want, and rely on people who actually watch the tutorials to report the ones that violate Community Guidelines. This might get a bit messy, but hey, you guys don't review every single post before it gets approved, and that's how we get Pokeporn spam fests. But it's unrealistic to review every single thing.

[kryogenix]

^I think this is a great way of putting it.

[Insurmountable]

I was thinking of youtube, when you submit tutorial write a short description of what the tutorial is about and post a you tube link and when they are getting reviewed a mod will go and look at the youtube video. Because then of course it wouldn't be able to have porn or anything because of YouTube's TOS

[83RN15]

why would a CB member include porn on a video tutorial?
and if any one does post porn on it.. account should be deleted
simple enough..

That sounds good. It's a better idea to keep video tutorials casual and not as tightly restrained as regular text-based tutorials, which go under review. Maybe create a separate sub-forum (or a section outside of the forums) where people just post their videos using YouTube BB codes? But I don't really see how that's different from a regular thread that members make about their new layouts and whatnot. And would enough people submit videos to warrant a whole new section?

Oh, and perhaps make it a requirement to include "createBlog" into the video title, and include a link to cB in the video details on the actual YT link so cB can get more hits.

Haha, you just don't understand the mentality of some of the members on here. Come to think of it, I don't even understand their mentality.

Accounts don't get deleted that easily either. Although I could come up with a handful of people right off the top of my head right now that ought to be.

[Insurmountable]

Deleting the account would be a bit extreme if it was a regular member.

Also I think its better to put your tutorials on Youtube, that means you'll get more hits.

[Gigi]

^ Right, it's a win-win. Easy to manage, and yet you're directing more hits over here to cB.

That's a realy good idea.
