HOW TO CREATE YOUR VIDEOS & UPLOAD TO YOUTUBE !

YouTube has been a Real Asset to Communities Worldwide and a Tremendous Tool for
People to Communicate, Share & Express themselves by way of the Video medium.


THANKS YOUTUBE !

YouTube permits its members to share their Videos by allowing them to copy the Unique
YouTube Allocated URL Link of Your Uploaded Video and place this on another Website.

It is this YouTube Permitted Usage, that YAKMATE utilises for You to Have Your Say !

CLICK TO GO TO YOUTUBE

I CAN HEAR YOU ASK ...

WHY YAKMATE?

QUESTION
Why use YAKMATE when the Video is uploaded to YouTube ?

JACK'S ANSWER IS ...
YAKMATE Assigns your Issue & Video to an Elected Representative &
connects you to others in the Wider Community with a simliar or the same issue via the
YAKMATE COMMENT FORUMS.

Each time your Video is Viewed on the YAKMATE VIDEO Page, so is the Name of the
Elected Representative in the MEMBER & ISSUE Table to the side of the Viewing Window.

These combined provide Public Scrutiny & Accountability for Actions taken, or lack thereof.

YOUR YOUTUBE ACCOUNT & UPLOAD OPTIONS & BASIC TIPS ON CREATING VIDEOS !

YOUTUBE ACCOUNT ...
As YouTube will be used to Upload & Store your Videos
You will need to have a YouTube account.

If you are new to YouTube, then I have provided a few static Screen Shots of Various
YouTube Pages below, to assist you in,
Creating a YouTube Account, Uploading your Video
to YouTube &
where to Locate the Required YouTube Allocated Video URL & Title to
Submit & Share on YAKMATE
.

Create your New YouTube Account
 CLICK HERE ! by signing up to YouTube today, Mate  !

CREATE ...
Many Electronic Devices today have the ability to Record a Video.

You can Record your Video with a Digital Camera, Web Cam on your PC or even a
Mobile Phone that has a built in Video Camera.

Equally there are a number of different software packages that provide Video Making &
Editing Capabilities.
Many New Computers have pre-loaded Movie Making Software such as
Windows Movie Maker.

You Do Not have to appear in Your Submitted Video.

In some instances the Video showing the Issue with your Audio only may be appropriate.

HOWEVER,
it is Recommended that in some circumstances you are seen in the Video, so as to put
a Face to the Issue.
This may be the only opportunity and as close as you ever get, to
Convey your Issue or Point of View Directly to your Nominated Elected Representative.


This way you will not just be another Anonymous number !

Do not Personalise any Anger or Frustration you may be experiencing towards any
Particular Individual or Group when making Your Video.


Target these emotions in a Positive & Constructive Manner to
Highlight
your Issue so as it is Clearly & Concisely Communicated.

MAKE YOUR VIDEO PRECISE, CONCISE & FACTUAL !

Once you have Created your YouTube Account & You have a Video you wish to
Upload to YouTube then you will have
three main ways available to do this.

UPLOAD ...
The Three YouTube Upload Options are:

(A). VIDEO COMPUTER FILE :
Where You Upload from a Stored (Pre-Recorded/Edited) File on Your Computer

(B). QUICK CAPTURE :
Where You Upload Real Time (Live) Directly from Your Webcam

(C). MOBILE PHONE :
Where You Upload Directly from a Video Stored on Your Mobile Phone

You can use the Screen Shots I have provided below to assist you with the
Uploading of your Video, in conjunction with the actual YouTube instructions
on their General Support Centre Page available via the following link.

CLICK HERE !

The three Upload Options are shown below in the YouTube Screen Shots.

These Options are accessed by the Upload Link on each YouTube Page as shown below.

Clicking on this Upload Link on any YouTube Page takes you to the
YouTube Video File Upload Selection Page
as shown under the section (4) of the
YouTube Screen Shots below.

When Uploading your Video to YouTube you can provide some written details relating
to your Video Content while it is processing your Video as shown below in section 
(A).

When YouTube has finished Processing you will be able to View your Video.

Once your Video has finished being processed by YouTube, you will then Submit the
YouTube
allocated Video URL & Title to YAKMATE
on the YOUR YAK Submission Form.

Along with the YouTube allocated Video URL & Title (which you Copy from YouTube
& Paste into the Submission Form), you will also be required to enter written comments
in the YAKMATE Submission Form on the YOUR YAK Page.
You can use the same comments (Copy & Paste) that you supplied to YouTube.


YAKMATE will then provide a Link to your, Video (on the VIDEO Page) &
Comments (
on both the YAKMATE COMMENTS & VIDEO Pages),
that you authorise & wish to share with the Wider Community.

should be the word Yakmate,followed by words / sentences describing your Video Content.

The Privacy option, to use YAKMATE should be the first option.
i.e. Share your Video with the world.
