This is possibly a suitable blog for this post. I don't want to start too many of them. Wifi is still not ready for video or at least phones are not likely to cope with the size of files. The cameras in phones are getting better but I am still using my very reliable Kodak Zi8 with a little card I take home to a desktop. Suppose a file is 150 to 300 megs. Is that in the limits of a phone contract? Coming up soon in Exeter is #likeminds, a good time for experiment. Some people visiting will have the kit. Last year the hardware on display was mostly phone cameras. Not that #likeminds is a hardware show of course.
But sometime in the next couple of years it will be possible to upload web video from a phone and have a reasonable result.
In the last few days I have noticed some changes in web editing online. I found a link to WeVideo and then looked again at YouTube. WeVideo started in Norway with education and is now launching from California for a wider public. It is a cloud editing service but also a social network. I have not tried out sharing clips yet but can see how it would work. Actually I find it a bit difficult still. It is not obvious that you have to request an email validation and then activate YouTube etc before you can either export to YouTube or get a notification. I tried to exsport to the WeVideo YouTube channel and the site itself but these may be in a queue somewhere. Anyway tst1 has turned up on YouTube
This is just two clips put together. (I followed Kev to the Amber Rooms after the St Sidwells Community Centre Open Day. Sound systems very important for video when you rely on the camera mike.)
Another example, adjusted for lighting with Kodak Media Impression
(possibility to edit reggae clips with other forms of music)
It has taken me a while to realise that lighting can be adjusted in an edit. But WeVideo and similar sites can make this more obvious.
So then I looked at YouTube, also claiming to offer online editing but I had not tried it recently.
Again they offer a "Fill Light" option. Summertime set to 4 just a moment ago. Yesterday I tried it on The Girl from Ipanema
Previously very hard to see
The idea of cloud video editing has been around for a while. But it is getting closer to somewhere nearby.
