Let’s have a first zoom meeting so I can explain what is currently happening in YouTube, how videos get on https://youtube.com/wordpress at this moment (divided into [playlists](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpJf6LGZ0a4n9Lj4aVt9spg/playlists)) and why we should not just ‘switch completely to YouTube’. If you have ideas, have experience in other projects related to this or even just want to listen, please indicate your preference on [this doodle](https://doodle.com/poll/ecsyp87v4d8thy6u) so we can schedule our first YouTube brainstorming. The link to zoom will be given on the slackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform [https://slack.com/](https://slack.com/). The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at [https://make.wordpress.org/chat/](https://make.wordpress.org/chat/) [#wptv](https://wordpress.slack.com/messages/wptv/) channel some time before the start. _Notice/disclaimer: I will record the meeting, but only for the purpose of my personal notes that I want to create at the end._ **Please indicate your preference in doodle before Tue 11-Feb 09:00 AM Central European Time.** Hope to see you all! Pascal.

Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process.” of the new video tutorial about editing the video before submitting them to WordPress TV. In a weekly chat we talked about the need for a **new tutorial** to unify the process and to make the tutorial more consistent because now we have a written tutorial for Windows users (here: [Shotcut tutorial](https://make.wordpress.org/tv/handbook/video-editing/video-editor/)) and a video tutorial for Mac users (here: [iMovie tutorial](https://make.wordpress.org/tv/handbook/editing-video-with-imovie/)) using two different applications, **Shotcut **for the former, **iMovie **for the latter. We chose to use [Shotcut](https://shotcut.org/) because of its easiness of use ( at least in doing what editing for WordPress TV requires), and because it matches some important requirements such as open sourceOpen Source Open Source denotes software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified.

In this video I recorded the basic steps for cutting unwanted footage at the beginning and at the end, adding the intro/outro slides, adding the speaker’s slides when needed and exporting the final video.

About 500 people attended Contributor Day and one of the tables was reserved for WordPress.tv. A team of 8 spent most of the day together: @dartiss [@foliovision](https://profiles.wordpress.org/foliovision/) [@sanelakurtek](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sanelakurtek/) [@lesleymolecke1](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lesleymolecke1/) [@mazzomaz](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mazzomaz/) [@stk_jj](https://profiles.wordpress.org/stk_jj/) [@mgelves](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mgelves/) and myself ([@casiepa](https://profiles.wordpress.org/casiepa/)). After a short introduction on where the WPTV team kicks in, some practical sessions and then also discussions were held. A summary of the day: * Some received videos were reviewed, edited and prepared for upload (add intro, compress) * Existing tools for video editing were discussed: Handbrake, iMovie, Sony Vegas and FCPX * A discussion was tabled on the reach out for new WordCamps: Reach out to organizers before, explain what WPTV does and can do, make sure they link to the WPTV event from their website afterwards. * Another great discussion was held on how to recover ‘orphan’ WordCamps, e.g. existing in YouTube but not in WordPress.tv or where no videos were found at all. The team started with Nashik WordCamp and during Contributor Day, the first videos were already uploaded. * Some extra thoughts that came up and should be elaborated: - Add video links in the handbook to have more visual. For some written texts in the handbook, some videos already exist, so make sure to link them. - Get camera kits in Asia and India. To be discussed further if this is feasible. - Find a way to add ‘Click here to help WordPress.tv’ below any video. How to improve the way of getting videos and contributors? Both on WordPress.tv as on YouTube.

There have been 35 interviews published since the first 2 on June 16th, 2016. The first few weeks, I was trying to publish 2 interviews per week but it was recommended that I cut back to 1 per week. I quickly agreed because it was very evident that it was going to be difficult to keep that schedule up. I have been able to have 2 or 3 interviews scheduled in advance and at least 1 video interview in reserve in case anything unexpected happens. For the most part the selection for people to be interviewed has been random. I take a look at recent WordCamps, speakers or organizers, Twitter comments, etc. It has worked fairly well. One thing that I want to mention, 2 of the published videos were actually a compilation of short Skype calls that I did during Global WordPress Translation Day 2 on November 12th. Of the 35 interviews, 18 are non US. The map below shows the locations. https://cldup.com/GW0S2VjdKy.png As far as my setup, it is very simple and easy to use. I use a MacBook Air with either a Audio Technica AR 2100 or a Blue Snowball. Also, I use earbuds to reduce speaker noise back into the mic. I use the Ecamm application with Skype to record the calls. For processing the videos I use Screenflow. This app is not very expensive and fairly easy to use. I had a voiceover done using Fiverr which has worked out great. I can insert text, lower thirds, effects, etc. The Skype calls ‘usually’ last about 15 minutes or so. We talk for a few minutes before I do an introduction just so I get over some nervousness. I am trying to concentrate on cutting out the ummms and ahhhs. The average length is about 10 minutes, although a few have gone almost 20 minutes. I try to follow a loose format of an introduction, talk about WordCamps, the WordPress Community, anything special the guest might be involved in and then wrap up. This has worked well so far. That is pretty much it.
