Making videos is probably the easiest thing ever if you have good luck. I went through hell making this video...
It took me at least 3 days to make the actual raw video and edit it with windows movie maker. Then I went to save the movie, guess what? Windows movie maker takes a shit on me.
I have to find a new video editor. It took me about 3 hours to find a new video editor and the rest of the day to get used to it. The next day, I spent ALL day working on it. 8AM to about 2:30AM(the next day.) Then after I complete all the editing, I wasn't aware of any needed compression; so Save the movie file and it turns out that it's about 6GB. The most you can upload on youtube is 100MB. So it took me the rest of the morning(I stayed up till 5:20AM) I had to figure out how to save the file in a smaller format. I decide to save as a .mp4 (640x320 iPod Format)
I wake up the next day and figure out that it's only 54MB! Ok so I upload it to youtube.. Guess what? Error:500 @ 100% uploading! sweet. So I upload it to RS give it to T2x... He says it's ok, but it needs to be more unique. He said he was gonna make his own video and I wanted to help him a bit... So i make a new video, modify it a bit and make it look pretty sweet... I upload it to RS again and T2x uploads it to youtube saying it's a Kickass video.
Lets say the video increased sales a by over 100% the day the video was put on the homepage. Glad I could help
