The Lip Flapper: Volume 6 - YouTube Panel + Bonus

[TEKnician]

the person that brought up the upload system here though has a really good point. if that were as easy as on youtube, we would get a lot more visitors and members here. and inviting people to be active here wouldn't be so hard. I've tried to get a few editors here and always they're like "how the f do i upload" (because, like me, they click the "upload new video" link first) and even after (or while) i'm explaining it to them, they just give up and don't feel like it's worth it when they're right at home on youtube without such a hassle. i think that should be pretty priority with that fabled "Org redesign" yall talked about a while back.

The upload system can be a big hook, lure, and bait for all the youtube guppies hoping to snag a nibble at higher learning As far as an .org re-design, I'm all for it.

I've got enough interviewees, so I'm happy to announce that there will indeed be a bonus panel next week covering the more positive aspects of youtube than compared to a-m-v.org. If you would like to join us, just pop me a pm!

It's nice to see a newcomer's take on the org and editing, and so on. And praise the lord, she's normal

WAIT WAIT WAIT! Is that a good thing!?

Also, would more interviews from newcomers (or less seasoned editors) be something others would be interested in?

I would! For obvious reasons, but also because as a genral rule I think it's nice to get as many perspectives on a topic as possible. I've enjoyed the other interviews a lot, it'd be fun to see other approaches.

It was pleasant to realize that you're a girl. Seems my intuition is not failing

I dunno if I will be here by 2013, but you seem to have potential. Not all days we have videos with interesting concepts. Keep doing the amvs. Seems you might be the rookie of the year

Thanks! ^^ As mentioned, I'm a bit of a slowie - but I'm definitely (probably) going to dom ore of these!

Q: What's the best way that the Org can be nice to the newbies?

Be helpful! Give useful feedback, and point people in the right direction. Positive or negative, there’s no need to be too harsh, but there’s no need to sugarcoat things either.

^^This^^

Something every newbie editor needs. From personal experience, after asking so many experienced editors for advice on what makes an AMV better and actually READING their advice , Anyone can learn soooo much from their advice on what they believe makes an AMV better and the questionnaire can learn so much more.

Definitely! it's a bit scary though. ...am I the only one that feel like I'm about to do an exam when they upload things?

Not to mention, beta tests help a lot

exactly! you can explain EXACTLY what's wrong but MOST noobs will take that as flaming and won't listen! OR you can just say 'watch a lot of good videos and take what you like from them! *not literally, find your own sources but...)' but the most likely response is this, "I wish you'd have just SHOWED me what's wrong!!". But again, when we do SHOW ppl what's WRONG we get attacked for 'flaming' them.

SO in the end your stuck between a rock and a hard place, most ppl choose just to say 'watch good videos...'. And the Noobs complain. It's a neverending cycle. you'll have your chance someday I'm sure!

geez lol you've not even been here a month!! lol well at least it got you onto the forums! Hope you feel right at home and welcome to the org! Great idea here with this one Code, I do get tired of hearing from established editors... perhaps an RIAA oficer next time xD You know some lawyers don't you??

A real great read Code. I was surprised when you contacted me about the Youtube thing.

Keep up the great progress Code. I look forward to future issues

Also, It was nice to get to know Baka. I hadn't heard of her before hand so I look forward to seeing one of her videos.

Youtube was the first community I met, I grew up with it for a considerable period of time, like 2 years, but as somebody have already said, it was quite useless and got me bored. I'm still registred on it and I think it's the better way to share videos, but it wasn't intended to be used by AMV creators, so I think that it's very limited compared to the Org. But it's my opinion, because when I need to download a video for enjoy it, when I need a forum to talk about AMVs, when I need a specific way (like the opinion exchange) to comment an AMV, someone else simply doesn't need it, or thinks that it's wrong have the download link of his own videos because somebody can "steal" it and upload it on Youtube. I think it depends on what people are looking for.

Whole topic was definitely a good read, thanks for this, Code. :3

I've got enough interviewees, so I'm happy to announce that there will indeed be a bonus panel next week covering the more positive aspects of youtube than compared to a-m-v.org. If you would like to join us, just pop me a pm!

Was wondering if Chii is going to be one of the interviewees in a part 3 sometime? I was expecting her to already be in this second set of editors, but she wasn't.
I'm curious to read her opinion: it's the one person I know that quite literally left the org because found youtube better, so I really want to hear from her on this topic.

I contacted Chii several times (to be on both panels actually), but I never heard back from her. I assumed that she must have been busy or my messages got buried on her youtube inbox. XD

I, too, really wanted to hear her feelings on the topic.
