In my earlier blog - "Producing a Video - part 1", I stated that I would record a video this weekend. Unfortunately, the title "Producing a Video - part 2" was taken so, I have switched the title of the follow-up training to "Face the Camera".

I have moved over from my blog as it is not possible to embed or link to a video in a WA blog. So, here I am in Video Training. My first training and my first video!

I mentioned the Udemy course I am following, and as we are close to Black Friday and Udemy courses are all at $9.99, I thought it is worth passing on. I recommend the Udemy course - "Confidence On Camera: Make Amazing Videos, Easily" by Alexa Fischer.

I had fun creating this video, and I feel I have broken the ice with regards to facing the camera and posting online! I welcome your feedback, and if you have any questions, I am happy to answer them to the best of my ability.

My thanks to Jay (Magistudios) for explaining succinctly and to the point; convert the MOV (Apple) file to MP4. My original MOV file was about 4GB in size (a 7 minute HD recording), the resultant conversion was a more internet friendly 282MB HD MP4 format.

I used a free app from the App Store on my iMac. It was straightforward, semi-automatic and only took a few minutes to complete the job. The developer's website, deliver's a 404-page not found, and it looks like they market the paid-for version. The free app is still available in the App Store and is compatible with my old iMac running Mojave 10.14.1.

Take your time, but just do it. You’ll laugh, and you’ll cry, but you will get better.
