    To post YouTube videos in a thread, all you have to do is "wrap" you video number in [youtube] "tags"

    1) Find the YouTube video identifier on the URL of your video. It usually looks something like: 3LVyaFOIhn8

    2) In the editor, hit the "Wrap [youtube] tags around selected text" button and the tags will appear.

    3) Insert the video identifier between the tags and Click "Preview Post" to make sure it works and that's it!

    Happy posting!

    Yo-Jimbo! That's some neat video work there. Looks like you had fun with additive dissolves! What software did you use?

    Ulead Video Studio 11, it is pretty easy to use, and relatively cheap to buy... I originally used a way older version in high school years ago, and it was so easy which is why I have it now. I've seen some good stuff made with it on youtube, I don't really have any video to work with though.

    Any thoughts on a "motography" section to the forum? Or is that just sort of blended in with the expectation of photos with posts? edit(now this question is irrelevant ;))

    While were on the subject, what software did you use when you were producing your DVD, and how did you do the menus?

    Adobe Premiere series was used from start to finish. If you're looking into some slightly more capable and mid-level professional software for not too much I suggest using Premiere Elements. Has lots of cool authoring (menu-making) templates which are extremely customizable.

    If you're interested in DVD authoring or video production, it's essential to have good working knowledge of Photoshop as these two integrate seamlessly and are used for all kinds of effects (titles, transitions, etc.).

    Also, learning how to use key-frames is extremely important as well as proper sound editing. All of this really takes some time and bunches of practice. More professional software can make certain aspects easier but will also give you more options than you'll know what to do with...just like photoshop.

    If you haven't already, check out the ChongQing moto expo video. It's got voice over, live track, looped music, simple title effects and basic sound design principles in it. Same software for that but of course no need for authoring.

    Sounds good Carl :) I haven't used premiere, though I am familiar with many adobe products, I just use ulead for the price difference, same reason why I have paint shop pro as apposed to photoshop. Although, I am certain premiere is more capable then ulead, ulead is decent for simple stuff like I used it for :)

    I did check out the video, not much on the Lifan side of things, guess they had a boring line up?

    I did exactly what your today`s answer said. I also found the "wrap arround Button". Now I am waiting since 1 hour and in my post is still the "Quote, xo-RAG6cLwc" reading.

    in "preview Post" it was the same. From YouTube I am used to wait a longer Time, is this the same in this Blog?
    I know, every beginning is not easy.

    I promise, when I got it, I will make a teaching Video and post it in this Blog. for the next one`s to have an easier Start.

    Sabine,

    In your post it should look something like:

    [YOUT*BE]xo-RAG6cLwc[/YOUT*BE]

    Replace the * with U because if the U's are there, it will embed (show) the video in the post like...



    If you do it correctly, it should show up almost immediately. Maybe Andy can help explain in German if I am not too clear?
