Hi guys, thanks for the talk. I sure am a dry interview, sorry about that. I ran out of caffein, as you know.
I wanted to add some info for people thinking about video podcasting. For one, YouTube technically isn’t a video podcasting platform, but it does get you an instant audience because the community is so large.
There is another video service called Blip.tv, which I highly recommend because it’s free and supports .mov and .m4v files that can be used with iPods/iTunes. As well as hosting your video ‘pod’ files, Blip.tv encodes the file into a Flash video format for play on web pages. It’s a much higher quality Flash video file than what you get with YouTube. I upload my videos to YouTube for the audience, but I also upload the same video to Blip.tv. Blip gives me a high quality Flash video for putting on my web page and it doubles as a host that stores and serves my podcasting video fiiles (.mov, .m4v, etc.) on an RSS feed for iTunes. Then I upload the same video t9 MySpace for the heck of it.
The crazy thing is that storage and bandwith for video is free but I have to pay to store my much smaller mp3 files on Libsyn. The only restriction on Blip is each file can’t be more than 100 mb. It’s actually cheaper to video podcast these days than to audio podcast.
Green screening: Only the weather lady has live green screens. The processing involved in generating that effect can’t be done live without very expensive professional equipment. I use an Adobe After Effects plugin for green screening which works great with consumer DV video (DV tends to be a little blocky). It’s done in editing and takes a long time for the computer to process the final output. Out of the box green screen (keying) plugins work faster but the outline around the subject isn’t as clean.
I’ve said too much.

Charles Cadenhead has notified us that there is a large blank section at the end of this show… eight minutes and four seconds worth.
Our apologies.

Boy, I just learned that I’m an old dinosaur. I was wrong about the live green-screening. I just tried a product called “Vlog It” by Serious Magic and it does everything the last TV studio I worked in did. Live green screening, live titles, live video inserts: you can be just like Jerry Todd from SCTV. It’s a video Podproducer / Castblaster. Vlogging with this $50 product is easy and quick.
