How to Post a Vid....
When I first found fandom in 2007, I was missing my old show and had done a search for QAF that led me to, among other things, some fanvids on YouTube. Maybe because they were the first bit of fandom that I found; maybe because I’m an audiophile; or maybe because I have no clue how to begin making a good fanvid, when I find a really amazing fanvid—one that really tells a story…one that uses the song and the clips and seamlessly blends the two—I get excited and want to share it with my Flist.
On any YouTube page where you find a video, there’s the description of the video at the top right of the page. Immediately below the description there are two lines of code. One says URL with an http address and one says EMBED with a line of html code in a box. You will need to highlight the html code in the box next to the word EMBED and copy the code.
Next, paste the code into your post where you want the video to appear. (If you are using the Rich Text mode, you can also use the insert media button, I believe, but I have some issues in Rich Text mode on my mac, so I post in HTML.
Here is an example: The Scientist by YT’s IHeartJakeToo. (Don’t forget to credit your vidder!)
Questions???
Enjoy the vid. If you double-click on it you can go to the YouTube page and read the description. It's a different take on Brian and Justin's story. If you watch a few seconds of the video, you'll quickly figure it out, I'm sure. &hearts
