Hi Joe

Thanks for your response.

I think that the Youtube includelet is all that is required really, as it keeps the storage load off of the voice system and avoids any choices of which conversion is required.

This needs to ensure that only the nominated video plays and control returns to the website after it finishes, so viewers are not exposed to other Youtube videos at the end.

The only downside is that one needs to learn at least 2 more skills,

1. Learn how to create a Youtube channel which means dealing with the American circular mindset. One day they may learn how to create an organised and logical framework but not likely.

2. Find and learn how to use a suitable video editor.

Maybe a couple of Voice help pages on the 2 subjects may be helpful.

I think that end of the day you cannot be expected to be a one man band for all these subject areas so maybe it might be worth asking for vounteers to start up various help groups to create centres of expertise.

e.g.

1. A photography skills group.

2. A video editing skills group

2. A youtube channel skills group

etc.

The task for each group would be to create Voice help pages for their subject area.

I may as a newbie, be missing the fact that such resources already exist.

Regards

Bryn

There'll soon be a new and comprehensive Getting Started helpsheet in the documentation, that I've been working on recently.

I'll announce when it's published to the Voice website.

It does however only cover how to do the Voice side of things. How to edit photos and videos on your computer is so dependent on what computer and software you're using that I'm not sure it'd ever be possible for Voice to cover this usefully.

Your suggestion of a 'skills group' for these things is interesting.

In the first instance you'd be welcome to ask on the forums if there is anyone who could help you with any tasks, and we can raise it at the next user group meeting. I don't really have the capacity to run any groups, but if there are a few like-minded individuals who are keen to do so they would entirely have the blessing of Voice, and I'd be willing to help where appropriate! :-)

Thanks!

Joe
