Video checking OLD

Note

This is old information, these days we use ffmpeg-editlist and ensure that no learners are in the videos in the first place.

.. seealso::

   :doc:`video-editing` tells how to edit yourself.  This page
   describes how to check a video for processing.

The purpose of this page is to give video processing volunteers a starting point. CodeRefinery produces a lot of videos, and learner privacy is important: we can't post videos until they are checked. These videos are mainly useful to the learners of the very workshop, so we need them quickly (and for every workshop).

Overview

  • Ask for the directory of videos. It is on Google Drive or something similar, but is not public.
  • Look at the tracking issue. Find a unclaimed section of the course.
  • Watch the video.
    • Carefully look for any appearances of learner video within the video.
  • Copy the template below.
  • Fill out the template.
  • Paste the answers into an issue.

* Filename: day1-obs
* Start: 25:13
* End: 45:00
* Segments to cut: 36:12 - 42:10
* Audience visible:  none

Other notes for channel description:

In this first episode, we go over the basics of using git for a single
local directory.

Why do we ask all this? It saves time for the person who has to upload it to YouTube.

  • Title: what would it be called? You don't need to include the workshop name, someone will add it.
  • Filename: you don't need the full filename but indicate what file you were searching (often we have a recording and backup recording for each day)
  • Start, end: start time of the segment
  • Segments to cut: Segments which should be cut out. Don't be strict, it is better to get it out fast than cut out every 3-minute break. But if there is a ~10 minute break or idle time, then we can cut it.
  • Audience visible: Time periods where any audience (not including staff).
  • Other notes for channel description: Describe the content of the video, include any links. You can think what is useful for someone to find this (but it doesn't have to be perfect).

Other comments

  • How small should segments be? First, it's better for videos to exist than be perfect, so the 3-hour segment is better than nothing. Short lessons (1.5 hour) are probably fine to be at once, and long ones (git intro/collab) could possibly be each episode separately. Discuss with others to see what you would like.
  • Ideally, there are two videos from each day: one recorded by Twitch (raw dump of the stream), and one recorded by OBS/Zoom (local recording). The OBS/Zoom recording is preferable. You can tell them apart via the filenames.
