Get Listed On Google With Video Sitemap

Google introduces video sitemap. It is created to help get your videos indexed on Google Video Search, that is, videos that are hosted on your own website, not embedded from video sharing sites.
By submitting this video-specific Sitemap together with your standard Sitemap, you can specify all the video files on your site, along with details such as the video player location, thumbnail preview location and the URL of the page where the video is.

Google can crawl the following video file types: .mpg, .mpeg, .mp4, .mov, .wmv, .asf, .avi, .ra, .ram, .rm, .flv.

Search results will contain a thumbnail image, title description. In addition, your video may also appear in other Google search products.

If you have some video in your own webhosting server now, this is the time to get it listed on Google and get some additional exposure for your website.

Here is how to submit a Video Sitemap to Google.
  1. Create a Video Sitemap and save it at a publicly accessible URL.

  2. Sign into Google webmaster tools with your Google Account.

  3. Add your site to your account. Your site will be the URL to the directory at which you've placed your Video Sitemap.

  4. Click Add a Sitemap beside the site.

  5. Select Video Sitemap.

  6. Type the URL to your Video Sitemap in the provided field. Make sure you include the entire URL.

  7. Click Add Video Sitemap.

    ...I started using them the moment the option was released by Google.

    Soon got fed up hand coding the XML file and so created some software to
    make the valid XML file.

    Now I am giving it away free!

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee  @Adrian Video Image  The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer.

FCPX - The storage device "Macintosh HD" is almost full

The message "The storage device Macintosh HD is almost full" appeared when I was editing a video with Final Cut Pro X on my new Apple Macbook Air M1.   Final Cut Pro Taking up Too Much Space  My Macbook Air M1 had only 256GB of storage onboard. My raw footage was only about 9GB. The biggest file was the FCPX project files itself at about 140GB! How did 9GB become 140GB? There is not enough disk space for my Final Cut Pro. Why Is Final Cut Pro Taking up So Much Storage Final Cut Pro renders files in high-quality media so that we can playback our edits smoothly direct from the timeline.  It creates multiple HUGE high-quality files of our footage in the background.   It is a good thing, so as to maintain high-quality final edited video, BUT not a good thing for a laptop with only 256GB. How to Clear Disk Space on Final Cut Pro The question is how to delete the rendered files in FCPX? 1. Select the library in FCPX...  2. Go to Files > Delete Generated L...
