Finally, 2 weeks after winning the Sony Vegas Pro 8 , I found the time to install the video editing software on my video production laptop. Watch the video here... http://revver.com/video/589596/sony-vegas-pro-8-installation-instruction/ Inside the Sony Vegas box , you will find: 1. Installation CD 2. Serial Number and 3. Four manuals. Installation is quick and easy : 1. Insert installation CD. 2. Click "Install Vegas Pro 8". 3. Wait for Microsoft .NET Framework to install first (this took a very long time, more than 15 minutes). 4. Read and agree to the End-User License Agreement. 5. Wait for Sony Vegas Pro 8 software to install. 6. Go to Start and Run Vegas Pro 8. 7. Key in Serial Number. That's it and the program starts. Thanks for watching! :) http://www.lulu.tv/vlog/videolane Adrian Lee http://videolane.com/ http://instantviralvideo.com/ http://youtube.com/videolane http://adriansjournal.blogspot.com/ PS: Learn the secrets of dvd and internet video production, sign u...

It is a joy and honour when you see your video being featured on the front page of a video sharing site . Here is my christmas video featured on the front page of Lulu.tv . Here it is again in a subcategory page. How to get your video featured? I have no idea. Probably it is a "how-to" video related to the holiday season. You get extra website traffic when your video gets featured on Youtube. BUT you get EXTRA MONEY when your video gets featured on Lulu.tv . Received 400 views in one week. Not much but worth it. Lulu.tv is one video sharing site that is not often talked about. Hence competition is not tough and you get a good share of advertising money. Lulu.tv pays you based on the number of times your videos get played. Lulu.tv puts 80% of the it's ad revenue in a cash pool. Video publishers get to share this 80%. So the more videos you have and the more they get played, the bigger share you will get. I like this system. No need to click on any ads to make money. Than...

With another flick of the same power button in the same direction as turning it on, the Sony HDR-SR8 100Gb Handycam Camcorder becomes a still camera at 6 megapixels. Here's my quick review of its still photography function when taking pictures at night. In this video, you see a montage of christmas lights photos I have taken at night, http://www.lulu.tv/?p=19801 . Here are some night photography tips I discovered with the camcorder. When taking pictures of lights, turn off the flash function. The lights will appear brighter. When shooting outdoors at night, there must be plenty of light on your subject. CMOS cameras do not respond to low light very well. Turn on the flash when the subject is within 5 metres from the camcorder. I am not a master of photography, but my Sony HDR-SR8 high definition camcorder come in handy when I need to take photos. The photos are saved in the same hard disk drive as the videos, though you can change the settings to save the photos in the SD card. On...

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.

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. Create a Video Sitemap and save it at a publicly accessible URL. Sign into Google webmaster ...

My staff will be taking their year-end holiday break from work next week onwards. I know that after a week of holiday from work, anyone will feel refreshed and rejuvenated. So I thought before they go, this would be the best time to meet up with them to review the year 2007 and to come up with new ideas for year 2008. So here are our 5 business goals for the new year 2008. DVD Video Product Creation. All these years, we have been helping clients to make videos that promote their business or videos that sell very well. Next year, we will also be making our own videos. It will not be short films, but more like instructional and educational videos. Event Videography Course. I will personally be imparting my skills for the first time to anyone who would like to start a business and make money making videos. This course will not be the same video production course that they teach in media study schools. This will be a one-to-one training to equip the individual with a valuable skill and a...
