 Today is a good day to make a video. The application I used to record my videos is Screencast-O-Matic. I also use a blue Yeti microphone to actually record the audio with. I've just finished doing an initial pass through my Screencast and just did some basic edits, did some little transitions that cause I find those a little bit easier to do in Screencast-O-Matic sometimes. So now I've listened to my Screencast, I've got a good idea what I want to do with the intro and how I want to close it out with my outro. Hey there, Seattle Bonds here for Ohio University Libraries. In this video I'm going to show you how to use version online to create a custom comparison for it to compare companies in the same industry. So the intro and outro component may seem like a lot of trouble. Now, I think that's important because Ohio University is such a big place, the library is such a big place, we have so many vast resources that I think it's important that people can see a name and a face that they can ask for help. I also think it's important that people see me as a resource as I'm demonstrating the resources that we pay for and honestly it takes a little bit extra time because you've got to actually combine the Screencast clips with the on-camera clips and that takes a little bit of extra time to do some editing. It's now time to actually caption the video. This process can be a little bit tedious but it's also very very important to make sure a video is accessible. Next, I'm going to create a thumbnail for YouTube to use PowerPoint to actually create my YouTube thumbnail. A variety of things you could actually use. The PowerPoint is my tool of choice because it's easy for me to create something that is informative yet looks okay. Now we're going to upload our caption file, our thumbnail and our video. We're going to publish this thing and we're going to go viral.
