 All right, welcome. Yes, we're going to talk today about YouTube Capture and Creator Studio, all YouTube, all day. All day. Corey Dahl from USU8 to learn today. Lisa Pospischel from Norfolk Public Schools. All right, let's just get started. This self-paced learning is something that I think has come about even more recently in the fact that technology is allowed for more self-paced learning. Don't you think? Yeah. Or another avenue for self-paced learning? Yeah. It's so easy. A lot of you may have heard the term flip learning. And I think that's driving a lot of this self-paced learning where it's on demand whenever you want. That's exactly right. And the pause, rewind, play again, what that means is I can watch a video that somebody's made. It may be a teacher, it may be a how-to video, it may be whatever the case is. And I can pause it if I need to think about something or if I get interrupted. I need to hear it again. I can rewind it. How about that kid in class who just won't raise their hand and say, can you repeat that, please? Yeah, you know, it's and or if they get home and they realize I don't quite understand it as well as I thought I did, they can always go back to your video and watch it. Right. And the availability of it 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Whenever they want. Right. So when the students are gone, in this case, they can still watch the video. You know, the other important thing for me when it comes to video with students is the ability to use more modalities in the learning process. You know, when you look at research, you'll see that learning pyramid. If I'm just talking at students, they're not going to recall 95% of what I say after two weeks. But as soon as I can add some visuals to it, along with my words, I'm combining multiple modalities which kind of creates a synergy in learning. And allows students to connect images to what they're learning. So they're going to retain it longer. And I really think we need to take more advantage of this technology tool. You know, but it wasn't always easy. Right. You're right. Yeah. That leads us into this next piece. And we have over there the easy button with the line through because it didn't used to be easy. If you've been around a while, you will remember this process. So I won't. Right. So if I wanted to record something, step one was typically you had to go to the library to find the camera, right? Right. So you go to the library and check out the camera. So far, so good. But this never fails. Uh-huh. Because you know, nobody's actually touched it for a week or two and the batteries are dead. Right. So it might take a couple of hours. So if you were planning on recording something, great. But I'm sometimes about this, we want to record this right now. So now, you know that moment's gone because you had to wait for a break, get to go to the library, check it out and charge the battery. And then so you go back to the library because there's no tape. No tape in the camera. Or it was already recorded on and you don't know if you can delete it because the last teacher may not have retrieved her footage down to her computer yet. Cause she couldn't probably find the cables. Or in a 60 minute tape, you know, there's two minutes left. Yeah. Yes. Yes. So back to the library. And you know, just to get another tape. And now you're finally ready to record the video. Yep. You're finally ready. And I do it. And the kids are great. Right. And it finally works out. You haven't recorded, but then what? You have to do what? In the olden days. What do you call the olden days? You have to connect that camera to your computer. And what do you need to do that in that time? Yeah. Lisa, what do you need? The right cable. Right, the cable or the cord. Yeah. And oh, you look in the bag for the cord and there's no cord. Or it's the wrong cord. I always would have a ton of those VCA cords. Oh. Right, so what do you do when you don't have a cord? Go back to the library. Back to the library. And to find the cord, you do an all call for the cord. Glad I'm wearing my pedometer today. Right, right. Yeah. Do an all call for the cord. Yeah. Finally, you get it off of the camera and onto your computer. Which is a noise easy. Right. Oh, that's not easy. And now you're finally going to be able to edit your footage. Finally. Yeah. Or if you're too tired, you don't want to edit it. Right, so I think people used to not do this because of the process we're describing. It was just too much, wasn't it? Yeah, I was a diehard though, but no, those would not even go there. OK, next. When you're finally done, you're going to do what, Lisa? I get to export the movie to a CD, DVD or a cassette, which VHS tape or cassette. Yeah. The problem with this is that only a few people get to see it. So who gets to see the video? Just a handful of people. You know, if I only make one DVD, I check it out to my kids and, you know, probably gets lost along the way. So very few people, right? You should spend a lot of time on this already, shooting, downloading, editing, and just if you make 10 copies, that's it. Yeah. And I've made those copies for teachers and it's taken me a full day to make enough copies for teachers and DVDs. Yes, not even to mention the time that it takes just to copy it, take it out and put a new one in. An hour. Right. So very few people get to see it. That's the answer. Just because it's too much work. Well, things have changed. Very much. Thank God. And what has changed now, Lisa? I really think the mobile devices, you know, and like you said, mobile can be a computer or, you know, an iPad and iPhone and iPod and Android, you know, whatever. Because laptops, laptops are mobile. They are. And they usually have cameras on them. So this is the new process. Notice the green color too. It's go. Now it's go. Just take out your mobile device to shoot. And you're going to capture the video right on that device. Nothing special. The app is usually right there and I just record. Right. You didn't have to find a tape and wonder if the tape has any space on it. And most mobile devices have great battery life and you're always charging it. So. Right. So after you shoot it, you edit right on the device. Right on the device. There's usually a program for that. And some more sophisticated than others, but you have choice. You know, it's great. And when you're done, now you're still on your device. You have the device with you. You shoot it. You edit it. You know, when I say shoot it, you record it. You edit it. Now you're ready to upload the video. Yeah. As easy as that. No cables need it. Who gets to see this now? Anyone you want. That's the beauty. Right. You know, you have choice. And I think that's probably what scares people. We say the world, but it's if you choose. Right. You have control. And we're going to talk about that later on in the podcast. Right. Right. Because often people are scared or worried or concerned about putting stuff up to YouTube. It's our kids. But you can lock it down as much as you choose. Yep. Exactly. So, well, we'll definitely get to that. So if you have Google+, you have YouTube already. Yeah. You know, a channel. Yeah. And that's really my choice for sharing. I think most people have access to YouTube, understand YouTube. And they do give us those controls. Although there are other services like Vimeo, which are just fine to use also. To me, I think YouTube is a standard. It is. And they have a lot of cool things in there now that make creating your video even better. And that's what we're going to share with you this second half, right? Right. So let's talk about Capture. This is called YouTube Capture. And I'm specifically talking about for an iOS or for an Apple device, like an iPhone or an iPad or iPad mini. So that's what we're talking about here. It's a free app. Free app. And it's just called Capture or YouTube Capture. And it looks like that there. So some basics of shooting video before we get started. Lisa, what do you see when you look at this? Now, I'm not going to play a video here, but this is a screenshot of a video. But what do you see? I see a lot of wasted space, because somebody did not turn their device. What do you mean wasted space? What are you talking about? Wasted, see these black areas on the left and right side? That is all wasted real estate on your film. And this is a specific diagnosed syndrome. It is. And what is it called? We diagnose it as Vertical Video Syndrome, or VVS. Do not contract VVS. It's bad. So when you look at this, when you look at this here, this TV here, this is the way TVs sit, right? So it goes this way, right? Not this way. You kind of look at that, and that looks kind of funny. But how do most people hold their phones when they shoot video this way? And this is how it turns out on your TV that way. Even their iPads, I see people holding it that long way. Right. So basically, since your TV sits this way, and I just love this, I found this down here, and I've given credit where I found this. Here's the link to that. It's a good digital citizenship. That is. Good job. Since your TV sits this way, hold your phone this way. Yeah. You will thank yourself years later when you have your kid video and you have the whole scene. It fills the screen. Right. So why I love YouTube capture, there are many things I love about it. But this is the first one, the first reason why. Now, when I'm ready to use the capture video, and I've started, and I'm holding my phone the wrong way, look what it tells us right here. It's saying what? What is this symbol? It tells me to rotate my right. You can't start yet until you rotate your phone. It helps us not be stupid. YouTube people who did this are geniuses. Yeah, they are. They said, you know what? We're not going to allow you to do it wrong. No. Got to do it right. Right. OK. So this is just a close-up of it again. It just says, oops, sorry. She's happy clicker. I am. So this right here says, hey, rotate it. All right, next. Next. Now when I get started, Lisa, what is it we're looking at right here? That is the big record button. You know, when we used to have cameras, what button do we push? There's so many on there. But this is so clean and simple. I like it. Right, I like to say, if I haven't ever used this, I could figure out where to push to get it started. And notice on this screen, they don't overwhelm you with a lot of stuff. And this is pretty obvious right there. It is. Once you've recorded. OK. What's up here? Yeah, you may want to go look at your video you took. So it tells you how long that segment was and allows you to preview it if you click on there. Right, if you want to. Right, after you're done. Or you can just simply click on this and then record more. Right, right. Very good. Now down here, what is it we're looking at with these two arrows on either side? You know, whenever you see those three lines, that means if you press and hold on it, you can grab it and move it. And so this allows you to clip either the left or right side. So if I just put my fingers here and I just push it in like that, now I've clipped off or taken off or edited just to begin. Maybe there are some talking or we weren't quite ready to take it off. Or maybe at the end, you know, you didn't need something. Yeah, yeah. It's pretty basic, though, isn't it? It is. You know, and what's nice is, then I can go and add more clips to this too. And I've seen that in its recent updates. But next, this is the really kind of fun part for me, because making the videos, we want the easy button. We don't want kids to take a lot of time to make their video creations. But you have the ability to do what next? Add music. Add music. And that, to me, is a big deal. Because a lot of people immediately when they do something, they want a little bit of music in the background or whatever the case is. And it's amazing how much that adds to a video creation. And I would say that before the past when I would do videos, that was just too much of a bother. I really rarely put it, but they make it really easy here. Because you can select either something from your device. Or. Or what I really like is the YouTube soundtrack. And that's because it is copyright-free, creative commons when it comes to YouTube soundtracks, and really stick to that. But if you do have music, you select from your device. Right. But before we go on to the select music from your device, I like what you said about YouTube soundtracks. It's copyright-free. It's good digital citizenship. They're saying, we've created this for you. Please use it. You have all the rights in the world. And you need to talk with us about your kids, with your kids, about copyrights and things like that. So I would recommend using this. But if you don't, if you do click on, select something from your phone or your iPad, here's what you'll get. A little reminder about copyright and digital citizenship. The other thing that will happen if you put a song on there that is copyrighted, is that they will either take it down and send you kind of a nasty email. Or they'll put advertisement on it, and you can't help it. And you don't have control over what type of advertisement they put on your video. So sticking with those ones from YouTube, and I find they have a big catalog that can fit almost any mood. You really just, you don't need anything special. And it's growing to those changes and improves. So when I'm done shooting the video, and I've added music, it's really easy to just put a title in. I can obviously title it, whatever I want. And then when I'm done, I can upload. With that easy button right over there. And when you hit upload, it gives you a choice. And this is where we said, who gets to see it? And this is probably what scares, I think, teachers and parents about putting video up there on YouTube. The default's public, right? The default is public. It is public. And you want it. Public means literally what? Anyone can see it and search for it. So it is out there for anybody to see and use. What do you typically do then in school? If you just don't want anyone to see it, what do you usually pay? I choose Unlisted. Because that gives me a lot of freedom. I can take that link and I can put it on my school website where my parents go. Nobody else goes there. And they can get the link. I can embed the video in there. And anybody that clicks on it can find it. But it's not searchable on the YouTube channel. Can I take that link and text it or email it to someone? Yes, I could. Yeah, anybody. That's what you wanted. Yeah. If I had an email list for my parents and grandparents and anyone I choose in the world. Now, this will prevent someone from copying that link also and sending it on. But it does limit it. Yeah, very much. It does. And just a quick story. My husband teaches over at Catholic. And he has a Ford exchange student. And he had her do a video Christmas card. And we did it as Unlisted. And she sent it to her family who sent it on to her family. And with that family over 50 people have viewed that video. But it was Unlisted. Nobody else can see it. Right. But it's not private. Only you can view. But then if it's only you, then you'd have to actually type in email addresses of some people. This is really the most secure. But you also have to manage emails and have emails on there. So you really can't lock it down. Notice the different levels of public, where they just get to play it. Here's a panel lock. But it's open. Right. So it's kind of protected and then completely locked down based only on email addresses. Yeah. And if you made the mistake of making it private or public and you wanted Unlisted, later on, we're going to show you where you can go change that. So I can change it anytime. Yeah, you can change it. Right. You might have it as Unlisted for a while. And then maybe when it's done, you lock it down. Right. OK. So next, now, that was the mobile device. Right. When I say mobile in this case, I was talking about, I was really talking about your iOS device, your iPad or your iPhone. But now what we're talking about is on a desktop computer or a laptop computer. Right. Or Chromebook. Or Chromebook. Absolutely. It works on a Chromebook. OK. And that is going right to the Creator Studio. And that is found when you have a YouTube account. Like I said, if you have a Gmail account, you have a YouTube channel once you go to it and create it the first time. I will suggest that you don't use your personal Gmail account for your classroom YouTube or your school one. If you want to keep those videos if you ever leave that school system, I would go ahead and just create a Gmail account for your classroom so that you have those videos there and they're yours to keep. But if you ever have students sign into it, they're not using your username or password. OK. So when we log in, we come up here to our icon. All right, here's mine. And come down to Creator Studio. This is something that changed a year ago with YouTube. And they tried to put everything in kind of a suite. Right. OK. And when you go to the Creator Studio, you have this dashboard up here. And we have our video manager community where a lot of people with my channel, they'll send me messages of my channel, Analytics, so I can see who's actually viewed it. And then down here to Create. And that's where we want to go right now and show you how easy it is to create on the internet. Now, it used to be that the internet wasn't powerful enough in order for us to do this. But let's go ahead and go on. With the Create, you can record video using your webcam, right? Right, absolutely. OK. So this is not just for students. It can be for teachers. But to do that self-reflection of maybe a paper they did, a speech that they did, create slideshows. So I can take still pictures that I have available to me and publish that as a video as well with transitions and things. And I can edit my uploaded video. I really like this idea. If you have students doing multiple projects or say you all went on a field trip and everybody had a device and they were taking video, they upload it, I can actually stitch those together into one video right here. Yeah, right in the browser. I think it's really powerful. Very much. So here we are at Create. Just looking at that clean interface, right? Right. Here we have the video you chose. Right. I'm in Video Editor. The one thing that always messes me up is I click Create and it's default is Audio Library. And so click down here to Video Editor, get this. And it will come up with different videos that are in your channel that you've already uploaded. And you'll get that with the video camera right here. Right. And you just click on one of those to bring it down here to the timeline. Right, this is your timeline. And what's this blue line that goes up and down? It's called a playhead. Playhead. Yeah, and in different programs, it may be a different color, but this playhead is really important when it comes to editing your video, right? Right. OK, so let's look a little bit more up here at the tools that we can add. Right. I keep forgetting to pick up that arrow, right? Right. But we said that you can create a slideshow. And this is where you can do it with the camera right here. I can add more pictures where YouTube just used to be video. Right. But I love the ability to make a slideshow. So it doesn't even have to be a video. I'm going to create a video from images, right? The other piece to it is just like in the capture. In the capture you can search for. Now, there's, I believe there are many, many more. So like in your example here, it's just cinematic, but you can change to other kinds. And there's so many. And notice the lengths. They're a minute, two minutes. You just spend some time shopping for them. They're free. They're copyright free as well. Yeah. So you have the choice to add music. Yeah. Use it. Notice too that the difference between the iOS device, you typically mobile devices aren't as powerful as far as editing and things. So now, again, we're on the computer. And notice all the different choices like this. Lots of transitions. Yeah, transitions. So if you have pictures or if you have multiple videos, you can add a number of different transitions just like in iMovie. Right. Is it really easy? Can't believe this is all online. The other thing that's really nice is you can add some narration with text. And they just have different places that you can put it. But the text is really kind of nice when it comes to creating and adding a little more depth or emphasis to a part of a video. So now that you're done, well, you're done. And you want to go back and edit something that's already been published. Can I do that? It's already been shared. It's out there. Can I still go back to it? Yeah. Like we said, if you made a mistake and made it public instead of unlisted, that's where you need to head to your video manager with the Creator Studio. And if you click over here on video, all your videos that you have uploaded will be listed here. And you can just click on it or you can click right here on Edit. When you click on Edit, you're going to be taken to this screen, where first you see your video and then I have my thumbnails. Now a lot of times YouTube just randomly chooses that first picture that you see in the video. You get to choose. And what I really like now is they've added this custom thumbnail. So let's just say I want a picture of my class there. I can put that in there. I can also come down here. This is some basic information. Add a little description. But take a look right here where it says public. Oh, I made that mistake. I want to make it unlisted. That's where you change it. In videos, edit, come here and change it. Now if we change it to unlisted, where is the link on this screen? There's a share link. Right there. You can get it there. And you can even get it if you go to the video itself. And you just copy this and share it. And real easy to embed into Google Sites or Weebly Site. It makes it great. Also shows some of the different analytics for the video, how many people watched it, if liked it. That's the place to go. I do want to point out advanced settings. This is where you go if you don't want people to make comments. And I've had that problem with some of my school videos. I have inappropriate comments. So if I don't even want to mess with that, I can go into advanced settings and turn that off. And coming up here, this is where we're going to take you through the next piece. That if I'm in a video already and I want to do some other editing, we're going to head over to enhancements, right? Yep. OK, so here we are. Oh, we skipped that one, didn't we? Yeah, but you can do some enhancements with some audio. Enhancements means stuff with change the color. You can make it black and white. We just chose to not show a lot of those because typically they're not used. But just know that they're there. And you just by clicking on it, it's self-explanatory. But annotations really add something out. This is different to me than earlier when we were talking about adding text, right? It's more like a title page or something. But if you're talking about something here and you click on annotations, then you can add a little call out there. And you can go over here to the right and choose your speech bubble and the color of it. And so maybe right when you're talking about something, you have this little flash of a little and people tend to go and then look at that when it shows up. Yeah. And there's a lot of times where I'll make a video and I'll upload it. And maybe I forgot to say something. I found this really handy. Just go put a speech bubble in it and it calls attention to it and you're done. Right. So for instance, I forgot to tell you to hit Save or something that you could just quickly, even though you didn't say it in your recording, you can say, hey, remember to Save when you're done or turn it into Mrs. Pospershill or whatever. Yeah. Works well. It does. And then you just republish it once you get done. It will ask if you want to make a new one or just replace it, just update it. Very good. So how about planned absence? If a teacher needs to be gone and they know they're going to be gone, right? Right. Or maybe it's a sick day and a few minutes just you want to make a quick video to tell the students what it is they're supposed to do. This is why this YouTube Creator Studio is awesome, whether it's the capture on the device or it's the YouTube Studio. It's just as simple as clicking Upload and then you get choices here on the right. You can just record from using the camera on your computer, slideshow or whatever the case is. And then look here. Right again, there is a public. Remember, that's the default. So I can immediately change this before I've even started. So more than one place to do that. One more place. If you're using the webcam, that's as a teacher if you're giving instructions to your students, you're going to get this message. And all you want to do is say, allow it to use it, not deny it. And if you don't want to have to click it all the time, just click on that. Remember my choice of allow. And then that'll. It's just basically saying, hey, can we have permission to use your camera? And you're giving the computer and YouTube permission. So if I haven't ever used this again, that red button right down there again is pretty self-explanatory about recording. Just kind of give the introduction, click Upload, send the link to the sub. Or sometimes the secretary, you know, whoever has the ability to go to your classroom and upload that video. Or if you're using YouTube class, or not YouTube classroom, Google Classroom, sorry. You can now send this link to Google Classroom. The kids already have their assignment. I mean, it's just an option. Yeah. Well, and I think it's a nice connection to make with your students too. Plus they think you're really techy if you do that, right? Exactly. Pretty impressed. So we've given you YouTube Capture and Creator Studio as ways to quickly shoot video, edit video, and upload video, and share it. Yeah. And they're free. They're free. And I hope that we've taken away some of your fear with using video in the classroom. I think it's really an important step that all teachers today need to make, because our kids, that's their future. That's how they're going to communicate is with sight and sound. And I think just jump into it, play with it a little bit. I don't think you'll be sorry. So thanks for joining us. You bet. Thank you. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at the service unit. Or Lisa, if you're part of the Norfolk Public Schools, or even not, you will still answer. Yeah, I try. I try. Thank you, Lisa, for joining me today. Sounds great. Thank you.
