Sending video by email is a fairly straightforward process involving two main steps: 1.) Creating a video file and 2.) attaching the video file to an email. If you are new to this sort of thing it might seem intimidating at first, but once you have the basic setup in place you will find creating and sending video emails is very quick and easy.
Here's how to make and send your video to BanderasNews.com. This tutorial works through the steps for making your video clip using a web cam, but the same process applies to any sort of video email, including your cell phone or camera.
To create a video file you will need three things: something to record the clip, like a camera; a microphone; and recording (capture) software.
In most cases a simple web cam is all you need, although you can use a digital camcorder if you like. The camera will typically plug into your computer using a USB or Firewire connection. Consult your instruction manual for details. If you don't have any instructions, just plug the camera in - there's a good chance your computer will detect and install it automatically.
If your computer or monitor has a built-in microphone you might find this the easiest solution, although external microphones usually provide better audio. An external mic usually has a 3.5mm mini jack connector, which plugs into your sound card (near the speaker connection.) Some computers have front connections for convenience.
If you use a camcorder, you can probably use the built-in mic.
In addition to the hardware, you'll need some software to record (capture) video clips. There are three main options:
1. Your camera may have capture software included
2. You can purchase specialist capture and editing software
3. You can use the free software which comes with your operating system (e.g. Windows Movie Maker for Windows, iMovie for Mac)
Once you have the video file saved on your computer, open your email program (e.g. Outlook Express) and create a new email. Click the Attach icon, select the video file and click OK or Attach. Note that attachments work a little differently in some email programs. Consult your help file if you have trouble.
With your video attached, send the email to: myface(at)banderasnews.com. Done! |
