Video Tube Help |
| Video Tube is ontworpen om video's weer te geven
van hedendaagse video diensten. Video's insturen is geautomatiseerd voor sommige videodiensten.
Je kan zoeken in Youtube, Daily Motion, Metacafe en blib.tv. Je kan een een preview bekijken
en direct een video insturen zonder deze site te verlaten. Als je in het hoofdmenu op zoeken klikt
(onder het Video Tube Menu) dan zie je het invoer scherm zoals hieronder.
Let op: Afbeelding kan iets afwijken afhankelijk van de dienst die gekozen is. Het kan zijn dat sommige diensten niet beschikbaar zijn op deze site. |
 |
| To begin type the keywords to search on in the search box then press the Search
button or press the *Enter* key. How the search results will appear depends on
configuration settings when Video Tube was installed. If the search results appear
as video thumbnails ONLY then hovering (moving mouse pointer) over the
thumbnails will display their titles. Search results may also appear as thumbnails
with full text descriptions. Just above the search results you will see how many
total search results were found and which results you are viewing (how search results appear
will vary between the different video service search selections). Navigation buttons
*Back* and *Next* can be used to select which page of search results to view. |
 |
| When you click on one of the thumbnails a preview of the video will appear in
the Portable Video Viewer and the required fields will be filled in automatically in the submission
form. |
 |
| The title and artist are not separate in most video services.
An optional Artist entry field is provided if you want to manually enter this info
but it is not required. The description field is also optional. If you fill-in the description then it will
appear under the video when the video appears on the display screen. If this field is left empty then the
description retrieved from the video service will appear. If categories are enabled then the last step prior to submitting
the video is to select the category in which you want your video to appear. |
 |
| Now click the submit button and you are done. You should see a message on the screen
indicating whether or not the submission was successful. If this message indicates an error
occurred then please report this to one of the site administrators or webmasters. |
| |
| Another option is available if you wish to submit a video from
a video service other than those already provided as Search features. To manually submit a video
select Manual Submission from the Main Menu under Video Tube, here is what the submission screen looks
like. |
 |
| Manual submission requires a little more work because no automated features
are available. You must visit the Video Service's website to acquire the full embedding code for the
desired video, the video title, the video description and the URL for the video thumbnail. As an
example let's say we want to post a video that appears on Live Leak. First we head on over to
http://www.liveleak.com and perform a search to locate the desired video. |
 |
| The search results appear as thumbnails with text descriptions. When you
locate the desired video place your mouse pointer over the thumbnail image and right click the mouse.
A group of menu selections will appear on the screen. Select the item labeled Properties. |
 |
| A properties window will appear on the screen. You want to copy the text
that appears to the the right of Address: (URL). This is easily accomplished by placing the mouse pointer
at the beginning of the test, depress the left mouse button and hold it down while dragging the mouse
pointer to the end of the text. Now release the left mouse button. The selected text should become
highlighted. To copy the selected text to your clipboard (this is a temporary buffer your computer
provides) press and hold the < Ctrl > key then press the < C > key. Now the text has been copied to
your clipboard. |
 |
| Now we want to go back to the manual submission form on the site. Click
on the box to the right of Thumb URL. The cursor should now appear in this entry field. To paste the
text from your clipboard press and hold the < Ctrl > key then press the < V > key. |
 |
| Next we need to go back to the Live Leak site to get our embedding code.
Let's select the video to play by clicking on the thumbnail image. The window should transition to the
video play screen. Now select the View Embed Code button directly under the playing video. When the
embed code text box appears click on the box. All of the text inside the box becomes highlighted.
Once again we press and hold the < Ctrl > key then press the < C > key to copy the text. |
 |
| Heading back to the manual submission form on the site again, this time click
on the box to the right of Full Embed Code. The cursor should now appear in this entry field. To paste the
text from your clipboard press and hold the < Ctrl > key then press the < V > key. |
 |
| You can repeat similar steps to copy the video title and video description
or you can make up your own title and description. That's up to you. There is also an optional field for
you to type the video service name if you want it to appear under the video thumbnail. |
 |
| Now click the submit button and you are done. You should see a message on the screen
indicating whether or not the submission was successful. If this message indicates an error
occurred then please report this to one of the site administrators or webmasters. |
