VLOGGING… when I first heard this term, thought I heard it wrong, my colleague must have said Blogging, but no I heard it right she said “Vlogging” a term used for Video Blogging. For people who find writing a tough job, now instead of trying to write a blog and at times fail to make others feel the emotions of your article, you can come onscreen and spread your message in the wide Web World through a Vlog.
A Videoblog or “Vlog” unlike a Blog uses video as its primary media source rather than text or audio. You can use any kind of camera, be it your cell phone, digital camera or an inexpensive video camera to acquire the raw material for a video blog. Vlogs are usually accompanied by text or still images. As a Vlog contains movement, audio, stills and text, it automatically offers a richer Web experience as compared to text blogs.
Vloggers are the people who don’t want to limit their lexis by writing text but are fascinated by the richness and capability of vlogging. Vlogging is attracting the whole lot of techie and creative people who want to share their views and stories with the web world. They found that videos allow them to express themselves more naturally and with greater facility than static, text-based sites.
Creating a Vlog is not very difficult, just capture a video using any video capturing equipment and you can simple post the raw material or if you wish, edit the footage in an inexpensive or free video editing software to enhance the capture. Few of the free editing software that you can use as a beginner are Microsoft Movie Maker, Avid Free DV, Wax, Zwei-Stein and Virtual Dub. Apart from these, some of the online tools for editing, mixing and making your video more fanciful are Jumpcut, Eyespot, Motion Box, Cuts and StashSpace. Due to storage and bandwidth limitations, try to make the clip of around 1-3 minutes in length. Some places may demand specific video formats to get uploaded to their site so you can make use of Zamzar, Vixy, Flvix, Any Video Converter and Media Converter and get your video converted to the required video format in no time. Now your Video is ready to go online. Top places for Vlogging are: From the Desk of Mike Steward, Freevlog, Vlog Blog and Izzy Video.
