Re: Hands On: How to Produce Your Own Video Resume

Hey Jason, thanks for the comment! Your video is looking good, definitely on the right path. I noticed that your video on Youtube is a little small inside the Youtube player. Perhaps take a look at your editing dimensions inside your video editor so you can take full advantage of the size. Excited to see how the green screen effect works for you as well. Make sure to use enough light!

Hi Tineke, thanks for the comment! Sorry for taking so long to respond. I think the reason you are experiencing this is because the account you have on Vimeo is the free version, which does not allow HD embedding of your videos on external sites. In order to be able to embed videos on your website that are HD, you need to upgrade to the next payment tier unfortunately.

Hi Michael, thanks for the comment! I think SEO depends heavily on the titles and tagging you decide for your video, as well as the content of the video. Google ranks videos higher that have information relative to what people are searching for. I think Youtube may be a little better since Google owns it, but I have seen many Vimeo videos that rank high on search as well. Really depends on the title, description, tagging, sharing and comments that your video has. It also helps if popular websites refer to your video as well, or if it is posted in many trust-worthy places.

Hi Haruki, there is an option under the video settings that allows you to check a box if you want viewers to be able to download it.

I agree Dave! I have not used Vimeo's captioning a ton, but I have noticed that Youtube is a little further ahead in this area.

Hey Albert, thanks for the thoughtful response! Glad this resonated with you and found it helpful. In regards to your question about 4K recording to 1080p editing, that is exactly right. The only issue with that may be your computers processing ability. Since those 4K video files can get extremely large, you just need to have a computer powerful enough to handle them. But yes, shooting in 4K and editing in 1080 would be ideal. And yes, Moab is unreal! Glad I am not the only one lol.

I always tell my interviewee to look at the person asking the questions and pretend like the camera and equipment are not even here. People can become extremely uncomfortable talking into a camera. It's very rare when I ask someone to do that. Making them feel comfortable is the most important!

Can't agree more! Issues are bound to pop-up when you least expect it.

Hard to say, we haven't really experimented with 4K footage here yet. I'm not sure if you would need to go all of the way up to a Mac Pro though. I know some of the new iMacs offer some pretty impressive speeds for processor, graphic cards and RAM. I would also look into getting a solid state hard drive as well. Those can increase your load speeds dramatically. Depends on what video editor you are using as well. Adobe CC does a great job of handling those large files.

Hi there, thanks for the comment. My first thought is that your problem has to do with your lighting set-up. Lighting your subject and green screen properly is going to be the most important part of getting a nice looking outcome.
