How to upload your videos to the server:

 * NOTE: this is a pretty complex process, and the slightest deviation from these instructions will leave you confused and frustrated. PLEASE read all of these directions carefully, and follow them to the letter!**


 * Before you begin this process, on your desktop create two folders: Quicktime_Movies & FLV_Movies.**


 * Step 1: Export your project to a Quicktime Movie**

 * 2) Set the play head to the first frame on the timeline.
 * 3) Select , , 
 * 4) In the dialogue box, give your move a name: (example: Schlabotnic_Silent_Short) **TIP:** Don't use any spaces...it makes the file name messy on the web!
 * 5) Make sure you have the  box selected
 * 6) Save your export in your Quicktime Movie folder


 * Step 2: Convert your Quicktime Movie (.mov) to a Flash Video File (.flv)**
 * 1) Open your Quicktime Moves folder on your desktop
 * 2) Drag the desired .mov file onto the Adobe Flash Video Converter icon (red filmstrip) on your dock (this will open the application)
 * 3) A new window will open called Flash Video Encoder. In that window, locate the file you just dragged in (it will look something like: /Users/schlabotnic/Desktop/Quicktime_Movies/Schlabotnic_Silent.mov
 * 4) Click one time on that file to highlight the line.

 * 11) Click 
 * 12) You will now return to the Flash Video Encoder box.
 * 13) Click 
 * 14) When the encoding is complete, there will be a new .flv file in your Quicktime_Movie folder. Drag that movie to your FLV_Movies folder.


 * In order to upload your files, you must have Cyberduck installed on your computer. You only need to do this once:**
 * 1) [|Click Here] to download Cyberduck
 * 2) When it is finished downloading, call me over to your computer so that I can enter my password to continue installing.
 * 3) Drag Cyberduck into the  folder on your hard drive.
 * 4) Now drag the Cyberduck icon from the  folder to your dock to create a shortcut.


 * Step 3: Upload your file to the server**
 * 1) Click on the Cyberduck icon (rubber duck) on your dock
 * 2) Click  in the upper right corner of the window
 * 3) In the <Server> box type: ftp.video.tjcomputermagnet.com
 * 4) In the <Username> box type: video_student
 * 5) In the <Password> box type the class password that I gave you
 * 6) Click <Connect>
 * 7) Open the <video.tjcomputermagnet.com> folder
 * 8) Drag your .flv file into your folder
 * 9) Quit Cyberduck when you are finished uploading your .flv files


 * Step 4: Posting your movies to the Computer Magnet site using Word Press**
 * 1) Open Firefox (you must use Firefox; Safari will not work properly!).
 * 2) Go to []
 * 3) Click on <Login> located at the upper right part of the screen just above the masthead
 * 4) Next to <Username> type in your full name like this: Joe Schlabotnic
 * 5) Next to <Password> type your student number (after you log in please change your password to something other than your student number that you will remember)
 * 6) Now that you are on the "Dashboard", click on <Add New> under <Posts>
 * 7) In the top post, Type in a title for your film. Example: It Was a Dark and Stormy Night
 * 8) In the main body of the post insert this code: [flashvideo file=http://www.video.tjcomputermagnet.com/Firstname_Lastname/thefilenameofyourvide.flv /] (obviously in the last part of the code you need to replace the "Lastname_Firstname/thefilenameofyourvideo.flv /" with your names and your file name. **TIP:** If you want to make it easy on yourself, go to this url [|(http://www.video.tjcomputermagnet.com/]), click on your name, and then <Control Click> the file you want, and select <Copy Link Location> and then paste that directly into your code. (It is also best not to put any spaces in your file name...it clutters up the url with cumbersome % symbols.)
 * 9) On the right side, under <Categories> select <Student Videos> and <Your Name>
 * 10) Under <Publish> on the right side, click <Preview>. A new tab will open with your post in it. Test the movie to make sure it works. If it does not work, you probably have an error in your code in #8 above. Check that over. If it still does not work see me.
 * 11) If you want to work on this some more prior to publication, simply click <Save Draft> in the upper right.
 * 12) Finally, when you are sure you are done, click <Submit for Review> under <Publish> in the upper right. I will receive notification, and then after I approve the post I will publish it. It is not possible for you to publish anything without my approval.

Now, share the links with friends and family for endless enjoyment!**
 * If you have any questions please see me during class. Please make sure that the videos you upload are your final drafts!
