This month’s AC Video Webinar continues an ongoing exploration of various online video publishing possibilities and while Facebook is not out to be the premier publisher in online video, there certainly is a lot of potential in sharing your videos on Facebook.

As with all your content on Facebook, videos you publish can be LIKED by others and also SHARED with others, and you can specify who can and can not view your videos. This makes Facebook a viable destination for publishing personal video materials to the web and videos you use for work and other purposes.

AutoConversion would like to welcome back our friend and colleague Roger Stix from Atlanta Business Video as our guest presenter who will share with us some useful tips for getting your videos onto Facebook. Roger is the chief Producer at ABV and has extensive experience in video production, publishing, and syndication.

Stix will give us insight on formatting your videos properly for use on Facebook. He then will walk us through the process of….

• Publishing videos to your Facebook Profile
• Making your videos appear on a Page
• Making your videos appear in a Group
• Sharing your video with friends and lists

Please join us for this insightful look at the use of videos on Facebook this Thursday April 29 at 11:30am EST. We will begin with a brief orientation of the AC Webinar series and registration process before handing the controls over to Roger for his presentation which should last about 30-40 minutes.

Some people struggle with the idea of a single system being utilized for both personal and professional use. Many people do not understand the intricate sharing capabilities of your information on Facebook, that you can post information to be shared with only the people you choose.

For instance, you may want to post commentary on an article that only your Real Estate buddies might enjoy, but your family or bowling league friends might not need to see that. Maybe you want to post pictures of your kid’s birthday party but you don’t want ALL of your Facebook friends seeing it. Only family members and people that were there.

These are common situations we all have and fortunately Facebook is designed for you to share only what you want and with whom.

One way to achieve this is by using the Lists feature in the Friends section. The List feature enables you to create a variety of lists for various purposes. For instance, you could create lists for people you went to school with, people you work with, people you don’t know well, whatever you feel the need for you can create a list for that. You can associate the same person to more than one list and you can create as many layers and combinations you like.

For instance, I have a list called “Pic Friends” which I add friends to when I am comfortable that they would see photos I post, like of my kids especially. I also have a list called “Virtual Buddies” which are people I have never met and do not know much about, but somehow became connected. I don’t need pics of my kids in the browsers of people I do not know well, but I may still want to share harmless fun with them. Lists are perfect for this.

Later this week in our AC List Builder Webinar series we will be exploring the basic use of Lists in Facebook. In this free webinar we will cover…

• How to create a list
• How to add Friends to lists
• How to share Wall Posts with lists
• How to share Photos with lists
• How to send Messages to lists

These core functions in Facebook are highly useful and with a little bit of effort can prove extremely useful, especially when you want to send a message out to more than 20 Friends. By keeping your lists limited to 20 people you can more easily send messages to large groups of the right people.

If you are already registered then you will receive an email reminder from GoToWebinar with your access to the training session.

By registering you will receive an email for each webinar within the AC List Builder Series which is about every 6 weeks. There is no obligation to attend this or any webinar within the series and you may remove yourself from the series email at any time.

While we can not cover all of these things in a single webinar, we can take a stab at them bit by bit, in an orderly fashion, which is precisely what we set out to do. In our last AC Video Webinar we looked at How to publish video to Brightcove and several months ago we offered some tips and advice on preparing to make videos for the web in general.

This week we are pleased to welcome our friend Roger Stix at Atlanta Business Video as our guest presenter who will share with us some tips for getting your final videos to the web using Viddler. Roger is the chief Producer at ABV and has extensive experience in video production, publishing, and syndication. Viddler.com is a video hosting and streaming service that many people and business utilize.

Stix will give us insight on formatting your videos properly for the web depending on intended actual use. He then will walk us through the process of publishing videos to your Viddler account. Viddler is not the only place to publish videos but it is some good features and benefits worth exploring.

While there Stix will give us pointers for optimizing your videos based on intended target audience, plus some more subtle capabilities of the Viddler system that could be handy.

All-in-all, the game plan for this week’s AC Video Webinar is:

Please join us for this insightful look at the Viddler system this Thursday March 18 at 11:30 am EST. We will begin with a brief orientation of the AC Webinar series and registration process before handing the controls over to Roger for his presentation which should last about 30-40 minutes.

Brightcove was recently recognized as a leader by Forrester Research, Inc. in its report, The Forrester Wave™: U.S. Online Video Platforms, Q4 2009, which was published today. Brightcove was among the select companies that Forrester invited to participate in its Wave report, and the company received top scores across all of the major evaluation categories.

We are new to the system but have been considering Brightcove among other online video content providers for several months now. We believe the system has the innovative platform we need today, and the vision and leadership to keep pace with our ever-changing video needs.

The webinar will concentrate on 2 of the 4 core modules of Brightcove:

1. Media
2. Publishing

For the Media module we will be looking at how to upload new media and associate media with a list.

For the Publishing module we will look at how to create a project/player and, time permitting, may even go through one way to place your video on your blog or website using Hana Code Insert, a WP plug-in we commonly use on our WordPress sites.
