I am not sure we have the tools in distro right now that are capable of producing a high enough quality video meant solely as a promotional propoganda. I personally think F10 is too early a timeframe to try to do this and be successful considering the current state of editting tools in the distro and our cumulative lack of experience trying to use them. Tutorial screencast and interviews, are going to be far easier targets to succeed because they won't need much in the way of editing, or direction. And I think its extremely important that we limit our video production efforts to only using in distro tools for anything which could be conceived as official. If individual users want to use external tools and create promotional videos that's fine by me.. it's not like I can stop them. But if its coming out of the Fedora Marketing or the Fedora Art group as official work, then we need to stick to in distro tools and start having a real conversation about finding contributors who can work with the upstream developers to make these tools better. Hell, I haven't even started to poke people about making use of blender yet to generate artistic video content. I also don't know how we are going to ever be able to provide embedded video in a way that makes sense on our main site. Flash doesn't support ogg yet, so we can't easily generate a flash video that works for our userbase. And for people outside our userbase, I'm not sure there is a way to embed theora into a page and have it work for people. Is there a java applet floating around that lets you embed theora and view it? -jef -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
