OpenShot do not currently have an export profile to easily export to
Wikipedia.
It would be interesting to have such feature in OpenShot for helping end-user
to contribute to the Wikipedia open-video project.
In the following recent document:
"Video for Wikipedia: Guide to Best Practices"
http://openvideoalliance.org/2010/10/video-for-wikipedia-guide-to-best-practices/?l=en
It can be read...
"In 2010, as as part of a campaign to encourage individual video contribu-
tions to the Wikimedia Commons, the Participa- tory Culture Foundation
developed and released the Miro Converter, a free, automatic converter which
creates Wikimedia-ready files from almost any existing asset with no prior
technical knowl- edge necessary. The Wikipedia community has embraced the
Converter, and any user who wants to upload open-video formats can do so, again
with the push of a button."
Here are some hints to help OpenShot team implement such feature in
the future, hopefully sooner than later... :)
How to publish video on Wikipedia ?
http://videoonwikipedia.org/howto.html
Proposed guidelines for video
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Videos
- limited to 100 MB (no longer than 3-5 minutes)
- dimensions of 320x240
- convert the file to the Ogg Theora (.ogv)... webM shall also be supported
sometime in the future by wikipedia...
- recommend the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License
- upload at: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload ?
Happy coding !
