Create a Video

 

Choose “Create Video” from the “Videos” menu on the left side of the control panel.

Video Name:  Enter a name for your video. It does not have to be the name of the file you will be uploading. It’s best to stay away from special characters and use only letters and numbers.

Video Credits: (optional) You can credit the person who did the video or those who star in the video (your choice).

New Album: It’s best to enter a name here such as “Videos” or something similar. After your first video is created the album name will show up for subsequent videos. You can keep it the same or you can separate your videos into different “albums” as you have more of them. Although you can leave this blank it’s best not to because in areas of ezFolk where your albums are separated it will then show up as “” (two empty quotation marks) so a simple word or two will be better.

Video Caption: (optional) You can enter a video caption here that will show up with your video listings.

Artist License: (optional) If your video is licensed through an agency you can enter it here. Please remember you can only upload videos of yourself or someone you are a direct agent of such as an artist you represent.

Explicit Content: Check this box if your video contains explicit content, but keep in mind that as a family-friendly site no explicit content is allowed on ezFolk, so if your video is somehow inappropriate for ezFolk it will be removed.

Hide Video: Check this box if you don’t want the video to show up on your page. When a video is hidden it will not be listed in the search engine and it will not be playable. An example of using this option would be to hide a Christmas video after Christmas, then when the Christmas season approaches again you could have it display again without having to upload it again. Statistics will also remain intact when the video is made available again.

Upload Video File: Browse your computer to find the video file you want to upload. There is no official size limit but remember that in streaming video over the Internet smaller files are easier for view. Very large video files may not be viewable by many users and might also cause some users’ computers to lock up and have to be rebooted. Acceptable formats for videos to be uploaded are WMV, MPG, and MOV.

Video Viewer Access: “Streaming + Downloading is the default but if you wish you can change it to “Streaming Only” or “Downloading Only.”

Upload Video Image: (optional) This is a regular graphic image such as a JPG file that will be associated with the movie.

Select Gallery Image: If you have other pictures that you have already uploaded you can choose one of them for your video image by clicking “Launch Image Browser.”

Be sure to click on “Create Video” at the bottom of the page to save the video and make it available for viewing.

Note:  After at least one video is uploaded there will be new options on your control panel to “Modify a Video” and “Delete a Video.”
