So you want to upload some video to Sprout. We love to see what you love to do!
Ricky and Reginald want to show you how fun and easy sharing your video can be.
Watch their demo, review a few helpful tips, and then Send Your Videos to Sprout!
Determine what kind of video you have:
- If you are using a digital photo camera that also records video, than your video
should exist as digital files. Connect your camera to your computer in the same
way you do to download photos (with the cable provided). Once the digital files
are saved to your computer, you can upload to Sprout.
- If your videos are recorded on a DVD, your video should also exist as digital files.
Just insert the DVD into your computer and copy the files. Once those files are
saved, you can upload to Sprout following the instructions on our video upload page.
- If your video is on tape, you will need to transfer the video from the tape to a
digital format. Connect your video camera to your computer using a firewire cable.
Your computer may have digital editing software already installed (check your Applications
to see what is included). If not, you can download editing software from the internet
– there are many to choose from, so research what will work best for your family.
Once you have captured the video from your tape, you can export that as a digital
file using the editing software. Now that file is ready to upload to Sprout.
- If you have one of the newer pocket cameras, you may already have software included
on the camera. If so, all you need to do is connect the camera to the USB port on
your computer and your video will be downloaded to your computer. Follow the instructions
on the video submission page to upload to Sprout.
Once your upload is successful, tune in to The Sprout Sharing Show every day from
3pm-6pm ET to see if your video is featured on TV.
