Instructions for Uploading Digital Video to Associated Content

I must admit that I am intimidated by video. I was scared to try to upload a video to Associated Content. I knew that I didn't have the first clue as to how to upload video. However, I recently have been writing many articles and well I ran out of things to write about! So I decided to try my hand at submitting videos to Associated Content. After six hours of trial and error I learned how to upload my short digital video onto Associated Content. There's not much else to do today anyways since there is a blizzard outside...

Is your digital camera video capable?
The first thing you will need to check is whether or not your digital camera has video capability. Either read your cameras manual or look for a little video camera symbol on your settings dial.

What is the format of your video file?
My Kodak Easy Share camera records the video as a .mov file. When you connect your Easy Share camera to your computer the transfer window will appear. When the transfer window appears highlight your video file and select transfer. Once the transfer is complete you will need to click done. After clicking the done button the Kodak Easy Share image program will open.

How do I convert my video file to a windows format?
Now that you have transferred your video file and the Kodak image center is open you will need to convert your .mov file to a .avi file. This conversion is easily done within the Kodak image center. Locate your video within the Kodak image center and highlight the file. You can highlight the file by single clicking on the file. This will add an orange box around your file. Once you have highlighted your file move your mouse up to the top menu bar and click edit. Once the edit screen appears you will see a save as button in the lower right hand corner of your screen. Click the save as button, this will pop up a new screen with a drop down menu. Change the name of your file and them click the drop down menu titled 'save as type.' Select the .avi file type and then hit save. You have now converted your video file to a windows format. With this windows format you will be able to compress your file.
