Projecting videos in a church service - give viewers a time frame
Stewart Redwine writes in Christian Video Magazine about an issue with short films being projected in a church meeting. “The problem with short films shown in a Church service is simply this; no one knows when the video will end.” They know that TV ads last 30 seconds, music videos 3-6 minutes, and TV programs 30 minutes. They have no frame of reference for engaging with a video short, unless we give them help.

Susan Boyle video clip - the power of viral transmission, and lessons it teaches us
When a video clip goes viral (ie. is passed from person to person), it can spread exponentially. You may well have seen viral video clips such as a boy using his Star Wars light saber.
The latest is a moving human story. UK’s new series of Britain’s Got Talent started on 11 April. The TV company wisely ensured that for the first show, among the usual dross of dear people with a somewhat deluded perception of their own talent, there would be two performances of quite incredible power. One was the street dance group Flawless, who gave a blindingly good demonstration of utter talent.
But the unexpectedness of the gifts of another competitor, Susan Boyle, was a news story trailed in advance, and has since gone round the world. A middle-aged unemployed spinster who lives alone with her cat, and describes herself as ‘looking like a garage’...

Video clips for Christian ministry - easy way to make one
We often respond to visual images much better than pure words. On the high street, do you look for words or known shop logos? It’s the shape and color of ‘Subway’ or the ‘M’ of McDonalds we recognize, not the word itself. On our computer desktops, we look for the PowerPoint icon, not the word. Images say much more than words alone, and magnify their effectiveness. And moving images hold our attention. There is great potential for video clip outreach.

YouTube embedded video - prevent related video options being displayed when video has finished
You can actually link to a small portion of a video clip, rather than the whole thing. And a major potential problem for sites embedding a clip using YouTube’s generic copy-and-paste coding: when the clip has finished, YouTube by default inserts a range of thumbnail links to other video clips it believes are related to the topic. Problem is, they may not be, and at worst, can be very very inappropriate. But there is an easy way to stop these appearing, so that all that displays when the clip has finished is a ‘replay’ button. Just add &rel=0 to the end of both Youtube video URLs within the embedded code. This easy but little-known tip is so important that it deserves very wide circulation in the web world.
