- Abstract
This presentation has been refactored from the original [1] version proposed by Jan Ainali, with his permission.
SUMMARY: This presentation will present the state of the video uploading to Wikimedia Commons and use in the Wikimedia projects as of 2016.
AUDIENCE: This will provide a an overview of the video standards and challenges to those unfamiliar with video in Wikipedia, while also informing advanced users about the innovations in the past year and development directions.
It will be divided in a number of parts:
- Introduction to what videos are accepted on Wikimedia Commons, with comments relevant from both a technical and a community standpoint. We provide some numbers and statistics on how video is being used, and a brief tutorial on conversion methods will be shown.
- An overview of the available tools for the actual uploading will be presented, as well as where each individual tool have an advantage. The tools video2commons, videoconvert and the Upload wizard will be touched upon. Some restrictions that might affect some of these tools will also be mentioned as to give the uploader the best possible options.
- Where might video be suitable for an article and what might not? The talk will focus on how to record videos that specifically will be useful for articles on Wikipedia. Tips on both hardware and software will be included. Everything from mobile phones to high end camcorders will be touched upon.
- Best practices regarding subtitles (also known as “timed text” on Commons) will also be included. External tools that can be of help will mentioned. This section will include short points on what templates may be used.
- Future development will be discussed, including progress on Brion Vibber's ogv.js code to play video in any modern browser, and a collaborative video editing solution developed by Mozilla Foundation, and furthered by the Internet Archive and other open source developers. We will also show some interesting experiments with other types of multimedia related to video, such as photospheres.
- Finally we want to open discussion on how they want to include video in their local project.
