I just emailed VIPKiD to ask about video length. They do recommend videos to be 10-15 secs but they will accept videos up to 60secs as long as they don’t exceed 100MB :)

@karenhornsby 6 лет назад

My video exceeds 100 MB but is only 51 secs long. How do you compress the video to make it smaller and able to upload?

@jalarise8495 5 лет назад

10-15 seconds??? All you can say is hi and bye! Lol

@qwrightpurses 5 лет назад

Hi...I’m trying to upload a 54 second intro video that’s about 74 MB, but the upload keeps failing. I’ve tried from two different laptops. Do you have any tips?

@EclecticAesthetics 6 лет назад

Michael Venn Question, when you playback your video through the app does it appear grainy-like it's filmed in a different resolution?

@MichaelVenn 6 лет назад

Avanta it is def a little bit grainy but not to the point that it's unwatchable

This was a really helpful video Michael -- THANK YOU! I'm recording my introduction video later today and I really had no idea what to do with it. Your example was just the visual I needed. Sadly, I don't juggle, sing OR play the ukulele.☹️. I do have some fun props though and will try to incorporate them so that I can hopefully make an impact on potential students and their families.

@MichaelVenn 4 года назад

I would suggest you shoot on whatever you have available (smart phone is fine). I edit on Final Cut but iMovie is free and works great. I get music sometimes from RU-vid using a RU-vid to mp3 concert or online.

Hi Michael, What a great video with solid advice! Question for you: what type of lighting would you suggest for daily lessons when natural sunlight is not an option? Can’t wait for your next video!

@MichaelVenn 6 лет назад

Tiffany Green hey, thx! I will make a more detailed video about this soon but in short 2 Lamps (w no lampshade) placed on either side of you (ideally the bulbs are above your eye line) should be suitable :)

Hello Michael! I am having an with resolution. If my video is 15 seconds or less Ultra 4K works. Any second more I have to lower it to 1080p HD. then the playback on vip is grainy and not as clear. I would like to make my video 20-22 seconds to do some editing adding parts of my class. Any recommendation on videoing or editing so I get a clear intro video? I feel mine is greatly lacking. I also have a large selfie overhead lamp that I feel just creates more shadowing :( Would you recommend to video with my lgv30 or dslr and then upload?

@carlahernandez2896 6 лет назад

@Alykat514 6 лет назад

WOW this is an awesome informative wicked helpful video. I love the lighting, the simplicity, clear speaking, and starting out with saying "My name is..." while pointing to a sign with your name and then saying "I am from...." and I could hold up a flag of America, great ideas. I definitely don't have the video editing camera or skills or know anyone, do you know who can do this for me, where can I go to find it? Also where is the notification button? You say you don't have a Bachelor's but I thought with vipkid that was a requirement? Where can I find out how much money you make with VipKid versus 51Talk? Also, any ideas anyone have on working with Spanish-speaking kids or adults? Thanks!!!

@MichaelVenn 6 лет назад

Alyson Ferro hey thanks for your comment! I don’t have a bachelor of education degree but I do have a bachelors degree. I’m not sure who can help with your video but maybe make a post on Facebook? You never know who might be able to help out. Also I made a video about how much I make with VIP kid, not sure about 51 talk because I’ve never worked w them. Thanks for watching!

@michelesekaquaptewa8976 6 лет назад

Hi Michael. This is a great video and super motivating for me to redo mine! Haha! Anyway, you said play to your strengths in the video like if you play a musical instrument, etc. I do play piano, but I doubt I would ever use it. So my other interests include quilting (avid, though beginner, quilter here!) and reading and playing with my daughters. How would you incorporate that, if at all? I do have an ABC quilt hanging in my classroom but that's it.

@MichaelVenn 6 лет назад

Hey! Thanks for your comment. Even if you wouldn’t use it in the classroom using your piano in the video might be helpful - SO many students also play piano so it could be a good way to relate. If not, I think showing off your quilt and simply saying “I made this!” Might be enough. Good luck!!
