Ensemble,+Format+Factory,+&+Flip+Cam+Instruction

Here in the NRCSD we subscribe to a video hosting product called Ensemble. This means we can create videos or capture already created videos and upload them to Ensemble who will host them for us and play them back. Ensemble allows us to have these videos played back publicly or privately. Ensemble will create a site the videos can be viewed on and provides code so videos can be embedded in a site, blog, wiki, etc.

One of the ways we can create video content is to use a Flip video camera. Although very simple to use there are a couple of things you should know as you deal with the video and use on our network.

Depending on the purpose there are many times we need to convert videos to various formats. To make this job easy, each building in the district has a freeware tool called Format Factory which is available on the network.

Directions for Ensemble, Format Factory, and the Flip video camera can be found in the pdf below.
