Making your video easier...

Ok so we want to make this as easy as possible so we are expanding the video area of the application. If you absolutely can not get your hands on a camera to create a VHS or DVD video you can use your digital camera or heck even your cell phone!! Read all the instructions - it is CRITICAL that you get the link to us in your application - WE WILL NOT LOOK YOUR VIDEO UP!!

How to put your application video on YOU TUBE:

You Tube accepts .AVI, .MOV, or .MPG files (in other words, most cell phone movies, camcorders, and digital recorders)

First record your 30 sec – 3 min video on your cell phone, camcorder, or digital camera. (We aren’t judging quality, so whatever works)

Then upload your video

1. Visit www.youtube.com
2. If you have an account, sign in, If not join. (top right)
3. Click the yellow “Upload” box (top right) and select video file
4. Click the Upload Video button
5. Find your Application Video on your hard drive or camera and double click to upload. **Uploading may take 1-5 minutes per MG with high speed Internet.
6. After the file is uploaded, click the enable and sharing link (top right hand side of box)
7. Copy URL (on the right) and paste in a document you can print and mail with your application.

Your document should contain the following and be printed and in your application envelope:

YOUR NAMES
THE YOUTUBE.COM DIRECT URL such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nie9lKPifg

**the link MUST BE CORRECT - we will not search for your video.
