To upload your own videos to MiniZebuTube, follow these simple instructions:

Capture your video into a file that is one of the acceptable formats (above).
Click here: MiniZebuTube upload website
Follow the instructions to upload your file to our Brightcove site. (It's free to open your Brightcove account and free to upload.)
Go to the player (miniature-zebu-show.thesokolows.com) in a few days to see your video live under the MiniZebuTube tab.

Here are more detailed instructions:

Use your camera's supplied software or video editing programs such as Microsoft's Windows Movie Maker or Apple's Quicktime Pro or PinnacleSystems Studio.
Edit the video if you wish. Keep the file no larger than 100 megabytes. To limit file size you may need to delete some portions of your video or reduce the image resolution (number of pixels across and down). A size of 640x480 is suggested, but if necessary to reduce file size, you can reduce that size proportionately (keeping the aspect ratio unchanged to avoid distortion). For example, 320x240.
Save the video file on your computer in one of the supported formats (above).
Using your Internet browser, go to our MiniZebuTube upload website here
You will need to create a Brightcove account if you don't already have one. It's free of charge. Follow the on-screen instructions.
When you get to the screen which asks you to submit your file, click on the Browse button, then locate the file on your computer. In the description, please give your own name and email address in a "submitted by" line. Be sure to give some good keywords to help search engines index your file for others to find it.
Submit your file. It will be uploaded. The progress bar will show the percentage uploaded as it goes. After it is completely uploaded, you will receive a completion message.
The producer of this site will review the submitted file to ensure it is appropriate content and then, if accepted, will publish it uder the MiniZebuTube tab of the Urban Cowgirl Channel player. (Accepted files are converted by Brightcove into a common file format that plays on our web player on almost anyone's computer.)
By submitting your video, you impliedly are assuring us that you are not violating anyone else's copyrights to the video content, or to the images or music it contains. The music we use on the Urban Cowgirl Channel's productions is music for which we have been licensed. If you want to add music to your video, you may obtain royalty-free music from sources such as the video software you buy or http://www.royaltyfreemusic.com/
When your submission is accepted, it will appear in the list of videos under the MiniZebuTab. Eventually these videos will be discovered by the video web search engines and other people will be able to find them easily. Tell your friends to go to: miniature-zebu-show.thesokolows.com . When you play your own video, you can click a control at the end of the video to send a link to someone by email. It's easy. Then they can tell their friends, and so on.
