OHA is stepping up the B.S. but over one billion viewers look at Youtube everyday. More people are online looking at Youtube than they are watching television so even though Youtube is FREE... Youtube is VERY powerful so I hope that at least ONE good-seed Hawaiian who reads this will use this to their advantage.No mattah what some pilau people say... the Internet levels the playing field and is AN equalizer especially when it comes to the bullsh*t that some people say about Hawaiians and/or try to do to Hawaiians. The Internet is VERY VERY powerful. More powerful than the local television and more powerful than the local B.S. media. So powerful that it is not taught in schools because to enslave the mind is to enslave the body and/or spirit but I digress. While some pilau people want to try to discourage others from speaking... I ENCOURAGE good-seed Hawaiians to SPEAK THEIR TRUTH irrelevant if others agree and/or disagree. SPEAK YOUR TRUTH!I hope that some good-seed Hawaiians will USE this. I do it for my work. However unless they are Hawaiian too... I do NOT share this with others in my profession AT ALL because it is a shark tank and VERY competitive. In fact some people want to scratch my eyes out LOL Ironically it is only so easy. I will share this with good-seed Hawaiians (only) for FREE because I like to pay/play it forward to some GOOD-SEED Hawaiians:A few hints from my trials and my MANY errors:1. If can... try use one tripod. I put my tripod on a table because I videotape myself. Also... speak while looking right at your camera. It took me about four videos to get used to looking at the camera as though I am talking to my husband.2. If you screw up the words you can always edit it with the free version of Videopad Video Editor which I do because I no speak right all the time.3. Be yourself.4. What video camera should you use? Content is queen so it doesn't matter what video camera you use. Most digital cameras these days have a video option. I use my Casio Exilim EX-Z80 even though I could use my Canon GL-1. Keep it simple. No need be fancy! Just make sure there is adequate lighting. For me that is challenging because I film myself in one of my offices so the lighting isn't great but it will do.5. For other analytical people like me... no analyze too much because it leads to Analysis Paralysis where you going end up doing nothin!6. No be shame! A writer named Elbert Hubbard states it well: "To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing." If you Hawaiian you going be criticized no mattah what! So you may as well videotape yourself sharing your mana'o because you going be criticized ANYWAY LOL That is the way that I see it when I videotape myself for my work. So what if some people call me a White Washed Hawaiian LOL DO I LOOK LIKE I CARE? LOL Seriously. What matters is what my kupuna think of me. For example after he found out that we flew home to be in the parade for the queen and for the Hawaiian Kingdom on August 21, 2009, Uncle Patrick Kawaiola'a aka "Fat Pat" of Keaukaha called my twin sister and I "mahoe" because we are twins and because we are Hapa Hawaiian and side with our Hawaiian side. THOSE opinions matter to me and coming from Uncle Pat is a very high compliment to me *LOL*To edit your videos then upload to Youtube:Use Videopad Video Editor's free edition to edit your videos then upload to Windows Movie Maker then transfer your videos to Youtube for free. I state this because through many trials and MANY errors Windows Movie Maker can have glitches, missing some codecs files, etc. so won't "save" files. It helps uploading an edited video from Videopad Video Editor INTO Windows Movie Maker. That is THE key to using Windows Movie Maker for the captions, titles, credits, etc.Or just use Videopad Video Editor. This is if you do not want the fancier titles and/or video transitions that Windows Movie Maker offers.Or another option if you have a Mac is the IMovie which is already built into your Mac: http://www.apple.com/ilife/imovie/They are either free or already built into:Videopad Video Editor free version is on the bottom hyperlink:http://www.nchsoftware.com/videopad/index.htmlTo download this software: I had to download it to my laptop in addition to my desktops in order to check it and it worked for my laptop too.The link on the bottom works as well as the first red button.They both take you to: http://www.nchsoftware.com/videopad/vpsetup.exeAn executable file will pop up. (If you worry about executable files scan it with your software to see if it has a virus. I use Firefox as my web browser so it scans it for me when I download any .exe file.)When time to install it though... a window will pop up asking if you want to add other parts to it. Do *NOT* click onto the extras like the sound editor etc. I forgot exactly what they asked if I wanted to install such and such... I think the first option had a square box then "WavePad Sound Editor."Do NOT select those extras AT ALL. Leave those small squares UNCHECKED. Just click "Next" or something like that and it will work fine.To use this software it is VERY simple and EASY: 1. "Add media" You can add pictures/images. You can add your video(s.) You can add more than one video. For example you can use a video of you talking and one of footage of surfing. 2. Wait for it to upload to Videopad. 3. Use the left screen to edit using the little red flag to start where you want it to start and the little blue flag to end where you want it to end. For each clip you click onto the green arrow to put it in the finished product. 4. Repeat this for other areas of your initial video til you have what you want. 5. Click on "Create Movie." 6. Then save it.From here if you want to edit it and add title and credit pages and/or transitions by using Windows Movie Maker or you can just use it and upload it to your FREE Youtube account.Windows Movie Maker: Already built in WindowsYoutube: FREE at www.Youtube.comCombatting the B.S. and KEEPING IT REAL = Priceless

P.S. I am working on a video tutorial of this and yes I WILL nag some people LOL

    Mahalo Plenty, Ululani. Got it. The reason why it wasn't working for me is because i was chose to add those other parts to it. Please stay in touch.

    Howzit Kaleo.

    I had to download it to my laptop too in order to check it and it worked.

    The link on the bottom works as well as the first red button.

    They both take you to: http://www.nchsoftware.com/videopad/vpsetup.exe

    which as you already know is an executable file.

    When time to install it though... a window will pop up asking if you want to add other parts to it. Do *NOT* click onto the extras like the sound editor etc.

    That may be why but there is a FREE edition. Just don't add the extras to it and it works fine.

    Aloha, Ululani. Always good to hear from you. I have been trying to "download" this free version of Videopad Video Editor from the first time you started telling everyone about it on Maoliworld. Everytime it downloads it tells me that this promotion is over and is no longer available for "free?" Could you double check on that for me, because if there is a way tht i can implement this editing program with the other programs i am currently using for my Hawai'i Tv Blog "online show," that would be very, very helpful. Mahalo nui to you and your Ohana...
