Video Tributes & YouTube Web Seminar

Recording Now Available:

As a follow up to two of my presentations at the New York State Funeral Directors Convention, I am hosting a web seminar today.  This online seminar will be a step by step demonstration that will show you how to create a Video using a commercial software program. This process will be applicable to creating Video Tributes for your families or also to create an infomercial for your firm.

Then once the video is created, we will go through the steps to upload the video to YouTube. I will also field any questions that you have during the presentation

The video editing software that I use is called Muvee and you can download a trial version here:

Muvee AutoProducer6 - Download

Muvee AutoProducer6 - Quick Start Guide

There are other video editing options available such as FuneralOne and Timeless Tributes. If you are going to be outsourcing the creation of the video you should check out Pictures In Motion or Memories By Design.

I just like Muvee as it is easy to use it works great for Video Tributes as well as Creating Infomercials.

Here is the recording of the web seminar…
