Video Tube Help

Manual instructions at bottom of the page

Northern Michigan Update's Video Tube is designed to display videos using YouTube's embedding feature. Video submission is even easier now. You can search YouTube, preview the video and submit the video without leaving this site. When you select Submit A Video from the Main Menu under Video Tube, here is what the submission screen looks like.
To begin type the keywords to search on in the search box then press the Search button. The search results will appear as video thumbnails. Hovering over the thumbnails will display their titles.
When you click on one of the thumbnails a preview of the video will appear in the Video Viewer and the Video Code and Title will appear in the submission form.
Since the title and artist are not separate in YouTube, you will need to manually change this in the entry fields.
Now click the submit button and you are done.

Important Instruction For Manual Submission

The sites search feature is limited to only a certain amount of videos.
You may also go to You Tube directly and manually sumbit the required information into the appropriate fields.

In the code area only use the code that comes after the V= on You Tube.

Here's an example
When viewing a You Tube Video in the explorer bar the url appears as

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-yHWUaoCC8.

Only use this part in the code area D-yHWUaoCC8.

That's about it but don't forget to fill in the rest of the info also.

You may submit(upload) your videos directly to You Tube and then submit them in this way for use on Northern Michigan Update.Enjoy!
