How to add video?
Camcorder
Once you have filmed an ad on your camcorder, you will need to save the video into a file on your computer. To do this you will need to plug the device into your computer using a USB or Firewire cable and import the video with any video editing program. Many newer digital camcorders come with editing software. If you don't have one, both Windows MovieMaker and Apple's iMovie are easy to use.
Digital Camera
Many digital cameras allow you to take a few minutes of video. This is more than enough for a video classified ad. When you'e finished filming, just connect the camera to your computer with the cable it came with. The camera should also have come with a software cd that handles the transfer. Windows MovieMaker and Apple's iMovie are easy to use.
WebCam
Making a video listing from your webcam is easy because the program you use to capture webcam video should automatically create a file you can upload. With a webcam it's easy to create a listing in one take. Just film your video and save it where you can easily find it.
Cellphone
If you have a video-enabled cell phone, you probably know how to capture clips and send them to others. If your phone supports e-mail, you can send yourself the video file via email. Or if you have a data cable for your phone, you can use the phone's software to transfer the file to your computer. If you have questions about how to move videos off your phone, you can contact your cellular service provider or phone manufacturer for more information.
