Creating a Video FAQ
Q: Create a Video that will get a response
A: iPOWOW! videos are different, you are asking for feedback as they are watching, so ASK for feedback.
Q: Create a Video that looks good
A: Make sure you have the correct lighting, sound and framing. Great short video showing how at BBC
Q: What standard should the video be recorded at?
A: Our video format is focused on the “talking head” format. We encode to 320 x 240, 15 fps, mono in “flv” and “H.264” formats.
Q: Multi Votes?
A: Most systems only allow one vote per person. We capture all the votes and then mark the first vote and any votes after that as secondary votes. This information allows extra analysis of users changing their opinion.
Q: Embedding on my Site?
A: We use the “iFrame” method to embed the video. Some editors won’t allow the use of the “iFrame” method, so we offer two other ways which allow the pop up of a window from our servers. If your editor doesn’t support ‘iFrame”, it may be possible to get it to support this. TinyMCE just needs the “iFrame” tag added to it’s “allowed list” to allow the insertion of “iFrames”.
