Video Tips

Make ur own video

It's easy to show how you get ur good on with a video! All you need to do is create an account at GETURGOODON.org, put together a video about what you are doing, and upload it!

Upload videos of your service project for Global Youth Service Day, a recent volunteer activity you participated in, information for people to get involved with your favorite organization, or your idea on how to fix a global issue like clean water or poverty. The possibilities for Get UR Good On videos are endless

Not a movie pro? Think again. There are a lot of easy ways to make a movie out of your photos. You can even take videos with your cellphone and send them to a special email address. Check out the bottom of your Settings / Profile Edit page, but watch out -- you'll be charged whatever your cell phone provider charges for sending video messages (but you won't be charged by GETURGOODON).

Here are some handy tools you can use to make and edit videos

• If you have Windows, Movie Maker should already be on your computer. If not, you can download it from Microsoft for Vista or XP.
• For Mac users, you can use iMovie.
• There's also a handful of free tools like virtualdub and the bootable CD with LiVES.
• You can even convert powerpoint slideshows to video.

Fancy effects and edits are great and all, but it's what's in the video that really matters.
