This week has been a bit of focus on doing audio/visual work. There has been a need to product Youtube shorts. So sourcing them and getting them orientated to be proper for the platform takes some time. An issue that has a workaround but takes time must be used.
Currently one can upload a video to Youtube on desktop, and tag it with #shorts to get it into the shorts feed. The issue I’ve run into is that there are occasions where YouTube doesn’t catch the tag to put it into the feed for shorts. The way around this has been to try to get the video down to 25mb or less and then send it through FB messenger (that’s the file size limit). I send it this way because iPhone is horrible with placing typical video files and photo files into the photo album when they’ve been straight file downloaded (such as google drive or even downloading them from YouTube studio hack I know).
From there the short is saved from messenger so that it is accessible by the YouTube app on my phone. I can then select to upload a short instead of a regular video. This has a better guarantee that the video will go into the shorts feed. This little issue is pushing me to move away from iPhone for this sort of ordeal and to get into using Android again.
On another note I have created analytics reports for the social media outlets the organization primarily uses. It was four pages of information to put together and many spreadsheets to sort out, but it was something presentable. The organization was happy with the work as it can be used to put together new rates cards and sell underwriting for the podcast and sponsorships of the organization.
