Bummed
During yesterday’s Big Bad Wolf Book Sale 2019 (BBWBS 2019) excursion, an effort was made to produce a Vlog (Video Blog or Video log) with the intention of resurrecting my Tedi31 YouTube channel which has been dormant for several months now. Truly, social media management is a full-time job in itself as documentation, editing, and uploading all take a considerable amount of time. Time that–if we are truly honest with ourselves–would be best spent on other endeavours.
So, unlike past practices wherein I would only work with large blocks of videos that most likely will never see the light of day, I decided to take a different approach and splice together shorter videos and augment them with photos instead.
Uploading to YouTube
However, much to my dismay, a YouTube program that flags possible copyright claims–which to my understanding basically means that you are “free to post” your video but are unable to “monetize it” [not like I have any immediate plans to do so]–considered my Vlog to fall under this category. Needless to say, I was bummed. The “copyright” issue most likely happened when I was looking through the graphic novels section of the Big Bad Wolf sale. A speaker was blaring music directly behind me–half of which I could hardly make out.
Now, YouTube suggests that I edit and re-upload the video to work around this inconvenience but I’ve already spent enough time on this thing as it is.
