Have you finally decided to start making videos?  There are all kinds of ways for you to make your own videos and post them online.  Think about what you want to do first.  Do you want to be on camera?  Do you have a good video camera?  Do you have a digital camera?  After getting the answer to those questions you can move forward with getting your videos created. 

The super quick way of getting videos created is to use software.  You can create slideshows and turn them into videos.  You can take pictures and include them in your slideshow to make your videos have some meaning.  You can use your own pictures or you can use pictures that are already available.  One company to check out is animoto.  They make the process for creating a video really easy.  They provide a step by step process that lets you take control.  Pick the pictures and videos that you want to use.  Add in some music to give your video added entertainment value and hit the finalize button to create your video.  

Moving the images and text in the order that you want is really easy with animoto when you get use to it.  The other good thing about using this software is that they have a free version that you can use.  If you don't want to appear in your videos this is a good solution.

Still don't want to be on camera yet?  Think about using screen capture software to create your videos.  This can work really good if you are recording a video presentation.  Create your presentation slides and then present the information as you scroll through the slides.  This is great for creating videos that teach something because you can actually show the video views what to do step by step. And again you don't have to appear visually in the video.  You will have to talk but you won't have to show your face.

If you are ready to star in your own video then you can just use your video camera.  The flip video camera is really easy to use but they have been discontinued so in the years to come it might be hard to find one.  The flip camera makes it really easy to record video just point and click the red button and you record video. When you are ready to stop just click the red button again.  Its a really good video camera to use.  You might find them on ebay or at amazon.  Most smartphones are coming equipped with video recording ability so you will be able to find a way to record your stuff.  

Creating your first video is not hard at all.  You just have to get started.  Once you create one or two videos and get the process down it will seem like old news.  Using animoto can make it really easy.  The free videos from animoto are limited to about 30 seconds but you can pay to create longer videos.
