Greetings steemians!
Usually i dont post these kind of things, but ever since ive been posting videos on dtube i have seen lots of people trying to figure it out how to login to upload videos on Dtube, sooo i decided to make this small tutorial about how to login and upload videos and also i am going in a little bit into video re-encoding to compress the size of raw footage or just edited video.
Incase you dont know about dtube heres the link to dtube : https://dtube.video/
Heres the tutorial:
Login
If you are trying to log in and either you dont what password to put in or your password is not working here i will show you with screenshots how to do it.
Login screen
In the login screen it asks you for your SteemIt username and private posting key. The private posting key you can find it in your wallet under permisions as shown in these screens.
1.- Go to your wallet
2.- Go to permisions.
3.- On Posting click show private key, copy and paste it in your login.
And thats how you login into dtube, if you feel confident and know what to do after login in ignore the rest of the post.
Uploading videos.
1.-Hit the upload buton at the top right corner.
2.-Drag your video into the red box or click the red box to prompt a search window and find your video and wait for the green check.
3.- Upload a snap as a thumnail, you can take a snap from the video and use it.
4.- Fill details and tags.
5.- Click Submit
And thats it your video is uploaded and ready to be seen.
The video format that dtube is acepting to this day is .mp4.
REENCODE YOUR VIDEO.
If you are a producer and you are uploading your video raw quality, (full 10bit) ,because you are used to youtube's automatic re-encoding a friendly remainder here theres no built in re-encoding in dtube yet, you will need to re-encode the video first. More than often people do not have a 20 mbits speed to watch that smoothly.
Heres how:
Download and install Handbrake : https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php
1.- Open the video you want to reencode.
2.- Set up your destination folder (where the reencoded video will be writen)
3.- Set quality from 25 to 20 , 20 is dvd quality. play with these settings to see what quality you like most for your videos.
4.- Click and drag the x264 Preset to the right the slower you set this the smaller your video file will be. Set this to slow as you can handle.
5.- Click the preview buton, then check the use system default player, click play. Make sure your video looks like how you want it.
6.- Once you are done with the preview and happy with your setting click start.
And thats it, that how you can reduce your raw hd files from your phone camera or your camera so you can upload them compressed into DTUBE.
If you are a producer you need to learn this trick dont dump raw footage from your phone or camera, it may weight gigabytes for no reason.
So this is the end of the post, thank you for reading, hope this helps people get into dtube faster and easier!
