How to turn off the annoying suggested videos at the end of YouTube videos

Normally, when you embed a video from YouTube on your blog or website, a number of annoying suggested videos appear at the end of the video. Often, they are of something rather embarassing that you don't want to be associated with.

So, I am going to show you how to turn them off in preparing to get the embed code.

1. Find the video that you want to embed.

2. Click the Share button.

3. Click on the Embed button. This will reveal additional options.

4. By default, the option 'Show suggested videos when the video finishes' is checked. Uncheck it.

5. Copy the embed code.
6. Paste it into the HTML field of your blog/website.

Note: You can also change the default size of your player there. Here is a link to some information on customizing your embedded YouTube video even further. 

Breakdown of points

-->

Project/Assignment point breakdown- if this stuff isn’t on your blog, you will receive 0 points for the it- check your blogs to make sure it is all there. Better to turn it in late than to receive a 0.

Extra Credit opportunities:

You can make an additional video mashup. 

You can made an additional song. 

You can made an additional 3D model. 

You can attend an opening and write up a little review of it. Include photos.

Applying to an exhibition digitally (you must provide proof that you have done so - screen grab of confirmation letter, copy me on the application email, etc.). Please also provide links to the exhibition call on your blog as well.

• You must include your video mashup on an appropriate page. You must make sure that no previews for other videos shows up. I will show you how to do this.

• A page for your Artist Statement
• A page for your Bio (Don't say 'I was born in ....)
• A page for your Mashup and song
• Links to your blog, Flickr account, DeviantArt page, professional FaceBook page (nor your personal one), anything else that may impress a potential employer or gallery, etc.

Monday November 9th and next several classes

We will spend the next 4 classes on the Video Mashup. It is due, completed, hosted on YouTube or Vimeo, and embedded on your blog before class on Monday, November 19th. No extensions will be given.

Today, I will introduce you to some more features of iMovie. I will also discuss how to rip a DVD for use in your mashup. We will use Handbrake to do so. It is available for Windows and Macs and it's free. If you are going to use it on a Mac, you also need to install VLC Media Player which is a really great free video player that has some features that Handbrake needs to work properly. If you are going to use Handbrake on a PC, then you will also likely need to also install DVD43. It is a utility that decrypts encrypted DVDs. It is also free.

To download movies from YouTube or Vimeo you can use WantYouTube.com or KeepVid.com. Both require that you have Java on your computer and allow a special java applet to run. As far as I am aware, both are safe to use. I use both on my laptop. I prefer WantYouTube.com because it doesn't have misleading advertisements trying to get you to download things you don't want like KeepVid does.
 
If you need to download HULU video, you can try following this tutorial. For PCs only. Reading the HULU section of this article may help you understand the process better.

Video Mashup

Video Mashup

A video mashup is any video which as has been altered, edited, or re-ordered in order to alter its original use.

This mashup of video footage from Sesame Street along with the audio of Godfather is a great example. Martin Scorcese's Sesame Street

For this project you will create a video/audio mashup of not less than 4 minutes. You can get video footage from wherever you would like. There is a great deal of public domain footage readily available. For Tuesday, I would like you selected public domain video or bring in video clips that you made to begin editing and mixing using iMovie. Archive.org is a great source for public domain video. Download the Quicktime version of the files if available, otherwise the MPEG version of the file.
Find public domain audio to use. Archive.org also has a ton of audio clips. You can also take the audio from public domain videos. Or make your own audio from your own recordings or within Garageband.

For Monday, you should have some of the video and audio clips that you will use.  Monday & Wednesday will be spent working on the project in class. This a a creative/art piece. It can be really nutty.

I suggest that you include a title and credits at the end which reference the video and sound that you used.

OLD STUFF IGNORE:
Last class I showed you how to export your layer based frame animation as a Quicktime Movie (.mov extension) and upload it to your blog. I then showed you how to drag that file into GarageBand to "score" it, which is a fancy way of saying we added sound to it. We then selected Share, Export to Disk, and selected Full Quality Video. This will preserve the quality of the video as when it came into GarageBand. It is important to note that GarageBand doesn't allow you to edit your video in any way. So, the video must be in its final form before being brought into GarageBand.

Monday we will be wrapping up the 3D Mashups

Hello all,

On Monday, October 29th, we will be wrapping up the 3D mashup project. So, please get as far as you can with it before class so that I can help you with any problems that may arise.

I am very excited about the mashups that you are coming up with. I am very impressed by the models that you are sculpting in Sculptris.

As I noted in class, I suggest you either combine your two (or more) models using TinkerCAD or Sculptris. Don't create a mashup in TinkerCAD then try to open it up in Sculptris as that doesn't seem to be working.

If a group of people are done with their models, I will walk through how the 3D printing process works and get a model under way.

On Wednesday, we will begin a video mashup project that will take a few weeks to complete.

Recap of Monday - what's going on Wednesday

Monday we learned about 3D modeling applications that mimic sculpting. Specifically Sculptris and 123D Sculpt (mashup assignment has links to these)

Wednesday is a work day. You have a completed mashup due on Monday.  Given this, I don't expect anyone to leave early on Wednesday.

Expect a quiz over the RadioLab program and related materials.
