The links and resources below are to assist you in creating and publishing videos on your own or in the Multimedia Lab.
1. Editing Your Video - The lab in Maher Hall comes with Final Cut Pro X, Final Cut Studio and Final Cut Express. This PDF file will guide you through the editing process of Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express.

2. Optimize Your Video - After you finish creating your video, you will need to optimize it. This is a process that takes your large video file down to a size that can be consumed on the internet by students, staff and faculty.
Our Mac/PC video optimization guide will give you different options and settings on how you can create your file.
3. Publish Your Video - The University of San Diego has several ways to post your video online. See the USD Publishing Guide that explains the different options.
Depending on your content, if you have a YouTube account, you can optimize and publish your content as "unlisted" which means your video will only be accessible to those you give the link to. Your video will not be public at YouTube.com nor will it show as a public video in your user account.
Contact X5943 if you have any questions about any of these resources that relate to your project. Graphics design and video services that fall under Non Academic, projects are charged at up to $40/hr with a one hour minimum.
