Linking, Clipping and Copyright

Educational re-use provisions for copyright are quite generous. For the exact dimensions of this you can consult the Screenrights information page which is available via this link. https://www.screenrights.org/content-users/australian-services/educational-licence (It’s also included in your in-class handout.) The table below summarises some of the main rules regarding video reuse for education

Linking Embedding Clipping Linking should be The Screenrights handout deals mostly All video content licensed for acceptable for all with recorded material from TV and educational use can be material found also podcasts and vodcasts from clipped. Additionally any online, whether for broadcasters. YouTube video licensed as a educational or For material uploaded (say to creative commons video can ‘commercial use’.

You can also create YouTube channels and you may download links that begin part the way broadcasts that they have uploaded to through a video, which is a these channels. Other YouTube material is sort of ‘soft clipping’ if you not covered by the Screenrights licence will. and you may wish to seek advice if you want to stream or embed this material in If you have your own editing course notes.’ - Screenrights software you should be able to make clips from non- educational video and distribute them, so long as they are via email or behind a password wall on UTS Online, etc. Finding Video Databases

The Find databases page on the Library website has a category for Video. Within that category there are individual lists called catalogues, multidisciplinary, other and ALL.

‘Catalogues’ refers to services that contain videos that you can browse and order via the library. The other three headings are lists of the databases we subscribe to for a fee. The databases in the multidisciplinary list are the ones we demonstrate in class. How to Clip: Academic Video Online

Academic Video Online (aka VAST) is published by Alexander St Press. It contains: “newsreels, award-winning documentaries, field recordings, interviews, lectures, training videos, and exclusive primary footage.”

Academic Video Online has a powerful advanced search feature, offering you more control over your search than the other video databases in this session.

Within the videos are transcripts you can use to navigate to parts of the video.

Some videos also have clips that are prebuilt into the video that you can link to.

Note: If you’d like to make your own clips you will need to register and sign in. To Make a Clip from a Video

Step 1: Use the little scisscors icon on the control panel.

Step 2: Then set some times for the start and finish of your clip. You can enter times manually or drag the green and red flags for this. (You’ll need to give the clip a title too).

Step 3: After creating and saving your clip it will appear under a ‘Clips’ heading on the right of screen. There is a little link icon next to it that allows sharing - <>.

YouTube

YouTube’s content is not all licensed for educational reuse but there are ways to get at all of it for teaching:

 You can link. You can even create a link to a particular start point within a video:

 You can also create an embed code for a video… however you can’t embed a video that starts at a certain time. (Embedding should work ok in UTS Online and in Google Presentations, however you will not need the embed code to do this, instead you’ll need the name or url of the video). Bear in mind that some videos aren’t okay to embed without the uploaders permission. When in doubt, ask our copyright officer Matthew Noble – [email protected] / 95143133

 If you have video editing software like IMovie or Camtasia then you can use that to make a clip and then share it on UTS Online, or via email.

 A final option is to use YouTube to make clips from material licensed for educational reuse. You can do this by filtering your search by ‘creative commons’. This should enable a mode called ‘remix this video’. Remixing allows you to use YouTube’s in house editing suite to clip a video, which you can then repost to YouTube. Steps to do this are seen below:

Step 1: Filter by Creative Commons license:

The videos you can access should now have this ‘remix this video’ button visible (provided you are logged in – you will need a login to clip).

Step 2: Click the ‘remix this video’ button

Step 3: Now make your clip. There are two ways to do this: The first way is to click on the little video icon on the drag bar. Doing this will bring up a blue border around the icon. You can use these blue drag bars to set your start and end points. Alternatively you can use the scissors icon to chop the video into two where ever the red line is set to. You can chop more than once. If you need to you can zoom in on this video icon to give yourself more control.

Within this screen you can create a mashup by searching for other creative commons videos to splice in, or splice in videos you’ve created under your logon. You can even substitute your own sound file on top of your clip by dragging a file over the audio track

Step 4: Once you are finished you can set all your parameters and press publish.

 If you upload videos to YouTube or other platforms like Vimeo you can set your videos to public, unlisted or private. Public is the default option. Unlisted means that you cannot find the video via searching, instead you need the url to view the video. Private means that only people specified by the uploader can view the video. EduTV

EduTV is an online streaming resource containing television documentaries, current affairs/ news programs (occasionally complemented with study guides) and popular TV series from the ABC and SBS. Shows include Q&A, Big Ideas, Redfern Now, Message Stick, Four Corners and more.

Note: You will need to create a logon to make clips.

To make a clip click the create clip playlist icon on the control bar.

Then follow these four steps (see overleaf):

Step 1: Give your clip a name.

Step 2: Set in and out points for the clip with the ‘set start’ and ‘set end’ buttons. Give your clip a title and press save.

Step 3: Upload notes – this allows you to attach text to the clip to provide instruction or background. You can skip this step if you want to. Step 4: Press Finish. This completes the process and enables sharing.

If you don’t want to use the email, Facebook or Twitter share options you can cut and paste the url of the page after saving and use that as a link to share.

TV News.

TV News has no edit function but a lot of the content is in the form of individual news stories and as such aren’t too long. If you would like to make clips of the content you can, using your own editing software. You would then have to distribute the clip via UTS Online or via email.

FINALLY!

 If you find a title out there that you would like to make available in a streaming form, please contact the library.

 The library is currently devising a class to complement this one, which will show you how use screencast software to capture video playing on a computer and also software that you can use to edit the video into clips.

The Learning2014 page on the library website has links to more online educational resources in your subject area as well as case studies, staff contacts and cases studies of how the library is integrating Learning2014 practices into its training. https://www.lib.uts.edu.au/learning -> Learning2014
