Hello Laurel from New Mexico.

Thank you Laurel, and welcome!

We're using the Zoom chat to share resources, ask Qs, etc. The chat sometimes defaults to messaging just the host or a single person. When you have a question, please be sure to set the chat to 'All Panelist and Attendees.'

Welcome everyone! Please introduce yourself and let us know where you’re joining from. We’ll get started soon!

Please keep your chat open throughout the workshop. I'll be here to share resources, field Qs, and echo some of the announcements.

We'll be recording this workshop. If you prefer not to be recorded, you can privately chat me and we can comment/ask your question for you. After the workshop, you'll receive the link to this workshop. You'll be able to watch this at your own pace!

OVEE pulls content from PBS, YouTube, and Vimeo!

Where do find yourself pulling most of your content from?

PBS

Nice, Nancy!

You can pull content directly from pbs.org/video with a quick copy and paste of the URL. But remember, the PBS links needs to have "/video" in order for OVEE to read it.

Any filmmakers in the house that prefer Vimeo? Please share your experiences!

Not sure how Vimeo works on OVEE

Laurel, here's a step-by-step guide on how to integrate Vimeo to your OVEE account: OVEE Video Content

Thanks

Of course!

For PTV parters, PBS Media Manager is is great option for unlisted and private content. If you're interessted, please contact me!

Can YouTube videos have the ads leak into your OVEE presentation?

I find that OVEE will play passport videos sometimes if the video is still in rights.

What about a partner’s Vimeo video?

So interesting Laurel. We’ll be sure to address all questions and insights during the Q&A, but keep them coming!

The OVEE Help Center is a great resource: https://bit.ly/OVEE-Help-Center.

Say it with me: Treat yo self! Spice your event up with different types of content to keep your audience engaged and ready for more.

Thank you GPB!

Check out these cool OVEE video resources, also found in our Help Center: http://bit.ly/OVEE-Video-ResourceAnd here are pre-recorded intro videos to try out if you haven't already: http://bit.ly/OVEE-Intro-Video.

GPB put together a great welcome video/tutorial for new OVEE users! It's fun, dynamic, and quick to the point. Anybody here looking to accomplish the same thing? Please share your experiences of how your team may be going about it!Who else is putting together a new intro video? We hope this sparks some inspiration.

More links coming your way! Check out the Charlie Parker and Jazz and Hip Hop Circular Influence videos Rachel is referencing.

Charlie Parker video: https://www.pbs.org/video/how-charlie-parker-changed-jazz-forever-gbndvt/

Always a good idea to preproduce your intro videos into ONE piece to avoid the crazy spinning buffering wheel!

Love Sound Field!

Thanks Cliff!! And yes Sound Field is awesooome

Jazz and Hip Hip Circular Influence: https://www.pbs.org/video/jazz-shaped-hip-hop-but-how-did-hip-hop-change-jazz-p1sy61/

We love content with a combination of elements. These clips combine animation, narration, music, interviews, and archival footage, creating dynamic content that adds elements of fun and flare. Adding different elements is a great way to keep your audience engaged.

True!!

Pro-tip: Use your closing content to promote audience engagement outside of the theater! Swag, surveys, and newsletter are great things to promote after your screening.

If several videos are involved in my event, can I make sure the volume levels of different videos stays within a similar range?

Great question Kerry!

We’ll be sure to answer it during our Q&A.

Any cool themes coming up that you're excited about or producing screenings for? May is Asian Pacific Heritage Month and Jewish American Heritage Month, June is PRIDE Month, and September is National Hispanic Heritage Month.

Test, test, test! Never give up!

We can all relate!

There's no limitation to how many tests you can create in OVEE. Sharing these docs that are super useful for troubleshooting:http://bit.ly/OVEE-Production-Breakdownhttp://bit.ly/OVEE-Zoomhttp://bit.ly/Livestream-Delay

And here are some Common Tech Trouble Shooting Responses: http://bit.ly/OVEE-Tech-Responses

I never use chrome anymore to run OVEE. I learned my lesson when I could not p,any the video from the beginning because I watched it before and stopped early.

Play

Great tip Laurel! Firefox is a great alternative.

We always love a new project! PowerPoint is a great tool for creating custom intros. You can bring them from slide decks to cool videos.

Please chat any questions that may come up, and we will save them for for later :)

What is the most amazing PowerPoint presentatin you've seen? Please take the floor! We're all ears.

If you have any cool video content tips and tricks you'd like to share, please feel free! All ideas and experiences welcome.

Thanks!

Of course!

That helps a lot!

How did Lehigh Valley PBS get 1900 viewers is Ovee limits guests to 1000?

Thanks for that tip. I’ll tell people to use chrome.

Amazing! We should all be so lucky to get THAT many guests! LOL

Absolutely!!

Does OVEE count people more than once when they leave and come back to fix a problem?

Great question Laurel!

If I see 78 people in the audience I may have 110 in the metrics

Thanks so much; this was very helpful.

Thank you!

thanks

thanks

Thanks everyone!

Thanks, Rachel & Myah!
