we should make some Org propaganda

to get ready for the new site. kinda like the vca stuff shin did but less amv-y and more demonstrating the new site. or we could just throw up audio files and/or text talking about it to raise awareness/excitement, yes? no? shutup? okay.

No, you should not.

The last thing I need is someone trumpeting the virtues of something that they have never used, raising expectations beyond what is realistic and culminating in a letdown that would have not have otherwise existed.

Keeping a link to the product-under-development in the public consciousness is good enough.

I hear the new Org has pony rides on weekends and serves up some pretty tasty milkshakes.

i mean, wait til we're able to use the full version i guess, i really just meant advertisement. I thought about it before any of this went public but didn't have a good reason to, assuming this upgrade addresses one of the major concerns in some way i can see being extremely happy with it. I didn't mean to say "let's hype this shit up" it was more of a "we should make this update actually worth the time and effort by reaching out to new members with our shiny new interfaces"

The new Org is like YouTube but better. FreddieW has already announced that all of his future videos will be New Org exclusives.

Wait, it was my understanding that the new org edited the videos for us! Wasnt that sponsored by the twitch developers?

Do you have any idea how out of date you guys make me feel, when you go on about Twitch? When I was cool, Trapcode Shine was the 'Cool Button'. Who replaced the cool button without even sending me an email about it!???

I think that by just saying that you're an org member outside here is enough :ying:

The upload function now has a built in twitch filter, which conviently adds twitch to your video in the appropriate places. (i.e. everywhere)

How about if we make promo material that only follows safe themes? (that aren't necessarily related to the new site)
Like you show a funny clip; let the joke settle; then say: "Looking for Comedy? ...Go to the .Org" (Or do it for Action, Drama etc...)
Then submit them to a pool, where the best ones get used as official promo material at conventions and stuff.

I mean, right now the org has... nothing. Which is strange considering we are a community of video editors.
So, I don't think it would hurt to have something already prepared for when the time comes.
As long as people don't start campaigning on other sites until we are ready, it may actually make for a better unveiling.

Plus, it'd be fun.

Well, not nothing. There were a handful of Org promo videos made for the first round of Project OrgEditor last year. (such as http://youtu.be/dok9fRNglPI and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEzWZQldtfg) and I'm pretty sure Shin's VCA promo videos count, too. (http://youtu.be/aMlObeZumJQ and http://youtu.be/nZTYeoTmWHY ).

Anyway, I can't see the harm in starting a few videos to promote the Org for when the redesign is finished, but if we're actively advertising for it too soon, we're just gonna end up with a lot of people having to learn how to use the site twice. :uhoh:

The main complaint I get when I refer someone to the Org is that they don't know how to use the site. Yue has already made a couple "How-To" videos, perhaps our efforts would be better spent helping current confused members and we'll cross the site redesign bridge when we come to it.

i was thinking release on or after the new site is released, not before. i imagine the effort would be lost by people going to check it out and saying "it's still the same".

i've only seen those videos because i follow the org stuff. Besides linking to people that ask us, how are those supposed to really help as it is? They should be more accessible or publicized somehow if we're actually gonna utilize them. But if the site's actively being redesigned (depending on how long it'll take) wouldn't teaching people how to use the site now still have the problem of lots of people having to learn to use the site twice? We might as well lay low until things change and then start promoting like crazy!
