Only 4 steps to your Accommodation Video

Our quick and easy 4-step recommendation to produce your own professional video and get your accommodation video as quick and easy included in RankSpot Accommodation VideoSearch.

May be your video gets also featured on the first page of RankSpot.Com VideoSearch.

Remember, a video may include not only filmed material but also pictures. Hi-res images offer an excellent opportunity to zoom and move around on a picture. At least the image resolution must be slightly or more higher then video resolution.

As an example a 6.4 mega-pixel digital camera offers a resolution of 3000x2000 pixels, while a VHS video has a resolution of only 350x380. Even I-pot or PSP compatible videos show a nice picture with a resolution of about 320x240 and last but not least a common PC monitor is still less with a resolution of only 1024x768. (watch this , the first part is made of hi-res images and it really moves!)

Hint: Take pictures of guest sleeping rooms in the evening without flashlight, use room lights only, this gives a nice warm result.

Background music, using copy right protected material in your video is asking for trouble unless you own the rights of the music. We recommend voice recording, get ready for your message to promote your accommodation and find some one with is nice voice. Did you ever heard Margaret Thatcher speaking, this is a great understandable voice.

The cheapest digital cameras devices offer voice recording, however remember while recording your message speak slow and smile.

The making of a video: Microsoft Windows XP includes a handy peace of software called Moviemaker, easy to use with nice title effects en the possibility to import all kind of media files.

Common questions related to bandwidth and file-size raise if you want to host a video-movie together with your web-site.

As an example a compressed MPEG4 video-movie of one minute having a resolution of 320x240 pixels and 25 frames per second is about 3 Megabyte, a compressed MPEG4 video-movie of one minute having a resolution of 720x576 pixels and 25 frames per second is about 30 Megabyte, actually the file size is also affected by data rate, sampling rate and chosen codec.

Because most of the time bandwidth and storage space provided by a hosting provider is limited or implements additional costs, we recommend to host your video on video services like YouTube, Google Video, Yahoo Video or MSN Video, but there are many others offering video hosting and sharing service. Using such a service you do not have to worry about minimizing your video file size for hosting while reducing the quality.

To add a video presentation to your site we recommend adding a separate video-page to your website because the more pages you provide the higher is the chance future guests will find a single web page of your accommodation. (A nice example of an , recognize the spoken message also shows to the right of the video).

Video services as described in chapter Video Hosting provide html coding which is easy to implement into a website, just copy and paste the provided html code to embed the video onto your video webpage.

Also give visitors the opportunity to download your accommodation video by providing a link to the page where the video service hosts your video-movie.

This is an additional chance to let guests find your accommodation because search engines are indexing video services too. (See the hosted , belonging the web-page above with a link back to the accommodation website). This video als shows a transcript (needs some syncronization). By adding a transcript you may include an additional language to your video.
