PLUMI

Plumi: PublishVideo

Publish Video

To publish a video you must have registered, and must be signed-in.

Note: it may take a while to upload your video, depending on your internet connection, so please be patient. Also your video will not be published immediately - the default set up of a Plumi site is for new contributions to be moderated by site reviewers. After the content is reviewed you will be notified via email. You will not be able to edit the video unless you retract it.

Publish Video Steps

Click the Publish button in the sidebar.

Enter the copyright information for your video. If the Copyright Holder (creator) is not you, enter their name instead of "(site default)".

Now choose your Copyright License. Plumi allows for multiple licensing forms including open-content licenses to give you more choice about who can distribute, copy or re-edit your work.

If you wish to use the site default license, you don't need to change anything. If you want to choose your own license, just tick the box next to All Rights Reserved (standard copyright), GNU Free Documentation License (the license Wikipedia uses, more info here) or Creative Commons License (more info here).

You can choose what kind of Creative Commons license you want to attach to your video by clicking (Choose) next to Creative Commons License. This will open another window where you can choose which license you want based on some simple questions. The license you have chosen will display here.

You can also tick the box next to Other and click the (Choose) button to attach any other kind of license you wish to your video.
