Best way to publish training videos?

Question

John Nystrom recently led an Advanced Paratext Workshop based on his “Effective Consulting
using Paratext 8 Tools” paper. We recorded the sessions in segments, and I would like to make the segments available in an organized fashion.

I’m asking for the best way to publish these training videos. I would like these features (if possible):

• The ability to upload all of the videos and display them in the order that they were taught.
• The ability to create “playlists” so we can have a group of videos based on a particular topic (e.g., Biblical Terms).
• The ability to link to individual videos and playlists from an external site.
• The ability to add descriptions and possibly have those descriptions displayed on an external site (I’d prefer to not have to duplicate descriptions, etc if it’s avoidable).
  I know that Vimeo and YouTube are options. To me, it feels like Vimeo is more “professional” (i.e., less random junk), but that’s just an impression.

Any suggestions/thoughts?

Thank you,

Answer 1

You are indeed describing Vimeo and YouTube. For the last point, you would embed the video onto the other site like we do at the bottom of this page here:
