This is a spec for a general purpose tool for creating short videos similar to the create-a-video functionality that is now in https://air.mozilla.org/mozillian/. Step 1 - Metadata: Ask for a Title, Description, Keywords (tags), Privacy Level and a preferred channel. Channel question should be phrased as "Do you want your video in a special channel?" ...with some sort of Step 2 - Ask the user to choose a thumbnail from the gallery. ...or upload an image (prompt for a 1280 x 720 png,jpeg, or gif). Step 3 - Use the same record/play/upload method as the mozillian tool. Step 4 - After upload, the video should be transcoded and the event status set to Initiated, with the P/R approval flag set if the video is public. Can we make the Requests navbar item a drop-down with two items: "Request an Event", and "Make a Video Now" ? Eventually I'd like to split out upcoming events, prerecorded events and popcorn events as separate paths through the wizard with the choice made in this same dropdown... but that's probably a separate bug.

Richard, Can you pick or upload a good default placeholder picture that gets associated with the event "by force" until they pick one?

Thanks. I was hoping for something black and stylish with the Air Mozilla branding on it :) Remember, this placeholder is just for the rare few cases where ffmpeg totally fails on us. Also, independent of an event coming from the new uploader or the regular route, what we ought to do, when the ffmpeg cron job finishes, is to email the original creator/requester and say "The event you created called 'Foo Bar' now has screen captures available. Click here to pick one"
I wanted something I could use in other places to promote the concept. Adding another version I like better (with an ending Z). You won't like it any better.
