How do I make a video?
There are some great introductory videos about filming and editing videos on this channel, including this one to get your started.
You can download and use Camtasia, which is a very user-friendly video editing software – it is freely available to UBC students; the instructions for downloading can be found here.
VEED is a popular online video editing software/website – it’s free to try for videos up to 10 minutes in length (we’re only asking for less than 3 minutes!).
Here is a video that shows you how to upload to YouTube.
And if video editing just isn’t your thing, use this as a chance to connect with friends or others in your community who might want to help out!
What are you looking for?
Judges from across campus will select five finalists based on:
- student-friendliness (a.k.a. easy to prepare & budget-friendly)
- emphasis on plant-based ingredients
- connection to at least 2 of the Thrive 5+
- originality (and potential taste) of the recipe.
- quality and clarity of video/recipe instructions
Recipe videos will be accepted until February 24th, 2021.
Submit your recipe video. We want to see it!
