| 1 | | == Video Uploading == |
| 2 | | Plumi uses a three step form for publishing. The process is relatively simple and requires users to fill out basic information about their video (producer, director, date created etc.), categorise the video via a traditional taxonomy and also by tagging, attach a license (via the Creative Commons API), upload a photo (which is used as a thumbnail) and of course their video. Only some fields are currently compulsory. |

| 4 | | There is a series of steps videos go through to get published which you can read more about at WorkFlow. |

| 30 | | If you are a developer you can modify these fields to suit your needs by subclassing to make a new content type with specific new elements (the schema) in http://dev.plone.org/collective/browser/plumi.content/trunk/plumi/content/content/plumivideo.py |
| 31 | | |

| 36 | | Currently Plumi will accept most common (and some obscure) file formats. Transcode Star will transcode most file formats to mp4 and ogv and embed them in the browser for playback. |
