Wavu:Videos

Videos should be as small as possible, as this makes them load faster and reduces server load. However, this should not come at the cost of clarity. If a video doesn't effectively communicate what it means to, then it being small is irrelevant—it's useless.

The easiest way to ensure a video is small is to make it shorter. Most videos on Wavu Wiki should be around 2 to 5 seconds long. Be ruthless in cutting out dead time from a video.

For a tutorial on how to record, trim, and encode videos, see Wavu:Video recording tutorial.

Be careful recording on Infinite Azure, since sometimes there's a massive lens flare which makes text not legible after encoding.
