Short promo/ad video I made to promote our discourse forums

Thought I might share this It’s a bit rough around the edges but seems to be working. The idea was to show the modern, look and feel of Discourse and naturally communicate that forums are not dead.

I’m actually running it as a Facebook ad right now. Small spend, $25. When people tap the video, the forums appear underneath.

Has anyone else made a promo video like this? I think it would be cool to make something based around the “most loved” features amongst discourse communities.

Excellent idea! We’re creating some short videos ourselves but they are based more around functionality than most loved features. I’d love to see what people come up with here. If they’re great we’ll share them on our Twitter.

Cool. Looking forward to seeing those. Do you have a timeline yet?

Here are the 3 that @erlend_sh has already made. The rest lie with me and I’m too scared to commit to a timeline.

这些视频还存在吗?或者有更新的视频向新用户介绍 Discourse 吗?

抱歉挖坟,但我找到的替代方案更老。与此同时,一分钟以内的视频因 TikTok、Instagram 等而成为主流,而五分钟以内的软件介绍早已是主流。

我想知道现在有什么可用的。我们的新用户喜欢 Discobot 和我们为他们提供的快速支持,但这些视频对他们很有用……特别是对于那些还没有加入论坛的人,因为他们会进入某个页面,却看不到与他们已经在使用的社交媒体等相比的优势。

我将查看这些链接,看看它们是否已移至其他位置(并且仍然相关 :slight_smile:),但以下这些可能有些用处?

谢谢!也许 Jono 的这些视频(也许他还能记得我,因为我们曾一起在 GNOME 工作过 :D)能解决问题……如果能有版本将它们剪辑成解释单个概念的短片就好了。有些人可能会花 1 小时 27 分钟观看一个 Discourse 视频……但大多数人更有可能分批观看大约 5 分钟的片段,即使最后把所有短时间观看加起来会花费更长的时间。

如果你能找到一个具备基本视频编辑技能的人,能将你现有的长视频剪辑成几个面向新用户的短视频,我个人认为这会产生很大的影响。(长视频对管理员和高级用户来说是可以的。)

说得有理。:slightly_smiling_face: 我会看看有没有一些简短的视频。:+1:

虽然不太一样,但如果你还没看过,Understanding Discourse for new users 也有一些核心功能的使用技巧。
