How do you do your video transcriptions on Whiteboard Friday's? Are they done manually or with software?

Hey!
Good question and Mike's answer is partially right. In addition to their awesome turn around for transcriptions, Speechpad is also a great company and we like their values! So we decided to stick with them. Wistia launched their transcription service after we had been using Speechpad for a while, so rather than just jump ship on Speechpad we stuck with them because we think they are cool. We also think Wistia is the coolest ever and have stuck with them and will continue to until the world ends ;).
Also, check this out! http://www.seomoz.org/blog/tips-for-filming-whiteboard-presentations I wrote a blog post about a lot of our processes for WBF. It could be helpful for you in the future.

Hi Dana,
I don't work for SEOmoz (although I wish I did!).
I know SEOmoz uses Wistia for hosting, but it looks like they do their transcriptions through SpeechPad. I am guessing the reasoning behind it is money - Wistia costs $5 per minute to be returned within 24 hours and SpeechPad is only $2.50 per minute with a 24 hour turn-time.
And depending on when Rand and company film, they could potentially get the cost down to $1 per minute with a one week turn-time.
Only speculation on my part
Mike

Hi Mike,
I know you guys use Wistia for the videos. Is there any particular reason you guys have opted not to use their transcription service? I ask because we are transitioning to Wistia, but one thing I don't like is not being able to add our own transcriptions if we want to. Thanks!

SEOmoz uses https://www.speechpad.com/ for Whiteboard Friday transcription.
If you scroll down to the bottom of the transcription text you will see the SpeechPad URL, as well as http://blog.speechpad.com/video-transcription/ for the actual service.

Did Google change/eliminate rich snippets for videos?
For example, if you search "Whiteboard Friday" on Google, the only rich snippets are for YouTube videos. None of the rich snippets point to Moz.com directly This contradicts this video from Wistia about video SEO - http://wistia.com/learning/video-seo

Looking for Video Production Setup Guide post
Hi Guys, I'm looking for a specific video post I recall watching, i thought it was on moz.com, all about creating a decent set up for video production. It discussed things like lighting setup, sound, hardware on a budget etc. I have searched the moz.com blog video tag archive, as well as the Q&A, but haven't been able to find what I'm looking for. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Help Analyzing A Youtube Video
This youtube video dominates the top search phrases for my area. The problem is that this JUST happened. It wasn't there last week, and the video has only been uploaded a month. Also, this law firm has not been ranking for anything that I have seen until now. It's all just out-of-nowhere. I saw the WBF about Fresh Content, but there's not a lot of Google News or dates referenced in any of the other results. This video looks like a great outlier to me, but I'm guessing I'm just missing something. Any ideas? I'd love to mimic this success! As always, thanks everyone! Ruben

Shooting Video: What hardware would you recommend?
I'm looking to start publishing basic video guides for the company website. Me, a whiteboard and some useful information.... maybe weekly, possibly on a Friday. Think I saw some guy do something similar once... 🙂 I'm looking to spend about $300 - $350 on the hardware - I'm thinking $300 on the camera and $50 on an external mic. Testing with iPhone videos and the video function on point and shoot digital still cameras came back with lighting and sound issues, hence the move to buy some equipment. I don't mind it looking simple, but don't want it looking (and sounding) too cheap. Does anyone have any recommendations? What (if anything) do you use? Any videos I can watch to judge the quality? Anything you think I should definitely not go without (tripod? etc) Thanks! Thanks for the tips guys. Am currently trying to get hold of a bigger budget. Lighting, boom mike and two cameras. Will post a few examples once I have them. Cheers!
