			** Warr1024's "Dogfooding" and "Community" series are generally CC-BY (ask Warr1024 if you want higher-quality encodes than YouTube has).
			** The NodeCoreMT Twitch account will have a couple weeks of VODs available; these should all be CC0.

New page

NodeCore currently does not have an "official" teaser/trailer video, and would very much like one. For this purpose, a sort of open-ended "contest" will be started.

The video chosen by the developer(s), with some feedback from the community as a whole, would be featured on the ContentDB page, this article, and possibly other places (e.g. if the project ever gets its own homepage).

= Criteria =

'''''N.B.''' any/all criteria may change over time, as more is learned.''

== Necessary ==

* Whole, and each and every part, is licensed CC0, CC-BY, or a mix of those.
* Nothing preventing it from being hosted on YouTube, PeerTube, and similar platforms.
* Submitted to the project (contact Warr1024) for consideration for this purpose (we can't use it if we don't know about it).

== Preferred ==

* Video should be under 2 minutes (or length should be justifiable from content).
* Video should be engaging, probably have some kind of narrative structure.
* Pack in as much vanilla NodeCore content as possible, gameplay across tech levels, features, etc.
* Focus on "teasing", not "tutorial" (spoilers are okay, but avoid showing all of how they work).
* Show only vanilla content: use vanilla textures, avoid mods that are visible in-game.
* Avoid showing/mentioning anything other than NodeCore (e.g. other games for comparison).
* Bake licensing/credit info into the video (e.g. card at ent) in case metadata/descriptions are lost.
* Keep the video project and raw footage so you can maintain it (make & release fixes).

== Nice To Have ==

* Publish the video project source files somewhere, if feasible.
* Best possible audio/visual quality: good settings, high res/fps, low-loss encoding.
* Make a high-quality encode available from before mangling by YouTube re-encoding.
* Use more "cinematic" than "practical" settings (e.g. lower display_gamma).
