What is Vidders Chat?
Vidders chat is a weekly zoom meeting where people can meet up and talk about vidding, share their in progress works, get new ideas, or just chill. Most of the people there are vidders, but you don't have to be a vidder to join the chat (just be aware that sometimes we'll actually talk about editing). The meeting is held at 15:30 Eastern US Time on Sundays.
If you want to know about the general vibe of the chat, we've made some memes.
The zoom link for joining each week is: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/94188463582?pwd=aUQ0QlpyM2RuMi9NNDREZVUxanFDUT09
We have a variety of different events we hold at the Vidders Chat. If you click on any of our Vidders Chat events in our calendar you can get a description of the event as well as the zoom link to join us! Some events involve creating a vid (which is generally done outside of the chat) or bringing vids to show everyone, but most are just topics to get us talking about certain aspects of vids or vidding.
At a normal chat:
We start with some small talk as people join the meeting, we might talk about upcoming and past conventions
Then we talk about our in progress vids and beta them for each other (betas are appreciated whether or not they vid themselves!)
We have a brief question corner to see if anyone needs some help with their editing software
Then we have our topic of the week! This could be talking about vids, planning a challenge for any vidder who wants to opt-in, or just watching vids
On weeks where we don't have a topic, we usually just end up chatting about whatever fandoms we are into or talking about real life
After the topic of the week, we might go back to question corner if someone has more questions or we might watch some more in-progress vids. If everyone's satisfied though, we'll probably just go into general chatting about fandom
Although the memes may suggest otherwise, vidders chat does sometimes include talking about vids. People share tips, beta watch, and discuss vidshows.
However, we often get distracted.
Especially if someone started watching a new show / movie.
