- John is an amateur filmmaker who's made a movie. He wants to crowdfund its post production and actual distribution. He goes to the platform he know about (Catarse), and creates a project.
- John inputs his personal info, project description, financing targets, and the gets to the "video" part. This present catarse video screen is very simple, and just gives an option to embed a YT or viemo video directly:
- 3 So there's some very simple things that can push John to leverage Paratii. Notice that, in this case, all that's shown at this point is the screen above. We might not need an "iframe uploader" there on Catarse at all. Here are some options:
- 3.1 Indeed have an uploader within an iFrame. It could be right next to the "see successfull videos" box, in Catarse's case. Drag and drop file, 2-sentence explanation, 1 field at a time for title, description, tags. This can be bad because it's probably going to have to reshape itself to every "video" project page out there, in different c.funding platforms, as for getting the use case to scale.
- 3.2 Instead of saying "paste your YT or Vimeo link", the little helper can say "paste your YT, Vimeo or Paratii link here". John hovers over Paratii, reads a little box that tells him he can earn more and reach more people, clicks on it and go straight to an uploading URL in another tab (with some presets suitable for the case, like, this is not going to be pay per view at all) that will redirect him back to the project's page as soon as it's finished (or the uploading process is alright and ongoing by itself).
- 3.3 The helper just mentions YT and Vimeo, but, once you click "save", you get a pop up box that asks you if you don't want to mirror that content to Paratii, in order to earn some extra money and boost spreading of your content. Then you're presented w/ a checkbox for "maintaining original metadata", or individual fields (1 by 1) if you uncheck and want to change this. You say ok, things proceed, you go the other project steps, and you receive an email from Paratii (saying Paratii + Catarse) w/ details on the video & crypto afterwards.
