Capture Mozilla
Description
The Capture Mozilla Project uses video to capture and share knowledge (from know-how to cultural) across the Mozilla community. The aim of Capture Mozilla is:
- To generate brief interactive videos that give the know-how Mozillians need to to act quickly.
- To collect existing and new video from the community that shares knowledge.
- To use a self-serve model that gives Mozillians easy access to relevant knowledge at whatever level of contribution they engage in.
- To make video fun, interactive and easy to share.

Webmaker
Description
Mozilla’s Webmaker is the coalition of open tools and teaching in the hands of a growing community dedicated to teaching digital skills and web literacy. Our mission is to help people know more, do more and do better through the open web - a web that is knowable, interoperable and everyone’s. At Webmaker we do this by building great tools, inspiring and supporting communities, teaching and learning and shaping the environments in which the open web is made possible.

2. (If you've created your own video) Upload it to either YouTube or Vimeo.
3. Using Popcorn maker, edit your video by doing one of the following:
- Make use of footage from the previous step [example]
