Confirm that either you own the copyright to the video and are willing to apply a free license to it, or otherwise that the video already has a free copyright license.Identify the video file which you wish to share.Or another easy way to get video into Wikimedia Commons is as follows: Start at step 3 and upload the file to Video2commons.
It should be noted that the process can get technically complicated, especially when it comes to advanced settings and command line interfaces, yet it's possible to convert with user-friendly applications with default configuration. Converting video is a subject that still needs research and testing. Each has limitations and drawbacks and may not work on all video files. Some of the programs that can be used for video conversion (and also editing) are Miro Video Converter, aTube Catcher and Avidemux.
Wikimedia community wishes to encourage the use of free and open source software. However, most videos available online or produced by recording devices are in other formats, which is why conversion is needed. Wikimedia Commons seeks video files which are within the project scope, such as educational videos, and which are in a free file format, which currently only means WebM and Ogg Theora (and WebM is preferred).
