Here are the steps to mint your first video NFT:

  1. Install the MetaMask browser extension, if you don't already have it

  2. Launch the Storylines dApp (or decentralized application) from the homepage

  3. Name and describe your project; add a tier of NFTs;

  7. You can now sell your minted NFT on an NFT marketplace like Opensea (for Ethereum) or DaVinci Gallery (for Harmony). The viewer can view the video by going to the URL https://app.storylines.video/video/{token-number} (where {token-number} is the number of the NFT token); the viewer will need to connect with MetaMask and the viewing app will check their MetaMask wallet for the requisite NFT before being able to play the video.

TaDa!
