Hi everyone. What video platform do you like to use for making short
introduction video’s on your sites? I was looking for something free.
I was thinking of Viddler, but I don’t think they’re free, maybe I’m wrong.
If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan.
Do you want to host the video yourself? If so, you can use things like
If you want the vids hosted by others, then there are lots of options again, YouTube being the most obvious, but also Viddler, Vimeo, Blip TV and so on.
Thanks, Ralph. I’ll be checking these out. I was thinking of videoing myself mostly.
Thanks again,
Dan.
Yes, but that’s not what I was referring to. I mean that once the video is created, you have two basic options: either upload it to a video hosting service like YouTube or Vimeo and then link to the video from your website (it will still be able to play on your website, but will also be viewable from the hosting service itself if you so choose), or you can upload the video to your own web server (wherever your website is hosted) and use one of those video players I linked to (such as Flowplayer) to enable people to click “play” to view the video.
Hi Ralph. Yes now I see what your saying. Yes that would be exactly what
I’m looking for. Both, eventually. I’m a total newbie with this, so sometimes I need a little more
explanation. You did a great job doing that. Thanks so much for all the info.
Dan.
jplayer, jw player , Flowplayer, are good choice! however, i suggest your use some free source such as youtube to save your server resource
I like JW Player and VideoJS.
If you do decide to use one of those video players you can save on your hosting resources by uploading the videos to Amazon S3.
i use youtube an its free
