Fast and easy video creation using an iPhone and YouTube.
Producing content quickly and with as little effort as possible is what this video is about.
I mentioned an iPhone video editing app in the video, but that took too long use. Putting in a title takes too much time/power on the iPhone as the entire file needs to render. Using YouTube annotations (later, via a computer) is probably the better easy way to accomplish watermarking or titling your video.
I’m still figuring out the fasted/easiest way to get either the YouTube link or embed code onto my Tumblr blog when using the Tumblr iPhone app. With a computer, it is easy and obvious what to do, using a phone requires some fancier footwork that I haven’t fully developed yet. But I’ll let you know…
Domain Name Stats And A Youtube Tip
A couple quick things…
1. Some recent domain name stats
At the end of 2009 there were more than 192 million domain name registrations across all the top level domain names, an increase of nearly 15 million domain name registrations since the close of 2008.
For 2009, the percentage of renewals that took place during the 40 day grace period was 5.9%.
28% of domain names have been registered for over six years.
17.4% of domain names use whois privacy.
2. And this is an interesting link within Youtube
You can turn on or off various features and get the embed code.
Also there is information at that link about putting Youtube videos into your own video player, not the standard Youtube player.
YouTube Adds “Unlisted” Video Feature
You know how on YouTube how your videos were either “public” or “private”?
And how they only allowed 25 users to view the private videos?
Now there is another option. Unlisted videos.
It’s simple, anyone who gets the link you provide can view the video. No one else has a clue. Of course the link could get passed around, which might be an interesting viral kind of thing…the “secret video” of/from… But for the times when you don’t need total privacy, yet neither do you want everyone in the world to easily find it, there is another choice, make a YouTube “unlisted” video.
