Video and Stuff

What better why to kick off my video blog or vlog….

Then with a video tutorial on how I created my video blog. I use Flash, which is a great platform to deliver your video posts, especially since they added vp6 video to Flash 8. More and more people are switching to flash to deliver video, just ask Google Video.

I broke the tutorial into 5 steps:
1. Create a blog account on www.blogger.com.
2. Create an account on blip.tv. This is where your videos will be hosted for free.
3. Create your video post using Flix Pro.
4. Upload your video to blip.tv.
5. Publish a video post on your blog.

You will also want to add code to check that people viewing your blog has the correct flash version. I added the code to check and update users at the bottom of my blog. You will have to copy and paste all of the text into in your blogger.com template. See here for information on blooger.com templates.

The only tool I use to create straight video posts is Flix Pro. I am also one of the programmers who work on Flix Pro, so if anyone has any feature requests send them to me at vanderhugeblog ( at ) gmail ( dot ) com.
