Uses of Video Email

There’s no better substitute than making a personal connection with those in your business and personal communications. Read on below the table for video email custom template and email icons that can be designed for you. A custom template represents all the graphics, buttons, and links that surround your video when viewed by your recipients that supplement your branding effort while directing them to other online resources to enable them to take further action and/or contact you. An email icon is the graphic which is inserted into your video email message to also enhance your branding which, when clicked, launches the video in their web browser.

CoVideo News:  Expanded List of Video File Types Allowed

I was still on Dave Kaminski’s Blog at www.WebVideoUniversity.com and thought I’d forward his post over to my blog.  Dave mentions two companies with live video streaming services that allow website owners to do live web broadcasts from their own websites.

• UStream’s Watershed
• Stickam’s StreamAPI

I’ve been wanting to give UStream a test drive, but I will now be taking a look at StreamAPI as well.

Today, courtesy of Dave Kaminski at Web Video University (www.webvideouniversity.com) via his “Web Video Tip of the Week”, I became aware of a new source of stock video footage.

It’s called Pond5 Stock Footage

From their “About” page:

Pond5.com is the world’s first open marketplace for stock video footage, and it’s a better way for video professionals to buy or sell stock footage for use in productions. Video, film and television producers anywhere in the world can find and buy instantly downloadable, broadcast quality royalty-free footage for use in their productions. Video/film creators and content owners around the world can offer their owned work for licensing and use by others. And, like any vital marketplace, people are able to connect, collaborate and share creative inspiration.

Pond5’s approach is simple. We believe a video marketplace must provide solid value to buyers and sellers. This means great pricing for buyers, solid financial return for sellers, a useful connection with the production community, and fast, easy systems that embody practical understanding of today’s video production workflow.

Pond5’s focus on value is supported by its strong marketplace dynamics. Our content contributors receive an industry-leading 50% payout for licensed content, and they are allowed to set their own prices. This has created true marketplace pricing not found anywhere else, and Pond5 is able to offer the most affordable broadcast quality HD and SD footage in the market today.

Pond5.com’s public beta went live in early 2006. We have experienced steady growth of buyers and sellers, of volume and range of content in all categories, and of license sales since the start. 100’s of content owners/contributors from over 30 countries sell to 1000’s of buyers from over 50 countries in all levels of professional and semi-pro film and video production.

Additionally, they have an affiliate referall program whereby you can earn a commission by referring traffic to their site.  For 12 months after a new user signs up, you’ll receive 5% of all their content sales and purchases.
