Introducing: The Best Web Applications For Video Streaming
When I would like to convert my videos into different formats, I often use a service called encoding dot com. In ‘encoding’ I can say this is for streaming one of the best web applications, vs this is for download. The video puts the size at the start or the end to say it’s for streaming.
When I export out of either ScreenFlow or iMovie I am always setting the optimised for streaming option on the MP4option. Always do that. Then I push them into encoding to get the assorted versions. I put the best quality version up to YouTube and because we are usually offering free content we are using that for streaming so we do not have to pay for the band width. Because I have optimised for streaming anyway if I had put it on Amazon, I had my own personal player, it might still be optimised for streaming.
Another similar service is VisualHub. If you can get it, definitely use it. I’ve tried lots of different video encoding software and I’ve found VisualHub is the best for our web video production Melbourne tasks. It’s the most consistent. I was given some footage from a client in a format that my editing system didn’t recognize because they hadn’t given me everything that I needed. I struggled to convert the footage and I ended up getting this material, it’s called iSkySoft. It’s quite good but it is limited in terms of what it will put out. This should be a second tier after VisualHub.
The other one is MPEG Streamclip. MPEG Streamclip is free, it is a free programme. It has got a player on it but it’s not superb, but it’s really good for changing photographs. I take footage out of my DSLR which is a compressed footage, which has been compressed and then I turn it into truly high level, prime quality footage, through an Apple codec that I use. So this is one of the best web applications you need to use as well that’s quite effective.
If all this material does not make sense, look in the Help, look up help files, it becomes quite simple after a bit.
Another handy tool is Animoto. We have an Animoto review you can see. Animoto rocks your world. Their tag line is known as the end of slide shows. What it does, it’s got the prettiest, easy to utilize interface. You simply upload photographs, whatever it is you want, pictures, brands, whatever it is you want. You put them in the order you want them to appear, you can add small titles with each one and then you hit ‘submit’ and it turns it into a slide-show. What it does, it uses templates, getting cool effects and so on which are built on motion graphics programs. What this does is create things that would take you hours and days to form.
It is free, it is free to do a thirty 2nd clip or you can pay per clip. You can do a minute or longer and you pay $3 per thing or you can purchase a subscription of roughly $30 a year and make Animotos. It’s one of the best web applications to just do something exciting, very hypey if you just need to get it out there. It is also a fairly good tool because where you put in text, and when you go in you can see, you can put in a title and a little bit of outline, but it is very limited, like twenty characters and then maybe 60 or something similar to that.
