Yes, looks like it. Looks like he's making a living as an online video consultant. I think he's done that site quite well. Including a transparent video player of him welcoming you to the site, just like we were talking about in the other thread.

Re: [videoblogging] manage Show Player
Hi Sarah - welcome :) I use custom Blip players a lot. I think when you say Segments, you just mean 1 video for each segment, yes? You're talking about embedding separate single videos using your customised player? The trick is not to embed from My Show but to embed from the individual video post page. Go to your Dashboard and click on a video to go to its page. Click Share, on the right hand side, and choose Embed from the menu that pops up, then click Go. You should now see the embed code for that individual video, with a menu that says Custom Player Style: Default Show Player. You can just use this setting to embed an individual video - it's different from the My Show player, confusingly. Or you can choose a customized player with your own choice of buttons and colors, by clicking the Custom Player Style menu, and choosing your custom player from the menu. If you've created and saved a custom player correctly, you will have given it its own name. The other thing you can do is combine more than one video in a custom player, using Playlists. Add as many videos as you want to a Playlist, and then either use the standard embed code in the Playlist section, or create your own custom player and change Type to Playlist - then choose the playlist you've created. Weird that Blip haven't replied - they're usually super efficient at replying - it's always been one of the best things about them.

RE: [videoblogging] manage Show Player
Thanks, Rupert. That's exactly the right answer. Sara, I'm sorry that nobody got back to you from blip.tv support. I checked our e-mail system and don't see any correspondence from you at all, so it must have gotten lost along the way. Did you e-mail supp...@blip.tv?
Re: [videoblogging] manage Show Player
Yes I sure did ...I recieved a reply from emily this morning on two questions I had this being one of them and she said that she did have enough experience to answer these questions and she could send them on to the developer to see if he had any insights. I guess I was a bit shocked that she didn't know how to answer me question. Well I replied back to her ..and tried to re-write my question about the Show Player only .Thinking that might help ..Maybe I didn't explain well enough or something ..since I don't have all the computer lingo down ...And told her to forget about the other question I asked for now as this is really my biggest problem I am having at the time ...and am waiting on this to be resolved so I can get my class up and running ...this is the last thing I need to get going. I did go in and spend another hour this morning playing around with settings again ,,,and just can't get it to work ..and I know it's possible because I have seen it done with another person. Yes I wrote and asked that person ..but they are very busy ..so I haven't recieved a response as of yet ...Seems like this one thing has really got me stopped in my tracks. So again waiting to see if I get a reply back from Emily ..I am guessing that could take a couple days again though. So Looks like it's my lot to be patient right now ...

[videoblogging] Videoformes Video Festival Opens This Week - vlogger Robert Croma featured
Hello again This week marks the beginning of the 24th Videoformes festival for Art Video and Digital Culture. The festival is run by group members Gabriel Soucheyere and Loiez Daniel in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Check out their site at: http://www.videoformes-fest.com/ The festival runs from 11-29 March, and if it's anything like what I witnessed last year, VIdeo Art and Digital Culture will take over on the streets of Clermont-Ferrand. Not only is there a main exhibition hall, but installations and events can be found throughout the city. And it's all excellent work. This year, videoblogging's own Robert Croma (http://robertcroma.com/) will be among the artists featured at Videoformes, and I know Loiez and Gabriel are very excited to have him there. Please give the Videoformes site a look. Gabriel and Loiez are true champions in the digital art space, and have worked for years to bring exposure and legitamacy to the digital artist. And congratualtions to our friends in France. Your hard work and advocacy is much appreciated!

[videoblogging] Meet the elite!
Here's the kind of post that would have induced a feeding frenzy back in the good old bad old days here on the group. Like throwing an underling to the piranhas. In the spirit of that, I give you: The International Academy of Web Television http://www.iawtv.org/ Just launched last week, though no one mentioned it here. Members are voting on The Streamys awards which Josh Cohen announced a while ago here. The Academy was created by a cartel of the main web video news sites: Tilzy.tv, Tubefilter and NewTeeVee. They've published their inaugural membership list, featuring some of our friends from the group. Most of those you'd expect, who have popular shows, know a lot of people, do the social media thing well, and connect in real life in the right circles at meetups in NY, SF or LA (But not Scoble or Feldman or Ze Frank). Not just performers and show producers, but executives and talent agents. I'm not quite sure why the limit on numbers - other Academies have hundreds or thousands of members, and there are quite a few people I'd want to see on the list who aren't there, because they're either not commercial enough or not well enough connected - even though they have strong and interesting voices and ideas about web television and independent production. That said, I'm particularly glad to see WS in there. Although I clearly remember Quirk saying that awards were pretentious and pointless, and belong on the wall of real estate offices, so I hope you're not going to vote in the Streamys. (I nominated you). And so much for International - as far as I can see, the only even vaguely non-US representation there is Daily Motion's US representative and RDF television's US executive. Not even anybody from any other English speaking countries? That's just lazy - I wouldn't be so bothered by it if it wasn't called the International Academy of Web Television. If you're going to call it that, you've got to go out of your way to get some representation from other countries, on more than a token level. Anyway, now the media has an official organisation to talk to when they do stories about Web TV. So if the rest of us want to have a voice in media discussion of web video (its present state and its future), we'd better follow Jeffrey's lead and organize ourselves. Rupert http://twittervlog.tv
Re: [videoblogging] Meet the elite!
Big pet peeve of mine when US orgs call themselves international in word, but not in deed. I'm willing to help in any way I can, and have lots of ex-US contacts, so anyone in charge please feel free to ping me. I understand that there's reps from international companies, but a big missing I see here is the independent creators from outside the US. They need empowering, too! In any case, I'm glad this is coming up. Commercial online video producers need legitimacy, best practice and labor standards in the face of traditional corporate hegemony. Traditional media execs needs to know that online shows are not cat pissing in toilet vids on YouTube. The community needs to develop guidelines, not a set of rules, that can help emerging talent create their own wins. And most importantly, commercial online video producers need to ensure that they're not relegated to being cheap labor just because they can do everything studios can with fewer people and less overhead. Cheaper is fine, exploitive is not. For these reasons, I really hope that the iawtv is a success. I think the thing we all need to realize now is that the medium is developing to the point that different genres are solidifying in online video content. This is a wonderful thing, and we need to ensure that we put the cheering on of people following their bliss at the forefront and put our I don't like this and our I wouldn't do it that way types of statements on the backburner. 2009/3/9 Rupert rup...@fatgirlinohio.org Here's the kind of post that would have induced a feeding frenzy back in the good old bad old days here on the group.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: manage Show Player
OK. I left out the part where I should have said copy and paste the code. I think you might be so frustrated with it all that you're looking too hard. You're on the video page, you've clicked Share, chosen Embed and clicked Go - then just copy the code that appears. Don't click Edit player customizations. The code you're supposed to be embedding starts with this: embed src=http://blip.tv/play/... That's what you want to copy and paste into your page. Just that. It's in a big box directly under the thing you've just clicked. Like I said, you can just leave the setting on the Default Show Player. As I said before, this Default Show Player is not the other Whole Show Player you've been embedding, this is a different single episode player. Or, if you want to use your customized player with the branding and color changes you made in the Manage Show Player section, you can choose it by clicking Default Show Player - a menu will pop up and you can choose your own player.

So if the rest of us want to have a voice in media discussion of web video (its present state and its future), we'd better follow Jeffrey's lead and organize ourselves. That's the sad and frustrating part of it. The media will indeed go to an outfit like that and scan down its roster to find out about web video. My main problem is that the awards are limited to episodic shows. The requirements: Any original production produced for broadband distribution with at least three (3) episodes released in the 2008 calendar year can qualify for consideration. The show must also be easily viewed and available online, either via a major video sharing site or unique URL. That would rule me out (boo hoo) because I make documentary web TV sites that mix text and video within a CMS such as in http://PinePlainsViews.com and http://Hestakaup.com. I just resent the fact that they cannot be recognized for outstanding achievement in web television arts and sciences because they do not fit into a confining and arbitrary model. That's not why I got into broadband TV, just to ape the networks and Hollywood. I've already been there, done that. Broadband TV can be so much more! The publicity, and some recognition, though, would help make my efforts be sustaining by broadening the audience. Stan Hirson http://PinePlainsViews.com http://Hestakaup.com
[videoblogging] what's the difference?
Is there a general consensus regarding the difference between blip-tv, mefeedia and veoh? It seems to me that any one of those companies could be used to create a video show or channel. But I'm wondering if there is a guideline for which company (blip-tv, mefeedia, veoh or other) to use in certain situations, or a list of relative strengths for each one. Any suggestions?

That will change the embed code, and you can copy that.

You should now see the embed code for that individual video, with a menu that says Custom Player Style: Default Show Player. You can just use this setting to embed an individual video - it's different from the My Show player, confusingly.

It seems to me that any one of those companies could be used to create a video show or channel. blip and veoh are both video hosting companies. Mefeedia is a channel system...but the videos need to be uploaded elsewhere. There are hundreds of free video hosting sites. You should read the Terms of Service and check out the community you want to hang with. You could also just use a system like http://tubemogul.com and get your videos everywhere.

[videoblogging] Re: Meet the elite!
Rupert - You bring up some great points and valid concerns. Let me try to address them: 1) Limit on numbers - We wanted to limit the initial numbers of the IAWTV so we could create a nimble organization that in its inaugural years is capable of getting a lot accomplished. That includes designing an organizational structure that will address a lot of the online video community's concerns. In too many instances we've seen fledgling organizations buckle under the weight of their membership before they were ever able to really get off the ground. I think we have a great core group that's a well-balanced mix of independent content creators, executives, agents, and other creatives who are invested in the industry and its future. In the coming months they'll shape the way the academy grows and the induction process for new members. That being said, I would love to see more independent content creators represented as the IAWTV moves forward and if you have any suggestions on the types of, or specific people you'd like to see in the academy, please send them over. 2) International - Agreed, there admittedly isn't a whole lot of representation outside of the US at this moment, but hopefully that will quickly change (in fact, we're building in support for non-English language selections for next year's Streamy Awards). Again, if Jeffrey or anyone else has recommendations for people who live outside the US who are dedicated to the space, please send those names over. 3) And to Jeffrey's point, ultimately the IAWTV is about providing legitimacy to and growing the web television space. I think an organization like this can have a much bigger voice than the sum of its parts and bring a lot more well-deserved recognition to the online video community as a whole, which I believe is good for everyone. Moving forward, I also hope the IAWTV is able to accomplish a lot of what Jeffrey mentioned: best practices and labor standards and providing guidelines and resources for emerging talent. We all realize the IAWTV is a nascent organization within a burgeoning industry.

In any case, I'm glad this is coming up. Commercial online video producers need legitimacy, best practice and labor standards in the face of traditional corporate hegemony. Traditional media execs needs to know that online shows are not cat pissing in toilet vids on YouTube.

Members are voting on The Streamys awards which Josh Cohen announced a while ago here. The Academy was created by a cartel of the main web video news sites: Tilzy.tv, Tubefilter and NewTeeVee. They've published their inaugural membership list, featuring some of our friends from the group. Most of those you'd expect, who have popular shows, know a lot of people, do the social media thing well, and connect in real life in the right circles at meetups in NY, SF or LA (But not Scoble or Feldman or Ze Frank). Not just performers and show producers, but executives and talent agents. I'm not quite sure why the limit on numbers - other Academies have hundreds or thousands of members, and there are quite a few people I'd want

Re: [videoblogging] Re: manage Show Player
Yes, internet explorer is a bit of a pain, but Blip should have their site tested to work with IE, since it's still the most popular browser, I think. I think maybe they're Mac users. Firefox is good, it's what I use on my Mac, and Blip works fine with it, as do most things.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Meet the elite!
Great - thanks for replying so thoroughly. I did wonder when I walked out of my sweaty dark basement office into the crisp blue mountain afternoon whether I'd veered from legitimate observation into snark, and I hope not.Like Jeffrey, I totally see the value and importance of this. If anything, a focal point for the web TV show industry is overdue. And it helps focus the mind on the idea of organising for non-commercial artists.
