It was absolute torture to be spending 3 hours on my 1-hour commute (snow) and not having the time to parody the iPad. So many thoughts, and no time to make a video. But I took solace in finding that MidnightBlade created this brilliant parody of Hitler’s response. The Hitler parodies are not new, and…
Review of Mac’s new shuffle with remote-controlled headphones and voice control… this video explores this new device and gives it thumbs down.
Alright, Google. I realize that Chrome development was non trivial. I read your entire cartoon about what Chrome does, and I’m sure making it work on Mac is no easy feat (not to mention that Mac users are a small segment relative to PC). But now a YouTube widget that works on Linux and PCs,…
There I was. Frustrated this morning after forgetting how I converted some of my old Windows Movie files (from the 1990s) into to something I could edit in Mac iMovie and post to YouTube. I’m running through various options, experimenting with various free software, and running into brick walls. Hours pass. Then I had this…
Guest blog by Alan Lastufka (FallofAutumnDistro), video creator, emo, blogger and author of the forthcoming “YouTube: An Insider’s Guide to Climbing the Charts.” When uploading a new video to YouTube, or any other video-sharing site, you need to give a few pieces of information to the site because encoding software can’t actually watch your videos….
It’s July 3, which is annual “bitch about your stupid cell phone day.” Don’t verify that on Wikipedia yet. So let’s step back, but not rate or compare the Microsoft oPhone, iPhone, Android and Blackberry for a moment. But let’s not debate Mac versus Microsoft versus Google versus Blackberry. It just divides humanity, and that’s what…
Did you know there’s a tool that allows you to easily convert iSight footage to a YouTube upload? It’s called Vidnik. And it’s one of a hanful of cool shareware video applications available for you Mac users (all 45 of you). Ostatic reveals “6 essential open source apps for Mac videographers.” Some are handy, like…
I’m going out on a limb here, but I predict that independent web-to-tv boxes will be (albiet perhaps temporary) an inevitable part of the pending collision between our television sets and Internet. We’re past that debate about whether TV or online-video will prevail. There will be a hybrid model, and quite frankly I can’t wait…
As I mentioned in my recent eBook (“How to Become Popular on YouTube Without Any Talent“), Obama-Girl creator Ben Relles taught me about the power of blogs to get a viral video to a tipping point. Candidly, I’m usually too lazy to go searching for blogs that might like a video, and kinda hope they’ll…
It’s the age old problem. You import an MPEG, Quicktime (.mov) or AVI into iMovie, and get a video with no audio. Or the dreaded white screen with working audio. That, of course, plunges you into countless hours of Google searches, flings you into the black hole of forum & help sites, and ultimately convinces…
