Time-Lapse Photographer Reviews Video Sites

ByNalts

Mike Posehn is a time-lapse photographer and creator of the GBTimeLapse software that helps turn digital photos into time-lapse videos. In his post on GraniteBaySoftware’s blog, he compares various video sites.

His goals are similar to many of ours:

1) Good video quality, easy and fast uploading and an attractive and flexible video player.
2) To drive traffic to my site I need a site with a big audience.
3) For extra revenue I need a site with an ad revenue sharing business model.

He reviews Brightcove, YouTube, Metacafe, Revver, Google Video and VideoEgg… as well as two I didn’t know. Zudeo and Stage6.

Make Your YouTube Videos Look Better – Through Compression
