I Have to Re-upload 102 Videos

102 blog posts are now broken, and look like this:

It’s because Viddy shut down.

For a time, Viddy was like the Twitter of video; you could even edit using their app, add music, sophisticated stuff. Maybe too ahead of their time, people aren’t really watching online video like they will, so it’s out of business.

We had a good relationship – they’d promote me, Tweet my videos and highlight them in the app – so I uploaded a ton of videos exclusively to Viddy. That was my mistake.

Sad as it is to type this: that’s the last time I bet on the small guy. It’s YouTube and Google from now on, forever.

I downloaded all 102 videos, but they’re smaller than the originals and pretty grainy. The right thing to do is haul out my hard drives and sit here uploading 102 videos to my YouTube account, then re-embed them into the posts.

This will take 20 hours, at least.

The good news is it will force me to clean up my YouTube account.

Look how bad my YouTube account is:

I’ll make a few playlists and there’ll be 250+ videos (add in my “Canadian Explorer’ series, and that’s 400 videos online, totalling 9 edited hours of content.)

Top 4 most popular videos:

Quick Update Hi Hi

Great week so far, therefore great year, and specifically, great last 24 hours.  I jacknifed at least 7 times, killed it on 4  levels with work stuff,  and 3 other things that take too much typing.

Starting to get a handle on my new haircut.

Took some arty night shots of the Chrysler 300.

So. Arty.

My review prints at the end of the month. Really liked it. Canadian built, too.

Then Car Swap Day, and said goodbye after 2 weeks.  Now I’m driving a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT.

Excited, no dramatics. I requested this. So functional.

Hit 600 followers on my Viddy video channel.

Got stuck in my jacket.

The scarf material is so thin that it zipped right in and seized, trapping me. For a while too, the takeout got cold.

Remember that time I got stuck in some PVC piping? Oh boy.

Blog meeting with Andy. If you need anything WordPress, contact him.

No matter what you do, taking fake-working photos always feels dumb.

Dinner in my nest.

Which I later transformed into desk nest, and that’s where this post is coming from, hi hi.

Have a good rest-of-week, and great night tomorrow, it’s Thursday night, best night of the week!

I Love Video Editing, Except for the Time

That’s not entirely true; I quite like how the entire world disappears when I open Final Cut.

(here’s what video editing looks like)

I like creating the video. Designing the flow, rhythm, and story, what innovative cuts can I make, the tone (aside – video editors have the power of god, not being dramatic.  Like, you could be the nicest interview, and I can still cut it to make you seem like a d-bag.

But once that’s done, still have a lot of time to put in ironing out audio, matching up decimal places between cuts, dry and so boring OMG.

Been running all my videos through Viddy lately, do you know them? They’re like, the Twitter of video. Edit the video using their phone app, then filter it, add music, and upload it to an active, friendly community.

Had a video pass 1,000 views recently, this one:
