Busy Sunday: We’ve Got Video
We made two updates to the site last night for your viewing pleasure: 1) we posted the first Ballhype Demo, and 2) added support for embedded YouTube and Google Video.
The demo was made with Camtasia which I have to say is a huge upgrade from what I was previously using. I’ve wanted to get a demo posted for a couple of weeks now, but with all of the changes we’ve been implementing on the site (user profile sidebar, locale filter, sport navigation in the header, to name a few), I kept putting it off. Even last night I ended up splicing extra clips in because the demo was getting outdated even as I was working on it. No time for a code freeze around here.
As soon as Jason deployed the YouTube video support, they removed the SNL Peyton Manning clip from YouTube, so the first usage of this feature kind of bit the dust. But already today there are several more on the site.
Booooooooo you need to add some hot music to the demo video! Fire up the Kenny G.
Thanks for the suggestion! I will do this after we launch. Now I’ll end up thinking about the soundtrack options all night…
