Have you ever wanted to add some special effects to your video. It’s not hard and you don’t have to pay for a free program that allows you to do this. Go to a site :http://www.bubleply.com. In three steps you can create special effects;a link within the video you can click; or other special effects. It’s a lot of fun just to play around. I took an older video and just experimented with a couple of the tools. Try it out for yourself.
Have you ever been on a website or blog where a video box was a stylish image instead of the traditional black box video? You can achieve the same effect on your site without spending a dime. Here’s how.
Go to www,videolightbox.com where you can download a free program that will add a stylish popup video to your website or blog with just a few clicks.
All it takes is 3 easy steps: 1.Add Video, 2.Select Template, 3.Publish. At the first step, you add a video clip, for example cut-n-paste YouTube url, then select the template for video popup and video thumbnail appearance and, at the final step, publish the result to a local drive or directly to the Internet via a built-in FTP client.
Video LightBox generates a nice image thumbnail for your clip. On click, this thumbnail expands into a stylish overlay window containing the video. No css, html, javascript coding, no image editing, just a couple of clicks to get the your video added to the Web!
You are provided with the html code that you can past into your webpage or blog just as you would embed a YouTube video with its code. Here are some of the features of this free program.
Features
Add Youtube, Google Video, Metacafe, Vimeo, MySpace videos, flv, mp4, 3gp video files
Mac & Windows versions
XHTML compliant
Automatic thumbnail creation
Adding caption
Rounded corners of overlay window
A lot of nice gallery themes
