This blog has been fantastic, thanks to the hard work of Topher Welsh, but we’ve closed it down to make way for the new VideoHive Tumblog. You’ll still receive all the same VideoHive news, tutorials, and industry happenings, but now it’ll come in shorter, more regular Tumblr posts. If you sign up for your own Tumblr account, you can follow us, reblog us, and “like” your favorite posts – just like on Twitter.
In addition to the new blog format, there’s a new man in charge – Adrian Try. You may know Adrian from AudioTuts, but now he’s taking on the role of scouring the web for the most interesting and most relevant information to you!
We can’t wait to see you over on the new Tumblog!
We would like to announce that Inside the Hive will be taking a “holiday hiatus” over the festive season and will be back in 2010. The wait will definitely be worth it however as we’re going to be changing the format of all our blogs in the new year. This format change will still provide readers with industry news, reviews, and resources. But it will allow us to provide more focused content. You’re not gonna want to miss it! Meanwhile, site news and announcements will continue to be posted right here on the existing blog.

What’s an “API”? A Pink Igloo? A Pig Itching? Not quite.
The Marketplace’s Application Programming Interface (API) allows the development of applications with access to a range of data from all the marketplaces such as the most popular and latest files. More sensitive data such as your account balance, recent sales, and monthly statements can also be accessed securely using your individual API key!
So what? I’m a designer – why should I be interested in geeky code interface stuff? Well, using the API you can develop apps/sites for your mobile, your desktop, or even your blog. Did I mention you can even design and style your applications however you want? Now that’s pretty cool, right?!
Since the Marketplace API was released about 6 months ago, several authors have jumped in feet first to develop some outstanding contributions for the community.
Let’s see what’s been going on…

Everyone please join me in congratulating Placdarms for being VideoHive’s featured author!
Placdarms resides in Latvia and has been with VideoHive since June 2009.
Ever since joining VideoHive, Placdarms has been pumping out brilliant files. Focusing on the project files category, he has been able to begin growing a portfolio that’s filled with winners. Boasting super clean graphics, with well timed camera moves, and perfect composition, this is one author you should be following. Oh, and I’m pretty sure he’s the only author that had a featured file within his first week of uploading a file. That’s an impressive achievement!

Everyone please join me in congratulating Graymachine for being VideoHive’s featured author!
Graymachine resides in Los Angeles and has been with VideoHive since February 2008.
Graymachine is an author that needs little introduction. For those of you who frequently visit Graymachine.com you may know him as Harry Frank. Harry, has been an integral part of the video community for many years. In the past, the video community was much smaller, and resources were never as readily available as some other professions like Graphic Design. That has been changing over the last few years, and Harry Frank is one of the guys behind that movement. He’s also the creator of the new “Video Rock” tool set, that we recently reviewed here.
Here are a few stand out files. But be sure to check out Graymachine’s full portfolio!
