A Glimpse of What’s to Come!
Hello everyone, I’d like to start off by officially announcing that I am going to be the site manager of VideoHive! I’m extremely happy VH is finally upon us and can’t wait to see some great works from all of you! Now let me break down a few new features, and a few changes you can expect to see when VideoHive launches in just a few short hours!
With the new site, the decision was made that now would be the perfect time to spruce things up a bit. There are a few new file sections, some small changes to upload requirements, and a very impressive preview player. Yes, yes, very exciting stuff!
First things first. As things currently stand all files fall under the “video” category within FlashDen. And then the files are all broken down by category. Now videos will be separated into sections, by file type, and then broken down into categories. Here are the new sections.
- Motion Graphics
- Stock Footage
- Project Files
Each of these sections will have their own category set, to help further describe the style of your file. No worries for all of you current authors. The edit tab on your files will allow for you to change the categories.
Next on to the new upload requirements. For the most part everything is the same, with some minor tweaks.
- Starting with the VideoHive launch, all preview videos must be uploaded in the FLV format.
- Preview videos will need to come in within a specified range of resolutions. The preview player is no longer limited to 320×240. Again, they will need to be in the FLV format. But now authors have the ability to display a larger preview video. More specific instructions will be provided at launch within the updated author instructions.
- For main files, we now require that your main file be provided as Quicktime MOV files only. Quicktime is generally a standard format in the video world, and getting all files and authors on the same page, will help the site progress to the next level.
Okay, that just about covers most of the big changes. There still are a few tricks up the sleeve, and you’re gonna have to wait to see. But trust me when I say VideoHive is going to great and I look forward to seeing everyone there!
