Hey Ben, First of all, thanks!

That's the idea, anyway.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Blip adds Intros Outros
Yes, users control with sensible defaults sounds right. How about something like this: By default, the original file gets the prepend and append, and the flash file too, and those are the versions you make publicly available. Include an option to prepend-append to existing videos I uploaded earlier. The original file stays available too (at .../original/...), and make that available to the content creator, but not to the public, *unless* the content creator checks the for appended videos, make unappended unchanched version available to public checkbox. At any time, the content creator can switch prerolls/postrolls and re-do the append operations for 1 video or all videos. This way I can change my intro and attach it to all future videos, or to *all* videos. That'd be my personal preference.

Blip Projects would be descrete groups... like a pbwiki... or say this yahoo group... that can be public or private... or many stages inbetween. They could be used to collaborate... say... a vloggercon project for vloggers to upload raw footage to share publicly, organize and collaboratively edit. or what about offering some white label version of this to podtech or rocketboom and others with correspondents in the field.They got the correspondents go out in the field... covering CES, and macworld and they're to damn busy in the field to do any editing... they're not sleeping... they may be in bed... with each other even... but they're not sleeping... because it's CES... so they upload the footage to their Podtech CES Project on blip.tv so the podtech editors who are well rested can organize, grab source and edit together shows. But that's not it... no. not by a long shot... because... what if you were in a war zone and wanted to vlog... and you had limited resources, editing time, software, tech, and broadband say you had a blog and it was called Alive in Bagdad and you needed some collaborative space to upload and share raw footage with your co-conspirators state-side with their fancy macbooks, and their broadband and editing software.. But wait that's not it!? What if you were in the bush in africa... like literally in the bush... shooting all this amazing footage of wild dogs, and elephents and lions and rhinos!? Oh... wait, that's wildcast.net! It's not like you'd have a broadband connection in the bush, nor a mobile editing station... maybe you'd upload some raw clips via sat phone and blips intro outro tool would be GREAT for that! Slapping an intro... a title sequence and an outro on it, transocding it to flash an mp4 and posting it all to your vlog... at wildcast.net But also may you could also upload some raw footage, some audio clips, some voice over material and what not to Project Wildcast on blip.tv and your conspirators in London could mix together some superb shows. But wait... maybe you're on the road... maybe you're covering a presidential campaign with three other people... maybe that of John Edwards? You're not all on the road at the same time but you need to be able to collaborate with your compadres to share the load... maybe you need some place to upload raw footage for your conspirators to edit and post? And let's not forget the original idea either... the idea of just having simple intro's and outros. Maybe you've got a video cameraphone... maybe it's a Nokia n70, or a N93 or N95 and let's say you shoot some footage of someone getting tazered in a library in california... or maybe you're on vacation and a tsunami hits... I don't know... use your imagination... The point is you can just hit the old share this video button on your phone... and you send your footage off to blip... you key in a title... i just saw something that might change the world... and 30 minutes or an hour later there it is, a post on your vlog... titled... this might change the world and there's your clip... not in 3gp format as you shot it, but in a very shareable and viewable flash... and a nice mp4... So what if maybe this ONE video clip of some kid getting tazzered at a library might not actually change the world... yeah, probably not, but maybe... just maybe the aggregate... of thousands and thousands of people just like you... doing the same thing... civil servents of the camera... doing their civic duty... shining camera's into all the dark but also quite often wonderful corners of the world... and sharing those videos with the click of a button... not in realtime but web time... that sort of ubiquity, that instant access, press button simplicity to shoot and share something with potentially the entire world... maybe the aggregate of
