11/2/15 - Blogspot Video Test

Another test before I get back to my normal posts.  This time it's all about video, which (if it works) will broaden the scope of my blog to include daily practice of editing, visual effects, complex animations, animatics, etc. (as opposed to just simple gif loops)

Blogspot Video:

YouTube Embed (same video as above):

Blogspot Video (for Audio) #1:

Blogspot Video (for Audio) #2:

Attempted to crop the video to a very thin horizontal size to give it more of an audio track feel, rather than video.

(DIDN'T WORK)


FINAL RESULTS:

AUDIO: (YOUTUBE EMBED) I don't think I'm a fan of Blogspot's own video system (it doesn't have a progress bar while uploading, and my internet is slow, so it's kind of a pain to work with), but it does work.  Although, I'm thinking that just uploading everything to YouTube will be the easiest for me.  Also, that would link it to my various YouTube channels (at least to more knowledgeable users), which is definitely a plus.  I'll probably upgrade to SoundCloud in the future though, cause that was my favorite for an audio experience (but it costs money, so yeah).

VIDEO: (YOUTUBE EMBED) As mentioned before, Blogspot's own video upload system was kind of a pain to work with.  For today's test I compressed the video down to 10 MB, and that took FOREVER to upload, with no indicator that it was even working or not.  It did work in the end, but YouTube will be a much easier system for me to work with.

Anyway, I guess that means I'll be able to do more with this blog!  :D
