5 Tips for Setting Up A Video Site

1. Make sure your videos are entertaining and to the point. People may be willing to watch a video but they won’t wait 40 minutes for something that should take 4 minutes to share. If you find your videos are long feel free to cut them up, that way users can pick and choose only what they want to watch and save some time.


2. View your videos before uploading them. Make sure you take care of any audio oddities, typos or other mistakes before you upload and publish your content.


3. Publish often; try to keep your videos fresh. Depending on your content once a month could be fresh or every day.  If your content is a service or is largely informational and tends to be more complex users will be happy with a new video every couple of weeks to a month, if you have a highly social site you’ll need to try to keep content fresh as your target audience is used to daily updates!


4. When you set up your Bizideo Wizard account you can start uploading your content right away. To save time we suggest you add your videos to the upload list right away and then go about making your website.


5. Include social sharing tools! The Bizideo Wizard has several different social sharing tools already built in, making it as easy to add the ability to share content.

How to Make Your Videos Professional

1. Don’t have a third party logo/bug on your player. It looks unprofessional to have a YouTube logo on your player. If it’s your own logo that’s wonderful, but if you can’t do that at least leave your player clean.


2. Make sure your video is clean and free from messy transitions/botched special effects. The best way to do this is watch your video after making it. If you notice that an effect didn’t render correctly resave it and try again.


3. Keep an eye out for typos. Nothing is worse than a typo on a professional video, it happens to the best of us but as soon as you notice be sure to replace that video as soon as you can.


4. Match your player to your brand. You can customize your player to fit your site theme and really you should. It makes it look like it belongs there.


5. Keep your ads tasteful or don’t have ads at all. If you can’t control what appears before or after your video plays that should be something that causes concern. You want to make sure your customer’s complete experience matches your company morals/demographics.

Bizideo Video Wizard Uses Layers

Did You Know We Do Layers?

With the Bizideo Wizard, you can place Bizits on top or beneath of each other. This is called Layering. Designers and web developers are both familiar with this terminology, however recently a designer asked if we needed an image sent pre-sliced up to make a site and it dawned on us that some users might not realize that it’s much easier to build a template with layers in the Wizard rather than building sliced static pages for each new layout/content.

Layering allows you to create intricate designs and to utilize transparent items to their full potential. Under the “Bizits” tab located on the left hand menu, you will see a list of all your current Bizits. To change the order in which they appear just click and drag it either beneath or above another Bizit.

• To Drag and Drop: Just click on the Bizit and keep your finger pressed down on your mouse button, then drag your mouse and once you are happy with the position release the mouse button.

 

Image Filter Fun!

Image Filter Fun with the Bizideo Video Website Wizard

If you've played around with an Image Bizit (tool) recently, you may have noticed some new image filters are available for you to apply to your images. Haven't had a chance to play with it yet? Well, gosh-golly, fear not you are welcome to try the Wizard for FREE without registering.

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="Try it out yourself, add an image and use any filter under the filter columns on the top menu. If you want to revert it just click "None"."][/caption]

Bizideo Increases Uploads for Images and Videos!

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="320"] Standard Bizideo Wizard users not get more video and image uploads![/caption]

Image and Video Limits RAISED!

Not often you hear about suddenly getting more for your money but our CEO, Bill, is just that sort of guy. Bizideo now will allow you 100 image uploads and 10 video uploads with your Standard Wizard account. So what does that mean for you if you have already purchased your account? Simple we’re upping the limits meaning you’ll magically be getting double the video uploads. (I guess more database and less magic.)

Don’t fancy getting something extra? Well we can’t force you to use those extra uploads, but hey it would me a shame if they went to waste. ;)

Never heard of the Bizideo Website Wizard?

Our Wizard site builder was developed centered around Video and Media, rather than adding media as an afterthought. We are constantly looking to improve our Wizard and welcome feedback, we also like to hand out free trial accounts of our system so you can try it yourself, no strings attached. (You can also try it without registering.)

Version II of our Wizard was just released, and with it came more power and control. Like all technology it can be intimidating so we offer free Live Support Chat, Email Support and Virtual Training for more complicated assistance. We also offer a wealth of self help videos on our Support Center, for our users who rise with the moon, rather than the sun.

5 commonly unknown facts about Virtual Training at Bizideo

Virtual Training

We just wanted to remind you that Bizideo does offer virtual training, which includes good ol’ Q&A. If you don’t feel you need training but just have questions about abilities or possible virtual training can cover that as well.

Here are 5 commonly unknown facts about Virtual Training at Bizideo:

1. We love virtual training because we can share a screen and talk to you in live time, helping us help you even better!


2. Unless you abuse the support system virtual training won’t cost you a dime. Part of your initial account cost is to cover training.


3. We normally use GoToMeeting, but can also use Skype if that works better for you.


4. Your questions aren’t stupid. If you are asking it that means there was reason for you to ask and there is room for us to improve.


5. We often request a virtual training session when we can’t replicate bugs reported by users. Normally we find a security or add-on conflict that is unique to how you have your system set up. You agreeing to do a virtual meeting with us is a win – win, as we are able to help you and you are able to help us understand how something went wrong.

Normally virtual training is brief, and follows more of an introduction with time to do Q&A. We don’t use just a cookie cutter formula to deliver you training; we listen and gauge your skill and experience with the system. So advanced users won’t have to listen to us explain how to log in.

Bizideo Introduces Second Version of Patent-Pending Video Website Wizard Software and Website Building Tool

Enhanced software gives users automated control when building a custom video & mobile website.

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) February 17, 2012

Bizideo, The Video Website Company, has released version two of The Video Website Wizard, its powerful patent-pending software, that allows individuals to easily set up custom video websites for businesses. This version gives users total control of building video websites without having to know HTML, Java Script or other programming languages.

“The Video Website Wizard gives users precise fractional pixel control of design elements on the screen including graphics, pictures, text and video elements,” said Bill Pelton president and CEO of Bizideo. “It ties together multiple video viewers and playlists without the user having to write any complex codes to build the site, and enables users to build an effective video website easily.”

The Video Website Wizard joins Bizideo’s turnkey suite of video website products for small businesses and individuals. Features include:
•A simple “drag-and-drop” interface, creating the program code for the user in the background
•A completely web-based system that does not require extra software
•HTML5 compatibility and a video CMS tool enabling ecommerce, subscriptions, social media integration widgets, hi-tech plug ins, and more
•Complete mobile website integration with no need for outside applications like iMobi
•Pro-package systems for Pay Per View, Video Shopping Carts, Video on demand, and more

Bizideo also builds customized video solutions from scratch for basic video websites, online universities and alumni associations, video training, and more.

“The Bizideo system has opened up a whole new world for me,” said Jon Flor, a Bizideo customer who runs a boutique marketing firm. “In the past, putting together a website, especially one with video, was complicated and required me to hire outside programmers and IT personnel. With the Bizideo online video solution I can build complete website designs on the Bizideo wizard and the programming is done automatically.”

Please join Bizideo and 3rd Planet Media Group for a must see webinar for everyone using or thinking of using video on the internet. “If you’re using video on the internet and you’re not seeing a 500% increase in ROI, STOP!” When: Wednesday February 22nd from noon CST to 1:00.
