Instructional Video Blog

Finally by trial and error I got the first video up on my blog here ( see below). Well it is not my video but one that I found on You Tube. And I choosed one video that was related to one of my actual concern and interest for the time being. So I do not know the author of this video but is displayed and presented very well as what I think is the same software as Eric Holmlund and Michael Nicholas recent project now offers january 2008 with resell rights included. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Have you tried this Affiliate Video Brander Tool? 

Is it a good tool?

I would personally have a picture of the software and some screenshots over the functions in their salesletter.

Looking around a bit I can find a lady ( longterm consumer and now also a marketer), for instance, who is questioning the value of this software and means that you can get this or a similar software much cheaper…..namely Cam Studio Pro.

So I looked further and actually never found one active link for Cam Studio Pro. Later on, however, I found it as a part of Daves Online Videos but his contact-link is not in function for to ask if this software is included in the membership offered or you have to buy it separately. Going further I so found Cam Studio Capture instead. In some places I could find it for a smaller cost with the motivating it is a lot cheaper than Camtasia Studio ( see some posts below for it’s main features and usability). But for what quality? At some other places you can find this tool free. So I downloaded the small piece of freeware for to get a picture of what this is all about and only for to find that it is explained in german which I do not spoke. No tutorial and no support provided but you can find a smaller FAQ in english. It is an amazing and very good software development, however, I guess I cannot find out how to use the basics anyhow and will probably let it be there.

Web Video Wizard is one of ABV’s bonus products included and another software tool related for multi media management.

Postnote:

Regarding Daves Online Videos I went back to that site and their support department has been updated so now it is available again with added and new information for the individual. And I found it, the Cam Studio Pro is not included in their membership, however, Dave shows how to use it in one of his videos and if you like you can buy it from him for the same amount as everywhere else ( some dollars and not much). 

For the Affiliate Video Brander ( AVB) you can see how this software works in the video provided below and further exploration shows me that I might consider Camtasia instead. The AVB software, however, shall on the other side have been updated as of today with add-your-own-optin-possibilities both on the top and on the bottom of the video and some other delicate extras. Their support has been very good and has provided more information of relevance and in question except for one vital thing. The only thing now that remains to discover ( besides some smaller questions from a video found from a man who struggles with the functionality, temporary or not, but his branded video never went to the url intended when the video has finished to play and his links was placed way too far below the video itself) is in regards to the format of the end product and which possibilities there is for to be able to put up those branded videos to a website or blog. More reflections is to be found around AVB’s functionality and usability at ‘Recovery for Frustrated Internet Marketers’. This remains to digg over before I make a decision.

So he is out and on the go again…..

Mike Filsaime and his team has explored the internet marketing segment and now found that they can provide a video display service to people on the net.

They offer video management for easy implements onto your own website or blog.

With clear and consice presentation will they guide you to see how easy you can integrate your own videos to your own websites.

The costs involved is based on a monthly fee related to your bandwidth used and package choosen and they offers you the first month for one dollar only to test their service out.

Personally this is not for me as I only want a service that can add my own hosted video url and create a code out of that. However, it may very well be useful and beneficial for many people who can upload their own videos and from there get a code to place on their websites.

New Video Pro features a service that can help you to convert any file to Flash automatically amongst other beneficial resources.

You can check out the site at NewVideoPro.com
