Now testing: Direct video uploads
Over the next few hours, we’ll be rolling out crazy simple native video uploading to all accounts. This is designed to be an easy alternative to full-blown video sites when all you want to do is post a quick video to your blog.
Just a few notes:
- You can upload up to 5 minutes of video every day. You can break this up across as many videos as you damn well please.
- Tumblr will immediately post most H.264-MP4-AAC videos without transcoding! That means no waiting and no quality loss. Photo Booth videos and iMovie’s “Export to iPod/iPhone” work great.
- If you’re looking to post longer videos, customize your player, or host HD videos, you’ll be much better off with a feature-rich video tool such as Vimeo.
Enjoy!
The United States of Movies Map
What movies best represent U.S. states?
Subtonix decided to create a map of the United States by pinpointing the movies which best represent each of the 50 states. For example, New Jersey is Clerks and Kansas is The Wizard of Oz. There will likely be some debate over some of these choices (is Fast Times at Ridgemont High the ultimate representation of California?) but it is an interesting concept none the less. It’s also interesting to note that more Coen Brothers films appear on the map than any other filmmaker.
Wow! Christopher Nolan just showed up on the red carpet in a giant egg!
There’s a class called ‘Oscars’ and I aced it…maybe I got a B+.
