Cool video, but what was the purpose of exporting it to YouTube? I don’t mean that rhetorically, it’s an honest question. Animoto gives you embed code right on their site. All that pushing it to YouTube will do is hurt the quality a little bit (any recompression is bad for the quality of a video).

Just curious.

Happy Birthday Mike, though you suck occasionally with the display of all the big ego, overall none can question your hardwork or perseverance in making TC such a huge success. In some ways you are a role model too. Btw, how old are you
