There’s no apparent way to automatically exclude video from groups. Thanks.

I found this video kind of difficult to follow and rather amateurish. The message does not get through.
One does not have to use the video on flickr. Those who do not like the idea, do not have to, and those that do, can.
I personally will be loath to use it.

I can`t see why people are getting mad for an added value . To me the video in Flickr is just another one of the web site`s features.

Its great, every time they try to think about something “innovative” to better the user experience they come up with “Let’s add video…”. The internet is dead.

Protesting Flickr? Don’t people have anything better to do? Like make comments on techcrunch or something……

I have no problem with Flickr adding video, I think it is a pretty good feature to have. But, I’m also not ecstatic about it like some people were, it is a good feature but it isn’t crazy good.

I spent part of yesterday watching videos on Flickr, and the crap-to-interesting ratio was no worse than it is for photos on the site. In fact, it’s probably better, because uploading a video takes considerably more time than uploading a photo.

I saw several clever, fun videos that I never would have found on unwieldy YouTube. Short videos are a great addition to Flickr. The change even inspired me to create and post my first little movie, an epic starring my heavily breathing dog.

By the way, TechCrunch, your poll results show that more people support video than don’t support it, yet the bar graph has a longer bar for the “no” voters.

Most of people saying that video is bad seem to think that Flickr is trying to become a youtube competitor. No offense to these people, but holy shit you are stupid.

The point of video on Flickr is that every digital camera can also take video. I dont have a camera right now but when I did, if I was in picture taking mode, it wasn’t that uncommon to also take a small video or two of something happening at the same scene. These videos are part of the film roll, and it makes sense to be able to upload them along with the photos from the same trip/place/etc, because they fit right in.

THAT is the point. It is NOT to become another Youtube – the restrictions on file size and 90 second time limit are obviously there to help make that NOT happen.

This whole thing is just ridiculous and people wouldn’t be so up in arms if they took 5 seconds to think about why Flickr is doing this.

Video is the next big thing. We cannot continue with static images, and if they been able to be so good at providing a service for images, they will do the same with video. I’m 100% supporting them.

Good for me. As a pro user, I would like to get as much benefits as I can.
Now I don’t have to deal with uploading videos on youtube. Flickr does it all.
All those who are cribbing, are hard core still photographers who don’t like filming videos and sharing them.

Several comments have been along the lines of “If you don’t like it, don’t use it.” However, this misses the point – there is no real opt-out.

There’s no obvious way to search for photos, excluding videos. If there’s a way to exclude videos from RSS feeds, I sure can’t find it. There’s no apparent way to automatically exclude video from groups. There’s no API update that provides the ability to turn videos off.

Yahoo alienated a lot of their users with this move – the fact that they didn’t include a way to turn it off is a big oversight.

#39, I think this isn’t correct. They’ve been promising video for well over a year now, and they finally got it done.
As a longtime Flickr user with nearly 7000 photos, I’ve always wanted to have a place where I can share the short video clips I take with my digital camera alongside my photos. When I go to a family party and take a bunch of pictures of my niece, for example, I usually take a few short movies, with the same camera, each about a minute long. For me, the new video sharing is perfect, because I can put these short videos in with the sets that they belong with. Previously I would have had to upload them to You Tube, but they don’t make much sense separated from the pictures they were taken with.
And I like the idea they came up with, to not compete with You Tube but instead to have people think of the videos as “long” pictures.
Great feature, well implemented.

Why do companies like these feel that they have to do everything. What ever happened to doing 1 thing and doing it well. That’s the boat I always felt Flickr was in…. photos…. they do this well and should keep on building the company on this stable medium which has been around for over a hundred years.

What they should do is provide more hooks into other video services without trying to stake their own share in the very diluted pool of video posting sites.

Flickr’s brand is photos… they should stick with it.

Question is how long until they integrate some video editing tools along the lines of Picnik for photos?

I’ve seen numerous people say videos and photos don’t belong together and that “videos on a photo site is weird”. Thats pretty funny because last I checked most non-DSLR cameras include both photo AND video capabilities. Most newer camcorders include both video AND photo capabilities. Photos and video go together.

When you travel you probably take photos… and video.

When your son has a birthday party you probably take photos… and video.

It makes sense to put them together and Flickr has done a fantastic job of integrating video in a way that isn’t obnoxious. They don’t look out of place, they look just like the photos do only with a little play button icon. They did a great job with how unobtrusive the videos are.

Anyone whining is just complaining for the sake of complaining.

Things change people, get over it.

I’m extremely happy that I can now share my travel and home videos with my family and friends side by side with the photos from the same trips and events. For me it is perfect. Before I only shared photos because I didn’t want to use YouTube or some other video sharing site, frankly it is hard enough getting my parents to remember how to get to my Flickr site.. let along some other site for videos.

Now I just need them to increase the file size and length limitations…

The “No Video on flickr” movement is not (well, not entirely) a bunch of Luddites whining about moving pictures. The flickr corporate strategy is a desperate short-term attempt by Yahoo to add value before an impending corporate take-over.

Adding video to flickr is a horrible move for the brand, for the long-term health of flickr, and for the user community. flickr management is diluting the brand identity, introducing “New Coke” at the expense of “Classic Coke.” This wil not help the Tahoo bargaining position, and even foolishly endangers Yahoo employee stock options.

Nothing keeps flickr from introducing a separate video service except the desire to exploit the user numbers for short-term gain in the corporate wars.

flickr community members have a strong interest in a strong flickr brand identity. This move weakens it.
