Check out the videOlive Demo!
We have set up a basic installation of the videOlive video sharing script that you can review to get a better idea of how it performs.Click here to launch it!
videOlive has many features that allow for a better sharing experience, as well as more options to get your site noticed. For example, did you know about:
Fading thumbnail previews let your visitors get a better idea of the content of the videos they are browsing. How many times have you seen videos badly represented by a thumbnail that was captured at the wrong moment? That will never be a problem again. The thumbnail fader cycles continuously through several images to give users a chance to see what the video really is about.
Ever wondered how to get more viewers for your videos? Video sitemaps offers a unique opportunity to have all of your videos indexed by Google Video. Millions of users browse for videos through Google Video every day, providing for an excellent opportunity to drive traffic into your website. Don't rely only on search engines, for a video sharing site you need video search engines!
Share videos with YouTube. videOlive will automatically upload featured videos to a YouTube account. This will maximize exposure of your best videos and can lead to a very large amount of incoming traffic.
And what's more, we are hard at work developing new features for future versions to be released often — remember, you will have access to all software updates as part of your support package.
