Viddler

As we’re slowly putting together our new developers site we are continously updating the documentation, articles, and projects that are on the site. 

Today we’ve just launched a new article How to: Encode High Quality Video for Viddler. We’ve had this article requested from us several times and we’re happy to finally offer it. Nothing too special in the article itself, really, no rocket science – however it is nice to have an easy to read reference on how to get the best out of your Viddler videos.

If you have any questions or would like to have something appended to the article, or would like to request a new article, please feel free to leave a comment.

Watch for falling rocks!  We’re sort of live updating the Viddler’s Developer site.

We’ve got a new template designed by Viddler’s Lead Designer Andrew Smith which will facilitate our needs not only for the Developer site but also for a few other sub-level domains we’ll be launching in the next few weeks.  Andrew provided me with a style guide of sorts and so now I’m put to the task of getting both WordPress and MediaWiki, the two applications we use to pull off this site, to bend to my will.

Everything should work ok, but will look a little wonky while I’m updating. If you have any concerns, let me know.

In an effort to make developing on Viddler’s platform as easy as possible, we’ve moved the lab from lab.viddler.com to developers.viddler.com.  Everything should be forwarded now and we’ll be now setting up shop here.  The wiki is still available, but we’re going to be adding a whole new interface to our Developers area over the next few weeks.

Please stay tuned!

We’re just setting things up here, but in case you’ve happened on our new toy, we want you to know what it is about.

In short: The Viddler Lab Blog will be reporting on developments on the Viddler video platform and with our developer network.  We’ll be actively looking for creative 3rd party developers, platform partners, and beta testers.

If you’re interested in being a beta tester, comment with your Viddler username in the comments!
