Demo Girl released last week an excellent screencast showing in four minutes how to use the Stupeflix Studio to create custom videos.
The screencast is a great, straightforward tutorial, and we wanted to share it with you. Check it out below!
Thanks Molly, keep on the good work!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Can’t keep up with Twitter?
Relax and watch it all live on Stupeflix.TV
SAN FRANCISCO, September 21st, 2009 – Wondering what’s happening at an event right now? What your next destination looks like? What people are saying about you? Sure you could scour Twitter updates and battle your way through hundreds of web pages hoping for relevant information. Or you can just watch it live on your Stupeflix.TV personal channel!
Today Stupeflix announces the public release of Stupeflix.TV, a web television service showing exactly what you want to see as it is happening. To create a Stupeflix.TV channel, enter what you want to see – e.g. “World Cup 2010” – and click play to instantly watch a short video displaying the last pictures posted on Flickr and the latest Twitter updates matching the channel.
Monitoring is boring
Nobody can watch Twitter 24 hours a day. The real-time web can be frustrating as you are constantly missing information which matters to you. Etienne Albert, creator of Stupeflix.TV explains: “The first thing I was doing each time I opened my Twitter account was spending 20 minutes scrolling down looking for something interesting I may have missed. I wanted to make this easier and more fun!”
Sit back and enjoy the show!
From the Hudson River water landing to Iran’s last elections, Twitter and Flickr have proven to be powerful ways to follow the unraveling of current events. Stupeflix.TV renders this information in a convenient TV format, allowing you to follow events, or anything else, by watching live reactions from people involved.
Stupeflix.TV is brought to you by Stupeflix
Stupeflix.TV is one of the infinite possibilities of video applications which can be built upon the Stupeflix video generation engine, accessible to third-party developers through an open API. The video generation is so fast that “In fact we could broadcast 24/7 a video stream on regular TV based on live real-time web content”, reveals Francois Lagunas, Stupeflix CTO.

So enjoy the Studio, and please let us know how it works out for you.
Be aware: this is the first post in a stream of new features announcements for the Stupeflix Editor. We have been working hard this summer to make online video creation more powerful and convenient than ever. Today we’ll start with what’s most immediately visible: a new user interface for the Stupeflix Editor.
Remember how you used to add images and videos to your video project? Let me refresh your memory: you were using a small menu in the bottom-left corner of the page (see below). In order to add text captions and soundtracks, the (only) way to go was to click on the “+” icon on the corresponding image, video or group.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to higher feng shui, interface-ly speaking. The Stupeflix Editor today comes with a very visible, accessible set of clickable icons on the bottom-right corner of the page, to add media content (images and videos), text captions, soundtracks, to edit your project in the XML editor for further customization and to generate your video (that’s what you came here to do after all).
It’s all here. And even better, the actions triggered by these buttons are contextual, meaning they apply to whatever object (image, video, group) you are currently selecting. It does what you want to do, where you want to do it. We’re pretty happy about it, what do you think?
We would like to thank our users for all their useful and valuable feedback which drives our efforts towards the best video creation application on the web. Keep it coming!
