Show some love with Stupeflix Valentine’s video greetings

SAN FRANCISCO, February 9th, 2010 – How to move your loved one with a simple yet meaningful gesture? Take pictures and video clips from the best memories of the past year and create a beautiful, romantic video filled with emotion on the Stupeflix Studio.

Use your pictures to tell your love story
The Stupeflix Studio, a newly released online application to easily create videos from your digital memories, is offering today a Valentine video theme to share heartfelt sentiments. “My hard drive is filled with beautiful personal pictures which never see the light of day”, says Sebastien Perier, creator of the Valentine theme. “I want people to use theirs to craft a personal message of love.”

Create, inspire, impress
The Studio puts you in control to easily tell your digital story in video in a few minutes. Upload pictures and videos from your hard drive, Flickr, or Picasa account. Arrange them, group them, add texts and soundtracks. Preview until you are happy with the result. You can then publish, download, or upload to Facebook or YouTube your video masterpiece. Free videos are limited to one minute, while full-length High Quality versions cost $3 and High Definition versions (720p) cost $5.

Save on paper, not on emotions
Email greetings cards lack sentiment. Paper greeting cards quickly end up in the bin. A Stupeflix Valentine’s video delivers a handcrafted, heartwarming message which will be kept and cherished for years to come.

Share on Facebook, Upload to YouTube: Make your Videos Reach and Impress

Facebook YouTube upload

We make videos for a purpose. We make videos because we have stories to tell, memories to share.

After carefully choosing the pictures and videos to include in your Studio project, arranging them, grouping them, adding captions, messages, subtitles, a soundtrack maybe, after you’ve finally exported your work into a finalized video, you’re not going to just leave it there are you?
You are probably going to download it, and either send it to friends or publish it somewhere.

With the Studio you’ve been able to do all this, but really what most of us want to do is either post it on our Facebook profile, or upload it on YouTube for the whole world to be able to watch it. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could do that right after creating the video, without having to download, then upload the video again?

No need to wait, because we’ve already made it happen.

When exporting your video, whether it’s with a Free, High Quality or High Definition format, you have two free options to do just that: Share it on Facebook, and/or Upload to YouTube. Sign in to your Facebook and/or YouTube account right there, and we’ll upload it automatically for you.

Happy Sharing!

New feature: Dailymotion upload from the Stupeflix API

dailymotion-logo-june08

The Stupeflix API is a unique tool for developers to create massive amounts of videos upon fully customized templates.

An eCommerce site catalog can be transformed into as many videos as there are products. A classifieds website can add to each listing a video based on the listings information. Real-time information can be rendered into a customized video report.

The Stupeflix API takes as input a XML video description file and outputs a video rendered in the desired resolution and encoded with the chosen codec. But where does the video content go from there?

Today, a new option is available to our API users, and we are happy to announce that videos created with the Stupeflix API can now be directly uploaded to a Dailymotion account.

In addition to the new Dailymotion upload feature, current available options include uploading to a YouTube account, an Amazon S3 account, and via http. Practical information about how to implement these options is available with the Stupeflix SDK.

Is there another online video platform you would like to be able to upload your videos to?

Mix Videos in your Videos

Using  pictures to create stunning videos is really powerful, but what about mixing in videos as well? Now you can do exactly that with the Editor and upload videos from your computer to insert them in your movie, just like you would add a still picture. This feature opens up a world of new possibilities, as you can now use Stupeflix to add subtitles, soundtracks, to mix videos together, or for any video processing task!
