Hello,
With the new forum software one of our goals was to develop the forum further than the previous incarnation. So with that, we now have fully embedded video sharing at Polycount. Sites likeYouTube, Google Video, Amazon, mySpace, etc. should all be working.
It's purpose is to help show examples of things when looking for help, offering help, or finding anything great that is related to the craft we all share. Not to mention make the
Thread of Awesomeness™ even
awesomer. Of course, there's some rules to this new feature, you can see them at the bottom of this post.

If this new feature is abused, and single posts start popping up to show an off-topic video, the post will either be moved or deleted. If it continues we'll just disable the add-on for good. We do, however, encourage the use of this for showing tutorials, artwork, and so on.

I will also be deleting posts and giving infractions to people who post unacceptable content or spam stupid videos in other people's threads using this. I am sure everyone here is mature enough to use it sensibly.
To use the tool: Just paste the videos URL here and the tools will do the rest. So if its a video on YouTube, you'd post the YouTube URL.
NOTE: You will -NOT- see the video in the previews of your post if you choose to view one.

Time to start my animation reel wip thread I think
To use QuickTime movies: You must post the direct .mov URL and it must fit within a 640x480 window otherwise it'll be cropped and the controls will likely be out of frame.
/me sits up straight, eyes forward.
That's gonna come in *real* handy when the 'cuda is done and I wanna share some vids of it.
Does this really work? I'll post this legendary rap battle that takes quite a turn around 2:05.

Controls sometimes show sometimes dont. Also looping clips dont loop, which is a shame its whole reason ive bothered uploading quicktime
Basically, a Quicktime video starts up, Quicktime detects a new version, the popup takes a big shit on Firefox. Sucks, and I don't know a fix.
