YouTube Eliminates the 15 Minute Video Limit (for some)

I'm definitely a fan of "shorter is better" when it comes to video. However, sometimes you do need more time. Earlier this year YouTube raised the limit from 10 minutes per video to 15 minutes per video. Now it seems that at least for some accounts they've done away with the time limit all together. There is still a 2GB limit per uploaded movie, but your movie doesn't seem to have a time limit. One user uploaded a 4 hour looping clip just to test it and it worked. 

 

Another nail in the DVD coffin

Before you get your feathers ruffled, I'm not saying that DVD is dead. I certainly realize that some users still have a need to produce and distribute video DVDs. Not everyone has broadband and DVDs offer a way to watch videos OFFLINE. However, the trend is definitely moving away from optical media as a distribution format. Blu-rays and DVDs will be around for a while, but this move by YouTube certainly makes it MUCH EASIER to distribute your flick to friends and family around the globe without burning a single disc. Keep in mind that YouTube also allows you to share clips privately as well as "unlisted". 

 

A gift

I've shared these videos before via my Creative Suite Podcast. However, now that YouTube has virtually eliminated the time limit on my account (I think someone hit the wall at 4 hours), I can share them with you for the first time via YouTube. These are my complete walkthroughs of Adobe Photoshop CS5, InDesign CS5, Illustrator CS5 and Flash Catalyst CS5 in HD. Enjoy!

One Month Later and Over 500,000 Views!

It was exactly one month ago today that I officially launched my YouTube channel and I've been both amazed and a bit overwhelmed by the success. In less than a month's time I've seen over 500,000 views of my videos, over 1,400 subscribers and literally hundreds of comments. All I can say is THANK YOU!

 

How about a NEW Channel?

I currently work with two other full-time Adobe Creative Suite Evangelists (Jason Levine and Greg Rewis) and I'm happy to announce our NEW……wait for it……. YouTube Channel. It's cleverly named: Adobe Evangelist TV. Although we each have a presence on our blogs, twitter and Adobe TV, social media is about being EVERYWHERE and there's no denying the huge YouTube base. So look for regular videos  and tutorials on the Adobe Creative Suite there.
