Please join us tomorrow for a free Reel SEO webinar on May 5th at11AM Pacific Time to learn about online video encoding for the web. If you're a producer wondering what you need to know about video compression, then this is the webinar for you. You will have a chance to ask questions about the various video formats, codecs, bit rates, containers, formats and more. You get tips on best encoding practices so your online videos look the best that they can. You'll hear about H.264 and watch how to simply and easily apply high quality H.264 encoding to your video.Our webinar moderator and host Mark Robertson just posted a similar reminder on Reel SEO and had this to say:
"You’ve likely been reading all the hype about Apple vs. Flash. With that hype, it appears that there is a good deal of confusion out there when it comes to video codecs, video formats, platforms, etc…. And, even though it is my belief that leading blogs shouldn’t write about things they don't understand, I completely understand the confusion (read my post -Video File Container Formats, Compression & Codecs – Oh My!)"
Register for this FREE webinarMark is spot on when he says that there is a great deal of confusion about codecs and formats. With all the Steve Jobs Flash bashing and talk of Google open sourcing VP8 for HTML5 video (one of the codecs it acquired from its purchase of video compression company On2) along with Microsoft getting behind H.264 and not open source video codec Theora – it's no wonder that people get all misconstrued. The news has been filled with posturing on all sides of the issue when it comes to a "standard" for web and mobile video. Dan Rayburn has been taking a lot of heat from his blog posts on the subject from rabid Apple fans who have threatened him with bodily harm, but his most recent post, H.264 Is A Codec, Flash Is A Platform: One Can't Kill Off The Other, really cuts through the misconceptions surrounding the area of video encoding.
I hope you'll join us tomorrow for this FREE webinar which will focus on some fundamental knowledge about video encoding, file containers, formats and profiles – and strategies for producing better web videos.
Our topics include:
- What is video compression?
- What is bit rate?
- Video codecs vs. container formats
- Shooting tips for web video
- Tools and resources for encoding
- How to create high quality H.264 encoding settings
