If we’re doing videos, we’re doing videos properly. Self-hosted, cookie-free, bullshit-free, ad-free. And we can do sound. We can narrate. We can avoid background music drivel.

Wonderful!

Re: Textpattern's face to the public

When hosted locally you can also control video quality, and not settle for Google slop. Handbrake does an excellent job…

Video has its charm, but is a pain to prepare and composite.

An easy alternative is Shifty (which took longer to gather thoughtless screen grabs than it did to code).

Feed it more images, get more variety. Change the size of images, get ‘zoomed-in’ and ‘zoomed-out’ mixed together (they are currently all smallish in size).

Rest assured, Señor giz, there will be no slop – Google or otherwise!
