View and share videos
You are an amateur or just a random filmmaker, you managed to capture an amazing scene or cocassa, you can earn a lot with your images. Some videos are watched by millions of people and make a fortune by those who post them online. To publish, select a site from the list below, register and follow the instructions. The most commonly used sites are in bold.
You can also post a video on your site or easily create a site with a CMS to view the video, as indicated on this page.

This site was bought out by Google, which spent several years before achieving its payback through advertising, more or less intrusive depending on the publisher's choice. It has an HTML 5 interface, an alternative to flash, and considers 4K. All video categories can be found here, including full-length classic films.
Edit videos and post them on your website
Mozilla's online Popcorn tool, based on the popcorn.js framework, helps edit videos whether you made them yourself or made them on a sharing site (if licensed). For example, you can add text or images.
To add a video to its site, use the embed or object tags. Youtube provides code with its videos, and it uses both at the same time.
Sample Youtube code:
<object width="425" height="350"> <param value="https://www.youtube.com/v/asPLVNqEmyo" name="movie" /> <param value="transparent" name="wmode" /> <embed width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/asPLVNqEmyo"> </embed> </object>
Sample code for Collegehumor:
<embed src="http://www.collegehumor.com/moogaloop/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1767784" quality="best" width="400" height="300" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> </embed>
JavaScript code is always the same, only the number is video specific. Therefore, the number can be retrieved from the sharing site and used with the code as an example.
Using the Youtube API, you can customize the display and even associate it with the search function so that it selects the video to play itself, depending on the content of the article. See this article about the simplified version of automatic video selection on Youtube.
Among the many video editing programs are:
- Kate Video Toolkit, which loads even if you don't register and like on demand,
- Windows Movie Maker for WMV format (h264 encapsulated in a Windows container),
- Avidemux, full of bugs, but giving interesting results in all formats when working.
If you install these or other category programs, you must deselect the default configuration in which toolbars and other unwanted programs are installed.
