My Top Video Hosting Sites

For those who are interested in the gear. I shoot with a Canon XH A1 High Definition Video Camera. I edit with Final Cut Express from Apple. I’m very new to Final Cut Express and I have a lot to learn. The problem is finding the time to sit down and learn the program. It will take time. I edit on a MacBookPro 17″.

 I use internet video hosting sites that are “free” to host my videos. Me and Free get along very well. One of my favorite video hosting site is Vimeo. The reason I like Vimeo is that this site will allow you to upload very large files of high-definition videos. Video files are very large and high definition files are even larger. It takes a lot of bandwidth to play these videos on the internet.

I have recently found a new video hosting site that I like very much. If you enjoy watching or shooting video, may want to check this site out. It’s call Exposure Room. Exposureroom.com. I’ve uploaded a few videos to this site and the quality is outstanding. Membership is free. Remember what I said about free? It only took about 1 minute to set up my account. I was uploading a video in just a couple of minutes. You can check out my page on Exposure Room here. I love the fact that you can also upload your photos. I take a lot of high-def photos with my Canon XH A1 and this site allows viewers to view the photos in high definition. If you are into photography, you should put your photos on display on Exposure Room. A very cool feature is that you can embed your photos from ER to your own web site. See my example below of one of my photos embedded here on the Brunswick Broker. Click the photo to go to my photo page and click the large version. The quality is stunning.

There is a lot of talent on Exposure Room. I have enjoyed the work of Steven Dempsey for many months now. Steven is a very talented videographer/cinematographer. He specializes in nature videos and is well respected in the industry. You owe it to yourself to check out his videos. You can view Steven’s video page here. Below is a video from Steven Dempsey that I especially like. It’s called Snoqualmie. I hope you enjoy it and be sure to check out his page for more of his work. Click the link below his video to view it in a much larger high-definition format.

If you attempt to watch a video and get a window asking you to update your Adobe Flash Player, it’s ok and it’s safe. You need the updated player to view the videos.
