Good evening everyone!
Great to be back home and to be getting back into some blogging here on good old Hive. How are you all, what have you been up to?
I recently learned about the latest updates introduced by Ecency. One of these enhancements includes the option to directly upload videos into your posts by utilising 3speak on the backend. This is something I have been eagerly anticipating (hoping for to be honest) and now we have the opportunity to try it, which is utterly brilliant! Well done Ecency!
I attempted to upload a new video, and it was successfully uploaded. However, the encoding progress is currently stuck at 99.8%.
So in the meantime, using the video gallery feature, I've added an older existing video to the post instead which has worked ok, though I can't preview the video other than look at it's thumbnail with the play icon overlay. I think it would be great to be able to check the video in-situ if possible.
This video demonstrated how to use the Beat Slicer tool in Logic Pro, which is very cool indeed.
Ah!! There it is! Encoded fine :-)
Wrong thumbnail for it but this is one I may not have published here before, I can't remember. I love the ability to view the gallery of videos and how you can insert them so easily.
I am very excited for this feature, very, very excited in fact because it means I can now do something in Hive that I previously could only do on Substack, where I run a newsletter called Modulations which I would prefer to bring across to Hive fully; that is the ability to embed videos in your content, wherever you want them to go.
A couple of things I can use this for:
So here are three more videos from the past, that you may or may not have seen!
I'll leave it at that for now. I'll be back soon with more of the following:
