I created a short video for Flickr now that they decided to add Flickr video service. They limit clips to only 90 seconds, but I think it’s a great idea so they don’t stray away from what makes them a great photo sharing community. This clip is from my Chuang Yen Monastery trip showing the view while walking towards the temple. This was taken with the North American Nokia N95 8GB (N95-4).

Easier than Ovi

What I also like about Flickr video is the option of resizing the embed code. Unlike other video services like Youtube and Ovi, you can change the width in the Flickr code then the height will be automatically updated. For example, Ovi’s embed code defaults its width to 512 pixels. Not all blogs can fit that width. Of course, bloggers can do some proportion math calculation to change the code to fit their blogs, but that’s too many steps more than what Flickr video currently offers.
