Following on from our explanation of the video jargon - "Render", here's another word we use alot. Queue. Or in queue.“Queue”It takes time for computer software to recognise all the composite parts of the video (sound, voice, graphics, footage, transitions etc) so each video sits in ‘queue’ waiting to render. We make sure every video element is queued. Then review the video software timeline to

You won’t be surprised to know that creating effective B2B video content takes time. It isn’t a quick process to shoot, edit and upload video to the web. And when it comes to online video several issues still exist. Search engines find it difficult to index the content of video. And your target audience can’t always watch video at work because of firewalls and dodgy software. Help is at hand.

So where can these applications be useful? Obviously

Here's a free secret to great video in your social media campaign: Content. Content. Content.Only good content gets shared, which is what the social media network is all about, whether you're a business or an individual.So what's 'good content' I hear you ask.
