Thanks Jorge, even with our initial viral following we are still in our infancy. So if any of you FS fans can continue to spread the word the better this site will grow. Sharing fstoppers.com will only make it better, and feel free to tweet us cool videos you’ve come across too so other can see helpful/fun videos too

I Just wanted to congratulate you! You’ve got a great idea and you executed it really nicely, the webpage is great and i’ve been visiting it almost every day since you guys started. It made me want to try and make a behind-the-scenes video myself! I’ll give it a try! But most important, very good job!!

Have you looked into ExposureRoom? Its totally free, no limits to file size, no limits to amount of videos you can upload, it has a slick-looking video player, and the video quality and smoothness is equal if not better than Vimeo. Try hosting some videos on that site.

What a problem to have though! The suggestions on the youtube addresses is great. I really have had no issues recently with their streaming. Linking to VIMEO is great but I don’t think that the quality of the site will suffer at all going with YouTube more.

I knew this would be something special the moment I saw it. Great design to the site as well as video quality. I like your idea of linking the vimeo video rather than hosting it on the site, as to not create too many “hits” on the vimeo account.

In the future the paypal donate is a good idea or just accept advertising. You can keep it industry related as to not make it too commercialized. I know many photographers who would pay.

Third, to generate a continual stream, start a community forum. I would be here pretty much daily.

Some tricks that might be helpful on embedding youtube videos.

2. Embed Higher Quality Videos
While the above trick works for playback, if however you want to embed hig quality videos you need to append “&ap=%2526fmt%3D18″ and “&ap=%2526fmt%3D22″ to the embed url.

4. Hide the search box
The search box appears when you hover over an embedded video. To hide the search box add ‘&showsearch=0′ to the embed url.

8. Disable Related Videos
Publishing your content in the form of Youtube video? Don’t want people to see other people’s content that may be related but may as well be in competition to you? Just add ‘&rel=0′ to the end of the url part of the embed code and you just turned off the related video suggestions!
