New Features!

A lot of exciting new features and updates have been coming out of the Magnify development shop these days. Some of you might have come across a few already, but make sure to read the list below to get the full breakdown. And while we’re happy to take credit for great new features and fixes, the majority came by way of suggestions and feedback from users like you. So keep on sending in those ideas and posting in the forums. We are listening.

Mobile Upload goes live. This is ridiculously cool. You can now send videos from your phone to a Magnify channel. It is easy to do and is a great way to finally show the world some of those videos of your dog pulling you on a skateboard.

Publishing Page Re-Design.  If you’ve uploaded a video recently, you might have noticed the slick new design. It is simple, nice to use and compatible with Flash 10. Go upload something and check it out.

Channel Marketplace. Tired of looking for change in your couch? Ever wonder what your Magnify channel might be worth in the open market? You can now put your channel up for sale using The Magnify Marketplace. Name the price and see if anyone comes knocking.

Upload a Video Watermark. This is a great way to customize your channel and place your mark on the video world. The feature is available as a Pro option and allows you to stick your logo on all videos delivered by magnify on your channel.

If you are NOT a Magnify Pro Customer:

…. and then go to “upgrade to pro” to check it out

Friendly URLs for playlists. Playlist URLs now have a name (not just a number). When you link to a playlist or send a playlist, you will now see the name of the playlist in the URL. We found this to be more user friendly and can help with SEO (search engine optimization).

That’s it for now, but stayed tuned for more in the near future. (We like making new stuff).
