Zimmer Twins Make Your Own Videos

The Zimmer Twins

We’ve seen a lot of media companies try to allow user generated content that both engaged and entertained its audience for hours on end. Now NBC’s Saturday morning kids’ block qubo is trying to do just that with their new animated property The Zimmer Twins.

What makes Zimmer Twins different is the huge amount of options children have when creating their own videos. It’s not a mere choose a couple of clips and see how they work together. It’s choose a clip, change the background, change the character, add some text, and ultimately create a story.

The user interface to create your videos is very easy to use. Within minutes you’ll be able to create, edit, and publish a video.

qubo actually looks at all the user-generated videos and will air the best of these on TV!

High Quality YouTube Videos

I know that phrase is something that millions of people want. YouTube destroys video quality. It loads fast, but damn it looks nasty when compared to newer video sites.

The co-founder Steve Chen announced at NewTeeVee Live conference that YouTube is working on and will be rolling out higher quality videos very soon. The higher quality videos will be treated as an experiment, allowing the user to choose the higher or lower quality format. The higher the quality, the longer the load times. So it’s definitely a let down for some people.Thankfully YouTube will scan your internet speed before it even allows you to make the selection. So if you’ve got a slow connection, don’t even think about watching high quality videos.

Expect high quality videos on YouTube within 3 months.
