Flickr has added video to the ever-popular photo sharing site, albeit with some initial limitations. The videos that are uploaded can be a maximum of 90 seconds and must be 150MB in size or smaller. Videos are also limited to be uploaded only by Pro users, but can be viewed by anyone, as long as the video is marked public, they can also be uploaded and marked as private.
Overall Flickr is taking an approach that leaves little difference between the existing photos and new videos, in fact they were noted as being called “long photos.” Which makes sense because the videos are side by side with your photos and while the videos do have their limitations, once you get used to them they seem to be a really nice addition.
Similar to your Flickr photos, uploaded video’s can be tagged, geo-tagged and have options to be marked as All Rights Reserved or Creative Commons. The video’s can be viewed individually, within sets, and also embedded on other websites or blogs. They can also be uploaded from the Flickr website or directly from a camera phone.
Overall it seems the only major difference between the video and still images is the obvious fact that the videos move.
