You Tube Adds Annotation to Videos
Well not quite an add but that was done in July, but they are making it allot easier though. Starting yesterday YouTube is making it even easier to add text comments into your video. You used to have to use a crazy editor to add comments to your video now you can just click on a spot in the video during playback and the editor will open. You can also add link goodness to other parts of the video. Thus making the need to use systems like viddler less and less.
The official press release from the YouTube blog.
“Today, we are making it easier to add annotations directly to your YouTube videos. Simply login to YouTube, watch your video on the watch page and click on the video to start adding annotations. But don’t worry – for those who need more control, you’ll still be able to access the separate annotations editor.
We are also making it easier for your annotations to link to a variety of different YouTube pages. You’ll be able to link to another video, channel page, playlist, group or search query. What’s more, you’ll even be able to link to a video response page or message window to prompt for feedback from your audience.”
