This is great news for us (and many of you). We’ve just released one of our most exciting updates of our blogbook software. The new version now comes with video support.
Video support was one of the most requested features and we have to admit it took us a bit too long to get it ready. But hey, video is tricky in a book, right? We’ve been experimenting with all sorts of ways to do this right.
- Insert QR codes that link a scanning phone straight to the video
- Generate filmstrips with little frames spread through the video
- Make a collage
- Simply leave them out (ok, no option, we know)
Well, in the end, we opted for something rather simple: We’re just printing the preview frame that appears while the video has not started. While that’s not super sophisticated in the end, it sticks closely to how your blog looks when you read a post with an embedded video. So it felt natural to us.
Right now, we support the two major platforms Youtube and Vimeo. And because we know that some of you love the funny Xtranormal videos, we’ve done those as well.
Please let us know how this is working for you – and if you would like to see another platform supported.

I am so excited to discover this site! It is what I have been waiting for! The BIGGEST reason I am excited is the video-to-screenshot transformation feature. However, it looks like it doesn’t yet work for Typepad blogs? Please let me know when you expect this to be up and running.
Thanks!

Well, in theory it should work. If it doesn’t please get in touch with us at support@feedfabrik.com and send us a link to a video blogpost that doesn’t work. We will try to fix that.
