Flickr launches videos for pro accounts

Wed, Apr 9, 2008

Industry News

A post on the official Flickr blog today announced the launch a new feature offering the ability to include short video clips in your sets. The blog post explains that the feature is available to pro members only currently, and that clips are to be limited to 90 seconds.

The had this to say regarding the time limit;

90 seconds? While this might seem like an arbitrary limit, we thought long and hard about how video would complement the flickrverse. If you’ve memorized the Community Guidelines, you know that Flickr is all about sharing photos that you yourself have taken. Video will be no different and so what quickly bubbled up was the idea of “long photos,” of capturing slices of life to share.

Much more information is available on the official announcement and further on the video help page.
