Flickr adds support for video

flickrIf you have a video file that you’d like to share with the world or just a friend or two, you have a new option: Flickr.

This option will only be available for its pro members, but that membership only costs $25 per year and gives you:

  • Unlimited uploads
  • Unlimited sets and collections
  • Access to your original files
  • Stats on your account
  • Ad-free browsing and sharing

Throw in the new ability to upload videos too and that fee is more than reasonable if you have a lot of pictures or videos you want to share.

The new video features gives you:

  • Video uploading for Flickr pro members
  • The ability for free and pro members to view public video clips
  • Video limits up to 90 seconds long and 150MB maximum in size
  • Controls to make videos private, visible to friends and/or family, or public
  • Seamless integration of videos into the photostream, along with photos
  • The ability to share video clips individually, as part of a set, or embed on third-party Web sites
  • Tagging and geotagging capabilities for videos
  • The ability to search videos by tags and descriptions
  • The ability to upload videos directly from camera phones
  • The option to view videos on a full screen
  • Licensing options to mark a video as ‘All Rights Reserved’ or designate a license through Creative Commons (http://creativecommons.org/)
  • Application programming interface (API) for third party developers to create programs or services using authorized video submitted to Flickr
