Here’s just a few things you can do with SMACKB!Z right now:

• Create your own video library online. No specialised expertise needed
• Manage your video on the web, avoid copyright issues
• Store uploaded videos on your server, they stay under your control
• Share views only inside or outside your network
• Allow uploads from only inside your network or from the internet as well
• Scaleable video storage
• Compress videos automatically on the !SMACK! client to reduce size of video library and the time to upload and download
• Build advanced video
• Search Engine friendly display pages and video information
• Users can upload their own videos, releasing audiovisual staff for higher level duties not just copying and cataloging videos
• Define information for collection related to the video during upload
• Define custom video displays: For example, add and display Sports videos in one area with different video information and look & feel to the News videos you upload and display in another.

Keep an eye out for the next release of SMACKB!Z as we’re currently testing:

• Bulk loads of videos of any format: rapidly import an existing offline video library including all it's associated info
• Popularity by views: views this week, views this month, totals views
• Lead-in and Lead-out videos: Monetize the time before and after videos are watched.
• Video Annotation: Add notes like chapters and hyperlinks at places during videos
• Ratings: Allow viewers to rate videos

And we have more being developed:

• Manual approval: Before display, the video would need approval.
• Random display: A random selection of videos from a category
• Videos currently being watched: Same as YouTube
