OVBlogger: Blogging and SEO

If you aren’t into making video for your website, your blog, or a membership site or whatever, you probably don’t know about the “Chipmunk Issue.” How did Alvin and his friends get into all those videos online?

It was an upgrade for Adobe Flash that did it. That new version of Flash wasn’t compatible with any Camtasia made before version 5.0.2. The new upgrade, and how most videos online are rendered, gave all those videos the effect of garbling in the audio, but only intermittently. It was weird.

There is a fix for it, but don’t bother. It doesn’t work.

The only solution that I’ve found is that you have to re-render all the videos in Camtasia 5.0.2 . Lots of incentive for upgrading, eh?

And it’s a total pain in the butt. It takes a while to render videos, but to re-upload them if you have a lot of them takes like… forever.

I had someone berate me for this in my membership site and ask for a refund. Argh! People can be very unforgiving, especially when they’re paying for something. So… beware.

If you have videos made before Camtasia 5.0.2, get busy. It should only take, like…

For.ever

Grrr…
