Stupeflix announced today, at the Business Video Expo, that they are changing the way they connect to developers and allow access to the Stupeflix video creation suite API. Whereas it was somewhat cost prohibitive in the past, they are now lowering the price of both access and video rendering to commoditize video creation. Previously, says Jean-Francois Boudier, Stupeflix co-founder and CTO, access to the API was dependent on requirements definition, commercial proposal, negotiation, contracts, signatures, etc.

Revision3 CEO Jim Louderback took to the Rev3 blog this morning and announced a 359% increase in total views and a 53% increase in revenue for the year of 2011.  Revision3 made smart acquisitions last year, including the extraordinarily successful Epic Meal Time , and by the end of the year, picked up one of YouTube’s all-time hits, The Philip DeFranco Show , which should make 2012 even better.  Rev3 also increased its YouTube subscribers across all shows to 4.5 million.  In addition to the audience and revenue, Rev3 is proud of their technological advancements over the year. Revision3 Saw Growth, Focused On Mobile In 2011 Rev3 saw 800 million views in 2011.  But the other big focus for the company was changing to an HTML5 player across all platforms.  HTML5 is far less stressful on mobile devices and led to Adobe abandoning Flash on mobile.  So Rev3 went that route, and they have an Android app that works across phones, tablets, and Google TV

While at CES I had the distinct pleasure of attending the inaugural International Academy Of Web Television Awards ceremony that celebrated all things online video and included the likes of Felicia Day, Shari Lazar and Kevin Pollack. It was pretty cool and, to me, demonstrated how far we have come in the realm of online video

Since 2011 is over and we’re rapidly hurtling toward the end of the world, or at least, the end of the Mayan calender, I asked everyone what they thought 2012 would have in store for online video. As I said in my online video advertising forecast , politics is going to be a major factor across the board in my mind.
