Last nights VIDEO SLAM Remix Forum was a success… It was amazing! The Horse Bazaar was packed! There were cheers for the teams and discussion between the legal crew after the screenings raised issues that I’d never heard discussed in any Creative Commons (CC) forum space.

Elliott Bledsoe and I spent the last hours of the evening talking about quite a few CC and related projects… he stated again, that this is the only initiative in the world that uses CC licenses in this way, that not only provides a workshop in how they are used, but also results in real, watchable films!

More on the Remix Forum OPEN CHANNEL VIDEO SLAM Blog… includes a run-down of proceedings.

With the recent upgrade of WordPress to 2.5.1, and in fact, I believe since 2.3+, embedded videos in all the WordPress sites I look after had suddenly disappeared! The embed / object code seemed in place, but what in fact seems to have happened is that the GUI editor munched up this code preventing the videos from even appearing.

The solution is to turn off the default visual editor in your user profile and re-embed all those vids, in particular the EngageMedia pieces as the WordPress media embed tool only supports a handful of providers such as YouTube, Google, Flickr, etc.
