Hey folks -- we're making a big investment in improving our video UX. That said, would encourage folks to start posting videos in 9:16 aspect ratio (like TikTok, IG Reels, YT Shorts). Would also encourage people to add captions -- using CapCut, Captions (app), Descript, Kapwing, etc.
Ok will do
ok
blessed be the video gods
there appears to be technical issues with playback 😅😅😅 https://farcaster.xyz/christin/0xd7a20240
Like this? https://farcaster.xyz/teleyinex.eth/0x39010aa6
That’s great! Will there be any kind of algorithmic boost or priority for video content, like there is on X?
Curious what you'd think about videos having a dedicated feed on the Farcaster app? Users could then use the app more like TikTok, IG Reels, Shorts etc
Sharing our last posts before we even see this hhahaha https://farcaster.xyz/duodomusica/0xe0343aa2 https://farcaster.xyz/duodomusica/0x8ca25972
I'm glad you're putting work into video, but I'll create my videos in whatever aspect ratio I damn well please.
you do you our algo feed is going to prioritize 9:16 though
Does that mean other aspect ratios will be less likely to be seen in people's feeds? That would kind of suck for a lot of artists.
i did yesterday but the video quality is lowered from when i created on tiktok
It’s a bug. Will fix!
awesome!
additionally aspect ratios consistently are off - same goes for images in general
