ClipSyndicate.com - Putting Video To Work
Clipsyndicate provides a means to create and add videos to your own customizable channel which can be directly published to your blog or website. You can search the site's content to add to your channel or you can find your own clips. Each registered member may have an unlimited number of channels to publish to their site. Clips may be added via a smart channel function which creates a channel using saved searches and is automatically updated with your search parameters; or users may simply add clips manually by searching the database. Clipsyndicate hosts featured channels with content made specifically for the site; while these clips may be added to any blog/personal website, their content and order may not be altered. To publish to your site there are three options, RSS, JavaScript, or html. The method depends entirely on your preference. Registration is required to use any of the functions, but it is free.
