KickLight: Sync Images and Links with Videos

KickLight is a new revolutionary online video service. It allows video makers to add synchronized visual elements, called “kicks,” to online videos. People promoting websites through videos will get a “kick” out of this one. Instead of placing URLs on the video you can place images, text and links that appear along with the video.

A “kick,” as I’ve said, is the element that goes with the video. You can place images and links in your “kicks” and it will follow the video wherever it goes or if it gets embedded somewhere else. Kick Light lets you grab videos from YouTube or KickLight. You can create kicks by using their editor that lets you upload up to 10 images per video. You can place text on each kick and add links to them. You can also edit the transitions of your kicks as they appear when the video is played. After uploading your kicks, all you need to do is grab them to the timeline of your video and save.

KickLight is a great way to add information to your videos without adding them to the actual video. This is great for tutorials and it will probably save you some time embedding texts, URLs and images to your videos. You can place them as “kicks” instead. If your viewers feel that the “kick” distracts them, they can always close it whenever they want.

Export your Stumbleupon Favorites

Here is a nice web tool that lets you export your StumbleUpon Favorites into your computer. Instead of copying the links from your StumbleUpon account, you can import as many as you like using this tool. The guy who made this said that after contacting StumbleUpon a few times about an exporter tool, he didn’t get a single reply, so he made his own tool.

This tool will come in handy if ever you want to review your favorite links without going to your Stumbleupon page. You can also import it to your Firefox Browser’s bookmarks if you want to keep it there. What is great about this tool is that it sorts your favorite links into categories so you can easily browse through your stumbled links. Instead of browsing through your StumbleUpon pages which is sorted by date and time.

How to use:

Like in the image above, just place in your StumbleUpon username (no password required), and the number of favorite links you want to import. Toggle the check box if you want to group your exported links by categories (recommended). Then just press the Import Favorites button and it will start creating your file. You can save the generated page to your desktop or import to your Firefox browser.

Note:

• In order for this to work, you must set your profile publicly. In your StumbleUpon Preferences under “Personal Information” in My Favorites”, choose Show Favorites to everyone. And under “Public Profile”, in “Share Favorites with Visitors”, choose show all favorites.

• The exporter will not work on profiles that are “R”  and “X” rated.
