@eglyman thanks Eric! YES, that's the idea. getting shots on video makes us all go a little bit harder.

@michaeldouble After buying the full version, looks like I'm having some sort of errors with a video. Here's a screenshot: http://grab.by/J24m

Yikes @perte sorry about that! Can you send me an email mike@shredvideo.com and we'll share contact info and work through? It's super frustrating to lose your work sorry about that! We'll fix it asap.

@perte thanks Raul, and thanks for the call this am! For readers it looks like it might have been a bad .mp3 that caused the video to hang, we're checking it today.

@lejarvis Wow thanks!! LOVE your UGC concert application. Had this thought at a concert recently, where the band had something like 6 GoPros mounted on mic stands and instruments. Immediately thought, theres all this great footage on those cameras, plus all the videos concert attendees are recording from their phones. But who's going to edit all that footage?? We could feasibly use Shred Video technology take the best footage from the users phones + artists on stage, and put together a totally kickass montage instantly! And once cloud technology (basically upload/download speeds) gets good enough, could deliver that in realtime. Fun thoughts!

@bhavesh also, how can we purchase the entire product instead of single movies? Edit: I figured out this piece.

thanks @bhavesh glad you had fun with it! We remix the songs to be between 1 and 2 minutes long. In our user testing we found meaningful thresholds at 1, 1.5, and 2min -- users would start losing attention at 1min, and generally fully lost it by 2mins. GoPro's daily movies are all right under 2min long, so it seems like that's a meaningful threshold. That said, longer movies and the ability to add multiple songs are two of our most common feature requests. It seems like the best thing to do would be to keep the remixes short (4min of the same song drags unless your footage is REALLY good), and have adding multiple songs be a way to make your movie longer. Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming! Get at me mike@shredvideo.com anytime you have an idea or feature request.

Oh and @bhavesh there's no specific limit to how much footage you can upload! You can probably break Shred Video if you upload like 1TB worth of stuff, in testing it's handled 100GB+ successfully (tho sometimes can crash). With that much footage you're sure to get some pretty random cuts, which can sometimes be super weird and awesome. We're working on ways to optimize your edits based on the amount of footage you import, look for updates coming about every 2 weeks!

@suryaj Hi Surya, yes! We'll begin porting to other platforms a soon as we get the product dialed on Mac OS.

@michaeldouble This is amazing. I've been clamoring to build something like this. Even for myself. Can't wait to use this after my next trip. How do you gauge what makes a good video/clip?

Hi @pj_mukh thanks! Mostly we're looking for significant changes in speed and smoothness in the video. So when you go from rest to speed smoothly, there's a good chance that's an interesting action moment. Think dropping into a wave (surfing), bombing a bowl or half pipe (snowboarding), or descending a hill on your bike. When things get chattery or unstable, we try to cut those moments out.

@michaeldouble Amazeballs. That is exactly what I was envisioning. Can't wait to get my hands on this.

@pj_mukh awesome! get at me mike@shredvideo.com I'd love your feedback on the Mac app!

@michaeldouble any thoughts on repurposing for other vid types? I know one that took all the random footage of my kids and did the same would be interesting. Good work.

hey @blainehatab great thought! It handles use cases in this order: a surf trip w/ footage from board mounts, it's great. A snowboard/ski trip is pretty good. Most other use cases will require a small amount of tweaking to get the movie right. The video in media section^^ explains what this looks like, a minute of tweaking can deliver a pretty good movie from just about any footage.
