I'd like to see an a/b test of the same video shared through Vidzy vs one on the more traditional methods on the major platforms. B2B/B2C not your focus market exactly (yet?) but the gif-like preview feature seems super promising.

@kkdub Hi Kelly, that's an interesting thought. Though it need not be an either or choice. You can share videos on traditional social channels via Vidzy itself. As you have pointed out, its the GIF like preview (we call it a Vid) that makes it more fun :) And that works even when you share outside of Vidzy. Look forward to seeing you on Vidzy & getting more feedback from you!

Beauty of Vidzy is how they sort of combined the good elements from YouTube, Instagram and Vine to deliver a powerful personal video sharing App. The trigger is so clear- share any video on your phone through a short, looping, fun teaser. I realised that no app solves this problem today and if Vidzy can somehow stay on top of my head while recording videos, it can become big. I also liked how they have worked on really small things which matter- notify me about who watched my video (makes too much sense for personal video sharing), a fun profile creation process, colours that give it a young peppy feel. Must try!

@misbahspeaks thanks for hunting Vidzy. Friends we have made Vidzy through lot of small iterations, talking to people about the gaps in video sharing domain. We realised that surprisingly there is no trigger today to capture and share more and more videos as all the current social platforms like FB, Twitter, Instagram started with something else and then moved on to Videos. Vine is all about fun and YouTube is all about production quality videos. Which leaves a big gap for personal videos we capture everyday. Please download the app and give your feedback. We are working on things like making "Vid" creation process shorter and simpler but in the meantime do upload some of your videos and see how those "view" notifications motivate you :-). Look forward.

@rgupta29 Congrats on launching. It looks like a lot of detail was put into engineering features. I think your challenge is going to be that people don't really want to consume "Personal Videos" simply because people's everyday lives are not that interesting to consume. 95%+ of users in these kinds of apps are going to be consumers, not creators, and generally people consume video to be entertained. The teaser video/GIF might be more entertaining than the longer video itself so you may want to focus on that part.

I see GIFs in the feed not auto playing video (Vine experience) then once I tap on I can watch the video, how is this a Vine experience?

@koridhandy Hi Kori, the GIFs you are seeing are the teasers for the videos which play when you tap on them. The idea was to make sharing & discovery of personal videos more fun by using these short teasers. We called the teasers 'Vine like' as they loop on autoplay similar to Vines. Hope that answers your query :)

I love the concept of being able to show bits and pieces of a video (kind of like a gif) and share it with the world. Look forward to hearing how everyone else uses Vidzy.

@abhineetsays Thanks. Yes @Abhineet the idea is to help users quickly recognise a video and watch the full video if interested. Helps in super quick decision making. We have also made an interesting way to describe your video through a quick 10 sec voiceover. Check it out,
