Writing a trip report? Here's how to add pictures.

Not possible in SMF (which powers this forum). For videos I use regular Youtube embedding.

I realized that you started using a different way to upload videos especially in your Hawaii TR, that allows viewers to see the video without opening it. Would mind sharing the way? TIA

These are GIFs:

Premier to edit and trim the video and then Photoshop to create the GIF. Import -> Video frames to layers -> resize to 600px and edit as needed. Then Save for web -> Dither -> Diffuse -> choose either 128 or 256 colors -> Export. Upload to Photobucket since Flickr doesn't handle GIFs properly.

It still doesn't compare to uploading to YouTube, as you're very limited with the length (15-20 seconds is really the max) and the quality is horrendous. But it does make for easier TR reading.

There's a free program called 'photo scape' which is easy and excellent for photo editing, especially for gif's.

thanks, i do lose some quality in the image for some reason

Makes sense. If you have Photoshop you can do something very similar without losing the quality.

You could use Picasa to pixelate a portion of an image:

First time trying to use Flickr. Seems like they have a new beta version for uploading pics and I don't see the option to share where it gives you a BBCode link. Any help?

The share options are from the image page, but the upload page. The new site design looks a bit different that the screenshots in the tutorial, but the buttons and options remain pretty much the same.

Ah, I was looking at the upload page. Only had share via FB, Twitter, etc. options. Thank you!
