Hey folks -- we're making a big investment in improving our video UX. 

That said, would encourage folks to start posting videos in 9:16 aspect ratio (like TikTok, IG Reels, YT Shorts).

Would also encourage people to add captions -- using CapCut, Captions (app), Descript, Kapwing, etc.

@dwr.eth any benefit to us posting natively as opposed to linking a youtube short?

I kept telling everyone posting natively was the way they kept saying I was tripping. I have engagement numbers to prove it! And now even more proof. @androidsixteen.eth the man has spoken, mini app for video will do worse than native

I think @dwr and team are focused on short form video (hence the request for 9:16 aspect ratio videos) because that's what does best in-feed

This is a different format than what Pinetree is focused on. You can think of PT as the video "power user" tool. Once you want to expand beyond shorts and create long-form or 16:9 content, it's probably better to have a full-fledged video product rather than a feed product that has good video support

Also, more video creators in the FC ecosytem is good for everyone

You say better but my people tell me choppy 🤷‍♂️ I'm just trying to figure it out. I can post both long and short form, but I need a valid use case and your argument was that it is built for long form. If they tell me choppy playback, then is it better for long form?

Not sure what you want me to say -- if you don't want to use the product, don't use it

It gets far less engagement, so I still don't see the point. People told me that video was stuttering for them too 🤷‍♂️
