Voila… the new Animoto video player

Introducing the new & improved Animoto video player.  From design to usability to speed, it’s pretty much been improved in every way we could think of.

Specifics include:
– clean transparent-grey design
– smoother buffering & playback
– fewer re-buffering interruptions (by way of bandwidth metering)
– smoother scrubbing (while playing or paused)
– time display toggles between elapsed & remaining time
– pop-up indicators on various controls like volume
– higher-quality video compression
– new Share & Embed options (for video shorts) allowing for
posting or linking to the videos directly from the player
