Yes. We all animators hate it... Also you can use only gifs and no videos with sound...

I think Inkbunny let’s you upload videos at a good size. maybe I’m wrong but you can give it a try. :o

It has so far let us upload our demo video of Anita Fruit Punch video.

Sounds interesting, thanks!

yep, im inkbunny and yes, you can put videos and html5

Thanks <3

Your welcome. :3

for real it's annoying and stupid from this site
this place is super outdated in so many aspects

Until you find stuff on e621, but yeah. Lot of those sites you listed are either locked behind paywalls or mature filters and I don't have an account that'd let me to see them. I refuse to use Twitter for any reason, have since before Musky Husky took it over and did what he did with the platform.

I can recommend SoFurry. It offers everything FA does AND supports videos and other such things.

right? fuckin' bullshit Jimmy

im hearing some good things about Itaku

Wow, really? Never tried uploading anything video-like here so I didn't realize. Funny that they support the zombie that is flash (via Ruffle), and not any video support.

Not that it'd be as easy as screenshots, or as satisfying as uploading video, but maybe you could upload some animated gif-clips instead of screenshots? I mean, they wouldn't be as amazing as your videos nor have the soundtrack, but people could see the fluidity of your animation at least.

You always have the option of uploading a private youtube video and then embedding it in a journal.

yep, all they do is put new absurd rules but they don't innovate. in the end it will be like my space.

Ever try to use discord to help you get more viewers and stay in contact?

What has two similar thumbs and follows you on twitter? 👍🏻 👍🏻 This guy~

I can explain why. It's annoying but it's mostly not FA's fault.

The entirety of FA is served using CloudFlare (primarily for DDoS protection, and improved performance).

CloudFlare does not allow streaming video files on any of their product plans (except Stream product) - it's a violation of their Terms of Service. I'm aware of this because it happened to me. Videos I'd host for people slowly got replaced with CloudFlare stating the video can't be played because it is against their rules.

If FA wanted to add video support, they'd have to use CloudFlare Stream. It would cost FA for every minute per stream of a video, and the storage costs for per minute of video. It would become very expensive quickly. It means any video files are stored at CloudFlare, rather than FA.

Alternatively, FA can stream videos without the need of CloudFlare in-between. Content would stream directly from FA's servers - but there's a downside to this. It exposes their public IPs, which is what causes attacks to become frequent, and the cost of bandwidth would be very high. Plus, the location of the servers would determine how quickly that content can be served to end-users. If you're in Europe for example, and FA servers are in America, you could be waiting a while for a video to buffer.

FA have made plans to introduce video uploads back in March 2022: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10158548/ by stating their intent to save up about $24,000 to buy servers with enough capacity to support 5 years worth of video files. How much money they've accumulated so far for this feature hasn't been disclosed.

Long story short: FA knows people want this following the death of Flash Player. They just need to look for a budget-friendly option that doesn't compromise the platform and increases the risk of disruption.

I'm not talking about streaming. I'm talking about hosting a video file, 10mb or lower. It's no different than hosting an image file.

I should clarify. When you watch a pre-made video, your browser buffers it. Streaming is just a fancy way of saying buffer.

But, regardless, CloudFlare would forbid it.

FA dev team is actively finding a solution though.

Streaming and watching a not-fully-downloaded video are very different things server side.

But that doesn't matter, because Cloudflare allows streaming: https://www.cloudflare.com/products.....dflare-stream/

If FA pays for it, yes. They charge for storage per minute of video, and charge for per minute of video streamed. Not exactly cheap either, all things considered.

Think of it this way: It means your Paetron has added value.

Most of the animators I follow post announcements here, but post the videos on Catbox or e621 and then link there. Alternatively, a few people are trying out Itaku because it supports video (Hell, I've seen quite a few upload full videos just today).
