Vcasmo - Online presentation platform
Written by Angus Lau August 2nd, 2007 . Tags: Hong Kong, Vcasmo, Web 2.0.
Vcasmo is an online presentation service that users can use to upload videos, photos, music and even PowerPoint presentations.
It’s distinct feature is the ability to split the screens into two, one side for video, one side for slides, providing excellent audio for the users as well as useful visuals to following along. So whether it’s slides you are creating a business presentation online, sales pitch, photo slideshow with music or educational materials, this is pretty handy.

There are some minor constraints, but should not affect you in building your presentations, unless you are rolling out video/presentations like a mad man. Vcasmo has limited a daily upload bandwidth of 200MB and 1GB storage for each account. You can expect to see some sort of monthly plans or annual plans which will remove the bandwidth constraints for those power users, assuming the usage increases. Oh and there is no support for Keynote presentations done on a Mac but there’s the option to use Creative Commons licenses.
Obviously, Vcasmo does more than online presentations for you, maybe a bit too much, videos, photo slideshows, presentations and music all in one place, which makes for a messy site. If you want to use this solely for video, you can, but you’ll probably find YouTube to be better. If you want to use this solely for photo slideshows, you can, but Flickr and other photo services provide a better slideshow feature. However, for video presentations with embedded slides, business presentations with remote clients, audio embedded photo slideshows, instructional videos, I think this is a great service. It’ll be advantageous for them to eliminate the stuff we can already find on YouTube, Flickr, Photobucket, etc and create a niche for presentation slideshows. You don’t see YouTube getting involved with photos or other media and just like you don’t see any of the photo services getting involved with video.
Update: Flickr intends to add video
Corrections: Phototbucket does video already.

For video part, the encoded Flash video quality is much better than youtube because we use better codec, also, we do not limit video must be less than 10 minutes.
For photo/slideshow part, we can integrate background music and set up flexible /different time gap between each photo, arrange show order, support caption, so we are even do better than other photo site.
BTW, we are neither video-sharing nor photo-sharing site, so if you want video hosting, we encourage users use youtube, if you want photo service, we encourage users use flickr
We have just added PDF support, so for Keynote users, you can export to PDF first, then you can upload to VCASMO, too.
