The music is in the video, that autoplays on scroll completion. Sorry if it annoys you.

Unfortunately it is truly annoying and very loud. Maybe warn folks before they blast that out their speakers in the wee small hours.

yeah, brings back those myspace memories for me. the browser even became unusable as well - just like it used to, with those decked out myspace themes. (actually, it's amazing to think that IE survived some of those profiles.)

OK...must..not let...autoplaying video...harshen critique...

So can the OP elaborate how this is the "Github" for video, rather than, the "YouTube for Video"? Because at a glance, from what's on the page...A "Dropbox for file sharing, Vimeo for video review, and Email for communication" is what I would consider YouTube to be (well, Youtube + Google+)...

A Github for Video would, in my mind, involve some kind of diffing thing...and a way for collaborators to do something like freely tinker with audio/video, all at once, and share and merge those iterations in some much easier, more harmonious way than just uploading clips to the cloud and annotating them, which you can already do with YouTube.

(also, the video on site, on the iPad, seems to be unresponsive to the replay button, which makes it hard to review the demoed details)

That said, this is definitely a cool thing to try out in theory. I'm especially interested in seeing how bandwidth issues are handled (or if a slight sacrifice in resolution and fidelity is the tradeoff...and if that tradeoff is even possible with the tastes of the intended audience)

Please, please , PLEASE don't automatically play audio upon the page load. Serious question to the creators of frame.io: what makes you think that it's okay to do that?

sorry, if the page was laggy and you initialized scroll, the pages scrolls to position and autoplays a video. It does not happen on load, lessons learned

Please reread my first comment. I've said nothing about the page being laggy. In fact, on my system, it didn't lag at all.

What makes you think it's okay to automatically play sound when the user starts scrolling? What were you thinking? That's not a sarcastic put-down. I would like to know what could have possibly been going on in your brain when you thought that this was anything but a horrible, off-putting design decision.

Oh ok.. I just fixed the volume to 25%

Probably something along the lines of "if we put a play button and a video not many people click it so why not just play by default?"

You are right. The github part was for the tech community and only refers to version control videos, and EDLs, or Edit Decision Lists, to track changes in an edit. From version to version. Thanks for ending on a high note, most of our industry response has been wonderful
