I'm reading in the comments that there's more on the page if you scroll. I'm using a laptop with no mouse and no scroll on the trackpad and neither Page Down nor Space nor the arrow keys work.

This unfortunately is a problem :( This was a demonstration of the new Famo.us framework and their scrollviews not not support bars yet!

It's also using the first release of famo.us, and there was a new major version since, and one incoming.

solid. good to see more upstart competition in the space. I'm founder of remarkhq.com besides the autoplay bashing in here... lol, the site is pretty slick. definitely wish you and the frame team the best of luck. I'm sure we'll meet again. :p and just to troll a little: kudos on the 1k bot followers on Twitter...

Thanks! glad to see friendly competition! and no we launched yesterday, we do SNL digital short and have huge industry rep. Elijah wood even signed up.. No fakes yet :)

sign ups and name dropping are so totally last year. actively engaged is what counts. =p

Since the entire site is basically built around the demo, I think it's fine in this case, and improves the experience of seeing the demo.

you got it! it was hard to tell it was even a video, with out it!

Not true, as it's plain that the background is moving without the annoying music playing.

Demo looks incredible. Well done. What sort of transcoding infrastructure are you using?

Rolling our own for wider support. We have a special in, in the industry, and will be supporting RAW camera formats like no other :)

So you're not even using ffmpeg? It's used by Dropbox and many others - https://tech.dropbox.com/2014/02/video-processing-at-dropbox...

I'd imagine that'll be the biggest bottleneck, especially if you intend to transcode raw video with data rates of > 1GB/minute

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…

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

How about lowering it to zero?

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

Why even target the tech community? This looks like a pure Hollywood play. I would stay away from Freemium-esque model here. I've worked with quite a few fashion companies and they'd eat this up...

Tech is my community as CTO, and this is one of the few examples on the web using the new Famo.us JS framework. Aside from that, everyone is creating video for marketing as professional quality video is more readily available to consumers. Thanks for the input on the Freemium model as well! We have heard both sides, and will be a tough call! :)
