www.COUB.COM
OK, So now we know about the symbol, but what is it? What is Coub.com? It's a place where users create or watch or both. What are they creating and watching?
Looped videos with sound!
I know everyone has seen GIF animations. Do they ever take forever to load? Do they begin the animation before it's loaded? That stutter can make me lose interest quick. And no sounds? Forget that.
Coubs are like Gifs, but they can have sound too and the sound can be longer than the video part because it loops. When the video gets to the end it starts again while the sound continues until it's end and also starts over. The resulting file is smaller than a GIF, can be full HD and loads much faster.
Coub.com allows a user to link a video from various places, like Youtube, Facebook or Instagram. Once the video uploads, converts and loads you will be able to edit the start and end points of your loop. The loop can be 10 seconds long or shorter. If the sound from your source is not what you want, then you can also either link or upload an audio file. The audio can't be edited separately in COUB.com. Maybe they will add that feature. They add features from time to time. When I first started they only allowed for one source. Now, can add other clips from the same source or add clips by linking other sources. It is possible to use other coubs as the source too.
Next time I will talk about the 3 directional buttons.
