You've done a great job integrating videos and Google earth. Thought you might want to be aware of TubeMogul.com - it's a free site that lets you upload videos to about ten sites including YouTube. The hassle factor is you have to set up accounts with each of the sites first but it does save a lot of time, generate incremental traffic and some SEO benefits. All the Best, Lee Traupel Linked Media Group Hi Jim,

Most people don't have all day to play with this stuff, so adding 15+ extra minutes generate a map - and that's not including the time to CREATE it in the first place! ... especially since you really can't do anything else with your computer .... can make a difference.

I saw your blog on ActiveRain about the <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/855020/13-fool-proof-ways-to-create-a-bad-real-estate-video" rel="nofollow">13 fool proof ways to create a bad video</a></strong>. I'm kind of a master at that. People can watch my videos a learn of <em><strong>lots</strong></em> of things not to do. :-) I just assumed that 10-15 minutes to render is normal. Here in Seattle that just means it's time to go have a latte! Good point about the legal stuff, Fred. I saw your blog on ActiveRain about the 13 fool proof ways to create a bad video.

It's a little pricey for those who only will use it a few times at $400 per year. Just be aware, if you're working in hi def and create hi def movies with Google Earth, you need some MAJOR computing power and a bit of time. Each of mine take about 10-15 minutes to create and you can't TOUCH your computer while it's generating the video or it will be corrupted and unusable. People also need to know it's a copyright violation to use Google Earth in your videos without the PRO version. One of the samples above is clearly a screen shot of the free version. I'm sure Google has some pretty fine lawyers working for them.... I’ve used Google Earth for several hundreds videos over the years… it’s a great tool and a nice addition to a video!
