Vidavee Graffiti: Create your own version of online videos
by Emily Price Feb 15th 2007
Vidavee Graffiti allows you to add subtitles, speech bubbles, actual bubbles, balloons, aliens, and much more to existing YouTube, Myspace, or other online based video. The website interface is pretty simple. You find the URL or the video you want to graffiti, load it onto the site, and then drag and drop effects over the existing video. There are quite a few different animations and text options to choose from right now on the site. Each effect is given it's own timeline where you can adjust when it will come onto the screen and when it will leave. The site is still in beta, but soon you will be able to upload your own effects to use in videos and save and store your own favorite effects.
Once you are done covering a video with graffiti you can generate a new URL for your version of the video and post it on your own personal website or MySpace page. There is also a new URL for the video so you can send a link to friends through email.

They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
