Hello

I've got a pro-account at smug mug and host all my web-sites photos and my private stuff there as well...

I recently started to embedd videos on my website using smugmugs video-embedding...:

http://www.ferrumd.com/ferrum/index.php/The40-tonhydraulicforgingpress.html

However I find it rather annoying that the green smuggy is there constantly while playing the video...
don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind it to be there at the beginning, or when I move my mouse over the video to access the controller, or at the end of the movie (or all of the above)... but having it there overlayd constantly on my movies while these play is a bit "overkill" and "Distracting".

Is there any way to change this?

Thanks...

(I understand advertisment is important, especially for free services like youtube,... but it should be handled different when it is a payd service....)


besides this - the video sharing is AMAZING!!!! especially for my business website it's a fantastic thing to get rid of youtube for compatible embedded hosting of videos... thanks for this guys...

Daniel,

I am afraid not at this time. Sorry for not responding sooner. I have been out running errands.

hey doc,

no problem - it's by far not a deal-breaker ;) ... Maybe you could offer to make it translucent... that would serve me quite well... don't know how much work that would be though...

thanks..

I love smugmug! Great stuff, as always.

More recenlty I've been using WordPress for CMS and blogging. I've begun embedding smugmug pics and videos. With videos, the smugmug logo is a bit unsightly.

It sounds like requests have been made and you guys are working on this. Thanks a bunch!

Is there any ETA on this

Much appreciation,
Jacob

We don't discuss release dates just in case there are problems. But, hopefully soon.

Nothing at all against Smuggy but if something has to be there the word Smugmug like on our straps or stickers would get my vote....
