I've made some pretty cool video trailers for one of my past books and one for a couple of friends and their comic. It wasn't Flash (I don't know Flash) it was a 30 second Windows Media Video File.
I would love to do one for Devoid of Life and place it on the site where someone can watch the trailer and then read the comic.
So how about it?
Any plans for comic trailers made by participants?

I think this is already within your ability to do. If you wanted a trailer for your comic, you could enable your homepage feature, then create a homepage than will display (or allow the download of) your comic trailer. Now, where you store the trailer may be the challenge.

The homepage thing is entirely possible, but then people are already at the comic then aren't they? I think the main question was whether we're going to let users put trailers up like we have movie trailers up on the main page.

That I dunno. :3 It might be interesting, but that's a lot of "real estate" space for something that a lot of people probably won't do very well (or be able to do at all). I suspect the main page trailer spot is one of the few things that is Platinum's.

i suggest uploding it on u-tube and linking it to your homepage.

I made a short video trailer for Devoid of Life (horror).
Check it out at youtube

you can insert the code into your Home page by editing it... this is you BTW:


Or you could just link to it using this text:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQwTzBjBJW0

Put it in this format and it can just go in the forum or author comments:
{url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQwTzBjBJW0}vid{/url}

(replace all curly brackets with square ones)

I'm pretty sure there's an embed tag especially for comments and the forum now too...

hmmm...I can't seem to make anything work.

Whoops-nevermind -seems to work now. The delay between application and function can screw you up sometimes.

We are going to make a page where you can submit trailers for any comic on DrunkDuck. As long as the trailers are relevant and not Adult rated it will go up on the page. It’s weeks away as lots of other programming is in front of it so please be patient.
