Mired in code this past May. Took several days and many tries to come up with this line of code """edit-video-box2.shtml""" It is a server side include call for a bigger chunk of code. A whopping big chunk.

Include files can be thought of as subroutines. Instead of writing lengthy code snippets everytime, you write a subroutine call that loads up a bigger code file when called upon. This trick makes the code portable from page to page. Great idea, Tim! What are you talking about? This, check it out...

This is the server side include I made to display this interactive buy now box I made for my video editing business. The box features 4 levels of video editing options, Basic, Standard, Premium and Custom. Standard, Premium and Custom packages include avatar generation which can be selected. I needed a way to show the avatar presenters without cluttering up the space.

I admit I turned to Microsoft Copilot chatbot to help write the code. Good thing too 'cause I made several debugging mistakes. So did Copilot for that matter. In the end I now have a way for you to order a video editing project that is not controlled by an off-website entity like fiverr, Upwork or Thumbtack.

The Standard package offers only animated and human like avatars from our libray (about 100 to choose from). The Premium and Custom packages include AI generated avatars from a prompt or image.

SBI or Solo Build It is the web hosting platform I use that utilizes SSI (sever side include) files. Simply upload your own HTML and SSI files once. And next time I want to re-use the SSI all I have to do is put the SSI call (or a super short snippet). Learn more...

Aaron Logo is an animated avatar created with AI. He features a light blue suit with a white shirt with a mustache and gotee. But that can change, this video spokesperson has many changeable assets. Color for all clothing, hair and accessories can by modified. The logo can by changed and is embedded into the clipboard.

Aaron is part of BWT Videos collection of video spokesperson presenters. Our avatars are multi-lingual, multi-national and polyglotish. That means they speak and understand many languages. They can read and translate into about 60 different dialects and accents. Pretty cool! Eh?

Animated avatars are a great low cost way to promote your brand, business, product or service. They can be lip-synced with a voice over or narrate from a written script.

Do you know what day it is? It's National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie day (June 9). By far my sister's favorite reason to celebrate on June 9th. As far as I can remember she made this delish dish every year. Now, Jenny spills the recipe. Take a look.

Jenny is an AI avatar that can be re-used. Since she was created from an image and then animated she can called a "consistent character." In this video she tells us about National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day.

So, I made this delish dish because my it reminds me of my sister Ann. Ann was a gourmet cook (self taught) and loved rhubarb and strawberries. She made this pie at least once a year. Ann even grew her own rhubarb.

When I saw this reason to celebrate I took it. Sadly, I am not a gourmet cook. Still it was delicious, and tangy and sweet. Yummy!

Well, now you know BWT Videos is an AI avatar creator. Do you have an avatar idea in mind? Say, a selfie type avatar. Take a picture of yourself and turn it into an avatar. However, I will not do celebrities, political figures or any well known people. Not my rule, my supplier's rule. BWT Videos is your avatar creator for video presenters. Order yours today...

Don't shoot bad footage, be color ready.To get truly color ready, you need to think in three phases: what you do in-camera, what you do after the shoot, and what you do before handing the project to a colorist, or grading it yourself. These steps come naturally with training and practice, but most filmmakers don't think of them. And finally, there's one more piece nobody talks about; How to ask your colorist for what you want, and what to expect in return.

Use this guide prepare your footage properly to get video editing and color grading done for the best cost and least headaches...

Recenty I completed a color grading job for a client I got from Thumbtack of all places. It was a so-called 10 minute film that ran 23 minutes long. Client wanted his so-called final cut to be graded for consistency and stylized look.

Well I offered him a "mixed one lite" grading approach and agreed upon a workflow process. Which of course discombobulated the minute I got the footage. Without too much detail the job morphed into a raw footage full scene by scene grade.

The footage was all over the place, but I fixed it. And it was, the whole shoot was around a park location in early spring. The grass was brown and the sky patchy . The light ranged from mid afternoon through golden hour into red shift evening light. Some shots were full daylight, some late afternoon and others were past sunset, with every angle and lighting condition in between.

But enough tech talk for now. What I really wanted to say is I am now operating a video editing business through Thumbtack. I am practicing being the professional video editor/colorist, I've always wanted to be. Click the link below to see my profile page...

I updated my fiverr gig strategy for my Screencast Tutorial Service. And it got spit out of the hemisphere like a pea on a rocket. It should come screaming back to reality any minute now, I predict.

Meanwhile, it was my endevour to boost the gig into the stratosphere, metaphorically speaking that is. So, I applied some strategy updates to get it flyng again. Here a few tips I found, and why they should work.

Thumbnail image: Your thumbnail isn't just a picture; it's your billboard in Fiverr's marketplace. A well-crafted thumbnail can:

• Grabs attention in a crowded category
• Communicates your service in under 0.3 seconds
• Increase click-through rate (CTR) also signals professionalism and clarity
• Align buyer's expectations for screencast tutorials

A strong thumbnail is the #1 factor in whether buyers click your gig or scroll past it.

Description: Your gig description is your sales page. Updating it to reflect the service you offer helps:

• I improve keyword relevance
• Set accurate buyer expectations
• Reduce unnecessary questions
• I increase conversion rate
• Positions you as an expert with authority

A clear, confident description helps buyers trust you before they message you.

Package structure Your packages should reflect how you actually work. By restructuring them:

• buyers understand what they're getting.
• Pricing aligns with effort and value
• Upgrades and add-ons make sense
• buyers can choose the right level without confusion
• Fiverr's algorithm sees clean, logical package tiers

A well-structured package system increases both order volume and average order value.
