So lets hope that Microsoft buys Yahoo then, as Windows clearly also follows that model:
My Photos
My Documents
My Videos
And Amen to that Vieira. The very point I have been trying to get across all day.

In the minority here I suspect (haven't read all the feedback).... I like Flickr Videos!
I am one of the masses who would not consider themselves a 'photographer' but rather an 'enthusiast'. I love photos/images and what they can do on a person seeing a wonderful image. I have a great passion for photos/images in education and the potential it has for teaching and learning in this ever increasing digital realm. I love it!
However, sometimes a single image is not enough to convey the full 'story'. Otherwise going to the movies would be a very short experience! I love the ability in one site to share those extras bits, that enable my friends and family to see the whole 'picture' of an experience I want to share with them. The majority of what I will be sharing 95%+ will be photos, not video. Otherwise I would be a Youtube user and not a Flickrite!
Ultimately. everyone will choose, to use or not to use. Just because Flickr Video is there it doesn't mean you have to use it! But because it IS I now have a choice that suits me.
I'm up for renewal of my pro account again soon.... I'll be back!!!!
Well done Flickr!
BTW the point of my feedback is that I'd like to add video into comments fields. The embed code doesn't work. Can you add that to the dev list.... please? Cheers!

A lot of my contacts have already started uploading videos. It's no big deal -- to me. I like it. It has no affect on how I enjoy flickr, except to make the experience a bit richer and more interesting.

striatic :obviously we don't need to be a statistician to understand the sentiments that have been expressed here.
at least, if the flickr team wishes to pursue the video add on futher for what ever reasons, it should lend an ear to what flickr user has expressed. Maybe providing options/tailor the experience to photos/photo+video according to the user's preference.

@swisskiltbear
Well personally I use flickr to document events in my life, holidays, birthdays, whatever. During those occasions I will usually take many photographs and perhaps a couple of short video clips.
Prior to this change I had to keep the video clips seperate from the photographs, and why? They are depicting the same event so why not have them in the same set folder.

'I don't think its change people are fearing, its the similarity with youtube everybody is fearing.'
it is only similar to youtube in the most basic sense that both host video.
i mean you could also say that flickr is like "hot or not" because both allow for the sharing of photos.
youtube is probably more similar to flickr than flickr is to hot or not, but there are profound differences.
the 90 second limit on flickr, coupled with the fact that only pro accounts can currently upload, is the most profound difference.
the bulk of youtube content, and the heart of the site, is commercial content which easily exceeds 90 seconds, and only exists on youtube because it can be uploaded there for free.
even the most basic "web cam rants" that make up most of the rest of the content generally exceed 2 minutes in length. the vast majority of youtube content can't even be uploaded to flickr, for these reasons .. so i'm puzzled by how you think flickr could become some kind of "mirror youtube" .. it just isn't possible if you think about it for more than .. i dunno, 90 seconds?
'Well other cameras that take both photos and videos (My DSLR doesn't) put videos and photos in different folders on the PC'
huh? every camera with video capabilities that i have ever owned puts the video and photos in the same folder.

I'm devasted that flickr are even remotely approaching the ghastly chaos of trash that is YouTube, just to compete with Google. But I have no doubt that the opinions of hundreds and thousands of flickr members will be completely ignored on this. I really am gutted.
This could be the thing that breaks my flickr addiction at last, so maybe I should actually be grateful. But I've got so much from this community. This makes me very sad.

I would prefer video be limited to creating slideshows cleverly put to music or something rather than just video. 90s is obviously not enough time for that desirable A/V purpose. I understand the goal of limiting flickr video to 90s for the purpose of maintaining a Photography focus. In light of that spirit I would extend the ability to create slideshows of uploaded images put to music rather than supporting pure video.
Obviously I would dread exploring only to find similar stuff to YouTube. It doesn't seem like the site's focussed was really considered.
Without having a perfect understanding of how the video ties in to photos for the sake of photos, I think video would have been best left out.

golly. the participants of this thread represent "the majority of flickr users"?
you're a statistician, i take it?
So the non-participants to this thread represent a for-video "silent majority"?
You're a Republican spinner, I take it?
More seriously: I'm dead set against video. Of the things missing from Flickr, I don't think that was #1. Yet, I don't really give a flying bokeh as long as my dollars give me some basic "rights", if you will - such as choice. And no, having the "freedom" to not click on a video is not enough.
As mentioned by several others, give us a filter, and voilà. That's all we ask, and surely that need should have been easily foreseen and should easily be implemented.

@striatic
There are plenty of cameras and phones that put the photos into e.g. "My Documents\My Pictures\whatever camera\whatever subfolder" and videos into "My Documents\My Videos\whatever camera\whatever subfolder".
It may come as a shock to you, but just because you haven't used one doesn't mean they're not around and quite commonplace.
You just can't have anyone else be right for once, can you?

Just to add my two-penneth-worth, in case Flickr starts to listen to feedback from it's paying members - I am against this additional video functionality and feel that based on the fact that Flickr is built on still photography, a different site entirely should have been launched to host this additional medium.
Cheers.

'If it's breaking the layout for you, then it's high time for you to switch to 1024 x 768 because it looks fine to me.'
flickr's layout is designed to operate at 800px wide, which is sensible and lets people run flickr stuff in a smaller window, or 1024x768 with a sidebar.
the wide "protest" image breaks that layout.
'Does anyone really think that Flickr will hold itself to only 90 seconds of video, come on Stri even you know better than that.'
actually i'm pretty convinced they'll keep the limit, and that even if they don't, it'll only be extended for "pro" users - which will again prevent flickr from hosting youtube like content, because unlike youtube people will have to pay to post.

Since I've been taking short 'moving photos' of places I've been for some time, in order to briefly capture sounds and things that don't fit well in the photo format,but I always struggled to find a way of integrating them with my photos of the same place, I'm delighted to see this, and especially to see it positioned as 'long photos'.
It's great that everything integrates with the photos, in a nice clean look&feel, and none of the aggressive clutter of other video-only interfaces. Allowing the videos to run in smaller sizes in the photo stream is also very good.
I'm really impressed by the quality - much better than other video-only sites I've tried !
It's a bit of a pain that the video has to download again every time you change a page, rather than just being read from the cache.
But on the whole, this is great. Thanks.

i've owned 3 cameras [with video, that is] from 3 different manufacturers on 2 different operating systems. not one has ever put the videos and photos into different folders.
i'm not saying such cameras are non-existent, but that certainly isn't standard behaviour. for one, it assumes a folder structure that isn't present in all operating systems.

So, it seems few people are entirely happy. The pro-video people are upset the videos are "too short" at 90 seconds. The anti-video people are unhappy about videos on Flickr in general.
Wouldn't a sister site the the resources dedicated to allowing longer videos - and ideally with the option to integrate the two by user (so a link on the "so-and-so's photostream" to "so-and-so's videostream on videor" or whatever) - have kept both sides happy?
You can't please all the people all the time, but this seems to be making very few people truly satisfied.

Well for all the people supporting Flickr Video may I ask if it matters that:
Flickr staff have been promising fixes for regular flickr on improving the search,threads,comments and were saying real soon now or we are working on it.
But the whole time they were Lying to Us? working instead on Video rollout. And that doesn't concern you because now you got your video?
And it doesn't concern you that your video's may have a detrimental impact on the server's which are already being taxed on a regular basis and staff resources so they now have to deal with video issues that effect the experience of the non-video user's getting to their photo's?
And you have no concerns that the No. 1 photo sharing site will not turn into another MySpace type social site?
I guess I read the flickr community all wrong on this?

'Your comment is going to be intrepretated in some many different many dude.'
flickr's focus is sharing media created with digital cameras.
that isn't a particularly broad focus.
video is created alongside the photos on most of those cameras.
"short, flickr like digital camera clips" are not created along-side the kind of content that yahoo videos is geared toward.

It was strange to wake up to video on flickr this morning -- I mean from my contacts -- but it was also great. I do not notice any 'disturbance' in the flickr matrix because of the introduction of video. No, it's not exactly the same flickr -- it's better, in my wee, insignificant opinion.

no that's not my logic.
there's a difference between "focus" and "what's allowed".
for example, flickr's focus isn't sharing drawings, but they can be uploaded here.
i imagine you'll see "90 second CGI videos" posted to flickr in the same way you see screenshots posted to flickr.

So that's why my sets are now full of "things". No, I'm a photographer ...
I joined flickr for its dedication to photography; there are other dedicated video sites. I would much prefer that flickr did not accept video, and like others I would like to see continued dedicated investment to improving the photography experience here, not diluting it.
But at the very least I want to see a feature that allows me to exclude it from being visible in groups or searches, as I can for artwork etc.

I am disappointed with this decision to incorporate video into Flickr, since I know that my user experience here is created by photos. If I have to navigate around videos, click past them, or even mentally filter them out as I'm looking at a page -- that's spam that's decreasing the value of my user experience.
I don't really expect that Flickr will be removing the video functionality, despite the fact that many users are unhappy about it, because they've already invested the time and money into it....
So, that being said, I think from this point forward, they need to invest a LOT of development time into making photos and videos separate for those who want it.
Doesn't Flickr have any analysts on staff?

wow. that's all have to say about the 7 pages of bitching and moaning i read through. wow.
Anywho, back on topic i think, can I make a REQUEST?
I'd love to see some STATIC / preview image embedding options along side the video embedding options. This would facilitate the ability to participate in group threads ["Best NYC Video of the Week"] with more then just a link to the image, have something useful in a group description, or just generally be able to better link to your video in places on flickr and participate in the ways we've learned to participate on Flickr with static images -- without having to just allow video embedding code in these "Some HTML is OK" text boxes.

And the camera finder was broke for a while and didnt even register the D300, which loads of people have here - including me - which has no video either.
Bitching and moaning? Just putting our opinions over on a service we all pay money for.

So what? flickrs focus will remain on photographs. Should the rest of us not be able to upload short video clips because YOU don't want people to? hmmm
BTW, It's not like I'm uploading hundreds of them. I've got about 4 years worth of stuff on my flickr account and theres only about 12 videos in total.

'Most pupular cameras according to Flickr's camera finder:'
there are fewer DSLR types than point and shoot camera types.
thus, they have higher "per model" numbers.
however, there are still many more point and shoot photos on flickr than DSLR photos.
conduct a random sample from "recent photos" and you discover the truth.

But those cameras aren't creating the billions of photos being uploaded by all the snapshooters.
I think if you added up all the point and shoot cameras, versus the professional cameras, you'd find the professional equipment was numerically overwhelmed by the family snapshot equipment.

I don't have any problem with video on Flickr if (and only if) you give me the ability to choose between viewing contacts' videos and photos. I have no interest in videos, I'm only interested in photos. I don't like opening up my contacts' new uploads and automatically having videos start playing.

I really hope Yahoo provided you all with donuts this morning Heather!!! And drinks last night. What are the possibilities for adjusting the filtering system, giving folks the opportunity to "opt" out of seeing video if they don't want to on their contacts photos, etc...Or allowing to only see friends/family etc.?

Striatic, you're answer is my argument.
different sites with different focus.
So why can we not have that?

I like this video thingy mcbob Flickr introduced ... so far.
Kudos!
2 suggestions:
I'm sure they've been mentioned but I am not reading all the posts
I would like a way to filter, search and sort different media types.
It's too hard to find video right now.
I would like to be able to embed video into threads.
maybe comments too

My apologies for seeming argumentative Striatic but you are one of the few people attempting a defence.

I was an early alpha tester and member of the community before I joined the team.
When the team first came down from Vancouver in June, I wanted to throttle Stewart. Video on Flickr! The horror!. But then Derek gave me a small digital camera that enabled me to capture video and I was hooked.
What I've always loved about Flickr is the elasticity that enables all of our members to create the experience that they desire. I feel that the way that we've brought video into the Flickrverse will go a long way into ensuring that all of our members can share the moments of their life that their choosing to, be they still or moving.
If you're not into video, that's totally cool. If you are, then you have a shiny new tool in your toolbox.
Seeing stuff like "Flickr is about photography" feels strangely limiting.
{still on my first cup of tea}

@sevennine
They don't "automatically.. start playing", they are displayed as thumbnails.

Apart from Yahoo bods wanting a slice of the 'YouTube' pie and using Flickr to do it (come on - that's what this boils down to), I don't see how the inclusion of video adds to Flickr.
Surely the easiest way to share film footage with a family member is to burn it to DVD and send it to them. Or is that not what is required here? Is it that Yahoo are indeed going after the 'reality TV' generation, mind numbing, brain rotting drivel that is found on social networking sites.
Please remove this 'new feature' Flickr - it is not required and not wanted.
@ Heather - I too have a digital video camera, however I have no urge to upload my son's rugby matches, neighbourhood BBQ's or anything else caught on it.
