WHAT IS THE youTubeify EXTENSION?

Here is a link to a short video that explains What is youTubeify? and demonstrates slideshow styles and music / voiceover capability

youTubeify is a Google Chrome extension that will create a slideshow directly from Pinterest Pin images or Google Image search images

Clicking the youTubeify extension opens an image chooser overlay which allows you to select the images of interest

Now, Hover with your mouse to choose a group of Images and Click the YOUTUBE icon at the top of any image to Create

The image chooser overlay will close and a cloud rendering engine will do the rest and will give you the job status via email

Need an MP4 video slideshow? Just choose any of the 50+ video styles to make a video you can upload to your YouTube channel eg: "Triple"

Need a GIF? Just choose any of the 8+ "GIF Maker" style options slow, medium or fast and size options 480, 720, 1080

Need to get the raw images? Just choose any of the "Download Images" style options (Images will be standardized as jpg 1080px high and zipped)

WHY USE YOUTUBEIFY?

The youTubeify extension is simple to use, just install the chrome youTubeify extension and then "Hover & Click" to choose the images you want

Record your own audio voiceover slideshow, create a slideshow for YouTube or standalone use, create a GIF or simply download images all directly from Pinterest or Google images

Easily select large groups of images using the group dropdown size selector anywhere on the page

Select images one by one in any order using the image selection checkboxes again anywhere on the page

Image rendering and audio processing is all done "in the Cloud" using Google Cloud Compute Engines and not on your machine

You get a ready to use GIF or HD MP4 video file that you can use, not just on Giphy or YouTube, but anywhere you want

There are no advertisements, promotions or watermarks of any kind added to your images

Image files are all handled transparently - no need to upload / download images

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE MY VIDEO?

It depends on how many images and what style you choose and how busy our servers are but the average time is about three minutes for 8 Images

HOW MANY IMAGES CAN I USE FOR MY VIDEO?

The current maximum is 128 images. The default selection is 8 images. Change the number of images to use using the "Count" dropdown Image selector. For example, if your Board has say 35 Images, the dropdown Image selector will add a 35 Image option to show choices of 8,16,24,32,35 Images selection

MY BOARD HAS MANY IMAGES - CAN I SELECT IMAGES FROM ANYWHERE ON MY BOARD?

Yes! Just scroll down through your images until you see the images you want. The image counter will automatically update as you scroll to show how many Images have been added to the chooser

WHY ARE IMAGES GROUPED IN BLOCKS?

Images are automatically grouped in blocks of 8 to make it easy for you to select many images at once

CAN I CHOOSE IMAGES ONE AT A TIME?

Yes! Simply click the checkbox in the upper left hand corner of each image you want to include. You can choose any number of Images between 8 and 128 Images. The "Count" dropdown Image selector will switch to show the number of Images selected and will simply keep incrementing 1,2,3,4... as you add Images. Again to illustrate, if your Board has say 35 Images, then you can choose any number of Images 8,9,10,11...32,33,34,35 from a minimum of 8 Images up to the maximum of 35 Images

CAN I CHOOSE THE IMAGE ORDER?

Group voiceover: Click the red microphone icon and recording will start - after recording a playback icon will appear
