Thanks for that Victoria.

I’m sure the global leaders, Panasonic and Samsung will be pleased to hear Adobe is catching up. Don’t seem to realize that Flash is dead and connected TV, CSS, HTML5 and JavaScript is the future!

The programs are written in different languages, so no, it's not a copy/paste job.

That said, I heard a whisper on the grapevine that a YouTube plug-in is already underway by a certain third-party, so hopefully by LR4's release date....

I can’t believe it - you ignore the most important video service on the net and smart TV. This should be automatic. The ability to set up a You Tube account is readily available in Premiere elements. Can’t you simply copy and paste the code across?

99jon,

The Publish Service APIs in Lightroom 4 will allow third party develoeprs to create publish plug-ins that can connect to services like YouTube. If we get enough interest or demand in that workflow we'll consider adding the functionality natively.

Regards,

Tom

I’m just loving the improvements for video formats. Especially the ability to trim videos by setting in and out points, grab jpeg stills from video clips, and the creation of pre-sets to enhance the quick develop tweaks. I just tried making a virtual copy of my MOV file and switched between B&W and sepia. Fantastic!

I also love the smart collection where I can quickly view all videos regardless of which folder they are stored in on the hard drive. The extension of the full force of the DAM system to rate, color code and classify video files like stills is increasingly important.

The biggest omission is the absence of YouTube alongside Facebook and Flickr. Clearly you guys are all photographers - stuck in the past or simply never using the full potential of your DSLR to shoot HD movies.
