Man is Andy Jenkins good. I have just finished watching video 3 called “Traffic Boss” in his The Video Boss launch series and after watching the first two videos(The Little Boss was excellent) I am impressed with the quality and content about video marketing.
The beginning of the video is exactly like what Google did for their super bowl ad with a bit of andy’s humor added . I guess this is not surprising considering Andy is launching this product about internet video marketing.
This Traffic Boss video in a nutshell is all about the following key areas
which for you and me means it contains the following good content.
So, here are the best detailed bits from the video:

Save as mp4 file with H.264 codec
The video size should be either 640×480 or 1280×720 (720p)
Make the bit rateĀ larger than normal – 1500kbps. audio – 128kbps. 2x bigger than on own server.
A few great tips were shared to speed videos up by cutting out bits to jump forward, adding video actions to e.g. zoom into parts of your screen and of course adding music to your video- 25% volume if you are doing a voice over
