We moved the ‘bullseye’ to a more recognizable ‘upload here’ link instead! I don’t think a lot of non ‘power-users’ knew the bullseye even existed

Hey there!

We removed the bullseye because we felt like the new multi-select functionality made it obsolete. You can upload a bunch of medias, then shift-select them and drag them all to a section at once.

Alternatively, you can create a new section and upload your videos directly to the section, as Jeff said.

Your flattery is always welcome! I like the bulls-eye for when I want to directly upload a video to a specific section and don’t want to wait for an upload before I can move it. It appears the “upload here” is only availble for new sections but I often need to add to pre-existing ones.

Also does this mean this functionality to assign upload sections is no longer available for the upload widget? I was really liking the ability to give my clients an upload function and the video going into a specific section directly.

I think that is a good idea! It’s not something that we were planning on doing, but we’ll consider it for a future update. In general, we try to encourage people to organize videos into a bunch of smaller projects rather than one huge one, but I know there are situations out there where that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

When are you guys going to add the ability to download multiple files at once (like a checkbox and “download selected” option)? I’ve been asking for this for a year!

I don’t miss the bull’s eye, but a pin the tail on the donkey would be the bee’s knees! Do I get a +1 for being a jackass?

Yes. Yes you do.

Hey Mike,

Two comments on this one, the first, which is pretty cool, is that you can move media before it’s done uploading.

The second is that I could be completely wrong in terms of ‘power users’ and the bullseye! Certainly didn’t mean to be insulting or denigrating about power/non-power users!

It would be ultramaximus to be able to SORT inside of a project, just like you can sort projects themselves. Inside of a project, the ability to sort media by: Section, Name, Date, Etc. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

I actually can no longer drag videos. I’m uploading right now so don’t want to refresh and will test again later but I’m on FF 14.01.

Thanks Chris! Sharing individual videos is an idea we keep toying around with. The thing that holds us back is that managing permissions for individual videos becomes really hard to manage and visualize for people. Do you have a huge screen with a matrix of checkboxes for each video? Let me know if you have some ideas about how it could work.

We love making features for power users like you guys (and ourselves), but we try to balance it with keeping things simple and easy to use, especially for new users. I am especially wary of changes that add to the conceptual complexity of the product. Certainly if you could share individual videos in a project it would add a lot of power, but at the same time it makes a lot of other features more complicated and harder to understand.

First, make sure you have ring dips down pat (i.e. can do 10 in a row). It doesn’t hurt to go *a little lower* on your ring dips that your usual range of motion, since during the transition of a muscle-up, you’ll be pretty low. However, don’t overdue it because you can hurt yourself going to far.

A good way to practice the transition is to get a resistance band, put it between the rings, then “sit” in it to assist your muscle ups. Here’s a good demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbEUM6KQNzg

Finally, when you get ready to do the muscle-up, work on a good kip and when you pull yourself up, think of doing the biggest sit-up in your life. That energy will propel your upper body forward and hopefully put you in the bottom of your dip. It may help to start with a false grip, which shortens your range of motion and better prepares you to transition to the dip. If you’re shorter, you can probably skip the false grip entirely, but ymmv.

Good luck!

Haha, I love that these comments have turned into a crossfit thread! Appreciate the tips! Will need to practice my kipping. I’ve never done any kipping while doing pull ups, so I’ve got a lot to learn.

We definitely hear you, and we talked a lot about sorting while working on this. Let’s just say that one of the main purposes of this update was to give us a strong technical foundation so we can do really cool stuff on the Project page moving forward.

I need to work on my vigor. Maybe more caffeine?

Come by the office to help!

You guys are Crazy, I love watching you videos, you prove one thing you can have fun while you work, what ever you do do not change that format it works.

Looks good. Thanks for the update!

I love how you had the man upside down, so you could track how many people went back to confirm. Including me multiple times.
