Are you accepting applications from outside the EU (I am in Canada)?


Hi Stealthfocus,

We do have several people working remotely (for example Jeff works from SF), and we do accept applications from all over the world.


Is French fluency required?


To be honest, it is a plus, but not speaking french is not a definite show-stopper if you're the right person. Send us an email at job [at] stupeflix.com


Would you hire an apprentice?


Hi Sargeros,

I actually started as an intern, knowing next to nothing when it came to Image Processing. If you are motivated and willing to learn, there might be something we can do. Send me your resume at jean [at] stupeflix.com.


The periodic calendar provides a map to this math: http://periodiccalendar.com/learn/


Thanks, Jeff! The key to the Periodic Calendar is identifying that there are seven types of years, depending on the day of the week that starts it off. At first I thought I needed to make 7 calendars to cover the possibilities, but my aha moment came with the idea of the Gregorian Isotopes, which flip our focus from the day of the month to elements based in days of the week that exist on an array of days of the month.

The core idea is that August 10th is a semi-meaningless count of the days, whereas the real information lies in today being Sunday.


just rotate the camera view to landscape orientation, it will switch to 16:9 capture


Only comparing the developer offering here.

Our main product, the video creation API, differs from Animoto API in a zillion ways that can be summed up by flexibility. Also, access is $30/mo, instead of I believe $30k upfront - OH, not public.

Then the 15 new APIs covered in the Forbes article are completely new and do not exist at Animoto or anywhere else as an ensemble of web services. Things like extrating a frame from video, detecting faces in photos, stabilizing videos, detecting beat in music. Our goal is to address the broader spectrum of developers and offer a complete toolkit of services to quickly build apps that process UGC.

Some of the new services exist as standalone APIs from some great folks like encoding.com zencoder.com (transcode), cloudinary imgix (photo serving), lambda labs (face detection), neospeech (TTS).


Thanks jmathai,

[I'm the OP & guy in the video]

The 15 new APIs are a suite of specific services to quickly transcode, resize, slice & dice all kinds of media assets. They're meant to quickly build UI features around UGC media for web & mobile apps. Yes: if media asset management is the core value proposition, these services may be used to rapidly prototype and test new features, rather than build the core product. We do however have customers in the photo sharing space. The majority of them are either starting apps, or building UX quickly - for instance we've powered promotional experiences for all kinds of large brands (Coke, Visa, Samsung, Nike) e.g. jordan.com/liftoff

Our core product is the video creation API: send a XML description of the composition of a video, it renders a video file.

The video messaging was more mass media than HN.


Thanks for the response. I'll have a deeper look at the APIs. There might be something in there that's useful to us.

I think the promotional/brand/agency experiences is a really big market in need of ways to quickly build and deploy apps.


Fantastic tool, can't wait to try it. I agree this is kickstarter worthy. Looks like the OSG bindings and pane makes it easy for devs to hack motion design, I wonder what will come out of that.


excellent!
