A new video player

Good viewers of the Sentinel multimedia blog,

We’ve added a new video player to the Sentinel web site. We’ve installed a Brightcove player, which allows you to view video on the home page, to easily share video, to embed it in your own page or blog, to email it with one click, or to subscribe on RSS feed.

(http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1630487506?action=rss).

We hope it’s a better experience for you, and a little more visually pleasing.

New video will be posted through that player, and you can find it on the Sentinel home page, but this blog will remain active as an archive and as home to slide shows. We’ve posted more than 500 videos and slide shows on this blog in the past two years. Here are links to some of our favorites:

A ride on the Giant Dipper

Halloween in Santa Cruz

Viana Carelli reunited with grandparents

The Grandma of the Dump

Summit Fire slide show

Fire coverage

Last run of the Sentinel press

Killer whales visit Monterey Bay

Thanks for viewing,
Tom Moore, Online Editor
