Premium Member George Ebersole Posted June 11, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted June 11, 2016 For those of you who upload your stuff to YouTube for exhibition or just to show as an online reel, is it worth getting Red Tube account, or do you stick a regular YouTube account?

Stuart Brereton Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 George, Google shows Red Tube to be a porn site, so it's hard to say how useful it would be for demo reel purposes... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted June 11, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted June 11, 2016 Yes, there seems to be a big difference between RedTube and YouTube Red! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Sagady Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I personally prefer Vimeo for my demo content. I like their streaming services better and if you pay for the basic membership they allow full HD and you can get some pretty good quality. Of course YouTube will allow up to 4K but their compression algorithms are still pretty brutal. Probably splitting hairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Hartman Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 George, Google shows Red Tube to be a porn site, so it's hard to say how useful it would be for demo reel purposes... :) Would really depend on the type of work you are trying to showcase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Bill DiPietra Posted June 12, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted June 12, 2016 No offense, George, but that's probably going to wind up being the typo of the year. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Field Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 This reminds me that I need to graffiti my RED One MX to read as "RED tube Mysterium-SEX" Also Youtube RED might be cool if it's one of those under the table "you can never get banned" agreements that Deviantart or Forumotion do.

Premium Member George Ebersole Posted June 12, 2016 Author Premium Member Share Posted June 12, 2016 No offense, George, but that's probably going to wind up being the typo of the year. :D Pardon me while I go crawl into a cave for a few decades :wub: On my YouTube account there was a YouTubeRed ad for something like $.03 a month or something, and I couldn't see the benefit of it unless it gave you free editing tools or something, or if they were promising a built in audience for exhibition. Linky; https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqVDpXKLmKeBU_yyt_QkItQ :P p.s. just for the record, I honestly did not know there was an "adult site" called Red Tube. That'll teach me to double check my references! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Tyler Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I've changed the topic title for you, George. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landon D. Parks Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) I have a Youtube red account I got because they kept plastering me with ads to subscribe to their ad-free service (go figure). Plus it was only 99 cents for three months promo. Im not impressed. Main difference is no ads on videos I watch - but then I used adblock prior anyway. From a content provider standpoint I see no difference. Red is basically an end-user tool rather than a tool for content creators, since it provides no real benefits to them over a free youtube acount. As for RedTube... :/ No comment.

Premium Member George Ebersole Posted June 14, 2016 Author Premium Member Share Posted June 14, 2016 Many thanks, Tim! :D Landon, that's interesting. I guess it was just something else I mis-interpreted. YouTube did some kind of changeover last year (I think around this time, actually) where they altered basic YouTube accounts, and it felt like they had created the YouTube-Red accounts for "serious users" or "serious content providers". At least that was my impression. Many thanks for the clarifications ... on all fronts! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Burke Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Go with Vimeo, much better. All the TV shows I have worked on in the past 6 or so years use Vimeo for viewing of dailies and such. Simply put Vimeo looks better and you being a visual artist, don't you want your material to look it's best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
