Video changes everything
VideoEgg was born, well hatched really, in early 2005 when David Lerman, Matt Sanchez and Kevin Sladek were trying to crack the code on all things video (codecs, drivers and devices, oh my!). At the time, the three Yale grads were involved in a social venture that was matching non-profit organizations who needed public service announcements (PSAs) with a nationwide network of filmmakers who were itching to make video with their cool new digital cameras and desktop NLEs. After a few projects sifting through hundreds of uploaded video files in just about a million obscure formats it became clear that man, this video stuff was hard. With all of the different devices, editors, encoders and players, there really wasn't a simple, foolproof way for people to get video onto the web. They all agreed that posting video should be as easy as uploading a photo, so they set out to design and build the VideoEgg Publisher which launched at DEMOFall in 2005. Since then we've expanded the vision, focusing on other challenges around video publishing, editing, distributing and remixing. Originally located in New Haven, Connecticut, facing the prospect of another winter with "Noreasters" and hearing the call of manifest destiny, VideoEgg migrated to the milder climate of San Francisco, California and is currently nesting in a little neighborhood called South Park.
