Balmorhea on Muxtape
We’re very excited to premier Francis and the Lights’ new video, LIME live at Bowery Ballroom today on Muxtape.
This new HD video functionality will be available to Muxtape users soon. We know that music videos are undergoing a tremendous renaissance as high quality video technology becomes increasingly accessible, and our goal is to deliver a straightforward, high quality presentational context to match.
Francis’ video is a Vimeo Plus embed, but Muxtape will also work well with regular Vimeo and YouTube. We’ll also provide the option for embedding a Quicktime movie for the highest possible quality (960x540 at any speed and bitrate, you host the file). Stay tuned for more details.
