Omnisio lets you mashup SlideShare with YouTube

May 13, 06:18 pm PST

SlideShare users who want to mashup slides with video - now you can do that using Omnisio. They have created a cool tool to do such mashups. You can see an example below. Its very nicely done. They just launched today.

One note to the Omnisio founders: Omnisio should acknowledge where the slides / video are from. For example for this talk by Merlin Mann, I am pretty sure the slides came from SlideShare - that’s where Merlin himself uploaded it to: http://www.slideshare.net/merlinmann/inbox-zero-actionbased-email
Update: Simon and Ryan from Omnisio posted below that they show the links back to SlideShare on both the player and on the Omnisio video page. Thanks!

The page for the Omnisio video-slide presentation shows the origins of the video (nicely done!). Similarly, it should show the origin of the slideshow as being from SlideShare. I think the player should also show where the original slideshow and video is from. Maybe at the end (I know real estate is precious on the player, but it should be easy enough to show it at the end).

<div><a href='http://www.omnisio.com'>Share and annotate your videos</a> with Omnisio!</div> <p>

SlideShare users, if you have feedback about video-slide integration by Omnisio, please post it here or at their blog. I am sure the founders will appreciate the feedback.

    Hi Rashmi,

    The presentation you embedded above was one of our early test cases so it doesn’t have a link back, but you’ll see all new presentations that are created by importing slides from SlideShare will link back to you. We definitely want to give credit where credit is due :)

    That was fast! Let me find a good example and update the post and the embed.

    And my apologies about not being more responsive earlier when you contacted us. We were in a really busy phase.

    Can you point me to an example? I think your site is slow right now (probably under attack from the TechCrunch masses) - and I am having hard time finding an example.

    We have refreshed this presentation with the latest data, so you should now see a link back to the original SlideShare presentation both on the Omnisio page, and at the end of the video in the embedded player above.

    Simon.

    Simon and Ryan,

    Thanks. A suggestion - why don’t you have the link back to the Omnisio page on the menu handy the whole time. I was looking for it, but could only find it at the end.
