Flickr Opens Up Video Uploads for Everyone. Almost a year ago Flickr added the ability for Pro users to upload up to 90 second videos. Today they're announcing that they've lifted the restriction to Pro users to include everyone, meaning that any Flickr member can now upload and share videos on the site. Flickr's also trying to stimulate more video uploads with two additional incentives. Pro members will now be able to upload high definition videos that all members can watch in HD, and all members can submit their video art to the Flickr Clock pool to be included in Flickr's brand new timeline view that lets members see what's happening at different moments in time.
Members with free accounts will be able to upload two videos per month, while Pro members will continue to have unlimited uploads for videos 90 seconds or less, but with the added option to upload HD content. Now that Flickr Video is for all members, and Pro members can upload HD content, are you more likely to upload and share your videos on Flickr? Online Photo Tools.
