OK, so I'm trying to learn Fluidos II.  https://www.daz3d.com/fluidos-ii-for-daz-studio

Did some test animations.  Youtube removed it and I got a warning and have to appeal.

It is just a test render of a water animation in a multi-layered fountain.  No solicitation of any kind.  No foul language, no nudity, no violence.  Just want to be able to link to it so other people can help diagnose issues.

Where do y'all host test renders if you want to share to the forum for people to help you diagnose issues?

    appeal, its automated bots being over zealous 

    eventually a human will view it

    I have had emails from YouTube advising of this though so far not happened to me

    Thanks, Wendy.  

    But I'm still all angryangryangry

    Is there a substitute for youtube as a host?  I'm not trying to build page views, go viral, or make money.

    guess one could put a file on Google drive or dropbox or something but only Youtube embeds on the forum

    Isn't there a way that you can password it,  to make it private   (and then tell people the password?)

  • WendyLuvsCatzWendyLuvsCatz Posts: 40,085

    try waiting a bit after submitting an appeal

    depends how busy the humans are

    There's always Vimeo. I don't know if you can link to them on the forums though.

    some odf the product pages in store use vimeo for their demo.

    they won't show up in mamy browsers

    Thank you for the suggestions, everyone.  I am less angry than I was, but still not cool enough to make decisions.

    I guess I will check on password protect in youtube, and on hosting and linking with vimeo.

    You can link, but they won't embed.

    unlisted might fly past bot easier also careful about keywords title

    test or tutorial should suffice

    @Diomede

    Happens to me all the time, its a automated system like Wendy mentioned..I would submit your appeal and wait & see what happens . . But as a alternative I post my short crappy test videos on Vimeo with no worries of the autobot flagging my test animation

    PAs often simply don't list their Youtube videos, and they embed fine.  There's no password involved.

    There's bitchute as well, if you want a platform that's not particularly picky about what you upload.

    As for YT, that bot hates everyone... Even moreso now that they've given it it's head. They blamed the CCP Virus, but this is a thing they were intending to do anyway.

    If it's an MP4 or other Camtasia compatible format I can host it on one of my sites, like this:

    You just mark it private. You don't need to hand out a password. However the YT bots still examine private vids.

    there's always lbry.tv

    If it's something you just want to embed or link to for comment, leave the description blank, don't include audio, and give it some bland name like Test.  The less stuff to trigger something, the better.

    Sharecg and Renderosity lets you uploadd mp4 videos. i believe up to 1.5 gigs in size if i remeber right . the only problem with uploading featured animations on these small sites is you don't get the viewer like on youtube. but for test videos they are perfect. for features filmsI can understand wanting to reach the most possiable viewers it take a lot of effort and render time to make a animation.

    You could also buy SnagIt - apart from all the other stuff it can also record and cut videos, and upload them with one click to your included free account on screencast.com.

    I'm certain they have an AI system that misidentified your fountain as a nude.
