One Click Publishing
Getting your stuff online is now a “no brainer”shinywhitebox offer one-click publishing as a way for you to get your videos onto the web really, really easy. On top of that, we provide exceptional encoding quality with no size limits.
We’re not out to replace existing social video hosting sites (in fact our software already uploads to a few of these), rather we want to let those of you who can’t be bothered signing up to one (or those of you who don’t want the limits typically associated with existing free hosting) the ability to put your stuff online.
One Click
That’s all it takes to put your video on the web. No cumbersome browser uploading – just simple direct uploading right from the app!
Share while uploading
A draggable link is available as soon as you press “Publish”. In the OCP manager you can hover over the arrow icon and press “control + left mouse click” to drag the url to your email or web browser. Share that link immediately without having to wait for the upload to complete first.
No size limit
Upload your masterpiece in all its splendor. No limits to the upload size or length of the movie. 16m clip? 3hr clip? No problem
Encode what YOU want
Some other video sites re-compress your video to something frankly awful. We, instead, respect your artwork. Choose a compression that’s right for your audience. Everything from iPod only through to high quality 1:1 H264.
No Ads
Just your content. No other stuff to get in the way.
Ever.
Inexpensive
A great pricing plan. No hidden fees.
It’s inexpensive compared to the competition.
For the majority of users, One Click Publishing will do all you need at a fraction of the cost of other video hosting platforms. As you can see from the feature list below, OCP will let you host, embed and show your video on multiple different device types.

How much does it cost?
Short answer? Stuff all. With average usage, you can expect to pay about $1USD per month. If that.
Hosting credits
In order to use the service, you must purchase hosting credits. Hosting credits are consumed in two ways:
1. Storage – You are charged for the amount of data you store per month (on average, calculated daily) at a rate of 24 hosting credits per GB of data stored. e.g: If you store 10GB of data (on average) for one month, you’ll be charged 240 hosting credits.
2. Transfer – Hosting credits are consumed at a rate of 24 credits per GB of transfer. So if use 5GB of data viewing videos, you’ll be charged 120 hosting credits.
Example:
Lets say you upload a video 50MB in length. It turns out to be super popular and you have 50 views per day for a couple of weeks. That’s a total of ~ 3.5GB of transfer, or 8.4 hosting credits. In dollar terms that’s just 0.35c (USD). Pretty cheap eh?
