Amazon launches Amazon Video Direct Service Users to Upload Like Youtube

Amazon Video Direct Service  : Amazon launched a service that allows users to post videos and earn royalties from them, setting up the world’s biggest online retailer to compete directly with Alphabet’s YouTube.The service, called Amazon Video Direct, will make the uploaded videos available to rent or own, to view free with ads, or be packaged together and offered as an add-on subscription.YouTube, which has more than 1 billion users generating billions of views a day, offers a similar free, ad-supported service as well as a $10-per-month subscription option called YouTube Red.

Gene Munster, a Piper Jaffray analyst, views the two platforms as separate entities. Amazon Video Direct will feature more professional, Netflix-like content, while YouTube will showcase what he called “quick snippets” and other slightly less sophisticated content.”I think that they can really coexist. Ultimately, over time, they probably will become more competitive because we’re seeing more premium content on YouTube but probably for the next several years, they’re different,” he said on CNBC’s “Closing Bell.”

Most of the people may have a doubt about the payment, Amazon will be paid either from advertising and royalties based on the popularity of the content. Else by making the videos available to buy or rent through Amazon. While creating the account, Creators will have the option of making the content available to all Amazon customers under the ad-supported model, or to collect royalties by making it available just to Prime subscribers or in a Prime video add-on subscription.

As this latest service will be seamless with Amazon’s existing video services with new content uploads simply across the Prime Video, add-on subscriptions. Amazon is also offered to fund the creators that will see it hand out a million dollars per month to the 100 top titles. It is also very important sign-up and providing exact Bank account details, tax-related details. The regular Amazon account is not at all enough to upload videos.

According to Amazon, AVD launch partners include Conde Nast Entertainment, HowStuffWorks, Samuel Goldwyn Films, The Guardian, Mashable, Mattel, StyleHaul, Kin Community, Jash, Business Insider, Machinima, TYT Network, Baby Einstein, CJ Entertainment America, Xive TV, Synergetic Distribution, Kino Nation, Journeyman Pictures, and Pro Guitar Lessons.
