We’re a small team here at Constant Contact and we build and develop applications and tools using a variety of technologies. If it is something we think can help the business - we’re interested.

Labs is pleased to announce a new experiment for summer 2011, the Videomail project. Videomail is a system Labs has developed in partnership with VisibleGains that makes it easy for Constant Contact customers to create and share video content with their contacts.
As Constant Contact produces more and more video content, we’ve started to run into some unlikely bottlenecks in the video creation process. One of the big ones turns out to be the creation of preview thumbnails, which requires compositing a play button over a frame of video and saving out the resulting image. This simple, but still time-consuming, procedure is a problem we’ve solved for Constant Contact customers through our new Insert Video feature, but it’s still been eating up significant time internally! Rather than continue to create these images manually, Labs took a look at the problem and came up with an automated solution that uses some pretty cutting-edge browser features. Read on for details and a demo.
