A number of improvements today…

You will now see random background images in your Editor. This feature was available before but now it is enabled by default. You can still choose a specific background in the Channel Settings though - ‘Grass’ is rather nice :-)

We’ve introduced a clip counter in the Editor so now you know how many clips you have in your library. This helps out with managing the 100 clip limit announced a couple of days back, which will be implemented later this weekend.

We’ve also improved the navigation of the site - a click on the WorldTV logo will now take you to the homepage. We will be rolling this ‘click the logo’ feature across the site and there may still be a few more places we need to change.

We’ve added a ‘Why not create your own channel at WorldTV?’ promo message to the Player which will help convert casual viewers into community users of the site. Don’t worry, you can remove it if you wish (see below for more). The message should benefit everyone though, as it will mean more viewers checking out other channels. If you want to help us build the WorldTV community, please consider leaving it enabled for a while.

If you prefer to remove it, you can disable it in your Channel Settings. It will always be our philosophy to give channel owners this kind of ‘opt-out’ control, as we think it’s important to do this.

The ring binder on the Editor is gone! Some of us are sad to see it go, but hey, most people weren’t crazy about it. We’re working to spruce up the design in general, and some newly added transparency to the Editor is also a new feature today. It means the background image shows through a bit more.

That’s your lot for now… more improvements coming soon!
