1. Using GirlyVue
Q: Is GirlyVue Free?
A: Yes. GirlyVue offers 1Gb of free video storage.
Q: How many videos can I upload with the free 1Gb?
A: It really depends on the sizes of the videos that you upload. A 60 second clip is about 6 mb, but the size of video also depends on the quality - with better quality you get bigger files. Though several video file formats are supported, we recommend that you use the Windows Media Encoder (*.wmv file format) to compress your videos - this is the best compromise between the size and quality of video prepared for web.
Q: What is the largest size video that I can upload?
A: 100mb file.
Q: Do I need any software to upload videos?
A: No. You do not need additional software downloaded on your computer to enjoy GirlyVue. We have built the tool to be user friendly with any web browser.
Q: How do I change my password?
A: : To change your GirlyVue log in password, when you log into your account, you have this ability in the 'Edit Profile' section. Once you click on the 'Edit Profile' link, scroll to the bottom and you will see where you can assign a new password.
Q: What video formats can I upload into GirlyVue?
A: GirlyVue is able to accept the majority of video formats. To find exactly what GirlyVue supports
contact us.
Q: How do I share my videos?
A: Join GirlyVue by registering as member. Once you have joined, use the Upload video section to browse your hard drive and upload your video.
Q: How do I remove a video?
A: To remove one of your videos, simply go to
My videos page, Click on the 'delete' link next to the video you would like to remove.
Q: How do I invite friends to GirlyVue?
A: In order to invite friend to join GirlyVue, please
click here and you will be able to send them an invitation.
Q: How do I embed videos on my MySpace, Friendster, Blogger and eBay profiles?
A: On each video page there are Player Tags for embedding this video into websites outside GirlyVue. All you have to do is copy the contents of the field (
view screenshot) and paste them into the HTML of your blog record or website code. Some blog services do not allow HTML tags, or allow them partially. In this case embedding a GirlyVue video can be impossible.
Q: I'm worried about people seeing my private videos. Can I keep videos private?
A: Yes. You don't have to make your videos public. When you upload your video you can choose the type of accessibility - public or private only. Videos marked "Private" will be available only to people whom you are calling friends. The lists of your friends and people who call you their friends (you can watch their friends only videos) can be found on "My Account" and "My Friends" pages when you are logged in.
Q: What is a GirlyVue Net or GirlyVue Community?
A: Members invite friends and family to join their community. Those friends and family in turn invite their own friends and family. As a result, your GirlyVue net or GirlyVue Community now has 2 degrees of separation. As the process continues, your degrees of separation will grow increasing your GirlyVue net. You'll find that the Ocean is smaller than you think because you are connected to more people than you think.
Q: Can I still be a member even if I do not have any videos to upload?
A: Absolutely! We encourage everyone who enjoys watching the video to join because it allows you to vote, comment and feel like part of the fastest growing online video sharing community! You are also able to save videos into your 'Favorites' section.
Q: Why do I have members that are already my 'friends' once I join? I do not know these people.
A: Actually, those two members are GirlyVue employees. We like to show new members how the friends system works. Remember, they do not have access to videos you mark 'friends'. They only have access if you add them to your GirlyVue Community.
2. Miscellaneous
Q: Does GirlyVue allow all videos? What is your policy on pornography and extreme violence?
A: No, GirlyVue does not allow such videos. GirlyVue currently does not allow videos that contain nudity, profanity or extreme violence in any way. Content deemed inappropriate will be deleted and the member will be warned. Repeat violators will be removed from GirlyVue.
Q: How can I improve my video?
A: We encourage you to edit your videos with software such as
Windows MovieMaker (included with every Windows installation), or
Apple iMovie. Using these programs you can easily edit your videos, add soundtracks, etc.
Q: What capturing software do you recommend?
A: There are series of software that can be used for capturing. Some of them are supplied by video camera manufacturers. Of course, it is always better to use software made especially for your type of camera, although we recommend that the beginners use
VirtualDub software if there's no capturing software supplied by manufacturer.
The program is easy to download and install, and you don't need to spend much time adjusting it.
Q: How can I make a short video clip when I have a large continuous recording?
A: It's simple and we provide step by step instructions. Please visit the GirlyVue How To Tutorial to learn how to capture your clip and prepare for uploading.
