Some of you have mentioned that you prefer youtube over Vimeo as player for our videos.

I also prefer youtube, but we can't use it anymore as our videos are ''''''''''''''shared'''''''''''' over youtube to non-paying watchers.''''''''sharing''''''' our content kills us.We exist only because of YOU, the paying Patrons that subscribe to us.So Vimeo simply makes ''''''sharing'''''' more difficult, and that is why we have to use it from now on.You can also notice that many of our older videos on YouTube will not play for you here on Patreon, this is also caused by '''''''sharing'''''''' the content and we had to turn them private - we will gradually transfer them all to Vimeo and then they will be playable again, it just can take some time as Vimeo got transfer limits.I'm sorry about that, as this is an inconvenience for you, the Paying Patron.But we don't see any other way around it right now that would not enable our content to be looted.The second thing that we would like to apologize you can see in the second picture.If you have messaged us and have not received an answer, be assured that you are not alone.We simply don't have enough workforce to manage the messages.They may seem to be a simple and fast thing to reply to a message, but with other duties that involve the production of videos, and translation of them (which is an issue for us right now - hence the scarce translation sometimes in the videos)Our Top Priority is to keep producing new content - this is something we can do at the current Patron numbers, but something else needs to be sacrificed.Unfortunately, we can't afford to hire more crew, that would handle the messages and all workforce that we have is being put into sustaining the production of the new content.If you have any suggestions or ideas, don't hesitate to say them in this post!TL/DR: Don't worry if older videos are not playing for you right now. They will be transferred to Vimeo.And if you need access to any of the private video faster, then also drop me a line here or in message and I can share private link with you via email.

Is there anyway we could get a better photo of the girl wearing headgear in this video?

BracedLife

There will be even a couple of full videos featuring her 😉

Mtl

Finally thought we would get the video of it, cant wait much longer

eabreu

I understand those problems of sharing it. I personally download the videos normally to be able to watch them with peace of mind. vimeo is a problem since this is difficult, it's more now the audio is not downloaded. But hey..... it is the price that we, the people who collaborate, must pay for those who do things wrong. Thanks for your work.

Kyle Katarn

It’s okay, I’m glad you’re protecting your amazing work :)

Kyle Katarn

You could ask one of the main girls (like Sara) to be the marketing manager! She can handle the brand image, posting on social media, replying to messages, and you can just focus on the parts you like: like production! :) Girls are great at media stuff :) Just ask!

BracedLife

She actually did that and supposed to take over completely the shooting of the videos and then... I don't really know what happened. I will forward this message to her and post back with a reply.

Rider

Sara for manager!!

BracedLife

I'm sending her screencaps of this. She replies that she was bad at making videos, that she couldn't handle them. It's NOT true. At worst, she made solid videos. This one she made all by herself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MayoMFNqgS0 A little practice and she would be great at it. She would also be a great manager and I tried to make her one, but then I don't know what happened... We made videos and worked together on and off for more than a decade. Please, write something encouraging to her. I will send her all the messages.

Kyle, help me here! I'm sending her screencaps of this. She replies that she was bad at making videos, that she couldn't handle them. It's NOT true. At worst, she made solid videos.

Wow never believed she did that leg brace video! That was one of the best leg braces ever made by you guys! And trust me I am not easy to satisfy with leg brace videos. So come on sara you are way better at this than you would think!

Kyle Katarn

Hey!! Her videos are of amazing quality!! I didn’t even notice the difference. However, it’s hard to ask someone to do something they don’t love doing. If you’re doing something you love, it’s always easy. :) I think if Sara wants to take over or run some part of the BracedLife business, she should be allowed to!! But if there is somebody else (like Curly hair, or one of the other girls) who would like to try editing or producing a video they should be allowed to try too! Somebody might find that they love it and want to continue!

Kyle Katarn

Let me ask you this… In a perfect world, what jobs would YOU love to do at BracedLife, and what jobs would you like somebody else to do? Answer these questions and I might be able to help ;)

Kyle Katarn

Maybe she doesn’t want to take over the video shooting? Maybe she just wants to handle the marketing or posting? 🤔 But BracedLife is getting so big (and StraightJacketShop) that you need more people and can’t do it all yourself!

Jarrod Barlow

i agree with boom here, that video is amazing!

Kyle Katarn

You could also off her a % of BracedLife patreon subscription 💰. That way, if she can do good marketing and attract more patrons, she will get more money! Incentive!

Recha

I have a question because to download your videos from vimeo you need to use extensions and there is no audio after downloading. Would it be possible to upload a given movie in 720p quality to an external server and add a link under the movie so that it can be downloaded to disk? When the videos were on youtube, there was no problem with the audio after downloading, but I understand that there is currently no other way. I greet you. Recha fan of your videos for years.

Lars Becker

dont worry you make a good Job best Side in the Web

Lars Becker

you can download by Vimo

Larry Greenstein

Where is the second picture, who is that pretty girl in the DLACs, will there be a ser based on those casts ans, when will a new multiple cast set come out? I know its a lot of questions but I have had some money issues along with computer problems which I am trying to resolve. I know you guys, and gals are perfectionists but I so hope to give the full patreon amount of pledging but I and many others would be prompted to up our pledged all the sooner IF there was a new release of dental brace and big and/or multiple casts weekly, or as soon as possible so the backlog which must be huge by now, of unreleased video and photo sets, becomes smaller and then return to a release-as-soon- as ready schedule! I know its difficult especially when worker aren't available or the COVID virus hits so, please try and hang in there. I love your work and especially love models Sara, Cheryl, Betty and even Wendy! I'd like to see the new young blonde model in DLLCs or DLACs!

Lord Orin

And as for new content previews? Will they be uploaded on both channels or vimeo only?

BracedLife

Yes, yes, and yes! Loads of combo and multiple casts are incoming. We don't have a backlog per se, we just try to make lots of videos in advance, so our release schedule is uninterrupted by any events. We didn't have any month in which we didn't release a new video, even during the pandemic.

BracedLife

Like me personally? The best part is being a model! Sometimes you just lay there and cute girls are taking care of you.

boom

What about a 2 video per month cycle? Please both the cast aand brace lovers?

Kyle Katarn

Haha it sounds like a dream! Which model are you? 🤔

Conrad Draper

I totally understand! Thank you for being transparent with us. I sure hope we get to see the ring frame again someday! Full body cast?

Lord Orin

Are more Hip spica cast videos coming? I'd absolutely love to see single hip spica video with crutches in it!

BracedLife

Currently, we do release 2 full videos per month. One older video and one new video. Of course, it would be possible to make and release 2 or more completely new videos each month, but for such production capacities, we would need to double our Patrons number, which I don't think is possible. We are a too-tiny community.

BracedLife

Yes! We have at least a few hip-spica videos in line for release.

Lord Orin

That's super awesome, I love your spica casts, can't wait to see them!

Hip_spica_cast_love

Do you guys offer a casting service, like paying you to put me in big plaster cast like a hip spica or shoulder spica or even full and half body casts ?

Larry Greenstein

I don't see any mechanism in place anywhere here for downloading videos on vimeo. I just upgraded my membership from the $5.00 level to the $35.00 but the inability to download videos makes it to result in no additional benefits to the subscriber. In addition, Vimeo's website says a person has to subscribe to Vimeo itself in order to download. So, what is the method of downloading from the website do I can watch the videos later from my files? This is the link explaining that a subscription to Vimeo is required: https://vimeo.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/229678128-How-to-download-a-video

BracedLife

I know that and I would prefer to use youtube, but in the post, I explained why we can't use it anymore and need to use Vimeo instead.

BracedLife

Not at this moment, but it can change in the future.

tom_cast

Its a pitty that this is neccessary, but we want this page to be alive for longer, so we have to live with this. There are some good new Videos available, so I have purchased a month of Tier4! Keep that up!

ekaj

Do you know when this video is planned to release? Love your videos but I wish we could get orthodontic videos more frequently. Thanks for the videos!

BracedLife

b-b-b-but we just had an orthodontic video release!

ekaj

Oh I know :) I was just curious about this video in particular. The orthodontic videos seem like they are typically 3-4 months apart. If there was anyway to get a preview or short clip of the upcoming headgear videos each month leading up to the main video release that would be a great way to make the orthodontic content seem more frequent. Just a thought, but thanks again
