Suggestions of some video CMS platforms?

[William.Lau]

Hi SEOmoz Community!

Looking for some suggestions on video sharing CMS platforms. I haven't messed around with video sharing for a few years now and seems like a lot of the previous ones I know about are pretty much dead like PHPmotion.

If anyone has any good experiences whether paid or free open source platforms, I'd like to hear what are some good options?

TIA!

Their are many CMS platforms available...It all depends on how you plan on using your site: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/choosing-the-right-cms-platform-for-your-website-from-an-seo-perspective

Thanks, I've been looking for dedicated video sharing CMS for a test project. I know we can do it with just most CMS but would rather have something dedicated with features specifically for a video site.

Yes I agree, If you cannot get all the features with a dedicated CMS as Rand suggests a static site without a CMS is better.

Unfortunately that is under my budget for the test :). Man I'm really stomped that no one has come up with a simple youtube clone that is up to date.

Check out Joomla.org. It’s a great CMS and they have tons of extensions. Look under their multimedia category in the extensions and I am sure you can find what you’re looking for. Lots of them are free and the paid ones don’t cost much at all.
