Smart Media Tokens are one of the most exciting developments of the Steem platform yet. So in an effort to make SMTs more accessible, I decided to put together this short animated explainer video:
Huge thanks to @eliharrigan for his fantastic help on the animation, @andrarchy for his excellent work on the script, @zenmommas for her great VO and @the-alien and @ericvancewalton for their feedback!
Feel free to share this with your friends around the web so we can let folks know just how groundbreaking this development really is.
Yours in the Chain,
Doug

That is a really nice video. Did you do that in After Effects?
Shared it on Facebook in my crypto group. I think this is the first step for a growing Steem price.
Have you seen my Steemy videos yet? I use Adobe Character Animator to make puppet videos with Steemit tutorials. I would like to create promotional videos for Steemit with the marketing team if you guys are interested in that. I think Steemy would make a very good mascot since I use the Steem logo as body for the puppet.

Question: If someone has a UIA on Bitshares, will they be able to port them over to this new SMT feature on Steemit when it launches? Will Bitshares and Steemit work together in that way, or would you have to start it all over on Steemit SMT?

OK, thank you. The question is popping up so wasn't sure if anyone knows yet. :-)
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I was thinking the same thing although I think not( you could maybe share drop from a UIA to a SMT) Also how is this different than BTS UIAs? User tokenization is now on Steem which is cool. I guess a rebranding and fresh launch of the general idea couldn't hurt and graphene is still in play. 👍

Great stuff so a website for ex drivers of Uber could use it and monetize it, Wales football supporters could start a website and monetize it, a Union could monetize it so the members can post on what benefits they want for joining a Union and the best contributors be paid.
Local hard copy newspapers about to go bust could start a website and survive by monetizing the reports from local residents and the comments, and upvotes. Online course creators could get together and monetize their courses with upvotes, comments, so viewers could be the judge for ratings for the online video courses, could cut into the profits of some big corporations who have online platforms, spreads the wealth to the course creators and not concentrate the wealth to the few big corporations like Lynda etc

They have to implement this feature first (coming 2018). But it will work similar to the User Issued Asset (UIA) tokens on Bitshares DEX. This what so many projects on Steemit use now, Voiceshares, Whaleshares, etc., to support their individual communities here.

Great video mate. Will definitely be using it in helping explain what SMTs are to people. My own STEEM Smart Media Tokens + STEEM/USD and STEEM/BTC Charts blog just doesn't have the same effect :P

Hey @dougkarr! That was a nice anim :)
I was wondering if you could send me the text to translate to Spanish ... I also can put subts to the video directly if this is ok for you. Have already done the collaboration with other people in Steemit before. For example
Just let me know. I thik this is a very important and usefull info to have in Spanish language too.
Have a nice weekend!
