I have been wanting HippoVideo for years. I used the trial, was impressed and recently purchased the 3 code plan. I've just started playing with it and so far I'm happy. The Gmail shortcut buttons are great, with a teleprompter, access to video library and pre-made templates to make email faster and direct the link to a custom Sales Page. I'm hoping my plan will allow me to create a video series to use as a campaign.

Some minor hiccups so far:
Rather than directing to a sales Page or the full video upon click, I would rather direct the user to 3rd party page. That's not easily done... you need to use a workaround with their email link editor, but sometimes that url box appears in an area that's not clickable....so it's a little frustrating. I wish it was a simple option to direct the video link without using the workaround. I'm sure I can place a link on the sales page, but then it's another click the user may choose not to do, thus losing the intended effect. I'd rather avoid more clicks and more windows.

Another thing i've noticed so far is the GIF playing in email has a play button, that can not be removed...or moved... atleast not that i've discovered so far.
Lastly, the gif ends / loops, but I have no control of the timing. Would be great if whole video could play without sound or give me the option to extend the length of the gif.
Lastly, the video does not play in the users email, it plays in a new Hippo window.
All this is fairly minor for me, but may matter to others.... I'd certainly like the options to be available for the future.... Overall 5 tacos
