Online publishers can use the Magnify to allow videos that are relevant to them and their users to be discovered and shared. To "Magnify" a video, you need to submit it to one of the many communities that are building their video repertories on the Magnify platform. This means that over time, user-generated video will get better, and searching for video will become more relevant and useful. Free to use.
