EqDaily Youtube video archive



Equestria Daily has featured over 1000 videos since its inception. In Seth's own words: "That's crazy!" Crazy awesome! Sifting through them all, trying to find a specific one that slipped the mind during a daily Like/Favorite binge, or just hoping to stumble upon something nifty in the archives can certainly be cumbersome. (I can attest to this.) Why not make like Twilight Sparkle and utilize a little more...organization? Hence, the Equestria Daily Youtube video archive.

Found here, the EqDaily Youtube channel compiles all of the videos featured on Equestria Daily and categorizes them by type - PMV, music, trailer, and so on. Also available are monthly lists containing every video featured during a specific month in reverse chronological order. (My initial idea was to employ the standard Favorites list for that, but Youtube only provides newer accounts a Favorites limit of 650. Augh! It's 2011, dudes.) Searching for a specific kind of video or trying to track a video down from a while back ought to be quicker with this in place. Moreover, it's the perfect venue for a spontaneous pony video marathon!

Seth is leaving maintenance of the channel solely up to me for now, since I built everything from the ground up. As such, if you cannot find a specific video that you are certain was posted to the blog but has not been archived at the channel, please e-mail me at Tekaramity@equestriadaily.com or send a message to the EqDaily channel via Youtube. For sanity purposes, I'm armed with a formidable Excel spreadsheet to quickly double-check whatever is sent in to me. I must emphasize: please do *not* contact Seth, Cereal, or Phoe about the channel for the time being. I'm open to feedback, myself. The archive is for everyone's benefit. Have any ideas for further streamlining the place? Know of any resources that would augment the video library? Whatever the case, send all relevant questions/suggestions/diatribes to Tekaramity@equestriadaily.com or take advantage of the wondrous Youtube message system. Props to each of you whose videos have been featured on this site - your video(s) may literally be one of thousands, but each has definitely contributed to this incredible pony phenomenon. Thanks to all for your tips, and happy video surfing! (Update: By Celestia's beard! 500+ subs and #52 most subscribed this week! You guys rock.)

EqDaily Youtube video archive

**BONUS** fun[?] stats:
  • More videos were posted in May (about 310) than in Jan/Feb/Mar/Apr combined (about 250).
  • June saw about 420 videos posted - an average of 14 per day. Aiya!
  • PMVs and music endlessly battle to top the individual count, both tallying about 300 to date.
  • About 2% of videos featured here are no longer available. Sadface.
  • Two bronies in particular bring the awesome to the music section: infinitydash has about 20 pony music uploads, while JunkiesNewb has about 40! Subscribe to them both, if you haven't yet; moreover, both of them deserve many thanks and delicious cakes for their efforts.

Wait, is inception right? Wouldn't it be conception? I'm aware I could be wrong, but...

...Do we need to go deeper?

Roman500 said...

Cool another channel to subscribe to. Thanks Tekaramity!

flashgen75 said...

My sweet goodness, that is a lot of pony.

Equesception. So it is like Seth is doing the balance of Fanfics, Phoe is doing drawing, Cereal is doing random thhings, and Tek is doing media?

What with the "aiya"?

...Chinese?

Anonymous said...

This is a really neat idea. It'll be really useful, thanks!

S.Aura Knight said...

Allow me to thank you for your amazing work at gathering all this up and putting it together, Tek! I subbed, and am definitely going to go through all this awesome at some point or another.

And congrats to everyone whose had a video featured! All your awesome work is much appreciated. Woosh!

InfinityDash said...

HOLY CRAP. This is awesome! I missed out on a lot of the earlier stuff so now I get to go back and spend hours (and hours... and hours) watching these! Actually that would be an interesting fact to find out - how many hours of pony fan videos are there?!

Also thanks for the mention ^_^

Your effort is MUCH appreciated Tek! (and everyone else at EqD)

Sir Leadhead said...

welp, it's official. the newest member of the blogbronies is awesome.

he needs a fan-made OC like the rest of them. I suggest we make him a zebra

Shadowdemon137 said...

Oh Tek, I have a question. Are you guys still going to be posting the videos up here on EqD, or will they only be featured on the Youtube site? Just want some clarification.

kwj said...

oh my GOD¡¡¡¡

subscribed already yay i'm gonna watch hours of ponies

Sterling_Facade said...

I don't think I've ever seen Tekaramity post anything before also organized videos ~yay.

Anonymous said...

SO MUCH FRIGGIN PONY!!!

Great Idea btw

Anonymous said...

This is beyond awesome. Organization is the first step to taking over the...easily finding stuff our non Brony friends might like.

Sethisto said...

Tek has even higher levels of OCD than me!

Bronies said...

LOL all my hard work was defeated in one stand at once. :(

Good work guys. Keep up good work.

Randomjack said...

As somebody whose sound issues lead to four days of PMV's to catch up on...

...I think this is a very, very good idea. Awesome channel.

@Shadowdemon137

I would also like to know this.

If the videos won't be posted here I'll finally have to get myself a YouTube account.

Undine Illusion Knight said...

Totally tubular, dude! I can't wait to start digging through this. Thanks for putting all these videos together.

Tekaramity said...

Thanks, all! ^_^ I'm hoping this archive proves to be a valuable resource for pony fans everywhere.

@Anonymous

I'm not officially assigned to anything, actually. The video archive (at least, at this level of execution) was simply my idea and solo project. Seth still handles the large majority of on-site content.

@Anonymous

I misspoke. I actually meant to say "ayia" in reference to Tribes 2. I might edit the post to correct that.

@S.Aura Knight

You're absolutely welcome! ^_^ And yes, every single pony video creator deserves major props.

@InfinityDash

Right back at'cha, dash! I'm extremely grateful for all of the music rips you've uploaded.

Assuming the average video posted to Eqdaily is 3 minutes long, there are over 50 hours of video content archived on that channel. Yep - over 2 days' worth of nonstop pony!

@Sir Leadhead

One of my best friends actually already designed me an OC pony. I'll ask her to draw a solo shot of him and upload it to dA so I can link to it whenever someone inquires about his existence.

@Shadowdemon137

Videos will still be posted here. As long as I have Internet access, I'll update the archive channel at midnight to include all of the previous day's featured videos.

@Sethisto

Yes I do.

Shadowdemon137 said...

@Tekaramity
Ah, I see. Thanks Tek! Awesome job again with this stuff that would kill me to do :)

AliceInChains said...

And I still insist that Seth hates me.
*shakes fist angrily*

Cereal Velocity said...

Heeey.

Where's mine? D:<

Tekaramity said...

@Cereal Velocity

Your videos? Under "Misc." You don't get your *own* folder yet, sire. ^_~

Cereal Velocity said...

@Tekaramity

Oh.

hey, guys, guess who missed the Load More button?

Tekaramity said...

@Cereal Velocity

It's okay, Scootaloo. Someday, you'll be at least 20% as awesome as Dashy~

Skylark Torch said...

This sounds cool, now we need something for stockpiling all the pictures posted. I have been downloading them like crazy, but I still have at least 20 bookmarked pages to download... And I haven't been able to find them all either!

Tosxychor said...

Magnificent. Truly magnificent.

GabuEx said...

WOW. This must've taken an ungodly amount of work. Major kudos!!

Desert Rose said...

Yay its rose luck!!!!!!
I love that pony so much

GabuEx said...

@Cereal Velocity

I missed it too. I was wondering where my videos went for a bit there as well. :P

Ryan said...

Nice job Tekaramity. I never checked all of them...with the exception of some of the popular ones. So I'll definitely be checking some of those videos. So MUCH pony! Who knows, it might make me find new things I can enjoy, and appreciate em!

Anonymous said...

The guy who created the "Space Marene" video said he might re-upload it to Vimeo if people ask him too. (Vimeo will ignore copyright claims that they know are bogus or have no legal basis.)

Senn555 said...

Tek.

You are awesome.

That is all. ^_^

Anonymous said...

I just thought of another PMV I'd really like to see, partially utilizing the CMC's rock song sequence from "The Show Stoppers"...THE FINAL COUNTDOWN by EUROPE!! Or has that already been done? I didn't check the PMV archive on Youtube.

AWESOME
Had a funny feeling Infinitydash would pop up! I saw his playlist W/ JSRF and I just had to click.
