    Corey,

    The video clip is missing the video. Audio is fine.

      Kyle,

      Thanks for sharing this comment with me, but are you sure. I just tried the embedded video and the link to it, and I am getting the video to. I did set the blog post to publish right as the YouTube video was processing. Sometimes, youtube won’t have the high-res versions processed right away.

      If you still have the problem, let me know, but as far as I can see, the video is displaying on YouTube.
