Geez, I'm late in the game. But PDF is definitely the most useful in terms of collaboration with people, especially those outside your organization.

Now as far as video, geez, the possibilities are endless. For one, I could thing of assembly instructions, for the manufacturing plant, or even the end customer. These of course could be animations created in SolidWorks or some other program, or raw video shot by corporate. Currently work at a place that designs car shredder plants. These are huge, complicated plant installations, and no doubt, plant layouts with general assembly videos and installation videos would be a HUGE benefit. Good stuff. I know for sure if I got my grubby little hands on this, I'd be able to whip something up to so its usefulness to the big wigs where I currently work to convince them to invest in it company wide. You listening, Adobe?

I would use it to interact in 3D with everyone. Customers, our machine shop downstairs, everyone needs 3D.

It seems as if many customers will only look at files you send them if its something familiar, and for many eDrawings is not. Soooo......unless they can "click & look" they just ignore what I send them. I'd use video to demonstrate installation and/or procedures in new software. Also I could record some video of my screen while interrogating an assembly and send that to them as well.

As CAD Manager I would also use this for training videos or "tech support" help. It seems like creating videos accessible to everyone without being bloated can be finicky. Buried in PDF sounds like a breeze.

Like many of the comments, I spend as much time explaining how to download and use eDrawing as I do trying to get people to accept my designs. Now I have the choice, make a video on how to use eDrawing Or make a video of my project!!!!

I will use it for learning. The truth is I have no idea with this and Im planning to study it by myself.

Afterwards, when I know how to use it, I'll make some video tutorials :)

I would use Video in a PDF in a project for a class to teach "how to's" I would be so much easier teaching if the students could see a project from start to finish. I give Video in PDF the WOW factor!! Please count me in to win

Oh my gosh! I wanted to take this class for the fall semester, but can't afford this. I would use it to learn on.

I would use it to compilate a movie with the family members that have passed away, and distribute it to the cousins.

I did not know that it was even possible (video in a PDF). WOW! I could use this on projects for my nephews motocross racing (which he will be turning pro at the end of the month). Would love to give it a shot. What a great contest!

A 3D overview of design specs or a requirements document's swimlanes presented with moving graphics, or video, would be a tremendous tool!

Our field engineers are constantly asking for better visuals demonstrating our maintenance procedures. Video would really enhance our products!

I really want to win this for my 12 and 16 year old. They take online class's and they are in advanced class's at school. My son was voted student of the year for his work at school with their video news show and programs. They are always complaining about my pc not having the correct programs to do their homework assignments. So the video would be one of the projects required by my children's teachers.
I know they would use the program so much and with this their assignments would be a top notch.
My children strive for better grades and are maintaining a 4.0 and 3.65 with the coming school year approaching their school work will be even more demanding. So winning this will not only do one video on PDF but many for maybe years to come with what they will learn form this program.

Wow! I could distribute PDF sewing patterns that include video instructions for assembling the pieces.

I would use video to reduce my carbon footprint, and reduce global warming, save polar bears, get rid of harmful NOx gases, build a refuge for pandas and penguins, freeze the thawing ice caps, rebuild the ozone layer, bring back the do-do bird, and U.S. americans like such as...

Or I might do something useful like make a video of the latest CAD project I'm working on.

I would use video to update my coworkers and superiors of my work progress.
