Director also offers video publishing for those times when you simply need to embed a single video into a web page. Playback is attempted using the new HTML video element and falls back to the SlideShowPro Player when the video element is not available. This ensures seamless embedding and playback on both mobile and desktop devices.
When you're ready to embed a video, double click the video while in the Content view for the album it resides in. In the edit pane that appears, click the "Embed" button. Your clipboard now contains the proper video embed code.
Edit the HTML document where you want the video to appear. Click in the area you want it to appear, then paste. Save the HTML document, load it in your web browser, and you should see your video preview (read instructions on assigning previews) with a play button drawn on top. Clicking the preview or play button will begin video playback.
If you'd like to add your own play button, just add a playBttn parameter to the attributes section of the embed code:
attributes: {
id: "content-12",
width: 550,
height: 343,
playBttn: "/path/to/play.png"
},
We recommend using a transparent PNG file for best results.
If you'd like the video to start right away, add the autoStart attribute and set it to true:
attributes: {
id: "content-12",
width: 550,
height: 343,
autoStart: true
},
