Lightroom plugin

Adding audio and video

Adobe Lightroom doesn't export audio or video assets, so to load either you have to go around the application to incorporate them. This chapter will show you how.

Adding background audio

Step one: Upload audio file

To assign an audio file, you first must place it in an accessible place online. Connect to your web server, and upload the MP3 file you'd like to use anywhere you want. Next, load the mp3 file in your web browser using an absolute path (e.g, http://yourdomain.com/mp3/album.mp3) to ensure you have the correct URL. When you've verified the URL works, copy the URL to your clipboard, then proceed to step two.

Step two: Assign audio file url

Open the "Output Settings" panel, and scroll down to the "Audio" section. Click inside the AUDIO/File URL field, then paste. When complete press the Tab key to complete the change.

Step Three (optional): Add an audio caption

By default, SlideShowPro Player for Lightroom will read the ID3 metadata in your MP3 file and display the song title and artist as your audio caption. If you'd like to override this with your own caption, click inside the AUDIO/Caption field, and enter your text.

Note: Flash Player 7 and later supports ID3 1.0, ID3 1.1, ID3 2.3 and ID3 2.4. If no metadata appears, you can convert your MP3 file's ID3 tags to a supported version in iTunes by right-clicking on an MP3, selecting "Convert ID3 tags...", and choosing one of the aforementioned versions.

Adding video

Step one: create/move video

If you don't already have an FLV/H.264, create one using Adobe Flash Video Encoder or other video creation tool. Move the published file into "gallery/album1/images/".

step two: edit xml

Open "images.xml" and add an img element to your album that contains the video's file name:

<img src="video.flv" />
Note: If you are planning on using SSP/Mobile, you should choose the H.264 video format as discussed here: Tips-EncodingVideo
