Adding a movie to your website

00:00:06,873 --> 00:00:08,875
A QuickTime movie or YouTube video
3
00:00:08,875 --> 00:00:11,144
is a great way to make
your web site more engaging,
4
00:00:11,144 --> 00:00:13,380
and with iWeb it's easy to do.
5
00:00:14,147 --> 00:00:16,383
To add a QuickTime movie to your site,
6
00:00:16,383 --> 00:00:18,885
click the "Add Page" button
7
00:00:18,885 --> 00:00:20,353
and choose the "Movie" template.
8
00:00:24,958 --> 00:00:26,659
On a "My Movie" page
9
00:00:26,659 --> 00:00:29,329
all the placeholder text can be replaced easily
10
00:00:29,329 --> 00:00:31,731
by just clicking on it and then typing in your own.
11
00:00:32,932 --> 00:00:34,934
Now to add the movie
12
00:00:34,934 --> 00:00:36,836
to do that click "Movies".
13
00:00:38,104 --> 00:00:40,974
Here you have access to all
your movies on your Mac
14
00:00:40,974 --> 00:00:42,609
and you can easily preview any of them
15
00:00:42,609 --> 00:00:43,843
by double click in it.
16
00:00:46,179 --> 00:00:47,447
Once you find the one you want
17
00:00:47,447 --> 00:00:49,349
just drag it to the placeholder movie.
18
00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:53,753
With the inspector you can change
how the movie will look on your site.
19
00:00:53,753 --> 00:00:55,755
Click "Inspector",
20
00:00:55,755 --> 00:00:57,791
and then click the "QuickTime" inspector.
21
00:00:59,125 --> 00:01:00,794
To change the poster frame,
22
00:01:00,794 --> 00:01:03,596
which is the picture that shows
when the movie is not playing,
23
00:01:03,596 --> 00:01:06,599
drag the poster frame slider
until you see the frame you want.
24
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:10,103
And you can change the text
for the link to the movie page
25
00:01:10,103 --> 00:01:12,705
by changing the name of
the page in the site sidebar.
26
00:01:14,774 --> 00:01:16,476
If you decide to add a YouTube video
27
00:01:16,476 --> 00:01:18,978
to your web site, that's easy too.
28
00:01:18,978 --> 00:01:21,448
Just select a page where you
want the video to appear
29
00:01:21,448 --> 00:01:23,283
and then click "Widgets"
30
00:01:23,283 --> 00:01:25,351
and drag the YouTube widget to the page.
31
00:01:27,053 --> 00:01:29,656
Once you drop the widget
you can resize the video window
32
00:01:29,656 --> 00:01:31,624
by dragging the corners.
33
00:01:31,624 --> 00:01:33,660
To move it around just drag it in the middle.
34
00:01:34,894 --> 00:01:36,229
In the text field
35
00:01:36,229 --> 00:01:38,465
add new video URL and that is.
36
00:01:39,566 --> 00:01:42,168
You can find the URL on YouTube.com
37
00:01:42,168 --> 00:01:44,971
right next the video in a field label URL.
38
00:01:47,974 --> 00:01:50,243
If you don't want links to
additional YouTube videos
39
00:01:50,243 --> 00:01:52,645
to appear after your video stops playing,
40
00:01:52,645 --> 00:01:54,881
deselect the related video checkbox
41
00:01:54,881 --> 00:01:56,749
and then click "Apply".
42
00:01:56,749 --> 00:01:59,219
Once you've done click outside the video window
43
00:01:59,219 --> 00:02:01,521
and you'll see exactly where
your new YouTube video widget
44
00:02:01,521 --> 00:02:03,256
would look like on your publish site.
