Hello Smugmug experts,

I am helping a friend of mine with our new website and we have run into a video problem that I'm trying to find a solution for. And the one I came up with I have no idea how to make. Here is the deal ,

Our website is a full flash cms site with bluedomain. We have a flash video page but are limited to only 18 mbs per video and we lose allot of quality. Another problem we run into is when the flash video is over it does not show it ended. Just says "buffering"

So what decided we can do is I would create a flash video gallery on my sumgmug pro site, and then just create a link on the website to go directly to the videos on my smugmug.

The problem I have is I dont any of my links or info on the flash video page. It will be a not visible as a choice on my smugmug page and will only link to from the this new current website.

How can I make the gallery on my end but remove all my logo's and text and info. I just want a black page with the flash videos there to be watched. thats it. No links to my smugmug page or anything.

Is this possible ? How ?

Any ideas would be a big help.

thanks

You have a couple choices:

1) You could embed the Smugmug-hosted videos right into your other sites pages. See the video part of this page (http://www.smugmug.com/help/picture-sharing) for how to embed Smugmug-hosted videos right into other pages. In this scenario, you upload the videos to Smugmug, go to the Share button for each, get the embedding code and paste that into your own web page so the videos can be viewed right from your other site without every going to Smugmug.

2) You can create a video gallery in Smugmug and then use CSS customization to hide everything except the video thumbnails. I can help you with that if you want to do that, but you need to provide a link to a gallery where you have at least a couple videos so I can see what customizing needs to be done.
