http://kidsgrovewheelers.smugmug.com/ Just wondering how difficult or easy it may be to place video footage onto a gallery page. For example I was thinking of calling the page, video footage,'surprise, surprise', and when the page opens perhaps viewers could then click onto a variety of different video's which ever they wish to view. I have seen some smug mug video gallerys and they look superb. Any Help would be grateful. Thanks Andy:thumb

Personally, I upload the videos to Google Video, grab a single frame to upload as an image to smugmug, and embed the video in the caption field of that image.

Hey thats a good idea. Is that straight forward enough or is it complex...? Thanks.

I entered the google video "embed" code into a test picture's caption. Nothing happened.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Did you place the code between html tags?

Well im a little cofused. This is the story so far. I have a couple of movies on you tube in avi format and have tried to upload them to smug mug via old faithful. Unfortunately they are being rejected. I understand that I need mpeg-1, but not sure how to do that. Can anyone help.:scratch

The easiest way is to keep the videos on youtube, and embed them on smugmug.

1) Create a suitable image to act as a thumbnail for your video (I use a screenshot of the video with a "play" button on it).
2) Upload this image to smugmug
3) Go to youtube
4) Find the code to embed the video in another page
5) Copy and paste this code into the caption field of your thumbnail image on smugmug
6) Ensure that the code is surrounded by <html> </html> tags
7) Sit back and enjoy
