Inserting Video

Inserting a video can be done very easily using OmniUpdate. OmniUpdate can display 5 standard video types (Flash, Quicktime, Shockwave, Windows Media and Real Media). However, OmniUpdate is also able to play .flv files created from Transcode It. Transcode It can convert any file to .flv and will automatically create the HTML code you need in order to display the video on your website (only administrators can access the HTML).

Insert Video

To insert a video, start by navigating to the page where the video will be inserted and click on the DirectEdit link. Log in to OmniUpdate and select the region of the page where you want the new video to be inserted. Click exactly where you want the video to display and click on the "Insert / edit embedded media" button. Select the type of video, find the video, and set the dimensions of the video. A preview of the video will play to ensure you have the correct video. Click on the "Insert" button to insert the video on the page.

Administrators have the ability to copy/paste the HTML code that Transcode It outputs into the source code of the page instead of using the "Insert / edit embedded media" feature. The HTML code can be obtained either by staying on the Transcode It page while the file is being produced, or by opening the e-mail Transcode It sends when the file is created, clicking on the link, and clicking on the option to view the HTML code.
