How to add videos
1. Video pieces are only available in the Full version and they must be converted to flv format (Flash video).
2. We recommend Adobe Flash CS3 Video Encoder to convert your videos to flv format. Use the following settings;
Flash 8 - Medium Quality (400kbps)
Maximum width 615px
Max height 385px
Note that the videos do not have to be constrained to these proportions, but they must not exceed this size.
3. You need a jpeg to display as the thumbnail for your video. Take a screen shot of a section of your video that you would like to display and save it as a jpeg 615px X 385px using Photoshop.
Extra notes;
