Embedding+Video

To embed a video you will need to add the HMTL code into a web part. You will then need to edit the HTML code for your specific video.


 * Preparations:**
 * 1) Create your video and save as a Windows media file (wmv). You can use Movie Maker to do this. If you have no experience with creating video, please seek assistance. If you do not know how to prepare a video file for the web, you will end up with a very large file that will be impossible for visitors to view.
 * 2) Upload the video to your Podcast Library or to another Document Library like the Images Library.
 * 3) Locate and copy the appropriate code for embedding your video by reading this site: []


 * Embedding Video**


 * 1) Create a new page or select an existing page on which to add your video. **This page must contain a web part zone.**
 * 2) Click on Site Actions > Edit Page.
 * 3) Click on Add a Web Part in the appropriate web part zone.
 * 4) Scroll down to the **Miscellaneous** section of the web part list.
 * 5) Select **Content Editor Web Part**.
 * 6) Click on **Add**.
 * 7) Click on **Edit > Modify Shared Web Part** and the tool pane will open to the right of the screen – make certain to scroll all the way to the right. Now click on **Source Editor. (Never use the Rich Text Editor – it will mess up the code.)**
 * 8) Now paste the HTML code that you copied into the window.

This path would point to the podcast library and a windows media file named northcarolina. **Notice that you must add the ../ before the library name so that the path to the video file is correct.**
 * Editing the Code**
 * 1) You must change the source of video so that is provides the path to your video.
 * 2) If it is stored on your site, then you should enter the name of library and the video files. Example **../ podcast/northcarolina.wmv**
 * 1) Check the code carefully as **there is usually two places** where you have to enter the source for the video.


 * Edit attributes**
 * 1) You can also edit attributes for playing the video such as autostart, loop, show controls, etc. The website reference above will explain the attributes.
 * 2) Look over the code carefully. You will have to edit those attributes in two places in the code.


 * Centering the Video**
 * 1) To center the video you will need to add a division tag.
 * 2) Before the video code add 
 * 3) At he end of the code add 

Once you have finished editing the video code, click SAVE and then OK to close the panel. Test your video to make certain it plays correctly. If not, you will need to edit the source code. Remember to always use the **Source Editor.** (If you open the Rich Text Enter, it will mess up the code.)
