Although you can add a movie by dragging it to any webpage, iWeb provides special templates and tools that make it easier to add and manage movies.
Here are ways to add a movie to a webpage:
Use the Movie template
iWeb provides a special template for adding a single movie to a webpage.
Add a movie to the photo grid on a photos page or to a My Albums page
When you add a movie to a photos page or an albums page, a single frame from the movie (called the “poster frame”) shows on the page. When visitors click the poster frame, the movie plays (on a photos page) or opens another page where they can play the movie (from an albums page).
Drag a movie file to a blog entry or a podcast
If you drag the file to the media placeholder on a blog entry or a podcast template, the movie becomes a video podcast.
Add a movie from MobileMe or another website
If you have a MobileMe subscription, you can publish movies directly from iMovie to the Internet and include them on your website. You can also add a video from another website that provides shared videos, such as YouTube.
Use the iSight Movie widget
Drag the widget to a webpage and then use your computer’s iSight camera to record a movie.
You can add a QuickTime VR movie or a movie with chapter markers to a webpage; the additional controls to skip through chapters in your movie appear on your site after you publish it. To see a list of supported movie file types, visit the QuickTime website.
Note:When you add movies, text, and other objects to a webpage, iWeb puts each in a separate layer. Layering gives you design flexibility. For example, you can place text on top of images or create collages of overlapping images. When you add a movie to a webpage, you should avoid layering anything on top of it. Most browsers automatically put movies in the top layer of a page, which means your published page may look different from how you intended.
