Adding a movie using the Movie template

iWeb provides a special movie page template for showcasing movies on your website.

To add a movie using the Movie template:

  1. Click the Add Page button in the toolbar at the bottom of the iWeb window.

  2. Image of Add Page button.
  3. In the template chooser, select a theme from the list on the left.

  4. Select the Movie template on the right, and then click Choose.

  5. If the Media Browser isn’t open, click the Show Media button in the toolbar, and then click the Movies button.

  6. Image of Show Media button.
  7. Drag your movie to the placeholder on the page.

    You can also drag a movie directly from the Finder, or you can drag the iSight Movie widget to the placeholder. For more information, see Related Topics below.

  8. Adjust the movie’s settings—whether it loops, whether the playback controls appears, and so on—using the QuickTime inspector. For more information, click the link below.

For best performance, a movie file should be no larger than 10 megabytes (MB). If you shared your movie to the Media Browser from iMovie, or exported it from QuickTime, it is automatically compressed.

You can add a QuickTime VR movie or a movie with chapter markers. The additional controls for skipping from chapter to chapter appear on your live website after you publish it.

To see a list of supported movie file types, visit the QuickTime website.
