Premiere: Including Quicktime on the Web

Including quicktime clips on your web page is a bit more complicated than including images. To include them, you need a "EMBED" tag. When they are included, they look like this:

The code to include a quicktime video looks like this:


<EMBED SRC="/images/smalltots.qt" AUTOSTART="true" LOOP="true" KIOSKMODE="true" PLUGINSPAGE="http://quicktime.apple.com" HEIGHT=150 WIDTH=200 CONTROLLER="false">

Each of the options controlls how the quicktime movie will look:

Autostart
The clip will start on its own.
Loop
The clip will run continuously (until clicked on)
Pluginspace
Tells older browsers where to find the plugin to run the video.
Height & Width
tell the video what size to display at. (If you put the size at smaller than the size of the video, the display will crop; if you try to expand the image, the browser will clear a space, but will not expand the movie.)
Controller
"false" means the viewer does not have a volume or timeline control. True (or absent) means the viewer does have such controls.
