Share on the Internet or Intranet

Because video files can be large, the best way to share them is by storing them on the internet or on an intranet so stakeholders can view them without having to download large files onto their computer.

You can do the following:

• Produce and upload to Screencast.com.
  This option is good if you do not have a lot of experience with HTML and creating web pages.
• Produce and upload files to another video hosting location or internal website.
  This option is for advanced users who have experience with HTML and creating websites.

Share Video on a Website

The best production option for sharing on a website is to produce your highlight videos in the MPEG-4 format. This format produces the following output files: 

• .html: HTML wrapper that opens in the viewer’s default Web browser.
• .mp4: Self-contained video that plays within the free, downloadable QuickTime Player.
• .jpg: A thumbnail of the first frame of the storyboard (used on Screencast.com).
• Player files needed to play the embedded video: expressInstall.swf, swfobject.js, and videoplayer.swf

To share MPEG-4 video:

1. Produce a highlight video or video clips, selecting the MPEG-4 video encoding option.
2. When production is complete, click Open production folder and locate the folder containing the created files.
3. Copy all of the files in the folder onto a web server.
4. Create and share a hyperlink from the website that points to the .html file on the web server.

Share Highlights with a Mac User

If you would like to share highlight videos with a Mac user, you can either Share on the Internet or Intranet or you can share an MP4 file.

An MP4 file is a self-contained video that plays within the free, downloadable QuickTime Player from Apple. QuickTime is the default media player for Mac operating systems.

To share an MP4 file:

1. Produce a highlight video or video clips, selecting the MPEG-4 video encoding option.
2. When production is complete, click Open production folder and locate the folder containing the created MPEG-4 files.
3. Copy and distribute the MP4 file located in the folder. You do not need any of the additional files to play an MP4 in QuickTime.
