Re: Videos

If you want to host your own videos yourself, then you could upload the video files to your web server and use the HTML 5 <video> tag to embed them in your Showkase web pages.
Please see this web page for further details on the <video> tag.

Most modern browsers support the <video> tag but many older browsers will not.
Please see this web page for a list of browsers which support the <video> tag.

For example, if you had a MP4 video named 'movie.mp4' and uploaded it to a folder named 'videos' in your root directory, then you would enter the following code into the editor on your Showkase page:

<video width="640" height="480" controls>
    <source src="/videos/movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

Otherwise, you could upload your video to a video hosting service such as YouTube or Vimeo and paste the <iframe> embedding code that the service provides into the Showkase editor. This is how the Vimeo videos have been embedded in the 'Motion' page of the 'Patrick Surace' Showkase demo site here.

Whether you use the <video> tag code or <iframe> embedding code, be sure to enter the code into the Showkase editor in 'Source' mode. (Just click the 'Source' button on the editor's toolbar.)
