Where to put video?

[Solow]

I am a motion graphics artist an I see a lot of my peers in the industry are using this web template to display their work.

http://www.aaronknapp.tv/

I want to modify an existing page and make it my own.

After saving the page source (.html, various .png files, a motion.css and a rollovers.js file) I don't know where in the code to replace the text so that I can have my own video play that is hosted on my ftp site.

Can any of you web designers help me? I am able to change the pics and text but I can't seem to find which text to replace in the documents that will allow my video file on my ftp to play.

Thanks,

Hi Solow,

To answer your question, the part of the code which you need to adjust is...

<div id="VideoBox">
<embed src="../../../media/2009_Reel_v0720x405_FUL003.mov" width="718" height="420" border="0"></embed>
</div>

Just replace this url path with that of your own.

It's not surprising that you couldn't find it, the code is very messy.

You'd be better off for the links on the left using <ul> and <li> andmaking them text links. This would make your code much easier to follow and the site would ultimate perfom better in search engines.

<h2>Selected Work:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Reel 2009</li>
<li>The Ride</li>
<li>Expedition Africa</li>
<li>MTV:House of Style</li>
<li>Kelloggs: Fibre Plus</li>
...etc
</ul>

Then you would use a stylesheet to get the look and feel the same as what it is now.

If you need any help with it just let us know! It shouldn't take you too long.
