    Hi

    I want to import a very short piece of video into a layer slider but have a number of questions:
    – What size & format should I export from iMovie?
    – Should I import it into wordpress or via FTP to the server (I don’t want it playing from Youtube)?
    – I want it to automatically play – I’m assuming this feature is available in the slider setup?

    Any guidelines would be much appreciated.

    Cheers

    Hi there

    I’ve read up on the various links you sent through and I’ve successfully got the video appearing in the layerSlider (3rd slide) but I can’t for the life of me get it to automatically play. http://www.theimplantcentre.com/wordpress/home-dentist/.
    I also can’t get the video to disappear before the text appears, I’ve set a delay time in the OUT section but it’s just not working.

    This is the code I’ve got for the video:
    <video width=”320″ height=”240″ preload=”metadata”<video autoplay>
    <source src=”/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Whitehouse_neverpoach.m4v” type=”video/mp4″>
    </video>

    Any ideas?
    Rupert

    Hi Rupert!

    I checked your page and the video actually played automatically and it disappeared before the next text appears.

    Regards,

    Thanks Josue
    I’m on a mac and I’ve tried it using the following:

    Firefox 29.0.1 – the video panel doesn’t appear at all
    Chrome 35 – a black panel appears but it doesn’t play
    Safari 6.1.4 – it works!

    Is there a way round this?

    I tested on Chrome (Mac). Make sure you are serving the proper formats. The code should be:

    <video width=”320″ height=”240″ preload=”metadata”<video autoplay>
<source src=”/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Whitehouse_neverpoach.m4v” type=”video/mp4″>
<source src=”/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Whitehouse_neverpoach.webm” type=”video/webm″>
<source src=”/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Whitehouse_neverpoach.ogg” type=”video/ogg″>
</video>

    Cheers!
