Video Studio - Exporting problem

[monica]

Hi, I'm new in this forum. I have create several videos succesfully, but I have been having problems exporting them to my website. I have followed the instructions in the manual but still have the message error.. Any clues???

I know you say you have followed the recommended procedure, but it would certainly help if you told us, step by step, exactly what you have done, what your source was, what the properties of the various files were along the way, and in particular, what the final format was of the clips you are wanting to load on the web. Details of your computer and operating system would also be useful.

Hi Ken, thanks for your interest in helping me. I have followed these instructions from the Uled User Guide(March 2005):

To export your video onto a Web page:
1. Select a video clip from the Library.
2. Select the Share Step then click Export in the Options Panel
and select Web Page.
3. A message will appear asking if you want to use Microsoft
ActiveMovie control or not. ActiveMovie is a small plug-in for your Internet browser (standard with IE 4.0 or above) which your viewers need to install. If you choose No, the page will be set up with a simple
link to the movie.
4. Enter a name and location for the new HTML file.
5. Click OK.
Your default browser will open, displaying your page.

The file was the *.VSP then I save it as a *.htm

I have also installed the ActiveMovie and it didnt work.

Windows 2000, Pentium 4, 1.6GHz, 1G Ram.

Hope I have cleared my question...

Thank you very much

This is why I asked about your steps. First, I need to know what you captured, what format you captured in and then what edits you did. Then I need to know whether in fact you _did_ follow _all_ the recommended procedures to the letter. These include, after you do your editing, first going to Share > Create Video File > and then select your final format. You say, instead, that you used your . VSP file, which is your project file, and this is potentially wrong depending on which stage you used it! I acknowledge, however, that this may just be your shorthand way of saying that with the edited project in the timeline, you then went to Share > Create Video File. But this is where it gets interesting.

You also say you were somehow converting this .VSP file to an HTM file. I just don't know how you could do this...? As you may realise, HTM is a format for web pages, not a video format. You will need, when you go to Share > Create Video File, to choose a format which can later be embedded on your HTM web page. The choice in this regard basically comes down to the Windows Media format (.wmv) or one of the mpeg-4 formats such as DivX. (There is also Real Media but I am congenitally disinclined to recommend this one!). So essentially you choose Share > Create Video File > WMV (or mpeg-4), and wait till a new file is produced. Then, when this is finished, if you know something about building web pages, you embed a link to this file in your web page, and the Microsoft plug-in to which you refer should make it play when that web page is selected and/or the link is clicked.
