Getting Embed Code from Screencast.com

| | Comments (7)

Updated October 10th, 2007: Jing 1.3 added the ability to get embed code from Screencast.com to the UI.

Additionally, Screencast.com now has a "Click to Play" feature that only loads a thumbnail of your video when embedded. This means that your video isn't loaded every time a viewer loads the page, saving your bandwidth for actual views of the video.

Safari beta 3.0.3 [Mac] only copies 1024 characters of the code. The Media Roll code is longer than this and so will not work if copied with Safari. Firefox copies all the embed code.

I love the idea of Jing -- but what security lies around my images or videos - we have a lot of proprietary information that can't be outside the firewall.

I wrote a long note a few posts back on the PNG and SWF discussion - basically saying don't bother - leave it alone.

I've started to reconsider it for one selfish reason.

After years on Windows and switching to the Mac, not having Snagit turned out to be a huge problem since there was nothing close on the Mac platform and Snagit fundamentally changed how I communicated.

Here's the rub - using Mail.app on Mac accepts any picture format, however, the only thing that stays in line for Outlook users on Windows in GIF (I don't know why - I suppose it has something to do with the exchange server and how Outlook handles HTML).

Now I'm sliding towards the camp of getting a preference for formats.

Once you store the video files you create. Are they saved online to be viewed by others? In other words, can we build a 'video catalog' and just post links as we make the presentations?

How do I add text to the video I've created?
Thanks!

I've been trying to get my video capture to appear on my blog as a thumbnail, but am unable do so. How do I it onto my blog so that people can click it in order to maximise it? A the moment it shows just a quarter of the screen. On the help site the help section 'Getting embed code from Screensaver' mentions a 'Click to play' option, but it doesn't tell you how to get it to work. If anyone can help me, I'd be really grateful.

Does anyone know how to adjust the size of the playback screen? I would like to use a full screen view but would like my viewers not to have to scroll to move all over the page.
Thanks!
