External Video
This component will allow the author to place an externally hosted video URL within HTML5 video markup on their Agency site.
It will allow Authors to easily assign the caption tracks, support multiple caption files, and a poster for the video.
*Note: This component is meant for external URLs leading directly to video files, not DAM references or 3rd party embeds. If you want to embed a video saved in the DAM, use the Dynamic Media component instead.
This component may be used by authors to add an embedded video player to their site. This component allows the user to link to 1 video with multiple caption files and a video poster. Multiple external video components may be placed per page.
Configuring the External Video Component:
- Video URL: Enter the full external URL here. The URL should end in the video file extension: .mp4, .wmv, etc.
- Caption Files: Using the "Add" button, add individual language caption files, up to a recommended maximum of 6.
- Video Poster: Set a still image from the DAM to be used for the video poster before starting playback. The image should be the same resolution as the player frame to avoid jarring the view.
- ID/Class: Set an ID and Class on the component for CSS targeting.
Resizing the Component
The component is auto responsive, meaning, if the author adjusts the size of the window, the video resizes itself automatically.
