Okay I will ask, how do I get the cool image with the "play" icon in it as the link/click to activate? I got how to put the link to an image, I just can't figure out how to get the image to have the play icon.

The 'play' icon is a .png that is overlayed over the image of a video in a gallery in order graphically signify that it's a video and to differentiate from an image. There is not a way to use it along with your video thumbnail to link to that I know of.
If you want to use just the 'play' graphic only, the source is here:
Ok cool. Well, I don't have anything super recent as I've been concentrating on photography this year. However, I do have a VERY short film that relates to both video and photo - it is stop-motion

I did this one as a test. It was rather impromptu. My grandfather, his brother, and their brother in law started singing the other day and I grabbed my laptop and used the built in webcam to record.

Hmm, I'm not sure what's wrong. I've viewed it one three different comps running three different browers - IE6, IE7, and Firefox. All seem fine. Have you had a problem viewing anyone else's videos?

Thanks David I love these old guys. They're in their 80s! And, they play instruments too; violin, piano, and guitar. They don't get together often; my grandfather lives here in MD, his brother is in New Orleans, and the brother-in-law is in NJ.

Hi Christina, I played the video again today and this time it opened properly.
They sing in harmony they sounded pretty good
The first time I tried to view it the video box had a big black line through the middle of it and only the sound played, but today it worked fine.
Angelo, what browser are you using? No matter what updates I do I can't get quicktime to work in Firefox. Is the video just not loading? Do you see the blue Quicktime "Q"?
Here's another one that I uploaded last night. It took me a couple tries to get it uploaded, maybe because it's almost to the 10min limit and was a .wmv file that had to be converted by smugmug?
none of the videos are playing for me. I've checked for the latest updates in Quicktime and all seems fine. Any suggestions?
Angelo,
I second the question about what browser you are using. Do you get the blue Q?
I use Firefox all the time and never have a problem with playing the videos.
You might want to check your file extensions to make sure another application is not trying to play the video. Some versions of Quicktime (PC) have an option you can click that will reset the file associations. You might want to try that.

I'm using Firefox. When I click on a link, like your above, I'm taken to your site where a white video windoe sets and I see the blue "Q" but nothing plays. In certain cases, after a while the blue "Q" tuens to a broken "Q" icon

I don't know about extensions, file associations. See my response above.
Thanks for trying.
All I know is I have a lot to learn shooting and making movies on the computer.
Here is my first attempt I did last weekend - Inuyama Castle 犬山 close to where I live in Nagoya, Japan. This one I didn't take too long editing it. Next time I'm going to find some good editing software first.
Dangin, what software did you use to edit that movie and how did you post that thumbnail in the forums?
i used microsoft's photostory 3 to create the photo slideshow set to music then i brought it into adobe premiere elements to add the text and exported it as a quicktime movie.
as for the thumbnail, i just grabbed a screenshot of the browser window and cropped out the image. dirty way of doing it? yes. does it work? yes.

My Poppies
Well, the poppies are alive, so I wanted to share this from yesterday -
I started about 6:30- around noon, I have the afternoon, but it is way to windy.
Equipment -
E-3, 12-60, HLD-4 (Vertical grip) Pclix trigger, Tripod. Assembled in Quicktime. I used around 4 BLM-1 batteries. The first 2 lasted about 8 hours of shooting.
The pclix fired off at every 13 seconds.
This is my first E-3 stop motion shoot.
After about 3,000 pictures here is what I came up with.
All in all, I am pleased, but the afternoon doesn't look good at all. The camera got very hot, it was over 80F at our house that day. But the E-3 just kept shooting. After doing this, I could see it not being a good move to use on your camera. So I can't recommend this practice.
I will probably in the future post more of these to this thread, as I begin working on a review of the pclix.
Short Time Lapse Just a time lapse I made on easter from my window. Canon 40D with a Peleng 8mm fisheye fixed lens taking pictures every 5 seconds, 1000 pictures. Used the 'Camera Settings/Remote Shooting' in the 'EOS Utility' menu and edited them with Premiere and Windows Movie Maker. Should try it out if you havent already, Fun when the weather is wacky.

Heheh. I look forward to them. My kids did stop motion stuff when they were younger, and they were a hoot.

PPS: Cameras are a little cheaper than boats, not by much though!
