Info

Audio files still need an image. It’s a good idea to use a thumbnail shot of the talent in your storyor another image that relates. In the event that you do not have a suitable image, you may use thepodcast icon in the Media Library.This can be inserted into the post or used as a featured image.VideoUploading video follows the same process as the second Audio option above. You must add thefile to the library then add the details to the Post Video Options pane.Again, copy and paste the File URL. This time you must also include dimensions. Videos mustbe 590px wide.The maximum file size allowed is 100MB.If this is insufficient, it might be a good idea to upload the video to a site such as YouTube orVimeo and embed the file in your story.In this case, paste the code in the Post Video Options pane.Again, you will need an image. Take a photo of your talent, or a scene from your video. Whenyou upload video using this method it will appear above the text. In this case you will need to seta featured image [see above].To embed video in-line, switch to HMTL view and paste the embed code in your story whereyou want it to appear.UQ SJC STYLEBOOK 2012 – PAGE 74
Problems embedding?Students sometimes have difficulty embedding rich media content. This is a WordPress bug andit has to do with the permissions attached to your logon.
