Hello Everybody,

I'm working on a movie in Premiere and I wanted to make the first frame one that says "Click To Play" and then makes the movie play, just like all the movies/commerials at apple.com. Only Problem is that I don't have the slightest Idea how. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Try to look at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/autho...er_movies.html and http://www.apple.com/quicktime/authoring/qtwebfaq.html - hope it does the trick.

and...just in case ya need more help:

<font face = "courier"><EMBED width="225" controller="false" name="myself" src="clickme.mov" height="166" href="realmovie.mov" border="0"
pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/indext.html"
target="myself">
</EMBED></font>

the first mov is the graphic that will display before the real movie. just
make a movie with 1 frame (no sound) of what you want people to click on. make sure it's the same size as your actual mov.

the second mov (the href) is your movie. if you have your files in
directories, be aware that the href is in reference to the src movie. so
if you go into a directory for the src, you'll still be in that directory
when referencing the href movie.

the controller=false makes sure that the controller won't show up until
you click on the movie.

one last thing, adjust the height in your embed code to be 16 pixels
higher than the actual movie. the 16 pixels are for the controller.
