Welcome back. Today we’re going to learn how to embed video in a project or on a page. If you haven’t ever created a video, maybe this is a good day for you to discover how easy it is to create a slideshow of your work in Lightroom (and save it as a video). Here’s a link to the “Publish a Slideshow” video that I created for the Lightroom CC Getting Started series. Or, if you have no interest whatsoever in video, then take the time to upload another project of your best images. : )
Portfolio currently supports embedding video from the following sources: Vimeo, YouTube, Adobe TV, Giphy, Blip.tv, Dailymotion, SoundCloud, Mixcloud, Bandcamp, Scribd, Google Maps, Wufoo, SlideShare, Prezi, Sketchfab, Issuu. This means that you don’t upload video directly to Portfolio but instead, use the embed code from the site that hosts your video.
You can add your video to a project or to a page.
To import video on a page. You can use a page that you have already created, or make a new page. In this example, I’m going to create a dedicated page that will display slideshows that I’ve created and posted to YouTube, but you can add video to any page (the contact page that we created earlier in the week etc.).
Click the Add Content icon in the left margin.
Choose Page.
Name the page and click Create Page.
Click “Find files to upload” to add an image to your page, or choose “Skip this step” (you can always add images later). Portfolio creates a new, blank page.
On the floating remote, click Embed Media.
In the Embed Media window, paste the embed code for your video and click Embed.
Note that the embed code is different from the Web Address. On whichever site you used to post your video, look for a button that says “embed”. In the case of YouTube, click the Share button (under the video), and then click Embed. Copy the code in the space below, return to the Embed Media window in Portfolio, and paste the embed code for your video.
Use the floating remote to add additional videos, images or Text (to add a caption for example). When finished, click Update Page, and then Return to Home.
The page will have the same look as other pages that you have previously added. To make changes the style, click the pencil in the navigation area and choose Customize. To reorder the Page, in the navigation area, click the Manage Content icon and drag the grabber handle to reposition.
To import video within a project.
In the Navigation area, click on the project that you want to embed video.
Use the floating remote and choose Edit Project Content.
Use the floating remote and choose Embed Media.
In the Embed Media window, paste the embed code for your video, and click Embed.
Note that the embed code is different from the Web Address. On whichever site you used to post your video, look for a button that says “embed”. In the case of YouTube, click the Share button (under the video), and then click Embed. Copy the code in the space below, return to the Embed Media window in Portfolio, and paste the embed code for your video.
Click the pencil icon next to the video to reorder, add a caption, change width and alignment, margins, replace, or delete the embedded video.
Use the floating remote to add additional videos, images and so on.
When finished, click Update Project, and then Return to Home.
And thats a wrap for today’s challange. Have a great rest of your day and I’ll see you back here again tomorrow!
