The top link was copied and pasted from within Safari. The bottom link was copied and pasted from within Firefox.

They are obviously different but both work when in the correct (?) browser.

No that doesn't work either, just takes me to the Youtube library, I click the "watch video" link & get a Windows cant open, search the web for a solution.

I've created a short test show. I will upload that with nothing changed & see what happens.

PS tomorrow. :ph34r:/>

Uploaded quicker than I thought it would. This is the link to a PTE test show to see if the previous problems with the original link happen again.

It appears to work for me, direct from here or via Youtube. :blink:/> :blink:/> :blink:/>

Hi Ken

The pictorial image is what you get when you post a Youtube URL on here or anywhere else, when the show ends you get the Youtube commercial of what they think you would like to see. It sounds like the test show works as it should.

If you remember I lost the link to my main Youtube account when I cleared my cookies & I have never been able to retrieve it. The account with Matchstalk Man & the test show is one I set up a couple of years ago & has my well remembered normal log in. Both shows don't use the PTE Youtube publish file route, they are PTE Publish video file & then uploaded manually.

Regards Eric

Maybe someone knows more about this?

My first link (URL) was copied and pasted in a Firefox browser.

My second link (URL) was copied and pasted in a Safari browser.

The Safari link produces an unexpected result in the Firefox browser.

See my edited post above - #29.

This is a funny thread, isn't it? Someone has started it in order to show us how to insert images on top of a running video, but everybody is talking about links to YouTube (where we can find a video that does not show the effect) :)/>/>

By the way, the method described here obviously works, but in my opinion it isn't a clever one. Having the video and all still images in one slide, while working with key frames and opacity, will cause a lot of trouble in case you want to make changes to time points when particular images show up or vanish. It might be better to have the video in several consecutive slides, the first one as Master video track, with the followers linked to it. In this situation you can show additional images via normal transitions, and transition points can be easily shifted.

Maybe you should read all the thread before trying to score points> WWTW :rolleyes:/>

From post one (I didn't fully comprehend all the suggestions, that's why it's called "My Way". Hopefully it will help someone else who wants to do something similar, hopefully with better quality images. It just goes to show there's more than one way to skin a cat.)
