Importing Movies
Previous  Top  Next

Movies may be imported and used as part of a question or as part of an Info screen (discussed later).

Valid file types for movies are .avi and .mov in Windows. On a Macintosh, you may import QuickTime and MPEG files.

Note: If you want to incorporate a movie file that is not in one of these file formats, you will need to convert the file to one of the supported types by using an external program.

Movies, unlike Pictures and Sounds, must be Linked; they may not be Imported.

To use a Linked movie within a question, click the Create Link button. If you have not previously saved your game, you will be prompted to do so. Use the Open Video File dialog box to navigate to the movie you wish to link. When you have selected the desired movie and clicked Open, you will be prompted to copy the video file into the Gamemedia folder of the directory where your game is stored.

After you have made your selections, press Enter.

Checking the box next to Loop Continuously causes the video to play continuously during the presentation of that question. Leaving it unchecked results in the video being played once during the game. Clicking Remove Link will delete the video file from the linked list.

When you are satisfied with your selection of a video file to include in your game, click OK to return to the Question Input Screen. Your video file will be displayed within the question layout you selected.
