About video

How video appears in a gallery

Video files are represented by a thumbnail icon which appears along side image thumbnails in the gallery pages. When a viewer clicks the video thumbnail, or if the video is played as part of a slideshow, the video will play in the same window where the images appear.

Changing the default thumbnail icon

You can change the default video icon with your own graphic in Step 4: Manage Theme for this Gallery. Click on the Customize tab, select the Icons heading in the Theme Editor, select Video Icon and browse to the graphic you wish to use.

Adding a custom image thumbnail for a specific video

In the Step 2, Video tab, you can add a custom image thumbnail to represent a specific video rather than using the program's default video icon.

Adding captions, descriptions, audio and maps

Short captions, long descriptions, audio and map locations can be added to a video just as they are added to images. Go to the tab of the feature you want to add to the video, click on the video thumbnail and add the information on the righthand side of the wizard panel just as you would an image.
