    Hello everyone!

    I have a problem, I’m hoping I’ll manage to get an answer.

    I made a one minute video and the client would like there to be a link at the end of the video where people can click and arrive at a certain page on their (the client’s) website.

    Now on youtube this is not a problem, since I can do this right after the upload. But what happens when we place the video on their website? I made a flash file with a link to the page, but when I tried to import it into FCP – no luck. I then checked in CC forums and saw that Flash and FCP don’t play well together.

    My question is, how can I keep the properties (link to website) of the flash file and place in the video clip. Do I have to do it in a different program? If yes, which one?
    Thanks!

    You have to put the link in the flash/swf file on their web page, not inside your video. JWplayer will let you do this fairly easily with their online wizard. Running it through Flash itself will give you a lot more options, but you’ll need to learn some Flash.

    Non-linear: all the time and nothing but.

    Cool, thanks.
    I am now trying to do it with Flash, we’ll see how it goes. If not, I’ll get our web guy to help.
