Insert Video Code from Camtasia 8 Into Web Page or Blog Post (How To)

Jim-

I have to click on the video to get the player controls to disappear.

Good glitch catch on your part

Dan

It worked for me. IE8 & FireFox 11.00

Jim,

On my Windows XP Pro SP3 machine running the latest Firefox browser version 13.0.1, the player controls appear instantly when I move my mouse over the video, and they disappear instantly when I move my mouse outside the video, regardless of whether I actually click on the video screen area or outside the video screen area or not. I will now try moving over to my Windows 7 machine and try the same things on it in the Firefox, Chrome, and IE browsers. If I see anything different, I’ll post another reply. Otherwise, if all is the same, I won’t.

Jay

The player controls do hide for my browser (Chrome).

Hi Jim. Thanks for the very informative video. I watched the video in both Explorer 9 and in Firefox and in both cases the player bar correctly disappeared when I moved my cursor off the video. So I didn’t see the problem you encountered.
Paul

The controls hide automatically for me, using Firefox in a desktop PC.

Hi Jim,

I’m using the latest Google Chrome and the play bar only appears when my cursor is hovers over the video window, then disappears automatically when my cursor is moved off the video window.

Hope that helps.

Paul

Everything works perfectly for me on my Windows XP Pro machine running Firefox 13.0.1 or Chrome. Won’t run video at all on IE8 on that machine. On my Windows 7Professional machine, everything works perfectly on IE9 as well. I assume that working is when I move my mouse over the video, the controls pop up instantly and disappear as soon as I move the mouse off. Once moved over the video and the controls appear, the controls will disappear after about three seconds, requiring either a click on the video to get them back, or I can move my mouse off the video and back on to get them back.

I hope this helps you!

Jay

Auto played for me, and controls disappeared. Using latest version of FireFox. Thanks for the nuts-and-bolts on this. Will definitely be using it.

Jim, the player controls disappear as soon as the mouse is moved off of the video window. Mouseover the video again, and the controls appear. This is the correct functionality. Played the video on IE8, Firefox 12, and Chrome 19. Works correctly on all of these browsers. I also got Camtasia 8.0 last week. Thanks for the tutorial!

Jim,

I hear you perfectly but the screen remains black.

Help.

Hi Jim,
Just update to 8.0 myself so was anxious to see your vid. Watching on Chrome but the video does not appear. Just tried it on Firefox 13.01 and nothing appears.

Best,
Dicken

Hi Jim
On the ipad I also had to touch video to make player disappear. Also noted that the resize arrows on the bottom
right of player did not seem to allow full screen view of video. Other than that, good video /info Jim.
Thanks!
David

Jim:

Auto-hide works for me in Chrome and Firefox.

Thanks so much for this; I just downloaded the new Camtasia 8 this weekend. Hope it’s better than 7, I still use 6 a lot.

Jim

The player controls disappear without my needing to click on the video..

Jim,

Player hides when I move the mouse off the video. FireFox 12.0. Seems to work fine.

Jim,

The autohide works for me in FF 13.0

Having battled WP for years with their changing code I came across a plugin called Hana Code Insert – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/hana-code-insert/

You use their WP menu to add code, then add their shortcode to the page/post. It keeps WP from messing with the code if you go to Visual mode.

Just got CS8 myself so this is a great help for streaming from S3.

Hi Jim,
First of all and most important …THANK YOU, THANK YOU so much for putting this training video together which is extremely valuable. GREAT JOB.

Auto-Hide works for me.

The auto-hide feature works for me with IE 8.

Great video and very helpful.

Hey Jim,

The controls disappeared for me when I moved the mouse off to the side. I am viewing with Firefox 13.0.1

Great info as well…Thanks

-Todd

Hi Jim

Good information, thank you.

Using Google chrome browser, with pointer on the video the controls are visible. Move pointer
off video the controls disappear.

Delton

G’day Jim. Thanks for the walk through.

Controls hide automatically for me, using Firefox 13.0.1 on my desktop PC.

Kym

The controls disappear for me in Explorer 8. Thanks for the hints.

Jim,
Response to you Cam 8 to WP or iPad etc., yes the navigator line goes away when I move the cursor off to the side. No clicking needed.

I’ll have to watch the video a few more time and try to do what you say. Most of it is ok but a few places you don’t say exactly what you did or why, and so far I don’t see it.

I will watch it again in a while and see how it goes.

I just got Cam 8 for the $79 upgrade cost. Still learning it. You would think there would be an automated way of putting videos on WP using Camtasia.
Thanks for the info.
Gary

Hi Jim,

The controls auto-hide for me on Mac OS 10.6.8 and Firefox 13. Auto-play also worked fine.

No auto-play on IPad but video worked well when play button was pressed and auto-hide player controls worked fine.

The video did not work at all on my IPhone 4S. Not sure why.

Very nice video and information.

Thanks Jim!

Jay

Hi Jim,

Thanks for taking the time to create this video and post it to your blog. This is great.

Here are the results for me:

1)Explorer 9 – Controls dissapears automatically after a few seconds and when I move curser away from video. Works perfectly.
2)Firefox 14 (beta) – Does not play with following message “This browser does not support the video format needed for playback. Please install the Flash Player or use a different browser.”
3)iPad – Video plays (WoooHooo). My controls dissapears if I tap on video. It does not dissapear automatically. This is awesome!!!
4)iPhone. Video does not play at all on my iPhone. There’s a black screen.

Cheers
Rodney

Hi Jim,,

Thanks for the the helpful into.

I’m using Google Chrome under Linux. The controls appear if I hover over the video and disappear when I move away from the video, as they should. So it’s working find for me.

Charles

The video above is doing nothing on OSX laptop in Safari , no controls or anything just big black box.
The video on http://www.7dayebook.com/ plays fine.

hmmmm…

Jim,
I always watch your videos on my iPhone because I have unlimited data. The replays of the webinars for the ebook marketing course I have to watch using puffin because of the flash I guess – which I have to admit is a little annoying because of the way puffin is set up. I never have a problem with the quick cuppas – I don’t have to use puffin. And now I come to this page – my browser is Safari – and there’s just a black box. I can’t watch it. Just went to try it and I can watch it in puffin. Are you using different video formats? Just curious. It’d be nice if I could just watch stuff on my iPhone but I realize there are Apple issues, as well. I do like the quick cuppas.
Sincerely,
Bobbi

Hi Jim,

When I hold my mouse off to the side, the controls disappear … until I return my mouse to hover
over the video player, then the controls re-appear.

For me, nothing disappears when I click on the screen of the video.

Thanks for the valuable information,
Marlene

P. S.: Addendum:
I tested this using Firefox 13.0.1 and Windows XP.

Jim, the control bar automatically disappears using Firefox for me.

Cheers,

Paul

I am using latest version of Opera but had to click to get the controls to go away. Really appreciate your great work and effort, with videos like these it certainly makes my life easier. Thanks.

The controls are working fine using IE 9 and Windows 7 64 bit

I am using google chrome and the player disappears everytime I move the mouse out of the video screen and appears again whenever the mouse is in the video screen area.

Using Chrome, no controls, only when I hover over with mouse, which is perfect.
I did pause the video to take the wife to work though, and cant remember if it was like that from the start or not!
Great useful video as always, please keep this post up so I can refer back to it. Thanks.

Hi Jim
on Win 7 64 bit the player disappears on Chrome, FF 13.0.1 and Explorer 9, player appears on Ipad until clicked.

Really like the new Camtasia; does this mean we will be able to watch future webinars from TNR on the iPad?

Works fine for me Jim, just as it is meant to. Thanks for the video and have a great day

Hi Jim, the controls disappeared for me when I moved the cursor off the video. Cool tip, thanks Jim

Hi Jim

I suspect this is browser dependent. With your video on this page, the player controls disappear for me with Firefox 13.0.1

Jim:

Using Firefox 12.0 with a Mac. Video auto started and I didn’t realize that there were controls until you video called it out. Then I moved my mouse over the video and I could see them. So they were not visible under this set up.

Thanks for all the good information you share.

Dave

Thanks for video. Busy playing with Camtasia 8 myself. My beef with it is that when I cut out errors I end up with multiple smaller files that mess up easily especially when I add focus in.

Re the player: I move my cursor and the player does not show. I’m using the latest version of Firefox.

DJ

If I put the cursor anywhere on the video frame, the controls appear. If I take the cursor off the video (off to the side or underneath) the controls disappear. I’m using Firefox 13.0.1 and Windows XP Pro (I know, I know, my computer was original equipment on the Ark!).

Cheers,

Don

Player bar disappears when mouse is moved off video screen then reappears when mouse is moved back onto video screen. No mouse click is necessary.

I’m using Windows XP and Firefox 13.0.1

Jim ,

When I move my cursor over the video the controls show up. When I move my cursor off of the video screen the control bar auto hides.
Using IE8

Jim,
I’m using FireFox 13.0.1 and the player controls auto hide for me.

Also a quick Camtasia 8 tip – I had problems with it being more difficult in V8 to do something that was easy in V7.1 and when I told Techsmith Support about it and asked if there was a way to get a V7 (I’d been using a trial version) they told me that the V8 keys are backward compatible with V7.1! WOO HOO! Problem solved! Now I have access to both versions as a full legal user!

Video player disappeared at the bottom, and the information about the code was a great help.

Thanks Jim!

Hi Jim,

When I move the cursor off the video, the display bar disappears. This is in Firefox running on Windows 7.

Thanks for the informative video.

Debbie

Thanks for the video, Jim.
I am using the latest version of Firefox and when I move my cursor off to the side, the controls did disappear.

Jim,
Currently using XP and Chrome. The player controls disappear when the cursor is moved off the

Thanks for another great presentation! Ed

Jim,

Yes, the controls disappear when I move the cursor away from the video

Moe

In Chrome 20.0.1132.43 m…..it works fine in hiding for me.

On Win 7 x64 IE 9 the player controls only appear WHEN I MOVE MY MOUSE OVER THE VIDEO, otherwise they do not show.

On Win 7 x64 Firefox 13.0.1 they do not appear there either.

Auto-hides for me. Safari 5 on Mac.

Viewed video in Chrome
The controls appeared and disappeared as I moved the mouse on and off the video.
