A new Video tab has been added to the album settings window. jAlbum will indicate that an image or video is linked by placing a small arrow in the bottom left corner of its thumbnail.Īdopting video files for the web is a CPU intensive task so making the album the first time can take some time, but it's as easy as that.īefore making the album you may wish to adjust things like video dimension, trim the start and end of videos and select what images should represent them in the album. (See this blog post for more on linking files into jAlbum). The original videos you drop onto jAlbum may be very large, so if you don't wish jAlbum to make a local copy of them, use the alt, ctrl and shift qualifier keys on your keyboard as you drop in order to link the original videos instead. Making a video album is as easy as it can be: Drop a mix of video files (and images if you want) onto jAlbum and press "Make album".

Currently, our emb edded pla yer is being used by the Turtle and Base skins and skin deve lopers are curren tly adopting their skins as we're speaking.

Note: Most skins will need to be updated to fully support video: For videos to work no matter what web browser users are using, skins need to use an embedded video player that has the capability of using either the browser's built in support for playing the MP 4 video format or Flash if the browser doesn't support MP4 (which is the case for Firefox due to license politics). I'm now happy to tell that video now "just works" with jAlbum albums too! Popular services like YouTube and Vimeo use a host of techniques to navigate this minefield so you don't have to bother - it just works. While all web browsers can display JPEG images perfectly, the same is not true for video: There are zillions of video formats generated by your various cameras and while browser "A" perfectly handles one format, it doesn't handle another, and vice versa is true for browser "B". Enjoy this album showing my attempts at the big jump taken with my point-and-shoot Canon camera a couple of winters ago.Īdding videos to jAlbum albums has worked in the past but you'd had to manage the many technicalities of different video formats and video players yourself. Most cameras have been delivering a mix of images and videos for over a decade, so making jAlbum adopt those videos for the web too was a natural next step. Now jAlbum just got even better at telling a story cause you can now mix videos with images with ease. We have the saying "an album is worth ten thousand words" as an album consists of several images -). Everyone know the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words". jAlbum 11 can adopt over 160 video formats for the web - re-encode, compress, scale rotate and trim your videos!Ī picture is great for story telling. If videos are included in a regular jAlbum project, there's no need to pre-process them with the NoPages skin - this batch processing might be useful, however, if you intend to use the videos in another context, or if you want to provide them to others, not as part of an album.It is now as easy to make video galleries as image galleries. If video files are added to the album project, jAlbum will process them, converting them to the MP4 format, placing the index at the beginning of the file, which enables streaming of the video (i.e., it can begin playing before the entire file has been downloaded to the visitor's computer), and reducing the overall file size considerably, generally without compromising quality. It can be used, for example, to create high-quality scaled images from large originals or to produce thumbnails for use in contexts other than a jAlbum-produced photo album. The skin is more in the nature of a utility program, designed to provide a way to take images and videos and have them processed by the jAlbum image and video engines. It does not generate any HTML or CSS files. The NoPages skin, unlike most jAlbum skins, does not produce any album pages.
