iModeler tutorial – Sharing Youtube videos on iModeler
Recently we have updated iModeler's capability to incorporate content from other sites, including videos from Youtube, Vimeo and a plethora of other services.
Briefly speaking, any video found on Youtube can be easily relayed on iModeler or included in your iModeler writing. All that is required is placing a video link in the body of your article.
To show you how, here's a short pictorial on how to create a great-looking video post at iModeler.
-
- 1. Videos from Youtube and Vimeo (and other similar services) can be shared directly in your iModeler articles
-
- 1. Sharing a Youtube video on iModeler is simple. Here, a new article is being created. To include a video, we'd need to grab a link to it from Youtube.
-
- 1. Head on to Youtube to locate your video...
- 2. Once you've located your clip, look for the "Share" option. If the author of the video has permitted sharing to other sites than Youtube, the "Share" option will be available. Let's click it.
-
- 1. A popup dialog box will appear.
- 2. Here's a link to the video.
- 3. Use this button to copy it directly to the clipboard.
- 4. Optionally, you can also set the start time to jump directly into selected part of the clip.
-
- 1. Back in your iModeler article, paste the obtained Youtube link. That's all there is to it!
- 2. Remember to place the link in a separate line.
-
- 1. As soon as you save the article, iModeler will automatically expand your video link into a full video player for the clip.
-
- 1. Imodeler will also automatically extract a cover picture from your video for that extra appeal in the headlines. Enjoy!
Thanks, Martin...
Thanks for the tutorial.
A test, from where I work
Sorry george, videos get expanded in articles, not yet in comments - that’s coming in the next release...
10-4 Martin, jumped the gun a bit
Actually, this turned out to be a 5 min fix. Done 🙂
Cool, thanks Martin. Just another reason why I love this well run site. Kudos, sir.
I’m thinking this may infuriate or delight in equal measures...
I. Can't. Even.
I'm not sure if understand the tutorial, but I love the action in that video, David.
Its a great tool and I have used this feature a few times to help tell a story or add a bit of history to the post and model.. But be careful not to infringe on any copy written material. And to give credit to the original authors. Otherwise your all good.
The copyright and sharing of videos are stipulated by Youtube's terms of service...
