- Flash video component tutorial if time left, only "Video encoding with Flash CS3", "Using the video with the component first method", "Making use of captions")
Classroom activities - Monday
- Using Videos in HTML5 overview
- Tutorial: HTML5 audio and video
- Video formats (You can find links in Multimedia container format)
- Video software (you can find links in Video editing and conversion
- Video download
- Vimeo Best quality video repository. For download, you will have to register.
- http://video.google.com/videoadvancedsearch (Google video search)
- Video downloadhelper, Firefox extension. Allows to download from sites like YouTube.
- Using audio in HTML5 overview
- For finding background sounds, see Sound Assets
- Video and audio converters
- Online-convert.com Online converter service for various file formats.
- MediaConverter.org Online converter. Also can download from websites.
- OnlineVideoConverter.com. Online converter. Heavy adds.
- Install FireOgg, a Firefox plugin for creating ogg and webm video files
- Create an HTML5 file that includes video and audio
- Start from http://tecfa.unige.ch/guides/html/html5-video/html5-video-simple.html and http://tecfa.unige.ch/guides/html/html5-audio/html5-audio-simple.html or copy/paste code from below
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8"/>
<title>HTML 5 video element</title>
</head>
<body>
Video (replace the URLS)
<video id="movie1" controls preload="metadata">
<source src="videos/state-of-wikipedia-480x272.mp4">
<source src="videos/state-of-wikipedia-480x272.ogv">
<source src="videos/state-of-wikipedia-480x272.webm">
Your browser doesn't support HTML5. Maybe you should upgrade.
</video>
Audio (replace/reduce the URLs)
<audio id="movie1" autoplay loop>
<source src="audio/guitar.mp3">
<source src="audio/guitar.ogg">
<source src="audio/guitar.m4a">
<source src="audio/guitar.wav">

Wednesday - classroom activities
Topic:
- Using HTML5 Players
- Dealing with a JavaScript library
- Discussion of homework, term project and final
- Principles
- Recall of HTML5 video principles
- Track languages: SRT, WebVTT, Timed Text, etc.
- WebVTT (A video track language)
- Using JavaScript libraries
- LeanBackPlayer exercise
- LeanBack Player
- Download from here and unzip the library within a folder that you could name "project5".
- Create the player code with the [HTML5 Generator].
- Tick most everything except autoplay and loop
- You already can substitute the video file names (but you also can do that later). We suggest doing it now, e.g. use myvideo.mp4, myvideo.webm, etc.
- Keep the browser tab open (you will need to copy/paste the code)
- Create a new HTML5 file using the template below:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8"/>
<title>HTML 5 video</title>
<!-- Insert the header code about here and kill this line -->
</head>
<body>
<h1>Title that you should set </h1>
<p>Intro that you should change ....</p>
<!-- Insert the body code about here and kill this line -->
<hr/>
<a href="http://validator.w3.org/">W3C validator</a>
</body>
</html>
- Fix the URLs in the code:
- In particular substitute the absolute "http://yourdomain.com/" by "".
- Change the name of the video files if needed.
- Change the name of the poster files, i.e. substitute "http://leanbackplayer.com/videos/poster/elephants_dream_640x360.jpg" by "myposter.jpg".
- Test. If the video does show then you likely:
- Put the library in some other place (not the same directory). Fix the URLs
- Deleted some important Line of code
- Have syntax errors. Validate your code
- Using track with LeanbackPlayer
- See WebVTT
- Look at the code of http://tecfa.unige.ch/guides/html/html5-video/html5-video-track-leanbackplayer.html
Homework 5
- Create an HTML5 file that includes at least a video and an audio
- The page should be "meaningful" and usable with respect to a target population of your choice. (I.e. don't create a page for the instructor, identify an objective and implement ...)
- You may copy/paste text and use media files from some other sources under the condition that you cite these sources.
- You may keep the HTML very simple (ie. only use h1 and p tags)
- In order to get a high mark with respect to Artwork and appeal, you should consider using some CSS, e.g. add a float:right property to the video element. In case you don't know CSS at all, you may compensate with excellent contents.
- Submit the files to the worldclass room. Make sure to include the media files unless you link to accessible URLs.
- Due: Monday, week 7, before class
Homework 6
Notice: Technology of HTML5 players will not be tested in the final exam. If you already submitted four good homeworks, you can skip this one.....
- Create an HTML5 file that includes at a video shown with an HTML5 Player. You can use LeanbackPlayer or any other.
- The page should be "meaningful" and usable with respect to a target population of your choice. (I.e. don't create a page for the instructor, identify an objective and implement ...)
- You may copy/paste text and use media files from some other sources under the condition that you cite these sources.
- You may keep the HTML very simple (ie. only use h1 and p tags)
- In order to get a high mark with respect to Artwork and appeal, you should consider customizing the JS library as much as you can. Read the documentation that is provided on the website of the player.
- In order to get a high mark with respect to complexity, you must include tracking data.
- Submit the files to the worldclass room. Make sure to include the media files unless you link to accessible URLs. (We suggest using a zip file).
- Due: Wednesday, week 7, before class
Term project
