HTML5 export (Ogg, WebM)

Just wondering if I have overlooked a solution to export videos for html5 pages with the "other" web codecs, e.g. at least Ogg Theora and possibly WebM. They appear to be still needed for widest browser support (while the world converges).
Is there a chance to support these codes in compressor? If no, how do you create such versions for your web pages (what is your work flow, tools)?
Thanks in advance!

Have a look at this: http://daringfireball.net/2009/07/ffmpeg2theora
Maybe you can use Quicktime with the Xiph QuickTime Components for Theora conversion. AFAIK Miro can do WebM. Sorenson Squeeze can do both but is $$$.

CP8 - Replay slide on HTML5 export

Hi,
Is there an issue to replay a screen in an HTML5 export ?
I have a widget that works in SWF export but not HTML5...
thanks

Do you mean a slide Replay button? It depends: do you have an On Enter action or not? If not, create a button with this one-line advanced or shared action:
Expression cpCmndGotoSlide with cpInfoCurrentSlide - 1
It depends on the set up of the slide, maybe you'll have to add a statement Continue.

HTML5 export

Hi there,
We've got an question regarding Indesign CS6 an the ability to export your interactive document to HTML5 through the 'Preview HTML5 in Browser' option.
In the following video you'll clearly see this option although it isn't available in Indesign CS6.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzOjbGx5kwc (at 9:20)
Can somebody elaborate on this?
Does anyone knows something about this feature?
We love to hear your response!
Kind regards from the Netherlands.

Hi,
We've got a Kickstarter project to build an HTML5 exporter (which will also work on older versions of InDesign). You can learn more here:

Audacity 1.3.3, how to export OGG files? [SOLVED]

I can't find the way to export files in ogg format using the latest Audacity (1.3.3). Even in the preferences menu it doesn't appear anymore (edit > preferences > file formats, I only see mp3, no WAV, FLAC, OGG,...) Then when exporting, I can't choose mp3 or ogg, just wav and others.
Anybody knows how this new version works?
Thanks.

It is strange. I have the necessary libs installed, also tried deleting configuration files, but still the same. Downgrading to 1.3.2-beta solves the problem, though. Here are some screenshots so you see the problem:
Audacity-1.3.2:
Audacity-1.3.3:
And when I select File > Export, 1.3.2 gives me options (wav, ogg, flac, mp3) while 1.3.3 gives me none

Flash CC update: HTML5 export = jay! Some tips?

Hi,
It's really great that we finally saw the long awaited Flash CC update in which icons didn't get overwritten.
A big surprise is the new ability to create html5 content from within flash (flash creating the canvas element and even converts actionscript 3 code!)
In another thread Colin Holgate offered to give some tips about this.
So Colin, we would really appreciate it!
For example: is it possible to convert external actionscript files (.as)? Or does the actionscript export only work for actionscript that is on the timeline within the .fla?
Thanks!

Some things changed over time, even since Paul did his videos.
The WebGL, and some other features, are still at the experimental stage, and so they decided to remove the option for now, rather than have it not work quite right. Hopefully that will show up in the next update, whenever that is.
You do your HTML5 Canvas coding by using Javascript in the timeline. At one point that worked by putting the Javascript into a comment block, so that the ActionScript compiler didn’t get confused. With this new update you are working in a dedicated HTML5 Canvas FLA, and so you don’t need to use comment blocks.
I don’t believe there is any automatic conversion of AS3 to Javascript.

HTML5 export (first page)

Hi gang,
Just a really quick question but in my exported to HTML5 project, there is always a first screen that pops up with a play button. I've tried to figure out a way to not have that there (which it isn't in the exe export version) but I can't seem to figure it out.
Any ideas? Does it have to be there for the HTML5 version?
thanks!

Hi again,
my answer was already answered correctly in the following thread...

Is the export of webm files possible in AME?

Hello everyone,
please forgive me if I start a new discussion on a well known topic. Is there a way to enable AME to export webm formats? There is a wonderful tutorial by Adobe evangelist Jason Levine on how to work this out on a Mac:
http://boodahjoomusic.com/blog/?p=600http://
However I couldn't translate Jason's method to PC. Is there anyone who has successfully established webm in AME? If possible I would appreciate a step-by-step description very much. Thank you!

Hi John,
yes, that's the thread I am referring to. It would have been interesting to see what the user ExactImage has done to achieve webm encoding with the AME. I am familiar with third party software that can do the job (including firefogg and VLC). If you look at the tutorial by Jason Levine you can see that it is possible to enable AME to export webm on a Mac. Jason installed quicktime filters from the webm project and his AME adapted to that. As I work with a PC I tried to install the direct show filters from the webm project but that didn't have any effect on my AME. It would be great if anyone knew a way.
Thanks for responding!

About Html5 stereo view

As we can see 3D video in youtube if we installed adobe player with that feature called html5 stereo view, my question is is html5 would automactically support 3D? Or is html5 stereo view a special extension or feature towards html5 that only youtube uses? Or would other html5 player can see 3D as well? Thanks

1. HTML5 (MP4,OGG, WebM) video DOESN'T require Flash Player. THAT'S the purpose of HTML5 - to eliminate the need for it. It's why ANYONE building websites for mobile devices uses HTML5 - because tablets and smartphones don't run Flash Player.
2. There IS NO SUCH THING as an HTML5 player. Your browser is the player. HTML is the code in the page and HTML5 is the latest standard for it.
3. There IS NO Adobe Flash Player with HTML5 Stereo View that I know of. Especially considering that HTML5 doesn't require Flash.
Don't know where you got a "Flash Player" with HTML5 Stereo View, but it didn't come from here.

Exporting or Converting video to HTML5 format?

Hi all. I was wondering if there was a way to Export or Convert a video into HTML5 playable formats with Premiere Pro CS5 & CS5.5? ie: .mp4, Theora .OGG, .WebM(vp8)...I tried exporting it before but did not find any options that were suitable. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Jim. I exported the video with the H.264 and it worked in the browsers no problem. Sucks that it doesnt have the other options in Premiere yet but I managed to find a video converter that did the job. Thanks again.

Final Cut export for HTML5 Video tag

I need to export a video into OGG, WebM, and MP4 for use in HTML5 video tag. Is this possible in FCP or are there any good plugins/software that can export to those various formats?

FCP can export MPEG4 and its variants such as H.264.
Googling .mov to .ogg and webM brings up several options for other software, none of which are familiar to me.

HTML5 video encoding

What are people using to encode video for HTML5? The players I have looked at want .mp4, .ogg, and .webm. Media Encoder (At least the CS5 version) doesn't do the last 2. I tried the Miro encoder, but that has no controls, and has quality issues. I'm looking for a professional solution (hopefully not crazy expensive) for OSX.

heres some info re: html5 and video and various mobile devices and also browsers.. there's 2 different pastes ..first is from a doc file I have ..then theres a txt file....the info is about 9 months or a year old ...
plenty of links in articles to follow thru
=====
This is all done without JavaScript and requires only two video encodes, one Ogg file, and one MP4 file. Instructions on how to convert your videos to these formats are provided further down this article.
It’s compatible with HTML 4, HTML5 (valid markup), XHTML 1 and additionally also works when served as application/xhtml+xml.
For a full browser compatibility list, see the Video for Everybody Test Page.
The Code
Here follows the full source code. It’s very large because it’s fully commented.
You can easily compact this down (one such example follows afterwards).
To save time you could use the Video for Everybody generator by Jonathan Neal to generate the code snippet according to your options.
Do not miss the important notes below or you will be kicking yourself after wasting hours trying to get it to work.

It’s advised you subscribe to the RSS to be kept informed of new releases in case you get caught out by new bugs introduced by vendors *cough*Apple*cough*. The version isn’t <1 for no reason.
IMPORTANT Notes
Ensure your server is using the correct mime-types. Firefox will not play the Ogg video if the mime-type is wrong. Place these lines in your .htaccess file to send the correct mime-types to browsers
Replace __VIDEO__.MP4 with the path to your video encoded to MP4 (a warning on using H.264) and
replace __VIDEO__.OGV with the path to your video encoded to Ogg.
Optionally you could also include a WebM video.
Replace __POSTER__.JPG with the path to an image you want to act as a title screen to the video, it will be shown before the video plays, and as a representative image when the video is unable to play (Also replace “__TITLE__” for the poster image’s alt text). Not all browsers support the poster attribute, it’s advisable to encode the poster image into the first frame of your video.
2. AddType video/ogg .ogv
3. AddType video/mp4 .mp4
AddType video/webm .webm
DO NOT INCLUDE THE poster ATTRIBUTE (<video poster="…">) FOR iOS 3.x SUPPORT. There is a major bug with iOS 3 that means that playback will not work on any HTML5 video tag that uses both the poster attribute and <source> elements. This was fixed in iOS 4.0, but of course for now there will still be a large number of OS 3 users. This bug does not affect use of the poster image in the flashvars parameter, which you should retain
Replace __FLASH__.SWF with the path to the Flash video player you are using. I use JW Player (download and place ‘player.swf’ in the right place), but this could be any Flash resource including YouTube. Sample code for using YouTube can be seen on the Video for Everybody YouTube Test Page
Safari buffers the video automatically even if autobuffer is absent. This has been fixed in WebKit nightlies with a change to the HTML5 spec; the “preload="none"” attribute on the video element prevents autobuffering. A current bug in WebKit causes Safari to perpetually display “loading” until the play button is clicked
The iPhone will not autoplay. This is done to save bandwidth which may cost some users.
It is not a bug, it’s a feature
HTML5 video on Android is badly broken. Resolution support varies from one handset to the next (often just 480x360), the fallback image usually doesn’t show and the code requires special adjustments. The Android emulator is completely useless as it doesn’t represent any real hardware and does not play HTML5 video. THERE IS NO WAY TO TEST ON ANDROID WITHOUT A PHYSICAL PHONE. BLAME GOOGLE.
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) now finally supports the controls attribute, so that VfE can work, but this still leaves all previous Android versions in the lurch. Use MediaElement.js or VideoJS for better Android support.
Some web hosts, in trying to save bandwidth, gzip everything by default—including video files! In Firefox and Opera, seeking will not be possible or the video may not play at all if a video file is gzipped. If this is occurring to you please check your server / hosts and disable the gzipping of Ogg and other media files. You can switch off gzipping for video files in your .htaccess file by adding this line:
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(og[gv]|mp4|m4v|webm)$ no-gzip dont-vary
With thanks to Bas van Bergen for this tip
There are some instances where people will simply not be able to view the video inside the web-page (e.g. Opera Mobile / Mini). It is absolutely essential that you provide download links outside of the video to ensure your message gets through
A current bug in Firefox means that when JavaScript is disabled (NoScript for example) the video controls do not display. For now, right-click on the video for the controls, use autoplay on your videos or rely on users allowing your site in NoScript
The Eolas ‘Click to Activate’ issue affects Flash in Internet Explorer 6 / 7 as the ActiveX controls are not inserted using JavaScript—however Microsoft removed ‘Click to Activate’ in a later update patch. This issue will not affect users who have run Windows Update.
Please also note that Windows XP originally shipped with Flash v6, and H.264 playback in Flash requires v9 or 10. Depending on what Flash video player you use, this may cause problems if you intend to support users with out of date Flash versions
A parsing bug in Camino 2.0 / Firefox 3.0 means that the image element inside the video element will ‘leak’ outside of the video element. This is not visible however unless some kind of background image or colour is applied to that image element. You can stop this by either wrapping the video element in another element or modifying the code from “<source … />” to “<source …></source>”. This works, but will not validate as HTML5
In IE9 beta, both the HTML5 video and Flash video underneath play at the same time. This does not occur in IE9 Platform Preview 7, which is newer than IE9 beta. It is assumed that an update to IE9 beta will fix this issue
Adding Custom Controls
Since VfE doesn’t come with any JavaScript the HTML5 video will use whatever native interface the browser provides. This is in the best interest of the user because it provides an interface best tailored to that device. For example, the iPhone always plays video fullscreen so that the edges of the video are not cut off in the browser and the user does not have to pan around to get it all in view. The iPad provides finger-friendly sized controls.
Different native video controls in Opera 10.5 and Google Chrome
Designers however don’t like the inconsistency and would like a unified set of controls. Both MediaElement.js and VideoJS use VfE and custom controls you can style how you please with CSS.
Encoding the Videos
Full instructions are beyond the scope of this article, please refer to Mark Pilgrim’s Video on the Web article for an excellent introduction to video formats and encoding instructions.
There is no restriction on the resolution of the Ogg video
The iPhone can play MOV and MPEG4 videos with a maximum size of 640x480 and only allows the Base Profile for H.264 (See Apple’s own instructions for the specifics). If your desired video is bigger than that, please read the instructions below for how to adjust the code to use hi-res videos whilst keeping iPhone compatibility
The iPad can play H.264 up to 720p, 30 FPS
Firefox will only play Ogg (WebM is also supported in Firefox 4), and it will not degrade to Flash if there is no Firefox-compatible video file
For best results I recommend including the poster image as the first frame when you encode the video
Using HD Video
If you would like to use a larger video than 640x480, you can use a QuickTime reference movie to auto-select between an iPhone compatible version and the full-size video. In QuickTime Pro use the ‘File » Export for Web…’ option to output a reference movie (you can also use Apple’s MakeRefMovie tool for finer control). You’ll have three files along these lines: “video.mov”, “video-desktop.mp4” (or m4v) and “video-iphone.mp4”. Now replace the two source elements in the code with these three: (substituting the right file paths)
<source src="video.mov" type="video/mp4"></source>
<source src="video-desktop.mp4" type="video/mp4"></source>
<source src="video.ogv" type="video/ogg"></source>
What happens here is that the browser will play the QuickTime reference movie (Safari / iPhone / iPad) which will auto-select between the desktop and iPhone versions of the video automatically. If the MOV format isn’t supported by the browser (Chrome for example), we point to the same MPEG4 video that the QuickTime reference movie uses.
A Warning About H.264
I made Video for Everybody because since I don’t have Flash installed I wanted to create a way websites could provide me access to their videos (currently needlessly trapped inside Flash) without having to lose viewers from older browsers. VfE is not a tool I would use myself (other videos on this site are HTML5/Ogg only) because of the threat that H.264 represents to freedom on the web. Websites that are already serving H.264 video to users using Flash have already made the conscious decision to buy into H.264. I am not making that decision for you with Video for Everybody.
Just be aware that if you decide to use H.264 video for commercial use then you will need to purchase a licence from the MPEG-LA. Be warned that ‘commercial use’ may also include the scenario where your website has advertisements, even though your use of video is unrelated to those adverts. If you are making any any money in any way from a page that also includes an H.264 video, then you should contact the MPEG-LA for help on licencing.
On the 27th of August 2010, the MPEG-LA announced (arguably in response to growing WebM support) that the terms of “free use” of H.264 Internet broadcast would not change in 2016. This does not change a thing.
This is similar to Nikon announcing that they will not charge you if you put your pictures up on Flickr, or HP promising that they will never charge you additionally if you photocopy something that you printed on a LaserJet.

Using WebM Video
On the 19th of May 2010 Google released the VP8 codec as open-source and royalty free with the full intent to drive broad adoption via industry backing and switching YouTube over to the new format in the long term. “WebM” is a rebranded Matroska container utilising VP8 video and Vorbis audio.
This represents major competition to H.264—Mozilla, Google and Opera have already added support into special builds of their browsers and even Microsoft have about-faced on their H.264-only policy and said that IE9 will support WebM—but only if the codec has been installed by the user. Obviously absent from any support is Apple, and this means that unfortunately codec-fragmentation will continue into the foreseeable future so that you will still need to provide more than one video encode.
Adding a WebM video to Video for Everybody is easy, just add it to the source list! It has to go below the MP4 video due to an iPad bug that ignores anything but the first source element, and ideally above the Ogg source so that browsers that play both Ogg and WebM choose the WebM video first. Here is an example source stack:
<source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
<source src="video.webm" type="video/webm" />
<source src="video.ogv" type="video/ogg" />
Note the new mime type, which you will have to add to your server.
At this extremely early stage for WebM I will not provide any help via e-mail on how to encode or use WebM video. If you don’t know how to use it already, it’s not for you—wait until support is added to your favourite tools and more information is readily available. I will update this article as the situation with WebM progresses.
================
mobile device video info
The options actually match those of the most recent iPod Video, which uses H.264 video, up to 1.5Mbps, 640 x 480 pixels, and 30 frames per second with low-complexity AAC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz stereo audio. On the lower end, bandwidths up to 768Kbps, 320 x 240 pixels, and 30 frames per second are also used, known as Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3. Both options can be output with .m4v, .mp4, or .mov extensions.
iTunes. The simplest way is to use iTunes built-in converter. Apple makes it fairly simple to convert videos to play on the Apple TV or iPod, which are also conversions that can be used on the iPhone. Any video that can play in iTunes, then, can be converted to play on the iPhone, and local files can also be synced directly to the iPhone via iTunes sync conduit, making for a fairly easy process. Two downsides: first, iTunes uses a "lowest common denominator" approach, meaning that there are no customized options for encoding into H.264. Also, some users have reported a bug in the most recent version of iTunes that creates video files with no audio, so don’t toss your original video clips until you’ve had a chance to test out the new H.264-compressed video clips.
Handbrake. Handbrake is the next most-popular encoding tool for both Windows and Macintosh platforms, and it’s available in a command-line version for Linux. Handbrake does a lot more than just H.264 conversions, but for purposes of this article, Handbrake would be used to transcode an MPEG-2 transport stream or other non-H.264 formats and codecs into H.264 video files. Speed on the product is quite good, and it has the option of a single-profile conversion (like iTunes) or the ability to customize encoding or profiles and then save the tweaks for future encodings. Handbrake has made a name for itself in DVD-to-iPod conversion, so the extension of Handbrake to the iPhone is one that many users trust.
On any of the last three products, the H.264 files output from these products can be added to the iTunes library for uploading to the iPhone. For those choosing to put their iPhone-compliant videos on the web, it’s also helpful to choose hinted streaming to allow the videos to begin playing immediately rather than waiting for the entire cache to fill.

So, you want in on the fun? Do you want to use some HTML5 video tags on your site right now? No problem. Fasten your seat belts, as we’re about to take a tour of the wonderful world of HTML5 video.
Browser Support for HTML5
First, let’s deal with some very basic stuff, like where this will work and where it won’t. As you can see in the table below, only the latest versions of most browsers support native video playback using HTML5’s <video> tag.
HTML5 <video> support by browser: Fx 3.0 Fx 3.5 IE7 IE8 IE9 Safari 3 Safari 4 Chrome 3+ Opera 10.5
Since Firefox 3.0 and IE 7 & 8 lack any support for HTML5 video, you’ll have to come up with a fallback plan for serving video to those users. Depending on what you want to do you, could fallback first to Quicktime and then, failing that, to Flash. That’s the strategy used in Video for Everyone (note that as of v0.4, Video for everyone no longer falls back to QuickTime).
To keep things simple we’re just going to fall straight from HTML5 to Flash.
Formats, Codecs and Technicalities
The next thing you need to understand is what is actually happening when you load and play a video file in your web browser. You’re probably used to thinking of video as .mp4 or .mov files, but unfortunately it’s not that simple. The actual file formats are just containers. Think of them as a bit like a .zip file — they hold other stuff inside.
Each container holds at minimum one video track and, most likely, one audio track. When you watch a movie online, your video player (most likely Flash) decodes both the audio and video and sends the information to your screen and speakers.
Why does this matter? Well, because the process of decoding what’s inside the video container file varies. To know how to decode a movie, the player (which is your web browser in the case of HTML5 video) has to know which codec the movie was encoded with.
When it comes to web video there are two codecs to worry about: H.264 and Theora.
There’s a huge debate right now among web developers, browser makers and just about everyone else as to which codec is right for the web. We believe that a free, open codec without patent and licensing restrictions is the best solution for the web. Sadly, neither codec exactly fulfills that dream, so for now, let’s just skip the whole argument and be practical — we’re going to use both codecs.
Why? Well, have a look at the table below, which shows which codecs work where and you’ll quickly see that there is no one-size-fits-all-browsers solution. Only Google Chrome can play both H.264 and Theora.
Codec support by browser/platform: Firefox Opera Chrome Safari IE 9 iPhone Android
Ogg Theora
H.264
So, you may be thinking … if HTML5 video doesn’t work in IE7 or IE8 and it means I’m going to have to encode my videos twice, then why bother at all? Well, the best answer is simple: mobile users. If you want iPhone and Android users to be able to see your video, HTML5 is the only way to do it — Flash support is coming to Android sooner or later but for now HTML5 is the only option, and we all know Flash doesn’t run on the iPhone or the iPad.
The HTML5 Code
Here’s how to actually embed your videos. First, we encode video in both .ogv and .mp4 containers. Encoding video is beyond the scope of this article, so instead we suggest you check out Mark Pilgrim’s online book Dive Into HTML5, which has a whole chapter devoted to understanding video encoding. Pilgrim’s encoding suggestions use free software to get the job done, and in the end you’ll have two files — one .mp4 and one .ogv.
Now it’s time to unleash those movies in pure HTML glory. Here’s the code:
view source
print?
1 <video width="560" height="340" controls>
2 <source src="path/to/myvideo.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"'>
3 <source src="path/to/myvideo.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'>
4 </video>
Yes, that’s it. What we’ve done here is use the <video> tag to specify the dimensions of our video, and to denote that we want to use the browser’s default controls. Then, within the video tag, we’ve added two <source> elements which link to our video files.
The “type” attribute of the <source> tag helps the browser understand which file it should load. It’s a bit of an ugly chunk of code that needs to specify the container format, the video codec and the audio codec.
In this case we’ve assumed standard .ogv and baseline encoded H.264 video as per Pilgrim’s tutorial. See the WHATWG wiki for more information on which video types you can specify.
And there you have it — native web video, no plugins required.
Dealing With Everyone Else
What about IE7, IE8 and older versions of just about any other browser? Well, for those users, we’ll fall back on Flash. To do that, we just use an <embed> tag within our video tag:
view source
print?
1 <video width="560" height="340" controls>
2 <source src="path/to/myvideo.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"'>
3 <source src="path/to/myvideo.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'>
4 <object width="640" height="384" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
5 data="path/to/swf/player.swf?image=placeholder.jpg&file=path/to/myvideo.mp4">

Now any browser that doesn’t understand the HTML5 video tag will just continue on its way until it hits the object tag, which it should understand (note that the order, mp4 before ogv, is important for iPad support — Apple requires that mp4 be the first video file).
Of course for this to work you need a Flash video container. JW Player is one popular example, or you can roll your own using Adobe’s tools. Also remember that we still haven’t handled the case of an older version of Firefox with no Flash plugin installed (maybe your users are surfing your tubes with an outdated Linux machine). You can always add good old text-based links to the video files as a catch-all fix for anyone who can’t, for whatever reason, see either the HTML5 or Flash versions.
Conclusion
Embedding HTML5 video isn’t significantly more difficult than using Flash, especially if you’ve been using H.264 video files in your Flash player — which is exactly what YouTube has done with its HTML5 beta.
While we’re concerned about the licensing and patent requirements of H.264, it isn’t hard to notice that if you skip Theora and make all non-H.264 fall back to Flash, you’ve still saved yourself a considerable encoding headache. In fact, that’s probably the best practical argument against Mozilla and Opera’s refusal to support H.264.
If you’d like to use some of the more advanced aspects of HTML5 video, be sure to check the SublimeVideo player, which offers very nice JavaScript-powered set of custom controls. Also be sure to have a look at Video for Everybody, which makes for more complex code but handles just about every use case you could imagine. And there’s a handy Video for Everybody WordPress plugin as well.

Right sequence and export settings in Premiere Pro CS6, video with still images

I am trying to run a video on my website (self hosted). This video, made with Premiere Pro CS6, consists of still images with different video effects.
This video is only 50 seconds, but when I transform this in the ogg, webm and mp4 format, I obtain file with large size and the quality is not good.
Could you please guide me to find out the right sequence and export settings in Premiere Pro CS6 to obtain a video for the best possible quality on the web?
A precise description of the settings would be awesome.
Thank you
Silvia

Make the export setting the resolution you want to use on the web.
Make the sequence settings accordantly to these export settings

Is it possible to pull a variable from an embedded html5 page into captivate [6.0]?

So. I'm attempting to replicate the functionality of the drag-and-drop quiz question widget in an html5 elearn. A colleague of mine who is a jquery whiz was able to create the drag-and-drop questions as html pages, and I used this third-party widget to embed them in my elearn. There's a variable in the html that tests whether the answer has been dropped in the right box, and I'm hoping to use a button to evaluate this and add (or not) the result to the quiz score. Is this possible? I've discovered that there's this handy library, but I have no idea how to go about using it. Can anyone give me any pointers as to doing this, or let me kow if I'm attempting to do the impossible?
I've also heard that drag and drop is natively html compliant in Captivate 6.1, but is a Creative Cloud license the only solution available to someone with little programming experience?

I don't know if Philip has updated this for CP6?
Ooh, good point. I will try to contact him.
The other thing is, last I checked, Infosemantics's widgets aren't supported in html5 exports, which is where this whole dilemma comes from.
Also,
not in the Creative Cloud, but only available to subscription users (or ASA) not to boxed license users. Captivate is not part of the Creative cloud
That explains why I'm having so much trouble finding anything about it there. Thank you!

How to install WEBm Plug-in Manually (unable to figure this out)

I need to export a WEBm file. (A prior thread is still unanswered)
There is a 3rd party plug-in that allows this, but I don't seem to be able to figure out how to manually install it.
fnordware/AdobeWebM · GitHub
(this is a thread posted by Adobe last year: WebM export from Adobe Premiere Pro &... - Adobe Premiere Pro | Facebook)
I have a Mac, latest OS as well as updated Adobe CC.
It says I should have a Plug-ins folder.
I get as far as Common, and there is only a Dynamic Link folder.
There is, however, a Plug-ins folder outside of the Common folder.
I tried to copy the bundle file into that Plug-ins folder, but it didn't work.
also tried creating the folders Plug-ins
then 7.0
then MediaCore and dropped it in there, but still it didn't work
Then I replaced 7.0 with CC, and it didn't work
(I'm not in the Users folder. It's definitely the HD Library)
Any help?
Here are the install instructions:
Installation: Copy the plug-in to the shared MediaCore directory:
Mac: WebM Premiere.bundle -> /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore
Win: WebM.prm -> C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\7.0\MediaCo
For older versions of Premiere, replace "7.0" with "CS6" or whateve
Usage: When installed, you'll be able to import a .webm file into Premiere.
Go to File > Export > Media and choose WebM as the format to encode WebM video.
WebM should also appear as a supported format in Adobe Media Encoder.

I am editing my post because I found the answer in another post, this works.
"Maybe you already know and have tried this, but there are two libraries on the Mac. There is the Macintosh HD/Library and there is the Macintosh HD/Users/[Home folder]/Library. Just looked at mine, and I can get to my plugins on the first library, but I don't have a plugins folder from the second."
