Screenshots or posters

[hulk]

I think it would be a cool idea for members to make a special screenshot or poster of their videos. So on the page that shows the video info it will have the picture. A good 640X480 for wide screen shots and 300x600 for posters. And it can be optional to choose shots or posters, here is an example i made for my trilogy music video;

some people are already doing this. i hadn't done so because the img tag wasn't working when i last released a vid.

i agree it's a good idea, in many ways better than the video description text. but sometimes it goes overboard, and the poster looks too...pretensious.

i like your poster, although i think you should use a different font for the text.

as far as i know the image tag alone wont cut it O.o i cant post the code in here (every time i have tried i failed, even with the code tag) but I Know it can be done O.o

You have to go to a video profile that has a picture (like one of the ones JaddziaDax pointed out), right-click on the page, View Page Source, find where the image has been embedded, copy that code, and paste it into your video info. Then, change the URL of the image to the URL of your image, change the pixel aspect ratio to match your image's pixel aspect ratio, and voila, you can put images in your video's profile.

im kinda lazy to do it myself but to post the code on the forum you have to checkmark the "disable HTML in this post" option just above the submit button for your post. Then maybe lay down some code tags if needed

I´ve copied the code from another amv for my current one. I´m learning xhtml in a course this semester and I was really surprised how he wrote the image into the code:

Code: Select all

<a style="display:block;background:url(http://bauzi.rpg-freakz.de/AMV/Downloads/Deus%20Machina%20-%20Titel%20-%20small.png);width:500px;height:246px;"> </a>

I have to say that I don´t understand the whole code, but the important thing is: width:500px;height:246px; (size of image)

Image tag please =P

That's a trick use (or better said abuse) of CSS and the hyperlink tag.

It turns an inline element into a block element, so that a background image can be attached. With the size it ensures that the background image is shown exactly one time. Without the size it would adjust to its content. Since it is empty it wouldn't show anything. It isn't valid HTML, the hyperlink tag is incomplete. You have luck that the org's site is HTML, so that it is shown despite the error. If it was XHTML, it would stop rendering the site at the mistake.

Bwahaha, what? 640x480 is 4:3.
