Question

How to create a high quality offline showcase/video gallery?

What I would like to do is this:

To have a fully interactive interface (something one could easily pull off in Adobe XD); an interactive offline web-page could potentially serve the same purpose, in order to showcase my high quality 4K work for potential clients OFFLINE. 

It would be something like an interactive video gallery where clients could go through different categories of work on an offline laptop: longer films, shorter films, snippets and extra material would be in different categories (all files stored locally), and the interface has visual elements from my company's name. 

In terms of design this is possible both in XD and in Dreamweaver. However, the problem arises when I'm not able to embed or link to local files of this size. Initially I tried solving my issue with the Anima plugin for XD, but this only supports Mp4, and it needs to be uploaded to an online server to work. I want the files to be local (since they are massive). What would be the best way for me to approach such an endeavour? What apps from Creative Cloud would be better suited than the ones mentioned?

    i don't understand how you could have an offline webpage that would be productive.

     

    you mean you want an offline display of some kind?

    A laptop or an iPad for potential clients to click around on to see my work. Physical customers, not online customers. My work (films) consists of high-quality 4K files (minimum 20-30GB files), and I would rather not embed YouTube, Vimeo or any online link.

     

    I want these files to be accessed through an interface or something looking like a webpage; something more advanced than an open Finder folder of QuickTime-files; which would look rather underwhelming in terms of presentation, you know?

     

    I thought creating an offline/local page in Dreamweaver could work for such a purpose, but beside Premiere/Audition/Photoshop I’m really not too familiar with the CC package to know which app would be optimal for my purposes.

    Once again, appreciate your inputs. And this is the fastest, smoothest route towards what I want to do? Adobe Animate that is not yet optimized for sillicon, that is not natively supporting AIR sdk anymore, and that probably needs a lot of coding research to optimize for the playback of 4K files. I probably would need weeks for this, right?

    i can't say it's the fastest route, because i'm not an expert in all adobe apps.  i can only say it's a job that animate is designed to do.  you can eliminate most adobe apps because they do not interactive products.
