Adding Youtube Video to Animate CC

[jdellaneve]

Hi!

I am trying to add a video to AnimateCC, but every time I add a link for it in import video it never seems to work. Is there another way that I can upload a video?

I am trying to create a banner ad that will have a video attached to it on the ad. Not just a link.

Help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Videos embedded in banner ads are pure evil, so my recommended solution is: Don't.

That being said, can I assume you've already tried typing "embed youtube in banner ad" into Google?

Yes I did try doing that but many of them I didn't find very helpful.

Would you recommend uploading from a library rather than using youtube? Or using code?

For a banner ad, the easiest thing would be to use Google Web Designer instead of Animate CC.

They have a Youtube component so you don't have to deal with any complex coding: The YouTube component - Google Web Designer Help
