Hi,

Can tell me why I can't insert a URL video into InDesign?

(Here is the video I need to insert:https://youtu.be/H9l2PSHHyYM?si=RGnJO4hM0hEay4YN)

I have tried two ways but they both didn't work.

1. I placed video from URL, but when I insert the link above, it said something like this

2. I went to Object>Edit HTML, and insert this:

but it said this:

I am preparing for an art project. Thanks for your assitance in advance. Hope someone can reply to me soon. Thanks again!

Works okay here using InDesign 19.0.1 on Windows 11. Try a new document. Does it work?

Try trashing your prefs.

Hi Bob,

Thanks a lot for your help.

It hasn't come to the exported file. I just can't figure out why you can insert the video but I can't. "Works okay here using InDesign 19.0.1 on Windows 11. " I just can't understand the caveats InDesign told.

So, if I want to show the video in my portfolio as a PDF (interactive), should inserting a URL link the best option?

One more thing that is well worth mentioning. Adobe includes FREE Portfolio websites with your CC subscription. I would encourage you to look into it. It's far more professional to have a website to refer users to. Adobe Portfolio | Build your own personalized website
