How do I embed an mp4 video into my muse website.

I have already experimented with the Video Background tool from MuseAgain and it works great for setting a motion video as the background on the entire page.  However I want to be able to place MP4 videos in specific areas of my site and I want to be able to control the width and height of the viewing window and I want to be able to place different videos in different spots on the page. 

I'd prefer to do this without having to go through YouTube.  Any ideas, help and thoughts on this subject are greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Andy.

You don't check your sites in multiple browsers and devices?

not anymore.   I use to, but never had an issue,   however whenever I got to best buy, apple store or have access to public computers I randomly check.   Muse has been bullet proof which is the most troubling part about adobe killing it.  not sure where to turn next.

Muse is anything but bullet proof now.  Muse remains the same. The machine generated code hasn't been updated in a long time.  Meanwhile, the web and browsers are constantly changing. 

 

If your site still performs well in all browsers and devices, you're lucky.  I don't know how much longer you can count on that though.

Thanks Nancy.   And ugh, what a drag, something I had not really considered is future compatability, I wear a lot of hats webdesigner is only out of necessity.  For this I'm yet more disapointed in Adobe.  For those of us who have zero interest in spending months and years learning DreamWeaver.  I tried once and realized I needed to graduate from the MIT advanced graduate computer science program first.  I kid ,but hopefully you get me. ( BTW I started my first site on PS7, then went to Iweb on apple, now Muse...

 

So all that complaining aside.  It seems like Sparkle is basically the closest and best option, but most of those responses were more than a year old.  Is that what you ahve come to know.  Can you recommend to the Muse community our best options? 

 

You know it's too bad that adobe couldn't just roll the muse functionality into In Design, as I have found so many similarities and at times wished I could upload my ID designs to a website directly,  It would be so handy, especially moving forward with our social distancing, to be able to share an ID design on a custom upload to a website that is fully interactive and as simple to upload as Muse.

 

Thanks for listening

 

Jimmy

Muse was based on InDesign and that was part of Muse's downfall. 

 

I don't know anything about your site or it's requirements.  For some projects, I think WordPress is a good option.  For others, an online site builder like Wix or Webflow might be a good fit.  And then there are stand alone programs like Pinegrow, Bootstrap Studio and others that might do what you need.   It all depends on the project and user expectations.

 

I like working with code, so Dreamweaver is in my toolbox but it's not the only tool I use.

Thanks for your thoughts but you didnt mention Sparkle?  I use a lot of video on my site, linked through Vimeo mostly.  I also have slide shows and presentation from PDF as well.  It's an artists site, with NO commerce.  

Thanks again for fielding these questions:   www.dpmatlosz.com

The Mac only apps, Sparkle and Blocs are a non-starter for me.  I'm on Windows. 

 

I prefer apps that create native HTML, JavaScript and CSS files which can be opened in any plain text or code editor.  Sparkle uses a proprietary file type that only works in Sparkle.  So that's another thing to consider.  What will happen when/if Sparkle ends development as Muse did?

 

In the end though, it doesn't matter what I think.  Try everything and use whatever tools work best for you.
