Question

inserting Camtasia video files into compiled HTML help in RoboHelp V7

I have looked in help and throughout the forums and do not see an answer to this one. I'm sure people have done it but I can't find it.

I have a video produced with Camtasia. I am attempting to put it into a compiled HMTL help system. I have the source so can produce it in a different format if needed Camtasia. I have tried flv  mp4, and wmv. When I insert them into the help file and compile the only one I can get to play is the wmv file. It uses Windows Media Player and is a little clunky in that it requires a click on the play button and shows library items listed.

So, is there a way that I can have it play an flv or swf file produced by Camtasia in my compiled HTML help? I need to produce both compiled and WebHelp so I need a format that will play in both.

Thanks in advance for the help

Hi there

What version of Camtasia are you using?

You should be able to make it work. I'm thinking the easiest way will be if you produce your Camtasia as a SWF.

Tell us more and we can probably provide what you need.

Cheers... Rick

Camtasia 6.0.2

I've tried the swf but I must be doing something wrong.

Thanks,

Hi again

Okay, I've got the same Camtasia version handy.

Unfortunately I forgot to ask you how you were wanting to use the content. There are two ways.

  1. You may insert it into an existing page along with other content on the page.
  2. You may simply import the HTML page Camtasia creates and open that page by itself.

Which method are you trying to use?

Cheers... Rick
