NEW! The ATS Member Media Portal (Soft Launch)

I couldn't watch them – on an Intel Mac, MacOSX, Firefox. It said I needed to install a plugin (Flip4Mac) but then couldn't install the plugin.

That's what happened to me (not Flip4Mac, but a plug-in that wouldn't install). But you know what's weird? I made all 4 movies exactly the same way. Used all the same tools... Very strange. Probably some setting in Movie Maker or something.

Thanks for all the input!

Question: Was this feature disabled already or is it under construction? I am not getting notifications of media comments in my U2U inbox (or email for that matter). lol

OK, for all the mac users who are having difficulty with some video formats, may I suggest a relatively inexpensive but useful little application called any video converter pro.

Can I test embedding a video here?

Edit: Cool! It works!

Having a little fun with the video portal this morning.

Oh, my God! That was so funny, I laughed till I cried! Great subtitles and perfect timing! Good job!

I got this when I tried to upload a picture.

Try make the picture smaller. I get that message too, when I try to upload bigger pictures. Btw, I've managed to upload pictures resized to 1760x1320 with success.

I had to resize this image to 1000x745 to get it to work.

Is there any way to convert avi video without having the sound track out of sync with the video?

I use this program..

WM Converter

Totally free and unrestricted and it converts to just about any format. It's darn quick too..

When I use this, I just convert to the .flv and then upload and have had no "Time Lag" problems..

Let me know if it works for you

Semper

The media section is a great idea I've always wanted to make a "NWO/Conspiracies For Dummies" type video I might do it now and upload. If anyone is interested in helping U2U me thanks.

Wow, about time!

I might even be able to spend some time here now as you are allowing a quality of medium that is near and dear to my Art!

I'm not a writer, I'm an image maker. It's been such a chore to post images of any caliber without the quality needed for the subjects. I just got frustrated. Asking for comments on a UFO image where the UFO is two pixels wide just did not seem worth the trouble. Like counting angels on the head of a pin, a futile waste of time in many cases.

With quality media support I can be here for a reason. Now, if we could make a living doing this I would live here. As it is, I need to be elsewhere to attempt to eek a living. "Eek!" being the operative word.

Thanks for evolving and gathering no moss.

Import it into Movie maker, then save it to your computer.

Can you kind folks help me out.

Is there a way to link pictures from our MATS photo album to ATS/BTS threads using tags like [ats] ?

reply to post by schrodingers dog


Yes! The tags are right there on your media page. On the right hand side at the bottom, I think.

It says "Embed in ATS" It uses img tags

Mmm, I must be dense because I don't see that.

I've uploaded 3 pics on to my "Pictures Gallery" and I don't see a "Embed in ATS" link there. My "Media" page is empty as it doesn't seem to count pictures as "media" so I can't tell if there is such link there for videos.

reply to post by schrodingers dog


That's the problem, if you want to "publish" your pictures you must use the "upload media", like for the videos.

The Portal software "understands" that it's an image and if treats it as such, giving you a link for sharing it on ATS.

reply to post by ArMaP


Ah, thanks ArMap, I will delete and re-upload as media.

I guess I should use the same pic for both "thumbnail" and "upload."

Edit: It's strange though to have each picture as a media entry. It would seem much more intuitive to be able to link pics from one's picture gallery.

I agree, I made the same mistake myself, that is why I know how to do it now.

Actually, photos that aren't critical to ATS topics should go into your personal gallery, as indicated on the upload page. You can define as many galleries to organize your images and photos here.
