Adventures in Teaching and Learning

I have found there to be two main ways. I don’t have Mediator open at the moment, so this is from memory.

If you are exporting an OpenMind document, then you can attach the video to the OpenMind document first, then when you export into Mediator, you get a very nice video package transferred across, complete with play/stop buttons.

However, if you are starting from a blank page, then choose the video button from the top right hand corner, then click and drag the video to the size that you want. A list will appear which you can browse to choose the video that you want to insert. You might then want to resize the video to its original size. After that you need to choose the buttons for the bottom of your video. In the panel which has the buttons, there is one section which has choices of “player” buttons – I can’t remember what that is called at this point. Once you have chosen your player, you need to add an appropriate event to each button – eg click on the play button, and the event is that the video will play, and so forth.

I didn’t have any problems with the sizes of videos – however, before I packaged it onto a disk, I clicked on the button that made all the images, videos etc a smaller size … emm, I can’t remember what that’s called at the moment either! Hopefully someone else will add helpful comments, or I’ll try and remember to add the corrections later!

Anyway, good luck everyone with your Mediator projects! (I’m finding it slow going, but it is still going, so that’s good!)
