Is there no way to resize a youtube (or vimeo) vid that I import onto a webpage in Web Designer 9? From what I've read and tried, resizing it to be smaller crops the 'placeholder' and not only does the video look cropped on the page, it plays that way, too. Gotta be a way around this!? Hoping you know of a new workaround....and much thanks in advance!
I think you can change the size in the placeholder script.
Welcome to TG.
If you go into YouTube, find the video you wish to insert (Share) into Xara, below there is normally an option to Share. (In the menu About / Share / Add To / etc menu bar)
Click on the share option. This opens a further menu Share this Video / Embed / Email
Click on Embed option. This will give you the iframe code to paste into a Xara placeholder Body html.
Just below this is the option to set the video size. From the drop-down menu select the one you desire. This changes the iframe text.
Select the text, copy & paste into a placeholder in Xara.
Thanks for your info... I resized the video in Youtube to a smaller size. It looks fine on my Web Designer page now, but when I preview the page, it's still cropped (see yellow border in attached image....the viewer is in the upper left corner of my webpage). I lose about 20% from the bottom and right side of the player. Any further thoughts? And thanks!Attachment 102169
Don't know whats causing that. Can you send me a link to the YouTube video you want to embed & what size you want it?
Sure: it's http://youtu.be/F1PGiIlXsrg which is just a test vid, but the final vid would be similar. When I went to the Embed, the vid was listed at 560x315. I reduced by more than half, to 230x129, which fit onto my webpage design nicely. I'm hoping a person can change the viewer size when they watch it. Or not? Much thanks for helping me out!Quote:

I'll give your suggestion a try! Much thanks for the info!

I often embed video and a small tip I picked up is to add this (?rel=0) to your code at the end of your path. This prevents the associated videos appearing and the end of the video, sometimes the content of these links is inappropriate.

it works just the same for vimeo - click share then copy the embed code then change the height and width to 100% in the placeholder code then click apply then adjust the size of the video accordingly .
