autoplay movie

**smalldairy** · 30 December 2012, 09:20 PM

Recently I purchased Web Designer MX Premium and am starting to build a web site. On my front page I want to play a brief movie one time, but can't seem to get that to work.

The movie was purchased from Shutterstock and converted to MP4. When I try to import the movie into the page, I'm asked whether I want it to start playing automatically, and I click Auto start, but the next dialog that comes up says "Internal program error 1072.k.pl.lt".

So then I signed up for a Magix video widget (I sure am getting tired of having to create passwords!). It accepts the movie and will play it, but I can't see how to get the movie to play automatically when someone opens the page, and without all the video controls.

Can someone help? Should I be using some other widget?

I apologize if this is a redundant post, but the search function doesn't seem to work properly. I get a gazillion unrelated threads.

Welcome to TalkGraphics

I don't have the answer to this, but check back. Some of the members who are more knowledgeable will probably have the answer.

Where does one get/see this widget you are referring too? I have Xara Web Designer 7 Premium.

Look in the Media Widgets folder in the Designs Gallery.

I have seen those but none of them appear to let you host your own video files. Youtube is great but I'd prefer not to have Google advertise on my site.
