Re: How to link video to image?

hello; again it would always be easier for everyone to understand what yo want to do exactly if we saw the link, but here goes. you have an image on your page and you want to link that image to a video on another page? if this is the case then double click on the image, a properties box appears, click the link tab and enter the URL address of the page and it should look like this:

http://www.yourdomainname.com/newpagename.html

Use the target blank option if you want to open a new window of the target self option if you do not want to open a new window. Hope this helps.

Re: How to link video to image?

not sure what you mean, but your videos look like they are a streaming/webcam video. The video size with the windows tool in BV doesnot restrict size of video. Plus it looks like you have lost pixelization(i hope I spelt that correctly) with you videos. It appears that you have created an image to link to the video that pops up on the same page. Not sure how to do that. will leave that to the pros here.
