I'm trying to publish some streaming quicktime movies on my web site.
I want to show a preview of each movie by automatically showing the
first frame, e.g. the movies should to be in a streaming but paused
state when the web page loads.
Any advice on how to accomplish this?
Maybe the easiest way is to create a poster movie, like those on some
of the movie trailers on the Apple site.
Export a frame from your streaming video
Open such image file in the QT Player Pro
Save as a self contained movie
Embed that self contained movie in HTML with an HREF to the actual
streaming media or reference of the streaming media. To have the
streaming media replace the current poster movie, use the "target"
attribute with a value of "myself". You may want to have the
streaming open in the QT Player instead; for that "target" attribute
use a value of "quicktimeplayer".
