embedding Ted Talk to Storyline

Aug 20, 2015

Hello,

I've "generated" a link of a video in www.Ted.com which i'd like to insert to my project in Storyline 2.

Then, i've tried to put it in the project like this:

Insert->video-> video from website-> paste the link.

When i'm publishing to test- it seems for a glance that it "caught" something from the link but it doesn't play.

I know that i can use the "web object" option but i rather not sending the user outside to another window.

Am i doing something wrong or Storyline can not really embed from Ted?

If it not possible, do you have any idea how can i create an illusion so it would look better like embedding youtube videos?

 

thanks,

Reut.

Thank you for the reply Michael.

Well i've tested the same on other computer and it workd just fine.

Both tested on Microsoft explorer with the same version of adobe flash. Do you have any idea what else should i check?

About your suggestion with the webobject- which link should i paste there? The one that Ted provide to embed conclude tags beside the URL.

Regards,

Reut.

Thank you very much for your help.
I succeeded both ways.

Currently the issue is I can't start the video at a specific point in time.
For instance, the following link starts the clip at 03:20 when viewed in a web browser such as Chrome, but starts playing at 00:00 when viewed from my published project:
http://www.ted.com/talks/dustin_yellin_a_journey_through_the_mind_of_an_artist#t-188443

This happens regardless of the kind of host (Google Drive, IIS, etc.)

Is it possible to start TED videos at a specific time?

 

thanks again,

Reut.
