Adding audio and video clips

Adobe GoLive supports a variety of plug-ins that let browsers play back multimedia over the Web, allowing you to place video and audio clips on your page. You can place any multimedia element supported by Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, including QuickTime, Real audio or video, SVG, and SWF plug-ins, on your layout grid or in your flow of HTML code. You can preview supported media clips from within Adobe GoLive.

Adobe GoLive offers a Plug-in icon that you configure, as well as predefined SWF, QuickTime, Real, or SVG plug-ins. If you use the Plug-in icon, you map the file type to the plug-in to determine which plug-in opens which type of file. To make any plug-in available to Adobe GoLive, you must first drag it into the Plug-ins folder located at the same level as the Adobe GoLive application. For more information on mapping file type to the plug-ins installed in the Plug-ins folder, see Setting plug-in preferences.

Important: Before uploading QuickTime movies, you must flatten them--that is, convert them to a "Web-compatible" sequential format.
