Creating Web links from markers

When you create a marker, you can type a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) under Web Links in the Marker dialog box to create an automatic link to that site. After Effects embeds this information within movies. When these movies are included in Web pages created by programs such as Adobe GoLive, the embedded URL is recognized at playback, initiating a jump to the specified URL. You can even target a specific frame within the site.

Web link markers work only with layer-time markers and supported output formats, such as QuickTime, Macromedia Flash (SWF), and others.

To create a Web link:

1. Create a layer-time marker and then double-click it to open the Marker dialog box.
2. For Web Links, type the URL for the site.
3. To activate a specific frame in a site, type the filename of the frame for Frame Target and click OK.

To view or modify information for a Web link:

1. Double-click a layer-time marker.
2. In the Marker dialog box, view the information and make any changes you want; then click OK.
