Camtasia Video into a Wordpress Blog

lisaann · 10-21-2008, 03:53 PM

I have searched and searched for the answer to this since last night, but give up now.

How can you put a camtasia flash video into a wordpress post?

Seems like it should be easy, but wow, it sure isn't.

I've downloaded about 5 plugins and none of them work. The closest thing I've found is this ... WordPress | Camtasia | SWF | Embed KnowledgeConstructs.com

However, my camtasia html file is completely different than what's in their example. So I cannot seem to make this work either.

At this point, I'm happy to buy something. I would just like the video AND the player in the post and that's where the problem seems to stem from. I can get just the video with autoplay, but I wanted the player along with it.

I would be very grateful if someone can point me to a solution that works.

Thanks,

Lisa

Lisa,

I found a free one that works - did this in about 10 minutes start to finish (not the video itself - just getting in the plugin and putting the video in a post): Central Net Marketing - Test Video Plugin

Here's the plugin I used:

See if this one works for you.

WP offers you the possibility to enter HTML into a post.

Camtasia exports as html with flash embeded.

All you need to do is copy from the html file exported by camtasia (everything between the <body> and </body> tags and paste it into the post.

Also, make sure you have uploaded your video file(s) to your server and the paths are correct.

I think that's it.

Hope it helps,

True.

Also, Iframing works as well. I did that on a few posts...

Mike,

I downloaded the plug-in you recommended and it worked. That sure is a time-saver as it is very simple compared to many of the other options I have tried (including copying and pasting the code from the .html page, which from my experience is not that simple).

So thank-you very much. I really appreciate the help.

Sincerely,

Lisa

Cheers Mike that worked perfectly for me too. I was having formatting problems adding video to my blog but it now is easy to do - saved me loads of time and pain!

If you want to see my blog post it explains how to put a new cool Tag Cloud into your blog which I think is pretty cool - the tag that is not my video!

I'm not sure if this is a no-no for your plans, but you could always export the file as an mov and then just upload it to YouTube. Then you get the best of several worlds - easy embedding, smooth streaming, no extra bandwidth costs, extra exposure.
