I am seeing WONDERFUL footage that I want to use for my website.

PROBLEMS:

1. HOW can I upload to site WITHOUT the player (quicktime or whatever).

2. HOW TO RESIZE. I want to purchase about 10 images, and want capability to resize according to need for respective website pages.

PLEEEAZZZEEE HELLLPPPPPP !!!

I am under a deadline, and about to miss it.

Downloading the file does not take any player and most web sites already have the capability to play these clips. If you don't have video processing software to downsize you might look at getting Quicktime player and then for less than $30 you can upgrade it to the pro version which will allow resizing to whatever you want. QT pro is very easy and should do almost everything you need. There are also other freeware software video processors that you can download. HDVSplit and MPEG Streamclip should also help. I'm sure most artists here will be happy to downsize any clips of theirs for a very reasonable price if you purchase the full size version first and they can still find the original on their own harddrive. Hope that helps a little. Many others here are far more knowledgeable than I. Best of luck and thanks for shopping at Pond5, we know you had lots of options and we are all proud to believe P5 is the best.

try embedding the file in the site, using something like this, where video.mov =movie file name and if you don't want it to loop remove the loop line and change both width and height to suit your movie size

<OBJECT classid='clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B' width="1920" height="1080" codebase='http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab'>
<param name='src' value="http://mydomain.com/video.mov">
<param name='autoplay' value="true">
<param name='controller' value="false">
<param name='loop' value="false">
<EMBED src="http://mydomain.com/video.mov" width="1920" height="1080" autoplay="true"
controller="false" loop="false" bgcolor="#000000" pluginspage='http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/'>
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

to downsize you can use http://www.squared5.com/ as Don suggested

hope that helps
