Creating a Gallery and Uploading Videos
-
Watch the Jing Video demonstration of this process.

-
Navigate to the Media Archive at
http://tds.smugmug.org.
- If you have not been there already, enter the case sensitive viewing
password: trevords08$ (If you do not check the box relating to "I'm
using a public computer, don't save this password" being on
a public computer, the password will be saved until you have deleted your
browser's cookies.
- Login as a Media Archive Assistant
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Login.
- Email: tds
- Password: tds566photo (Note this will be saved until you click
logout)
- You will notice when you are on the page now that more features
have been added.
- Click the Add Photos button and select New Gallery

- Complete the following fields:
- Title: Enter the name of the new gallery.
- Category: Select the current academic year
- Quick Settings: Select Trevor
- Click Create Gallery

- If this is your first time importing images into the Media Archive,
you will be prompted to select a method for uploading images. We suggest you
use the Simple method with Internet Explorer so, here's how:
- Click Simple. You will be prompted to download and install some
software. Follow the on screen instructions carefully. The final results
will be in a window that appears such as in the example below:

- Click and drag all of your video files into this window or use the
Add Files or Add Folders buttons. (Note: Your files
must be between 5-10 minutes and they may be no larger than 512mb each. If
you do not know how to determine file size, please ask a member of the
technology team for assistance.) Once you have imported your
videos into the window, it will look like the example below:

- If you should like to remove one of the images, you may do so by
hovering over the image and clicking on the X.

- Click the Upload button. Note: Uploading
videos is very bandwidth intensive. This may take some time. A
screen will appear to show the progress of the file upload:

- When completed a small popup window will appear to say that the upload
is complete. Click OK and click the link with your new gallery name at
the top.

- You will see small thumbnail versions of your videos on the
gallery screen. Note: This may take some time as it takes the system
some time to convert the videos into Flash Movie format.
Embedding Video from the Media Archive in Moodle
- In the thumbnail view, click on the desired video which you would like
to embed.
- Click the small Share button above and select Get Link.

- A SmugMug page will open containing several lines of code. Locate the
line of code next to Web:
- Click on the line of code once. The word "Copied" will appear to
the right. This means your computer will remember the code until you use any
copy functions again.
- Open Moodle and login to a course you may edit.
- Create or edit a Resource or Activity into which you would like to embed
your video.
- In a box that will be visible to your students, locate and click the
Toggle HTML source button.

- Insert the cursor into the position in the relative position within the
existing code. Paste the copied code (CTRL-V or Right Click and Paste.)
See the code example below:

- Click the Toggle HTML Source button again. If the video does not appear,
don't worry.
- Click Save and Display to view your video.
