Video/Flash

Optimize Your Files

Before you upload a video file to the server, make sure it is optimized for the web. Large files will slow the server and provide a less than satisfactory experience for your visitors.

University Video Resources

The university has video services for academic use available through CU Online. You may also contact Integrated University Communications to participate in a University channel on youtube.com or viddler.com.

WMV or Video Files (MP3/4)

Use the Media Web Part for WMV, MP3, or MP4 files. See the Media Web Part section.

Flash .swf Files

ShockWave-Flash (.swf) files are produced using Adobe Flash and generally contain videos, animation or interactive features designed for the Internet. A .swf file format is non-editable and is read by a Flash player.
Once you have created the .swf file in Adobe Flash you can upload and link to the .swf file in SharePoint.

Upload and Publish a .swf File

• Navigate to the images folder where you will upload your .swf file from the Manage Content and Structure menu.
  
• In the Images folder, upload the .swf file by selecting New Item.
  
• Complete the Upload Document screen fields and select OK.
  
• Update the properties for the uploaded document. Select the Content Type (Document, Image, Audio, Video) and complete the rest of the fields and select Save.
  
• Select the check box by the .swf file and choose the Actions menu and Publish.
