The support from Tim at Mediatricks was well worth the small $$ charge too I tried Viva La Revolution plugin and TimThumb and found Viva much better to use as all the features are controlled from seperate manipulation files.

I wanted to leave this comment because I am really, really new to this stuff. Really new. But with the tools that Show in a Box has provided, I am actually able to follow and understand and learn. I had all these ideas in my head about what I wanted to do with video, but I just didn't know how to impliment them. Now I do, and I can't thank you all enough. I wanted to contribute - donate some money or something - so I'll be watching to see when that button goes up. :) Thanks again. I haven't been this excited about something in a really long time. --Tami Ryan – and everyone who contributes to this site – thank you so much! this tutorial was fantastic and has got me up and running (though there’s still a lot of work I need to do design wise before I can show anyone).

So I've been trying to make the Anarchy Media Player fit into the SIAB themes. It loads a frame from early in the video as a preview and adds a play button over the top. (Something folks have been discussing on the Google Groups list.) If you want to explore this too, here's the link: http://an-archos.com/anarchy-media-player/ But maybe Darren Hoyt's MimboPro theme has a different solution we might be able to use. He has just made open source a PHP script called TimThumb which resizes images automatically to create thumbnails for posts. Here's the link: http://www.darrenhoyt.com/2008/04/02/timthumb-php-script-released/ I don't know whether this can be incorporated into SIAB at all, or whether it's something we will have to use on a theme by theme, post by post basis. Tim Waddell's Vive la Revolution (VLR) is a PHP thumbnailer, too. Initially this was just for Brian Gardner's Revolution themes, but Tim now suggests VLR can work with any theme. You do have to pay $9 for VLR or $14 if you want support. Here's the link: http://mediatricks.biz/demo/ Hope this helps.

Having some issues with getting Videopress Recent Videos (VRV) to work. I'm using K2. Whenever I upload it to my Wordpress plugins directory, it breaks the site (without even being activated) and I get the following error message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function register_sidebar_widget() in /nfsn/content/garagenight/public/wp-content/plugins/videopress-recent-videos/videopress-recent-videos.php on line 302 I thought I found a problem in the PHP file but changing it just threw up other errors instead. Any clue? And yes, I have vPip installed. Help, I'm desperate to use the Recent Videos plugin, it's one of the main reasons i went with Showinabox/K2.

Love the tutorial. You did a great job. Can you tell me what software you used to create the video? Was it Camtasia? I particularly like how you highlighted sections of the web pages and smoothly "slid" from one page to the next. Rob Hi Ryanne,

Love the site.
Love the tutorial.
You did a great job.

Can you tell me what software you used to create the video? Was
it Camtasia? I particularly like how you highlighted sections of the web pages
and smoothly “slid” from one page to the next.
