00:05 everybody Joe workmen here and in this
00:08 video we're going to be looking over the
00:10 total CMS video feature it's going to be
00:13 really short and sweet because the
00:14 videos are really super easy to use so
00:18 let's jump in and see how easy it is so
00:21 here we have the total CMS demo project
00:23 that ships with total CMS and you can
00:25 download any time from our documentation
00:27 portal and if we look at this page and
00:30 we scroll down we'll see that we have a
00:31 video here okay and this video is
00:34 embedded it is a YouTube video and it is
00:36 embedded via the CMS and we can
00:40 configure that really easily via the
00:42 admin page so if we go over to the admin
00:44 page now and if we scroll down we will
00:48 see that this is where we can edit the
00:50 total video it's just a simple easy text
00:54 input area and you can paste in the URL
00:57 to three different types of URLs you can
00:59 have a YouTube playlist which we have
01:02 here okay we can go ahead and put in a
01:05 YouTube video URL okay which i will save
01:09 now and you can also use vimeo video
01:12 URLs as well all you need to do is paste
01:15 the URL in here and as we see here I
01:18 changed and saved a new video here and
01:21 if we look at our content area you'll
01:23 see that that video has changed to the
01:25 new vimeo video that i posted ok so as
01:29 you see it's really simple and let's see
01:31 how the actual video stacks are used to
01:34 do all this so here we are in edit mode
01:37 for the admin page that we were looking
01:38 at and if we look at this you'll see
01:41 that the settings are really simple for
01:43 the video stack it's just simple text
01:45 input and you configure the CMS ID just
01:48 as you do with edit every other CMS
01:50 stack ok you can show or not show the
01:53 Save button ok just like the normal text
01:55 acts and then you have the ability to
01:58 have a placeholder right so it's really
02:00 not much to the admin side of this it's
02:03 just the CMS ID you can customize the
02:05 placeholder text if you want ok and that
02:08 basically that's it that's all you need
02:10 to do on the admin side now if we were
02:12 to look at the contents
02:13 here we are in the edit mode for the
02:15 content page if you notice here i have
02:18 the content video stack and if we look
02:20 at the settings you'll notice that
02:21 there's a little bit more settings than
02:23 in the admin side so essentially the
02:25 first thing is going to be the CMS ID
02:27 you need to tie those together just as
02:29 any other CMS stack then you have the
02:32 ability to set the video to be Auto
02:33 played or looped so if you want the
02:36 video to keep looping or restarting okay
02:38 and then the other settings here are for
02:41 styling the player now since the players
02:45 are styled differently between Vimeo and
02:47 YouTube you're gonna have to set up
02:50 color schemes for both um if you want
02:53 your customer to know that they can put
02:55 in both URLs right but Vimeo you can
02:58 pass an explicit color for their player
03:00 but then for YouTube we just have access
03:03 to say you know dark or light theme and
03:05 then the progress color do we want it to
03:07 be red or white so YouTube has less
03:09 player options um in terms of
03:12 flexibility for color but you can set
03:15 them differently um depending on your
03:17 preference so really that's it for the
03:19 video stack right I mean it's really
03:21 simple but powerful all you have to do
03:23 is put in the URL copy and paste it from
03:25 the browser paste it in the admin area
03:27 save it and the video magically shows up
03:31 in your content side right and the
03:33 content side we have a few settings for
03:35 colors and options for the video players
03:37 right but the cmas does all the work in
03:40 terms of getting the embed code creating
03:42 the embed code customizing those player
03:45 options for us and then dynamically
03:47 creating and showing that video on our
03:49 web pages right it really couldn't be
03:51 any easier so I hope you enjoy the CMS I
03:54 hope you're utilizing it to make your
03:57 websites very powerful and have a great
04:00 day thanks for watching bye
04:08 you"}]
