00:05 hello everyone this is Joe workman and
00:07 today I'm excited to show you the new
00:09 preloader stack preloader allows you to
00:13 as you scroll down dynamically load the
00:16 images on a page as they are shown
00:18 you'll notice as I scroll down this page
00:21 the images are dynamically loaded and
00:23 they are not downloaded until the
00:25 content is shown to the user to set up
00:30 preloader simply drag and drop your
00:32 desired image into the preloader stack
00:35 now in edit mode preloader will show you
00:37 a preview of what your loading image
00:40 will look like inside the settings head
00:42 you can actually configure this to be
00:44 many different default images or you can
00:47 actually provide your own custom loader
00:48 image if you have one you can also
00:51 change the speed at which the the images
00:54 fade in once they are loaded you can
00:58 have a transparent background on your
00:59 preloader image you can turn on or off
01:04 loading of images until the user Scrolls
01:08 to see them it can also show the image
01:12 title and what this will do is it will
01:14 take the title tag of an image and it
01:17 will display it as a caption on top of
01:20 the image now some more advanced options
01:22 are available with preloader at the very
01:25 top of the preloader settings you won't
01:26 see enable drop zone what this does is
01:30 it allows you to drag in any other stack
01:33 content that contains images and the
01:36 images contained within those stacks
01:38 will be pre-loaded for you this is great
01:42 because it doesn't limit you to just an
01:44 image let's say you want a fluid image
01:47 stack in there or maybe you have an
01:49 entire gallery that you would like to
01:50 add and preload you can easily do this
01:55 by dragging and dropping all of your
01:57 stacks that you'd like to preload images
01:58 for within the preloader stack another
02:02 option with this stack is to pre load
02:04 all images and what this will do is it
02:07 will look at every single image on your
02:09 web page and apply the pre-loading
02:12 technic
02:13 weeks to them now if you're going to be
02:16 using the pre load all images technique
02:18 you actually don't need to add anything
02:20 to the preloader stack just leave it
02:22 empty and throw it at the bottom of your
02:24 web page I hope you enjoy the preloader
02:27 stack now go forth and make your
02:29 website's great thank you very much
