00:10 hey everybody Joe here and I'm really
00:12 excited to show you the new video Pro
00:14 stack now you might be wondering Joe why
00:17 do we need another video stack I mean I
00:20 think Weaver space has like 10 video
00:22 Stacks right now some of them have like
00:25 fancy animations some have content
00:27 overlays some do slideshows right but
00:30 video Pro is the video player if you
00:33 need a serious video player if you have
00:36 visitors coming to your site that are
00:38 going to watch
00:40 videos this is the stack you need it is
00:44 a serious video player for serious video
00:47 usage and it has a lot of features that
00:50 you will see nowhere else so let's dive
00:53 into video Pro and first you'll notice
00:55 that there are a ton of really great
00:58 features that aren't available in almost
01:00 any other video product out there on the
01:02 market and if we look at this first demo
01:04 here of video Pro you'll notice that
01:06 there is first off the look and feel of
01:08 the player no matter which browser or
01:11 device you view this uh player from it
01:14 will look identical this is key for your
01:16 site looking consistently across all
01:19 your
01:19 visitors and next as this demo shows is
01:22 we actually have device specific videos
01:25 so if your viewer views a video from
01:27 your iPhone versus their desktop you can
01:29 actually serve up a different resolution
01:32 video so your website can perform as
01:35 fast as possible on every
01:37 device if we go ahead and play this
01:40 you'll notice that there is also great
01:42 markers so you can use markers to add to
01:45 your timeline to denote key points of
01:48 your video next is playlist support so
01:51 instead of just having a video player
01:53 that plays one video what if we were to
01:55 actually click on this button and you'll
01:57 notice it we'll have multiple videos
01:59 that we can play all you have to do is
02:01 Click them and you can play all of these
02:03 videos directly from the video Pro
02:07 Player now probably the flagship feature
02:09 here is going to be our
02:12 ctas this is something unique that I
02:14 haven't seen in any other add-on in the
02:16 entire market now if we play this video
02:19 what we'll notice is that as the video
02:22 approaches this timeline marker we will
02:24 actually have a CTA open up inside the
02:28 video player the video pauses I can then
02:31 interact with this widget and you can
02:32 add whatever Stacks content you want
02:35 inside of this
02:36 CTA let's goe and close this CTA it
02:39 we'll notice that once this video is
02:41 over we actually have another option for
02:44 ctas and this is use our call to action
02:46 stack and what you notice is when this
02:49 video is done we have a call to action
02:51 opening up a peekabo peekaboo instance
02:54 um on our web page directly below the
02:56 video now iall to action has tons tons
03:00 of different external triggers that you
03:01 can actually um launch such as light
03:03 boxes here we had peekaboo there's
03:06 really infinite possibilities now uh
03:09 with triggering ctas with your
03:12 videos now the last demo we have here is
03:14 a very interesting demo where that we
03:16 can actually play a video on Hover now
03:18 this is really interesting to give us
03:20 some really um Dynamic product pages
03:23 let's say you have um a video for every
03:25 single product all the user has to do is
03:27 hover over it and then the video will
03:30 dynamically play just by hovering over
03:35 it now before we go let's just quickly
03:37 show you the interface within stacks and
03:41 when you add video Pro to the page
03:42 you'll notice that the settings are
03:44 super easy to do at the top we have our
03:46 poster image we have a bunch of options
03:49 for the video settings some Behavior
03:51 what controls you want to actually see
03:54 okay we can have options for hiding the
03:57 play button or adjusting the size of
03:59 that play button
04:00 uh we have the ability as you saw to add
04:02 as many markers as we want we can
04:04 customize the color and the size of
04:06 those markers that get displayed within
04:08 the video timeline and here we're can to
04:11 define a commod delimited list of values
04:14 of where we want those markers to show
04:16 up in the
04:18 timeline as you saw we had playlist
04:20 support and extra options for adding
04:22 extra buttons when we
04:23 do we can add transcripts so this is
04:26 where we can add in as many um caption
04:29 and subtitles and chapter markers as we
04:33 want for our videos you can actually add
04:36 uh Clos captions for multiple languages
04:38 as well as you see in the videos we can
04:41 add as many different video sources as
04:43 we want and each Source tracks not only
04:46 the URL to that video but also what
04:49 actual media query or what breakpoint we
04:52 want that particular version of that
04:53 video to actually be displayed
04:56 at and lastly here's an example of our
04:59 ctas when you enable ctas in the video
05:02 stack as you see you can actually have
05:04 multiple ctas and you just drag and drop
05:07 your Stacks that you want inside of the
05:09 ctas to actually configure what will be
05:12 displayed to the
05:14 users so there you go as you see video
