Adding Video from Animoto.com to ArtWanted.com

We recently launched the ability to create unlimited portfolio videos through our integration with the Animoto.com video platform.

Once you have created the video, this quick tutorial will show you how to get your new video(s) on to your ArtWanted.com portfolio video page.

Step 1) When looking at your Animoto.com video, click the SHARING drop down list in the upper-right corner and select EMBED CODE from the list of options.



Step 2) Click the COPY CODE button on the dialog box that pops up to embed your video. (The HTML code you need will now be in memory.)



Step 3) Return to the ArtWanted.com Video Page and PASTE (CTRL+V) the HTML code from memory into the box asking for the code. Click the SAVE button.



Done! When you visit your ArtWanted.com portfolio page, you will see the new VIDEO tab has been added to your online portfolio. When that link is clicked, users will be able to watch your video(s).



This works the same way if you have videos on YouTube or another website that you want to be posted on ArtWanted.com - Simply copy the HTML EMBED code from the website with your video and paste the code into the ArtWanted.com video page. Have fun!

When I pasted the videos it loaded about five of each one. Should I delete the extras??

Actually it loaded 17 of each video...???

Susan - It looks like you may have just copied or pasted the embed code multiple times on your video page. We have gone ahead and removed all the duplicates, so only the two videos you created show up on your video page now. Let us know if you need any other help.

I didn't think so, but thanks. Susan

*The video tab is a great addition to the site and I comend you all for adding it!

**I do have a suggestion...maybe you could put a place on the tab page where people can comment on the video, the artist, speak their mind...etc...

***Of course, as I usually add to my artwork stories, descriptions....

....as usual, just my thoughts.

Thanks,

John Michael Piper

Unfortunately, Animoto is a paid service. There is a 14-day free trial. However, if you want to change your video later or create a new one after the 14 days you cannot because the trial has expired. Or is there another option for Artwanted members?
