Online:

Show Video From a SacCT Course

Within SacCT you can upload your finished captioned video to your course for students or anyone else who has access to your SacCT to view.

• You will need to be the instructor of the course or have build/edit permissions within a SacCT course in order to be able to upload files, however, assuming you are the  course instructor, you should already have build/edit permissions by default. 
• See Quickguide for more information which includes pictures and a step by step guide to uploading and showing your video from your SacCT Course.

Another alternative way to show from a SacCT course is to

• Upload the three files, .rt, .rm, and .smil onto your SacCT course page
• Navigate students to download all three of these files onto their computer.
• At that point, the student would simply have to organize a folder with all three of these files and play the .smil file.

Show Video via Websites (Create Links)

If you wish to post a video to a website or SacCT course and your video will be streamed from the campus media server, this will entail you to create links to your videos to be used to stream videos from the server or to embed videos into your website.

Download and read the Produce a Captioned Real Media Video Quickguide which provides instructions on how to create hyperlinks that point to the captioned videos streamed from your media server folder. Find more information on how to create a hyperlink to your captioned video by reading the following pages:

In Class:

Show Video In Class From a DVD/CD/USB

To show the video in class using a USB, simply plug your USB into your computer and copy and paste the entire production folder, or the .rt, .rm. and .smil files into your USB. When you get to class, load up your USB and simply click on the .html file that is in your production folder and the video will load automatically within your Internet browser on your computer.

For showing via CD, make sure you burn the production folder you produced in Camtasia or the .rt, .rm, .smil files onto a Data CD, which operates very similarly to a USB – all you need is to copy and paste the previously mentioned files onto the CD. Load the CD on your class computer and click the .html file (or .smil file) within the production folder and it will show on your Internet browser.

Show Video From Campus/Classroom Computer

To show a video from a campus/classroom computer make sure the three files, .rm, .rt, and .smil are located within a folder on that computer. Then click on the .smil file and the video should begin to play within RealPlayer while the Captions appear on the bottom of the screen.
