QuickTime movies for Web pages QuickTime Movies need to be flattened to play in web browsers. Use the movie player that came with QuickTime to flatten your files. If you don't see the term "flatten," choose "Save as cross platform," B. FTP - Working With remote files Under some conditions, you may need to change the FTP mode that Clarus Home Page uses to communicate with your service provider. If you experience Upload/Download failures of any kind, change the FTP Mode in the FTP Settings dialog box (choose either PASV or Active). C. Resizing Movie Files Movie files such as QuickTime VR panorama or AVI may insert very small under some conditions, and must be be resized manually. D. Inserting AVI files Insert .AVI files through the Insert Plugin menu item. AVI files will not show in the Insert QuickTime movie dialog. ================ 5.
