HTML5 Video Embed Tutorial

You’ve probably heard about HTML5 and the ability to embed video. Well this sounds all well and good but its been a bit of a mission getting my head around it and finally getting to a point where it actually works. I first started looking into it about 2 months ago when creating videos for the new Tribe website. Me and Ben (the web developer there) spent quite a bit of time scratching our heads and testing different methods until we came up with a solution that should work across all platforms.

In this tutorial I’ll try my best to explain the process of getting HTML5 video to embed into a WordPress Blog, you’re not limited to a WP blog, you should be able to adapt it for any type of site. Bear in mind I don’t have a great deal of knowledge in the web area, so I apologise now if this is a little sloppy.

Remember only HTML5 supported browsers can view the video, this currently includes the latest versions of Chrome, IE9, Firefox4, Safari, Opera and most mobile devices such as the iPhone, iPad etc.

I came across the following video the other week and was amazed by the effect mustardcuffins had created. I spent a long time trying to think how it was done.

Drift from mustardcuffins on Vimeo.

I was producing some work for a project when I came across the pixel motion frame blending option in After Effects. I realized that this is what gave this stop motion that awesome smooth blending transition effect.

The next day I went out and took some photos to see if I could recreate that effect.

All these shots were taken with the Nikon D90 and the 18-107mm kit lens.

First test. Not quite as smooth mustards but its nearly there.

 

 

More examples and a tutorial after the break.
