FV WordPress Flowplayer User Guide
Here's how to insert videos with FV WordPress Flowplayer.
First you will need to:
- upload the video (preferably to /videos/ directory on your site)
- alternatively you can just have the video URL ready
- know the video height and width
- upload the splash image
Are you still using the default WordPress tinyMCE editor?
- First place your cursor to the desired place. Then click the FV WordPress Flowplayer icon and a dialog window will appear.

Just place your cursor and click the icon - Enter the video file name (if it's not in the /videos/ directory, you need to enter the absolute URL), video width and height. If there is a splash image, enter it's absolute URL. You can also put some HTML into the HTML popup message.

Enter video information - Press Insert and you will see the video in the post. If you want to edit it, just place the cursor into the shortcode and hit the FV WordPress Flowplayer icon again (sorry, you can't do this in HTML view).

Edit the video - The same dialog window will appear, so you can edit the video there and update it.
- When you save your post and open it, you will see the video in it with the splash image:

If you are using Foliopress WYSIWYG
It's pretty much the same, but you hit a different button and get a slightly different dialog window.
- The button is located in the Foliopress WYSIWYG toolbar:

controlbar=show - Show the splash image also when the video finishes playing
splashend=show - Example of the popup at the end of the video

Click play or share the video at the end
