Composer/Modules/Multimedia

The multimedia module is a module to create a playlist of multimedia items such as videos, images, etc.

User Interface

The interface is composed of a top bar to add items to the playlist, the playlist itself, a preview for the selected item in the playlist and options to be applied to the selected items.

Top Bar

Add HTML

Image Editor

Add media

Add media such as videos and images from the hard drive

Add HTML

It's possible to add web pages from a local or remote URL. This is a easy way to add dynamic content such as information that is regularly updated without the need to edit the project.

Atention: Pages relying heavily on javascript can cause memory leaks.

Create image

This option creates a new item in the playlist that can be edited by selecting it and clicking Edit. This is a very simple editor capable of basic image and text manipulation, it's not meant to replace other complex third-party applications.

Create presentation

Please refer to Slide Show learn how to create presentations.
