Hello,<br />
<br />
<b>What type of video file is it that can loop repeatedly in an email and how do you create it?</b><br />
<br />
I've seen a couple of emails which contain a short (&lt;5 seconds) repeating video clip. The video clip plays right in the email without the need to open an attachment or launch an app. I'm curious to know what type of file that is and how to create it.<br />
<br />
I've got a video editing app called Camtasia so I assume I can create it there but I don't know what type of file it is. <br />
<br />
Also, are emails containing that type of file typically blocked by email software?<br />
<br />
And can audio be included?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Short video clip to play (loop) in email

Camtasia Studio is a software suite for creating video presentations directly via screencast, or via a direct recording plug-in to Microsoft PowerPoint. The screen area to be recorded can be chosen freely, and audio or other multimedia recordings may be recorded at the same time or added separately from any other source and integrated using the studio component of the product. The editor can import multimedia objects and arrange them and add several effects; it can also be used to modify the audio and video as tracks. Deployment can be converted to common video formats including MPEG-2, MPEG-4, WMV, AVI, and Adobe Flash.

Multimedia applications are those programs that integrate more than one media at a time; browsers are the most obvious. However, the term has come to include the use of programs that enable the use of any component that isn’t simple text and static graphics, such as audio, video, animation, virtual reality, conferencing and monitoring.

MultiMedia Applications
