Add Photobooth Movies to WordPress – Using WordTube

Probably the best overall aspect of using WordPress is its seemingly never ending library of plugins.¬¨‚Ć In a school setting with primarily Mac’s one easy way to capture Video (with Audio) is to use the program Photobooth – easy to use – fun for students and staff.¬¨‚Ć To post and embed one of these videos into WordPress is simple using the plug-in WordTube or the Add Video button.¬¨‚Ć WordTube works with the latest version of WordPress as of the time of this writing (2.9.2) and easily accepts movies from Photobooth.¬¨‚Ć You can download version 2.2.2 directly from Here – or better yet add it through WordPress directly – see Podcast Below.

First off the advantage to using WordTube is that you can resize a movie, embed it directly in a wordpress post/page and use a built in player to start and stop.  If you use the built in Add movie button in wordpress you will save time but the movie will open in a different windows and will appear only as a link in your post.

Here is a Podcast on how to get WordTube, convert – upload – and embed a movie from photobooth nicely into A wordpress Page.
