! VIDEO PLAYLISTS!
! AT OAC !
I discovered a feature of WordPress here at OAC that can create Video Playlists in a post! I have used Photo Gallery quite a bit, once I learned how to use them, and published some of my favourite photographs I have taken at this post, Photography Gallery.
This feature allows you to build a .. Video Playlist .. as the name indicates. Very much like a YouTube Playlist, but for OAC purposes, based on media you have at your own OAC Media Library.
The Online Academic Community has some great Tutorials on Organizing Content and the using The Dashboard too!
All you have to do is have some video media (MP4/M4V
work best) uploaded to your Media Library. Then in your new or already existing Post/Page, click on the “Add Media” button. Under “Actions“, click “Create video playlist“. All the videos that are in your Media library will now appear. Click on the ones you want to be in your playlist and a Blue Checkmark will appear on each one.
Then in the bottom right hand corner, click on “Create a new video playlist“. Then click “Insert video playlist” … 
et voilà …your video playlist is inserted into your Post!
You can change the order if you want by editing the Video playlist quite easily, if you want to change the order from how you uploaded them.
If the OAC Media Library does not want to upload your video, use Handbrake to convert to either MP4 or M4V. Free software for both Mac and WIN and works like a charm for converting SO MANY FORMATS!
A few more helpful links for creating a Video Playlist at OAC. Not all the features mentioned will work at OAC but there are many hints and images at these sites to help create your Video Playlists at OAC. ENJOY!
