Video Field

Purpose

The Video field allows selection of a video file from a media folder. It also allows selection of an image to act as a poster for the video, typically the first frame of the video.

Field Creation

Common field parameters are described in a separate article.

• Title The title is seen and used in the list of fields.
• Label This is what is displayed in the output. If left empty it is set from the content of the Title field but can be changed.

Note: In this example, inclusion of the field type in the Title is for demonstration purposes only. Leave it out in your own field titles.
