224 Chapter 9: EventStream Web Poster You can select any frame from a QuickTime movie to be a Web poster. A Web Poster is a still image on a Web page that is replaced by the full-length movie when the viewer clicks it. For example, if you have a 5-MB movie to embed on your Web page, you could use a Web poster as a placeholder for the whole movie. This helps your page load faster, especially if you have multiple QuickTime movies on a page, and lets the user start the movie by clicking on the Web poster. For more information, see "QuickTime Web Posters" on page 128. The Web poster event also creates a poster frame that is used as a thumbnail for the rest of the movie. This is useful for previews, because QuickTime defaults to using the first frame of the movie for a thumbnail. Often, the first frame of the movie is either black or does not contain an image that conveys what the movie is about. For example, if you are making a music video, it may be more useful to use a frame that contains an image of the artist rather than the first frame of the movie. For more information, see "QuickTime Poster Frames" on page 129. To select a Web poster for your movie: 1. In the Project window, step through the movie to find the frame you want to use. 2. Click Add. 3. Choose Web Poster in the pop-up menu.
