Adding, grouping, and repeating media items
Media items
Media items are a presentation’s basic unit of media content, and each type of item contains references to a particular
kind of information. For example, a video item contains pointers to the presentation’s video content, and an audio
item points to sound content. To add content to a SMIL presentation, you add the appropriate type of items and
specify the media source files for each item.
When adding items, use the Parallel Container if you want the items to play simultaneously, or use the Sequence
Container if you want them to play in a sequence. You can also set up items to repeat a specified number of times or
indefinitely.
You can add the following types of media items:
Video icon Use for video files that display continuous motion, such as a RealVideo file (.rm).
Animate (SWF) icon Use for animation files, such as .swf files.
Audio icon Use for audio files, such as RealAudio files (.rm or .ra).
Image icon Use for JPEG, GIF, PNG, or RealPix files.
Text icon Use for static text files (.txt).
Text Stream icon Use for streaming text files, such as RealText files (.rt).
Media Reference icon Use for other media elements, such as .svg files.
Brush icon Use to paint a solid color or pattern in place of the media object.
Transition icon Use to add a transition between items.
