still looking for a preloader.
but even if can find one. were looking for one that will show nothing, not even the default bg image loader until page is loaded?

if video is 10mb and takes a couple seconds you just want white timed out page to sit there?

Justin Bernard on August 11, 2015:

my guess is it prob doesnt load the whole thing, but just a little buffer

like right now, you just see the bg image for like 1sec then the vid starts streaming

Taylor Bernard on August 11, 2015:

isnt that what its supposed to be doing?

its either going to preload the video and show the buffer frame or find some way to do it where it just shows white bg?

Justin Bernard on August 11, 2015:

it is, thought there may be a js/jquery plugin way so that instead of just hard cutting, we can know its ready to play, so i can trigger a fade in of the video/etc.  just something to polish it  a bit

adobe media export and AE arent best on compression. just put it on PC and used tool i used to convert video files for torrents. able to get it from 19mb to 10 with not really any noticeable diff quality.
so theres def room to smash it down smaller

Justin Bernard on August 11, 2015:

oh nice.  bounce me that updated ogg and mp4
thx

Taylor Bernard on August 11, 2015:

do you want to go any lower in quality? may can get it a few mb lower and start seeing bit of a drop. its already 1920 wide so its big already

Justin Bernard on August 11, 2015:

low as you can go and it still look good

test it here, just replace vids till good mix of quality vs size

dang, good work
prob lets go with middle ground one unless you think otherwise.  honestly not sure if id see a big diff if not looking at them back to back

do same for an ogg if you can as well, see if there are other file formats we need

thx

Justin Bernard on August 12, 2015:

hey, for now, lets just have the poster image be frame 1, so get me a quality jpg of that

we dont need to recut i dont think, just lets have the poster match it so it doesnt jump so bad

also, pull together the latest files (mp4/ogg/etc) so i can put in my local/latest build

Taylor Bernard on August 12, 2015:

poster image?

and ive already put the other file types in there.

Justin Bernard on August 12, 2015:

poster is what they call the preload image
