What are the different ways I can share my Montage online?
We've made it easy to post an online link to your creation or embed a Montage directly into another site.
When you've finished your Montage, select "Share Online" button to get information on your options and the codes
you need for sharing. Here's a list of your options for sharing a Montage online:
"Get Codes" allows you to put the video player directly into your own web site or blog entry with either an embed code or url.
We also offer several easy posting options including: Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, MySpace and Blogger.
Select our Email share option to email a link to your Montage to friends, family and Yahoo! Groups or Google Groups.
"Share to your TiVo Channel" allows you to share your montage to your personal TiVo channel.
Family and friends can then view your Montage on their TiVo-connected televisions.
"Share to Mobile" allows you to send your Montage to a mobile phone.
Can I embed a Montage in my own web site?
Yes! When you've finished creating your Montage, select "Share Online."
This takes you to a page with sharing and posting choices for your project.
To embed your creation directly, click the "Get Codes" link, choose a video player and select "Apply Player Style."
Now embed codes and a url will be available on the Share Online page. Just select and copy the code for your creation
(control-C on your keyboard). Then sign in to the site you want to post to and edit your page entry.
Paste (control-V on your keyboard) the code into the page. Note that you may need to make sure you are in an "Edit HTML" mode before pasting.
These codes will work with accounts on most community sites including: MySpace, Xanga, Blogger and many more.
When I copy and paste the code to share my Montage into my public page
(for example: MySpace, Blogger), nothing happens. What do I do?
First, make sure that you've copied and pasted all of the code.
Second, make sure that HTML is enabled (it's sometimes known as
"Advanced Text" or "Rich Text" mode). If it isn't, you will see only
the code, not the Montage.
Third, clear your browser's cache of temporary internet files. This
will force the browser to "download" a new version of the page.
If you still can't get your Montage to view properly, please contact us
at customercare@onetruemedia.com for further assistance.
How do I share my Montage by email?
Once you've finished your Montage, select "Share Online". Now select the email icon. This will ask you to select a player style,
then it will take you to the email form. Simply enter your family and friends' email addresses, edit the message, and hit the "Send" button.
They will receive an email with a link to your Montage. They can also buy a DVD copy of your Montage.
How do I share to a mobile phone?
To share to a video-enabled mobile phone, select "Share Online" from your Project Home. On the Share Online page you'll see a
"Mobile" icon. Select this option, enter the destination mobile phone number(s) and click "Send." That's it! The recipient
should receive a mobile message shortly with a link to view your Montage.
What's "My Share Page"?
"My Share Page" is your own personal page where you can display the Montages you've created. Your friends and family can view
this page via a link unique to your account. To see your Share Page, click on the "My Share Page" link at the top of the page when you are signed in.
To add or remove a Montage to your My Share page, go to the Project Home for the Montage that you would like to add. Click the
"Share Online" button. Under the Share Options section you will see the "Show on My Share page" option.
Checking this box will add your Montage to your My Share page.
To send the link to your Share Page to someone, go to your Share Page and select the URL in the box by clicking "Select."
Copy and paste this URL into an email, instant message, or your Facebook profile to share it with others.
What's the Public Gallery?
The Public Gallery is a page where anyone can post a Montage for the world to see. Anyone can view, share, or buy
the Montages posted on the Public Gallery by clicking on the "Watch" tab. B
efore you post your creation, make sure that you don't mind everyone being able to view or purchase it!
To post to the Public Gallery, begin at your My Montages page. Click on the project you'd like to share and then
click on "Share Online." Check the "Show in Our Gallery" option in the Share Options section. We will prompt you to
select a category. Once the category is selected, your Montage will be added to Our Gallery.
The changes I've made are not seen by everyone I've shared my Montage with. How do I fix that?
If you've posted your Montage online, such as to MySpace, or sent a share link via email, you just need to click
"Update Shared Version" when previewing your video. Here's how you do that:
Begin at your My Montages page.
Click on the Montage you are trying to share.
Select the Share Online button and the select "Update Shared Version" button at the top of the page.
You will only see the option to "Update Shared Version" if you've made any changes to your project since you
first shared it (via email or linked to your blog, or posted it to the Public Gallery, Facebook or other community pages).
All shared versions will be updated when you click the "Update Shared Version" button.
If you've shared a Montage to TiVo, a mobile phone or posted it to YouTube, you will have to reshare
the video to make sure the latest version is available to these viewers.
