Well, hello, there greetings to you. Once again, it is
Matthew McDonald here, and a super duper congratulations to
you on making the exciting decision to pick up the awesome
HLS video. You're absolutely gonna love this new tool, and
you're gonna love seeing your HLS videos and how quickly and
awesomely they play online. Now, just before we go through to the
thank you page, I'm gonna reveal to you a super secret premium
pro version of this tool, which got some extra bells and
whistles. This sign for people that are a bit more serious
about their video. Now, the, the premium pro version it's not
available on the front end. I dunno if I'm ever gonna put it
on the front end, it's gonna be soon available in the members
area. And when it comes out, it's gonna be coming out at a
subscription. But what I'm gonna do here as part of a checkout
offer as a welcome offer is I'm gonna, first of all, show you,
what are the extra tools included in the premium pro
version. I'm gonna give you a special opportunity to pick it
up today, and if you want to do it, I'm gonna give you early
access to it. Right, right now. So you can actually start with
the premium pro version. So we are here back inside of my
WordPress admin on awesome HLS video. I'm gonna go ahead and
activate the Premium Pro version and show you what's different
with this additional tools. So here we can see Awesome HLS
Premium version. And if we go down the bottom here, we've got
a GIF maker built into the Awesome HLS. So you're basically
getting kind of two plugins for the price of one, but one cool
thing here is with the GIF maker. This is a GIF maker for
HLS video. You might not even be able to find this anywhere out
there, and you can basically just choose a clip of your
video. So let's just go from three seconds and we're gonna go
from three seconds to six seconds as an example. And all
we need to do is pick the frame rate, choose your options here,
choose your size and click create GIF. And it's gone ahead
and created my line GIF here. Now you've got full control
exactly how you want to create your gifs. If you're doing an
email campaign, for instance, for a video, you can choose
exactly what part of that video you want to use for your GIF.
You can also use a GIF as a poster as the thumbnail for the
image, if you want to do that as well. So you can also directly
from here, you can save this GIF to the AWS account, and this way
AWS is gonna take care of the bandwidth or for super fast
loading of that GIF. And you can basically download it from here
as well, or you can set it as the poster. And if I just go and
refresh this, you can see we've got a moving poster. That's
gonna be my GIF, which is pretty cool. Now, in this example, I'm
gonna go ahead and put it back to my steel poster, uh, which I
really like for this particular example, the next super awesome
tool inside the Premium Pro version is we can choose exactly
what type of video player we want to use. So we've actually
got controls for each component here of these video controls. So
depending again, how you wanna be using this video player, if
you wanna actually compile your own video player and look at
this, I can toggle on and off any part of this. I've just
turned the controls off there. I can turn off any part of this
control. Maybe I want the timeline there, but I don't
wanna show the duration or I don't wanna show the current
time of the video. Well, I can do that. Maybe I want to have
the picture in picture. Maybe I want the full screen. I can do
those different options. Maybe I don't want the timeline at all.
I can also turn that off. So with the Premium Pro version,
you can actually fully control which controls are visible. The
next super awesome feature inside the Premium Pro version
of Awesome HLS is gonna be the watermark option. So from here,
you can watermark all your videos directly. So all you need
to do is put in your watermark image. There you would put in
your logo, you can also link that logo and you can choose
whereby default. You have that watermark located on the video
and you have a few other options here, including the opacity. So
how visible you want it to be? Let's just go ahead and save
changes. We'll go back to my video here and now you can see
we've got that watermark loading over here. And now when I go
ahead and share this video, whether it's on my website or on
a different webpage, we're gonna have all the videos watermarked.
So using the watermark on a HLS video really gives you an
extra advantage because the only way somebody really could swipe
your video is if they were trying to record the screen and
playing it well, if you pop a watermark on there, they can't
download it. They can't even screen record it without your
branding in the video. As I mentioned earlier in this video,
the Premium Pro version is not available yet. It's not
available on the front end. It's not even available in the
members area.
