It is also possible to embed a smaller-sized customised version of ANNEX into any web page. This feature is a great way to publish research results for a general audience.
You can embed either the entire video, or just a smaller chunk of it. The embedding functionality is accessed by clicking on the Embed button in the top menu of ANNEX, which then pops up a small window where you can customise certain parameters - see below - and then copy the resulting HTML excerpt onto the clipboard. You then need to paste this excerpt into a web page. The process is effectively identical to embedding a YouTube video into a web page.
Hereinafter you will find a list of the customisable parameters mentioned above:
Border: you may decide to: a) show, or hide, the border of the embedded clip, by checking, or unchecking the option Show Border; b) increase, or decrease, the Border width; c) change the Border colour and d) the Border type, choosing among solid, dotted and dashed.
Size: as the word says, you can choose the size of the embedded clip, by selecting among the dimensions proposed (500x450, 500x500, etc).
Default view: through this option you can decide the view mode of the tier content in the embedded clip. You can choose the text (see section 2.2.3.) or the subtitle (see section 2.2.5.) mode.
Tier text font: this option is quite self-explanatory, it simply allows you to change the type of characters of the tier text.
Tier: You can decide to embed a maximum of two tiers, and to choose which ones exactly by using the drop down menus on the right of Tier 1, Tier 2, etc.
Starting point: two sub-options are available here, Beginning and Current Location. Depending on which one you select, the embedded clip will start either from the very beginning of the video, or from the position you had previously chosen as starting point when selecting a specific chunk of video.
The embedded version of ANNEX has some restrictions compared to the full version. There is no support for user authentication, meaning that only freely accessible annotations can be embedded. Moreover, the choice of view modes is limited due to the smaller size of the embedded player. However, the embedded player contains a button to open the same resource in full ANNEX; it can thus be thought of as a sneak peek you can offer to readers of your web page so that they can decide whether to view more details of that particular annotation.
