Tweak Vimeo Embed Settings #10

Closed scottgarner closed 11 years ago

The current embed setup recommends other videos after the embedded video has played, which could get very confusing if you start watching one of those and see the wrong annotations.

I think Vimeo supports just returning to the beginning and pausing after play. It might also be nice to tweak other embed settings, like hiding unnecessary elements (like the Vimeo logo) and changing the color scheme to match the blue of the site (#336699).

You should be able to save embed settings as kind of a theme (not sure what Vimeo calls it) and easily apply them to multiple videos. I'd be glad to make these changes, but would need the login info.

I made a new embed preset called "ICM Videos" and went back and selected it for all of the videos currently in the channel. Whenever you create a new video, you should be able to just click the "embed" tab and choose "ICM Videos" from the preset dropdown. I also checked "Default this video to HD when embedded" for all videos at the bottom of the embed page because it doesn't seem to be carried in the preset.

Finally, I bumped the main content column size to 800px instead of 640 and sized-up the video accordingly. This is easy to tweak so we can definitely mess with it until we find the ideal size.
