Linked URL

You can also use Post Movie feature to share your personal media and asset files with other users on the Internet. Because Comixware comes built-in with a powerful asset linking capability. It allows you to include a link of your personal assets in your movie, so that other users can retrieve these assets automatically from your server when your movie is being downloaded form the Gallery. The "link" is the URL of a web server where you store your personal assets. When couple this feature with password protection, you can share your "private" contents with your friends or family exclusively.

How To

The way to share your "user" assets is to first compose your movie with such assets. (See Media Compatibility to learn the file format options for your assets.) You can build your movie entirely with your own assets or mixing them with Comixware's supplied assets. Upon your posting of such movie Comixware will detect that it contains user assets and ask whether you want to share your assets with others by a Linked URL. If you answer "YES", you'll be led to the next screen which has an URL field for you to specify a server address where you stored (or will be storing) your user assets. For example:

http://www.mywebsite.com/myassets/ (where "myassets" is the name of the directory where you store your sharing assets).

Enter the URL and press the "POST" button. Voila, your movie is now posted in the Gallery with a linked URL that allows users all over world to download your custom creation.

Note:
a) You should store all your sharing assets (BG clips, scene objects and sound track) pertained to one movie in ONE location (web directory). Since the Linked URL accommodates one address per movie.

b) If you answer "NO" to asset sharing, your movie will be posted without your user assets. When such movie is downloaded from the Gallery, the spots where assets are missing will be stood in by the default placeholders.

Post Movie of Mixed Linkages

If you post a movie that contains both of your own assets and of previously downloaded third party assets, at the Linked URL screen you need ONLY to enter the URL of your own assets. You don't have to worry about the other URL(s) where your third party assets originally came from. The linkage to those assets should have already been embedded in your movie. And when user downloads such movie, all assets from different URLs will be gathered automatically in user's download.
