How easy is it to setup a movie on my website ?
Actually we have a tutorial for that, Tutorial.

Actually, the tutorial gets on to some pretty advanced features toward the end, you can learn almost everything you need to learn just by taking enough time to going through all of the Tutorial.
Is it free ?
Yes, if you install it yourself, jpg movie is completely free.

We even have a tutorial and help pages to get you going.
I have a webcam and I'm doing this all manually, can you help me automate it ?
Yes, we have a help page that explains some of the features included in our automation and steers you towards getting a quote (that starts at around $100).
What if I'm not very technical ?
You can pay us to be your consultants.

We can install and customize jpgMovie for you.

We can even quote you for other consultancy tasks if you need technical skills on a periodic basis.

How do I make the movie start automatically when my webpage loads ?
This is covered in our tutorial.

If you use the movie editor to create your movies, just click on the Auto Play selector.
You can even make it so that it starts playing the movie after a certain percentage of the frames are loaded so you don't have to wait for the very last frame to load.

If you don't use the movie editor, it's almost as easy. You currently have code similar to this:
	mov = jpgMovieFactory( 'movie_div', 'jpgMovieCircular267x200Player' );
	mov.setImageUrlBase( 'http://www.jpgmovie.com/images/site/' );
	mov.draw();
	mov.addFrame( "screen_1.jpg" );
	mov.addFrame( "screen_2.jpg" );
    
Simply add the following line after the jpgMovieFactory line:
	mov.setAutoPlayOn();
    
If you want the movie to start playing before it has finished loading ALL frames you can also tell the player when to start, for example if you want it to start playing after the 5th frame is loaded you can add the following line:
	mov.setFramesUntilPlayable( 5 );
    
How do I change the speed of my movie ?
This is covered in our tutorial.

If you use the movie editor to create your movies, just click on the Speed selector.

If you don't use the movie editor, you can use the setInterval() function. You use setInterval() to set gap you want between the frames in the movie in milliseconds. There are 1,000 milliseconds in a second, so if you want a one second gap you would use:
	mov.setInterval( 1000 );
    
If you want a quarter of a second gap, you would use:
	mov.setInterval( 250 );
    
How do I make my movie start again automatically when it gets to the end ?
This is covered in our tutorial.

If you use the movie editor to create your movies, just click on the Looping selector.

If you don't use the movie editor, you can use the following:
	mov.setLoopingOn();
    
Or if you want to turn it off...
	mov.setLoopingOff();
    
Do you have a more subtle looking player ?
Yes, a few.

1. The Frameless player for movies is pretty much just your photos and a few controls.
2. The Slideshow player has a thin-lined border around it - and that's all.
3. The banner player has no border at all - you would need to build one into your images
