Try your hand at creating your own video clip and embedding it in a web page. If you're a Windows user, you might try using the free Windows Movie Maker software, available online at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/moviemaker/. If you're on a Mac computer, try using iMovie, which is part of the iLife suite of applications (http://www.apple.com/ilife/).
The techniques and tags covered in this hour for embedding media also work with Macromedia Flash files. To find out how you can use Flash to put interactive animations in your web pages, check out the Flash home page at http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/.
