Need an idea or help to let people choose video

Report · Sep 13, 2017

I've a client who runs a clinic and I'm making 6 or 7 videos for him. But he wants them to be put in an iPad (with thumbnails) and let people choose the wanted videos. But he don't want to put them in a folder. I don't know much about making an app, I'm only familiar with AE, Premiere and Illustrator. Is there an easier way to make something like he wants?

Can this be done in Adobe Flash?

Please reply.

yes, this can be done with adobe animate cc (used to be called flash).

but there's no way that's easy. no mater whether you use animate or some other tool, you still have to deal with apple and get the app onto itunes and that's not easy.

you can get help doing that (on the animate forum for help using animate - which is the easy part) and also for the apple part. but you can expect to invest, at least, 20 hrs of learning to get this done. oh, and it will cost you $99 for an apple license.

or you can hire someone (eg, me) to do this for you.

Thank you for replying. I had another idea of creating a custom webpage and placing these videos. But I don't know if it will be as I expect it to be.

I cannot hire someone. This is my first job.

adobe animate can do that too.

you would create an html5 project (so it can be viewed by mobile devices) and would be much easier than making a mobile app and getting that on itunes. with a little time and effort (and help on the animate forum) you could get that up and running without hiring anyone.

HTML5 <video> with MP4 files is the web standard now. It has replaced Flash & QuickTime MOV. No special players or plugins required. It's natively supported by all browsers and web devices.

You could build a web page in Dreamweaver or Brackets in less than 20 minutes. The basic HTML code is not complicated. See below.

<!DOCTYPE html >

<title>HTML5 Video Example</title>

<body>
