Ian, Thanks for asking. Yes, I did figure out the video part.. The key was to get the video onto my 'puter and getting it saved where I wanted it (in my case, within a folder on my C drive called Genealogical Images which contains ALL of my other types of media). Once I got it on my 'puter, then the process was exactly the same as linking a picture or a document.
I had used the Internet Website at first, but I knew I couldn't depend on that web address remaining stable; and I also know about the Wayback Machine for finding those old sites. But that wasn't what I wanted. I wanted all the media in the same location on the local 'puter (and therefore easier to backup too). So I knew downloading was the solution - I just didn't know how to do it since I couldn't find a download button on YouTube. The key: got to find that other program for the download and I understand there are several out there. YTD did it for me this time. But the potential malware issue does concern me. But the other question was dealing with Sound Media. I have played with the slide show in Legacy and I wanted to add music to it. I've got the music on the 'puter. But when I select the slide show, and I click the box to Play Sound - nothing happens. I thought I had loaded it properly within the Legacy process; I've done a check and repair, shut downs, more file maintenance - but no sound. I'm not doing something correctly. Hey, Geoff R- you seeing this? How about a webinar on all the ways of using the Media Gallery and then also utilizing Picture Center to the max --with lots of examples of how-to.
