A live performance movie is a good way to showcase your talents. Movies create a whole new set of problems and need to very short or of poor quality.
Its better to provide a short clip of your move and supply a good quality, full length version for download.
Slideshows can be made visually attractive and eye catching without taking a horrendous amount of time to load.
The example on this page is done in Keynote with a music track added, exported as QuickTime and loaded into an iFrame on the Web page using the code shown below copied into an HTML Snippet. The variables are shown in blue text.
This slideshow is not for the purpose of showcasing my talents!
The soundtrack was edited to fit the length of the slideshow using Audacity.

The “WIDTH” and “HEIGHT” are adjusted to the size of your movie. The URL is the path to your movie file on your server.
Autoplay, controller and loop can be “true” or “false” depending on how you want the movie to work on your site.
In my example movie I have selected autoplay with no control bar or loop.
