Paul Wyatt shows you how to weave together multiple time-lapse video clips to create a stunning interactive interface.

Video and Flash were made for each other. With a little bit of coding know-how, it's possible to sequence a set of video clips to create a dramatic website interface that will impress peers and clients alike.

In this project we use four time-lapse videos - each triggering the next to play - to create a Flash website that works in a similar way to a DVD menu. We have a video opener movie with the obligatory 'skip' button, followed by a movie that loops until the user clicks a button. That causes another movie to play, activating an event at the end - in this case, a browser window is opened.
