 | | This discussion of SMIL will be framed in terms of a simple example (all files can be accessed at www.psych.uiuc.edu/~kmiller/smil, along with production details and other tips) that shows what can be done with this language. |
 | | The body of the SMIL file again specifies the clips to be played and their starting and ending points, but now each video tag also includes a region directive that specifies where the clip should be played ("video_left", "video_center", and "video_right" respectively). |
 | | The second is a SMIL file that creates two regions, one for the video clip and the other for the RealText file created in the previous step, and specifies the parts of these two media sources that should be played back in synchrony. |
