 * Ive installed the plug in: Video Gallery – YouTube. The problem is getting started!
   I select New Gallery Video and a new window appears and thats where my problems
   start. Where do I go from here? ADD video then ADD Video into post but I don’t
   know where this goes – nothing happens. I guess I must be doing something wrong
   but Im getting a little frustrated! I would like to send screen shots of the 
   process Im going through but there does not seem to be this facility.

 * Click create new gallery and a pop-up box opens. You have to name the gallery,
   and you also pick which type of gallery (lightbox, space gallery, etc) that you
   want to use to display your videos. Click add video, and it will open another
   pop-up box. You have to give your video a title and either upload your video 
   file, or past in the URL of the video. Then you click save video. You do the 
   same thing for each video you want to add into the gallery. When you have your
   videos added, you just click save at the top of the gallery box and it saves 
   your gallery. Inside your gallery, you will see a short code like
    total_soft_gallery_video_id
   =”1″ You just copy that code and paste it into whatever page you are wanting 
   the gallery on
 * Hope that helps

 * When the pop up box opens:
    when I try to add the video from a file, this is 
   the message: You must upload video or image for saving the content. Yet I have
   selected the file
 * Just wish I could add a screen shot to show the issues

 * What type of file are you trying to load? The easiest way is to past a youtube
   URL.

 * Dear bazzzz.
 * If you want to add a video from YouTube or Vimeo. You must do so.
 * 1. Click on “Add Video”.
    2. A window will open. There is also “Add Video”. Click.
   3. After that you will see “Insert from URL”. Copy the video link and put it 
   in this field.
 * Thank You.
