API key furnished to you from the dotstudioPRO dashboard, as well as to be able to manage your videos, playlists,
paywalls, advertising and other features.
= Are there any other plugins I need to run dotstudioPRO for Wordpress? =
You will need to install the "Featured Video Plus" Wordpress plugin by Alexander Höreth. This plugin allows you to
insert your videos from the dotstudioPRO into specific pages.
= What is the FancyLoad iFrame Loader? =
The FancyLoad iFrame loader is a feature that allows a type of lazyload and prerendering display on your videos. This feature
may not be desirable all the time, and can be enabled and disable globally or disabled for specific videos.
= How do I turn off FancyLoad for individual video entries? =
When inserting the video IFRAME code, simply put **class="nofancyframe"** into the iframe code and that particular video will not
display in a FancyFrame display.
= How do I create a video carousel rail? =

2. Select the Carousel Shortcode Generator from the tab at the top
3. Create the shortcode for your category or channel rail by completing the form provided.

6. PASTE the shortcode into any page, post or directly into the some other HTML page you want to display
= Is there a limit to how many carousel rails can I have in a page? ==
Technically, no, but as with anything that has alot of images, the more you put on, the longer your page load.
= What is the best way to customize the video channel and category pages? =
Customization without modifying the original plugin can be achieved by copying the template files from the plugin folder
to your active theme folder. This can be done by going to the dotstudioPRO Options and clicking the "COPY" button towards
the bottom of the Plugin Configuration tab. Once you have copied these files into your active theme folder this way, you
can manipulate the styles and layouts any way you wish. The files that are copied over are:
1. ds-all-categories.tpl.php
2. ds-home.tpl.php
3. ds-single-category.tpl.php
4. ds-single-channel-w-sidebar.tpl.php
5. ds-single-channel.tpl.php
6. video-channel.customization.css
= Where do I create video channels and categories? =
Video channels and categories are created through the dotstudioPRO dashboard. Whenever you change any of your videos,
channels or categories, you'll need to update the data on your website. To re-sync and rebuild the categories and channels
on your site after you have modified them through the dashboard, click the "RE-SYNC" button in the dotstudioPRO Plugin
Configuration area.
