Some copy and demo changes are coming soon!
Depends on: 615236
Attached file Video Script (obsolete) —
Pascal--for you.  Flight of the Navigator video script for l10n.
The video for the top of the page has been uploaded to: https://videos.mozilla.org/serv/firefox4beta/ants/

There will be a second video that I will have uploaded for another video player that will go in the second blurb position.

Here's the copy for the page:

Expanded WebGL Support
Firefox now supports WebGL for a larger number of built-in graphics cards, allowing more people to experience vivid games and new 3D graphic visualizations on the Web.  Watch the video to see it in action, or try it for yourself (works with most modern hardware). 

("Try it for yourself" should be linked to: http://videos.mozilla.org/serv/mozhacks/flight-of-the-navigator/)

I added the video information earlier in the bug.

A Sleeker Sync Set-Up Interface 
The new Sync interface makes it easier than ever to bring Firefox with you anywhere you go, whether you're on your desktop, laptop or your mobile phone.  Sync gives you secure and seamless access to your Firefox data - including history, bookmarks, passwords and open tabs - across all your devices. Watch the video to learn more.

(Will be a second video, about sync. Should be attached to the blurb). 


A Smarter, Polished Add-on Manager
The Firefox Add-ons Manager now looks and feels more polished compared to the first beta release, with automatic add-on updates and a smarter interface that makes it even easier to manage your add-ons and discover awesome new options for personalizing the way you browse.
Severity: normal → major
We'll need screenshots for the videos. The format is a 168x107px PNG.

I could extract one but maybe you have a favorite frame.

Clicking on the top video, I see a second video player displayed in the top left corner of the video player
the video alongside the sync paragraph is not about sync but about hardware acceleration
(In reply to comment #11)
> the video alongside the sync paragraph is not about sync but about hardware
> acceleration

Caitlin is fixing that today.
"A Smarter, Polished Add-on Manager
The Firefox Add-ons Manager"

Add-on is once in singular and once in plural in the same paragraph

This is not another video player but part of the video. It is the audio player that controls the demo.

Ah, Anthony--please change to:

A Smarter, Polished Add-ons Manager" for the title.
Here's the latest video script. Apologies for missing the last two speaking segments.

Attached file Sync Script
Script for Sync video.
The Sync video's link and tracking path still point fx4beta5.webm.
(So the wrong video will be shown when JavaScript is disabled)

<a href="http://videos-cdn.mozilla.net/serv/mozhacks/fx4beta5.webm" 
id="video-syncsetup" onclick="dcsMultiTrack('DCS.dcsuri',
'/serv/mozhacks/fx4beta5.webm','WT.ti',
'Firefox 4 Beta 5 Hardware Accelleration video');">
Committed r79652 to fix the links.
Depends on: 620388
When javascript is disabled , nothing happens when the video links are clicked.

I am redirected to the video but the video controls don't appear in Firefox (bug 449358). And while it is downloading, nothing seems to move but it is working. Nothing better we can do here.
