I do not believe this is the correct video for this post. It is suppose to be about placing pictures etc. in Illustrator. This video is repeated in your next post.

Hi Julie, I double checked the video and it IS the correct video. I go over how to place and crop photos and then an overview of the links window. Maybe there was some weird technical glitch and the video didn't view properly. Not sure but thanks for letting me know!

Hi,
the video doesn't play - we just get an ad for insurance.
bit annoying.
