 * Hello! I’m trying to build a simple portfolio and am wondering why my media files
   aren’t pointing to the external links I defined in the backend (backend screenshot:

 * Porfolio URL: [http://www.annevonpetersdorff.com/videoproduction/](http://www.annevonpetersdorff.com/videoproduction/).
 * Is that function PRO?
 * Thanks

 * Hello,
 * The url you’ve mentioned in your screenshot wasn’t designed to point on media,
   but it’s an external url of your project. When user click on the link button 
   within the popup, hi/she will be redirected to that url. You can setup a direct
   linking without popups, but this available in Pro versions. Also, we noticed 
   you want to show video within the popup. The plugin doesn’t support inline videos
   at this moment. This feature will be supported in upcoming updates too. But as
   we’ve mentioned, with the Pro version you can configure direct linking to any
   url (e.g. Youtube, Vimeo …). So, if user click on the project, that specific 
   page will be loaded containing your video.
 * If you have more questions, please feel free on contacting us.
 * Thanks,

 * Hello! Thanks for the answer.
    I understand media isn’t supported but those are
   only screenshots of videos. The external links point to youtube or vimeo. It 
   is totally fine having the popup linking to the external website but that isn’t
   working. Check it out here: [http://www.annevonpetersdorff.com/videoproduction/](http://www.annevonpetersdorff.com/videoproduction/)
   Any idea why?
 * Thanks!
    Nico
