Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language
Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) is like a conductor who tells everyone how to work together to create a beautiful performance. But the performers in this case are different types of media (like videos, photos, sounds) on your computer or phone instead of musicians. SMIL is a coding language that helps organize all these different media types and make sure they all work together at the right time.
Imagine you're watching a video and there's a part where music starts to play at the same time. This feels natural because the sound and video are synchronized. Without SMIL, it would be hard to make sure they start playing together, but with SMIL, you can tell the computer to play the video first and then the music. You can also specify how long each media should play, when to pause, and when to start again.
SMIL is like a very precise traffic controller that helps organize all the traffic on the road so that no cars crash and everyone can get to their destination safely. In the same way, SMIL helps make sure all the different types of media on your computer or phone work together smoothly and don't create a mess.
