Create a video overlay on an flv

Hi
I'm new to FMS and have a question
I know it's possible to capture a webcam and save it down to
file
But is it possible to:
• Record a stream from a webcam
• Then superimpose a transparent flv over the top
• Then save this down as 1 flv on the server?
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers
Andy

Thanks for the response
Are you aware of any way this could be done?
I've looked into FFMpeg but I can only apply a transparent
image with this as if i overlay a video with ffmpeg the
transparency doesn't work by using libavfilter
Cheers

Create a video player for embedded FLV

So I want to embed a FLV in my flash so that I just have ONE SWF that contains everything.
I know if I say "load external video with playback component" I will end up with a swf, html and the flv- this is NOT what I want so please don't ask me why I'm not using this option.
"Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline" is EXACTLY what I want- the result is just a single SWF.
Here is the question: How do I get a video player if I embed a FLV in flash?
I know if I load the video external I will get some nice players - exactly what I want. How do I get a player if the video is embedded? Are there any coded player templates on the net? I couldn't find anything on google I could use but I've to admit I'm not too good at AS.
Thanks A LOT for your help

Not sure if this will work. Embed the FLV into a movie clip and in the expanded propertied check export for action script. Then you may be able to call the movie clip from the content path in the FLV video component.

Overlaying over video overlays, is it possible?

Hi,
I have created a video overlay, but cant seem to get the icon i would like in the bottom corner to stay on top. I tried turning the icon into an mso overlays, but still goes to the back of the video, when the video plays.
I have the same issue with a sequence overlay. I have produce a 360 spin, but would like to create an icon in the bottom corner, but as soon as you swipe to activate the sequence, the icon disappears. Again have tried turning the icon into a mso, but no luck so fare.
Any advices would be greatfully received.

One possibility is that your MSO isn't being converted to a slideshow overlay. When you create a two-state dummy MSO, select it and turn on an option such as Swipe in the Overlays panel. Otherwise, DPS just includes the current state of the MSO with the rest of the background image and doesn't make it a slideshow overlay.
There are several masking examples with instructions in the Advanced Overlays issue of DPS Tips.

How to create alpha videos now FLV / F4V support dropped from Media encoder

Now that Media encoder has dropped support for FLV / F4V has anyone got any ideas how you would create a video with an alpha channel for use in flash professional. With flash professional only really supporting the H.264 CODEC, I can't see any way possible to use transparent videos now. I'm currently having to resort to installing an old version of media encoder to get back access to FLV. Does anyone have any other thoughts on how I could achieve this using the latest software.

Hi Preran,
Can you clarify why the Alpha channel video option has been removed?
There's all sorts of reasons why people still need FLV, in our case its the video format we use with Aurasma to be able to have animated text on a transparent background in an AR environment....
Why oh why would you just remove the option when h264 clearly doesn't replace all of FLVs features?

Create a video (flv) portfolio

I'm trying to create a video portfolio on my website and
video demo CD. All of my Flash menus, pages, etc are complete. I'm
using Flash 8 and have already edited and compressed all of my
video samples into swf linked flv files. (Please excuse any
terminology confusion, I typically work in Director.)
In Flash, I'd like to know the script or behavior to use that
will enable the user to click on a still image (button) or text in
my portfolio which will then launch the associated video clip (flv
or swf) to play. And also to close it afterwards. It seems like
there should be an easy script or behavior for this, and there may
be, but all that Actionscript stuff makes it seem more complicated.
I've also heard something about "classes" and that they are more
like behaviors in Director than Flash behaviors. Perhaps there is
one already packaged I can use.
Any help is much appreciated.

Easy? Only if you've done it multiple times. Here is what you
can do (one of many methods). Drag the FLVcomponent to the stage,
give it an instance name of vid.
Button Script (change path for each button):
on(release){
vid.ContentPath = "flv-file-name.flv" //the video you want to
play
Script for frame with FLV component to find when movie ends:
var vidList : Object = new Object();
vidList.complete = function() {
gotoAndStop("frame name"); //your desired action
vid.addEventListener ("complete",vidList);
stop();
That code will listen for the movie to end then do whatever
you put into the function. I commented the function so you can see
what to change.

New to iMovie, create live video and audio?

Hello, I am trying to create a video of a live musical performance to post on youtube and have figured out how to use the isight to get a video but can I use the biult in mics to record live audio with the video?

Hello, Nateomite
As Karsten says, you will certainly get better results and much more convenience with a camcorder.
However, if you decide to use your MacBook, the built-in mic can record audio with your video:
in iChat: iChat > Video > Record Chat records both video and audio.
in iMovie: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/7.0/en/10172.html
tells you how to record using your MacBook's built-in iSight (and mic.)
Other movie/video recording apps may work differently, but most allow sound with video.

Is there a way to create a custom overlay within FCP?

Simple question...
Can u create a simple overlay (such as a square box) within FCP and have it work as an overlay, with alpha channel. Can't seem to figure it out.
I've done it by making the object and then keying out the black, but is there a way to just make it and have it work right off the bat?
Thanks!
mm

Interesting question. I had to go try it and, you're right, the shapes come in on an opaque field and I have always assumed they were on transparent. Seems they were in earlier versions, can't remember. I do most of that kind of work in Motion.
You can use the luma keyer or you can shift one or more of the color channels to the alpha.
You can use the Screen composite mode which makes black transparent but there are issues with modes if you start stacking layers.

How can I create a video with effects using my ipad?

How can I create a video with effects (sepia, B&W, Negative, oval or any other shape borders) using my ipad? I would Like to keep a higher res and also be able to shrink it down to email or send in a MMS. Or should I just upload it to my PC and mess with it there? Some of the apps I have are very easy to use compared to the learning curve needed for video editing software.
Thanks

Thats the Problem . . . how many apps do I have to try until I find the one I want? I noticed a few will render the video thus losing its original size. When I went to edit it more in iMovie the video was smaller--not good. And what software do you suggest, Templeton, for the PC? I love the apps because they are easy. I dont have hours to mess around on a software to figure out if its something I want. Im looking for simplicity. Maybe Ill get more into it later. I just want to record simple video of my playing the guitar for self analysis and create a short video for family and friends.
Apps:
iMovie
CinemaFXV
VideoFix
Cartoonatic
Video illusion
VidEditor
Software:
Windows Movie maker (wont accept .mov files)
After Effects (Too little time, so much to learn)
Wondershare (Very easy but little choices)
VideoPad (Again. Few choices)

Using Adobe Premier Elements to create a video using the photos and it is make the photos blurry. Is there a setting to correct this?

as the subject states, i am suing Premier Elements pro to create a video using photos. The photos are clear then when you play the video they become blurry. I would guess there would be a way to correct this but not having much success. any helps would be great.

Iltowman
Thanks for the follow up. Right now I see details that do need addressing. For one, you are importing 3:2 photos into a project set for 16:9.
You still have not told us what version of Premiere Elements that you are using and on what computer operating system it is running. For now I will assume, Premiere Elements 13/13.1 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit. NTSC setup.
Please try the following as a mini test run (just a few of your photos) to determine if the Timeline photos present better in the Edit area and in an export.
1. Open Premiere Elements 13/13.1 to the Expert workspace and go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
2. In Change Settings, change the settings to
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR [email protected]
OK out of there.
3. In the New Project Dialog that now opens, rename the project and make sure that you have a check mark next to Force Selected Project Setting on This Project. OK out of there.
4. Back in the Export workspace, import your photos using Premiere Elements' Add Media/Files and Folders/Projects Assets from where you drag the photos to the Timeline. There will be an orange line over the Timeline content. Press the Enter key of the computer main keyboard. or the Render button above the Timeline to do Timeline rendering which will result in the best possible preview in the Edit area monitor.
Also, right click the Edit area monitor, select Playback Quality, and then determine if the "Highest" gives better results than "Automatic".
If all looks good, then let us look at the quality of a AVCHD.mp4 export of that Timeline....
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30.
Is the quality of the photos in this mini test run better, the same, or worse?
About your photos (3872 x 2592 3:2)...video is 4:3 or 16:9. So to avoid black borders, you could consider
a. cropping the originals from 3:2 to 16:9 before import
or
b. importing them as is and doing any needed scaling in the Edit area monitor
But, right now the focus is on image clarity rather than black borders.
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

I am creating a video using the green screen option- I imported a picture for the background of the project and videotaped someone using a green screen. Is it possible to move the video of the person around so it is not blocking the picture behind it?

I am creating a video using the green screen option in iMovie. I imported a picture for the background of the project and videotaped someone using a green screen. Is it possible to move the video of the person around so it is not blocking the picture behind it?

To enable this right you need Acrobat, not the free Reader.
However, starting from Reader X it is possible to add simple markups to any file, unless it has been specifically disallowed by the creator of the file.

Hello. I have an iPad2, and iMovie software. My main problem, for the moment, is the length of the videos: I can´t create a video with more than 56 seconds. When I try, the app shuts off... Can anyone help me?

Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.
iPhones are not user servicable and Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. I'd be surprised if you were actually able to back it up at this point. It sounds like it's completely borked.

Creating a Video Gallery

I am creating a video gallery for a website. I am quite new
to Flash 8 and I am wondering whether it is possible to do the
following:
The file will contain a video player at the top that will
play all the video clips. Underneath will be a library that will
start off as four thumbnails and their will be an 'Expand All'
button. Once clicked, the gallery will expand in flash to show
however many thumbnails that are needed, and once you click on the
thumbnails the video will load up in the above player.
I have created the library so that it expands and collapses,
but I am struggling (have no idea) on how to make the thumbnails
link to play the corresponding videos at the top!
Is it possible?

Thanks for the advice, I must have done something wrong
though as it has not worked.
In my SWF, I have imported the videos separately using the
wizard. I have named one of the videos with the instance name vid
and then added the code you have listed. When I preview the file,
the top video plays, but when I click on the thumbnails they do not
do anything.
Have I done something wrong?

How to create a Video Podcast?

Hi,
I have a question about how to create a Video Podcast.
What I like to do is record what I can see ON my screen. And I don't want to use a Video Cam to make Videos of it.
If anyone knows how to to that or if there is an application I could use it would be great.
What I am looking for more or less is an App like Audio HiJack Pro - well more like a Video HiJack Pro. The question is not about how to do the encoding once I have the Video.
Any ideas? Any would be great. Just tell me how its done and what I need to buy.
Thanks a lot

I've made some video podcasts of tutorials of iMovie for my work, and you can see them here: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=74837876
The video gets jerky when capturing the video within iMovie, but it may be because I only have 512 MB of RAM. But for just capturing stuff like opening folders and what not, it will do the trick.
