Preloaders for my video clips in Dreamweaver

I’ve been trying to get a Preloader to work with my
video clips playing in Dreamweaver. I have many short video clips
on my site, from 1 to 3 Megs starting up as their download is
completed. I’d like to have a pre-loader give my viewers a
heads-up that video is coming, but I haven’t been able to
make it happen yet. I've been through the tutorials and getting
closer.
In Scene 1 (titled: loader) I’m using a simple
"LOADING..." animation I made.
In Scene 2 (titled: main) I have the video clip, sized to fit
the table in Dreamweaver with a URL linking to the full video on
the web.
Here’s the code that I’m using and the error
message:
Whatever assistance you can offer will be greatly
appreciated, thank you for looking it over.

The problem seems to be solved and the scene method is
working well! I put about 14 clips with pre-loaders attached up on
my site within Dreamweaver. Sometimes the clips are loading fast
and I don’t need to have each clip display a pre-loader.
I’m still working out the details on another preloading
file that has a row of pictures attached which is requiring more
coding - I’m trying to figure this out now.
I want to thank two mentors who have helped me reach this
level so far: Craig at LearnFlash.com & Dzedward, Senior Member
at Adobes forums.
Thank you again very much!!
Here’s the coding I was instructed to use:
stop();
myInterval = setInterval(preload,100);
function preload() {
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() >= _root.getBytesTotal()) {
gotoAndStop("main", 1);
clearInterval(myInterval);
Sincerely,

  • How do I display the complete time sequence for a video clip in iMovie?

    How do I display the time complete time sequence for a video clip in iMovie?
    I'm trying to create a movie for someone where they provided me the video clips and what time sequences they want extracted.  For example:  Video footage from time 5m22s to 9m:18s and 11m17s to 15m31s from the imported video clip.  I know you can select video but I cannot figure out how to select from those requested time markers.
    Any help would be apreciated.

    Open the file using QuickTime Player and then open the Movie Inspector window.

  • Playhead info for imported video clips is static/constant in iMovie 9 as I scroll over the clips. Is it possible to make it display correct info?

    HI, I have been importing videos clips from a SD card to iMovie 09. These clips are analyzed for animal behavior and the timing information for a specific event is critical for proper analyses. Most of the times, the imported clips display correct timing information for a given frame as I scroll over the clips. However, sometimes, some clips show a static or constant timestamp for all the frames in a clip and the timing information doesn't change in the playhead as I scroll over different frames.
    For such clips, I was wondering if it's possible to display correct timing information for the frames, and how? Since I only need frame timing info relative to the starting point, I am open to a solution that involves readjusting starting timestamp.
    Thank you so much for your time and help.

    Several ways to do this.
    I would scrub to the in point of the audio you want to change, then drag all the way back to the beginning of the clip. Then EDIT/SPLIT CLIP or right-click/Split Clip. Then go to the out point of the audio clip and drag to the right to the end of the clip. Then Edit/Split Clip. The clip in the middle should have your 25 minutes of audio.
    Another way: Use Comment Markers
    See this Tutorial from Ken Stone.

    If neither of those work for you, tell me more about what you are trying to do.

  • How to add a rectangle color frame for the video clips ?

    Hi there,
    I have shrink the 3 video clips small enough to fit all 3 of them into 1 screen.
    And now I want tomake a border rectangle color frame for these 3 video clips.
    Any tips on how I shall start ?
    Thanks & regards
    Cheers

    Ian R. Brown wrote:
    I have a feeling it can't be done because the border will probably go round the original full size video.
    A workaround would be to use the Custom generator to make a rectangle which you resize and put above the background.
    Then put your video you want framed on top of the lot and resize it so that a bit of the coloured Custom generator is showing all the way round.
    It's gonna be fiddly but simple enough in theory!
    Thanks Ian, that was a good idea.
    But my cropped video clip is a video clip being color-keyed (ie my video clip has alpha channel & the background is transparent). So putting a colour image behind the clip does not work because it will be seen through the alpha channel.
    Any tips ?
    Thanks

  • How can I make the wireframe identical for various video clips?

    Hello,
    For the end credits on a small movie, I would like the video clips to be much smaller, and the background to be black. I know how to make the clips smaller on the screen, and this is done by adjusting the wireframe.
    I am trying to have the wireframe remain in its identical size and location across various clips but cannot figure how to do this other than change the wireframe independently for each single video clip, making it an approximate job.
    Is there a way to ensure that the properties of the wireframe (size, position) remain constant for a series of clips? I have tried to find some properties settings for the wireframe which I could replicate for all clips but this search has proved unsuccessful.
    Many thanks in advance for any help.

    Use the Paste Attributes command as detailed in this link:

  • Need to recreate artwork for imported video clips

    Anyone know how to make iTunes regenerate artwork for video clips it has imported?
    About three weeks ago I upgraded from 7.1.something to 7.3.2. Huge mistake. Huge. I have about about 5,000 video clips in iTunes and when the update had finished the artwork for about 98% of them was gone and the remaining ones were "misplaced," i.e., the artwork has nothing to do with the clip it's attached to. For every one of these clips the artwork had been generated when the clip was imported, now there's no artwork or the artwork is wrong and iTunes won't let me do the "set artwork to poster frame" routine - as if I would consider doing that for 5,000 clips. It's almost as if iTunes considers the new, "blank artwork" to be real, unmodifiable artwork except that it doesn't take up space in Cover Flow.
    Not only that but the images displayed in Cover Flow are tiny - one-third the size of audio album cover art - and there doesn't seem to be any way to enlarge them.
    What a mess. And only in video - no related problem in the music section.

    I'd recommend you grab After Effects for your special effects and if you have a lot of editing, also Premiere. Although you can do it all in After Effects, Premiere is a lot easier to edit with. The combination is used very frequently. All your assets from your other applications are usable to various extents in both of these applications.

  • Batch processing audio for separate video clips?

    Hi there, new to the forums. I have roughly 100 separate video clips that either I have edited and exported out of PPro or collected from other outside sources. The video clips were recorded in a wide range of environments, producing widely varied audio levels and sound quality. The videos are for a blog.
    I am hoping to create a batch process preset in Premiere Pro or Audition to normalize the audio in all of the video clips. My goal is to have the audio play back at the same volume level in all of them without having to edit the audio individually in each clip. I have been searching the forums for a while for help with a batch process solution like this. Running CS6 so have full access to all Adobe apps.
    I have played around with running the clip audio through batch processing in Adobe Audition CS6. Haven't had any success thus far -- the audio doesn't save within the same video file it was pulled into Audition from. I really would like to normalize the audio without having to re-import/-re-export each separate video.
    PPro group might be the wrong place to start, but figured I would start here. Is there a missing manual out there for doing something that seems relatively simple?

    Premiere Pro can't do this.  If Audition can't either, then you're probably stuck doing it manually.  Or at least, using non-Adobe software.  Possibly VirtualDub, depending on your source media.

  • Help with script to update shotDate for a video clip

    As hard as it is for me to believe, Adobe Premiere Pro doesn't take the date code when capturing video clips from a DV camera and put it into the "shotDate" video metadata field. Instead, it (stupidly in my view) sets the shotDate to the date when the video clip is being captured, not when it was shot. I want to write a script to correct this.
    So far I've been able to get access to the existing, bad shotDate property, but I can't seem to set it successfully. The relevant portion of my code is as follows. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to why my setting the property isn't working? Thanks in advance!
    var md = thumb.synchronousMetadata;
    md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/xmp/1.0/DynamicMedia/";
    var BadShotDate = md.shotDate;
    $.writeln("Bad Shot Date: ", BadShotDate);
    // Get the XMP packet as a string and create the XMPMeta object
    var xmp = new XMPMeta(md.serialize());
    var d = new XMPDateTime(new Date()); // Dummy value for testing
    xmp.setProperty(XMPConst.NS_XMP, "shotDate", d, XMPConst.XMPDATE);
    var updatedPacket = xmp.serialize(XMPConst.SERIALIZE_OMIT_PACKET_WRAPPER | XMPConst.SERIALIZE_USE_COMPACT_FORMAT);
    thumb.metadata = new Metadata(updatedPacket);

    I figured it out, so I thought I would post a follow-up for anybody else running into the same issue. The following function will set the shot date metadata to whatever string is supplied for the given thumbnail:
    function SetShotDate(thumb, newshotdate)
    if(thumb.hasMetadata)
    // Get the metadata object - wait for valid values
    var md = thumb.synchronousMetadata;
    md.namespace = XMPConst.NS_DM;
    var xmp = new XMPMeta(md.serialize());
    xmp.setProperty(XMPConst.NS_DM, "shotDate", newshotdate);
    var updatedPacket = xmp.serialize(XMPConst.SERIALIZE_OMIT_PACKET_WRAPPER | XMPConst.SERIALIZE_USE_COMPACT_FORMAT);
    thumb.metadata = new Metadata(updatedPacket);

  • Lens-blur / Tilt-shift blur grayed out for a video clip as Smart Object

    So instead of using Actions and apply the said effects to hundreds, even thousands of still frames, I was aware you can apply filters directly onto a rendered video clip in Photoshop.
    I followed the instructions by opening the video which I created with "Open Image Sequence" in QuickTime, converted it into a Smart Object. But when I try to apply the said blur effects, they are all grayed out.
    What am I doing wrong? Is this something CS6 can't do but CC can?
    Please advise, thank you!

    I'm kind of restricted as to the height and position on the indoors shots. I have my eye on positions but it means climbing up on things and getting into corners but, if needs must.
    I was using alpha channels as the angles I've used so far don't lend themselves to making a straight mask. I'll stick with it though, it might look better on just the automated machine with no people.
    Maybe being forced into working with odd angles and positions might give the video something unique over the rest, probably not though. I guess there's only one way to find out.

  • Why do I get a .jpeg file for every video clip in my library?

    When I import video clips from my camera I get two files with the same name but different extension. One is the actual video clip and the other a .jpeg file. Beofre updating to iPhoto 11 I did not get this issue. Are both files really necessary?

    Curious.
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Multiple Preloaders for Multiple Movie Clips

    Designed in Flash 8, the site's timeline is all in Scene 1
    and is comprised of an introduction, which contains a short video,
    and 6 movie clip categories that the user selects to view. Since I
    want the intro to play as soon as possible, I'd like to limit the
    first preloader to just the video in the intro and not
    _root.getBytesTotal. Then, as the viewer watches this short video,
    the rest of Scene 1 movie clips will keep on loading. After the
    intro, the viewer will choose which of the 6 categories to view.
    These categories are identified with buttons which play the
    particular movie clip. Since I don't know the order of the
    categories they will select, I thought there should be a separate
    preloader for each category. Hopefully, after they view a category,
    the rest of the categories will have loaded and the loading time
    will be nil. The design for the preloader is comprised of a status
    bar and a percent loaded. Is there a way to limit the
    _root.GetBytesTotal to specific frames? I know I could break these
    categories up into separate SWF files but then I loose the
    advantage of one loading while another is being viewed.

    MovieClipLoader is a built in class of functions that will
    allows you to easily load Media (swfs/jpgs) from external sources.
    This will create a MCL object
    var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader
    We want the MCL object to receive events for any movie that
    is loaded into the main timeline
    mcl.addListener(this);
    Ok. now we have a movie clip loader that is able to recieve
    events. Since we want to show the progressive download and want to
    do something with that content after it loads, we need to declare
    two event handlers onLoadProgress and onLoadInit. onLoadProgress is
    pretty straight forward. onLoadInit executes it's action as soon
    all of the AS on frame 1 of its time has finished loading. In this
    case, we want two different things to happen. 1st, load the first
    clip and show it.... 2nd, load all remaining clips into the buffer.
    But first, lets declare those next...
    function onLoadProgress( target:MovieClip,
    bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):Void {
    // standard preloader code goes here
    function onLoadInit( target:MovieClip ):Void {
    // display the clip - this will be as easy as just calling
    our loadClip function for the mcl...more on that in a minute
    // If you want something special to happen, i.e. movie fades
    in or a mask is applied to it, you'd do that here.
    Now all we need to do is call the loadClip member function
    for the MovieClipLoader. Just replace the two parameters with the
    location of the swf and then the name of the instance you want it
    to load into
    mcl.loadClip( "myswf.swf", targetMovieClip );
    The other movie clips are now a breeze as well. For each
    button, just add an on(release) or onRelease = function (depending
    on your situation) to just call that mcl.loadClip() line from up
    above. Just change the movie you want loaded.
    Let me know if you need more help...

  • Acceptible output format for intermediate Video clip?

    I have a 24minute project that I created in CS5. It's 1280x720 and 30936 frames.  The intent is to use it as source video in Premerie Pro where I'll be adding music and some minor titles.  The piece will need to be burned to DVD (sadly) and projected in a auditorium. So with all that, I'm wondering what the most efficient means for rendering the comp would be? I like to create in HD when possible as you never know how something might be used down the road.
    I started exporting the comp as an .avi. I was 1% into the render and already the file was a massive 7GB. So I stopped as there's no way I can manage files that large.
    Currently, I'm rendering out in H.264 and at 50% in size (720). But at the 6% mark, the m4v file is only 5MB, and the aac file is1MB.
    Since either method is telling me that the render is going to take 16hrs, I can't afford to have to do it again - just spot fixes as needed.  Will the H.264 method get me what I need? Is there a more preferred way to make a source comp for PremierePro?
    My machine is running Windows7 64-bit and has a 6-core 1090T chip and 8GB of ram. I'm using NucleoPro3 for the render. Still though, 16 hours?
    Thanks.

    So let me ask: with 15hrs remaining, would I be better off ending it now and do as you suggest with the smaller comp and full field render?
    I'd say definitely.
    I'm working with a comp from RevoStock that's pretty intensive.
    What version of AE are you using? 8 GB of RAM probably isn't enough to use multiple cores efficiently. You may want to skip Nucleo here.
    I'm using a frame rate of 24 for the project.
    Make sure that you conform to whichever standard you'll end up with. PAL is 25 fps, and NTSC is 29.97. DVD players can handle 23.98 (I'm pretty sure) and instigate pulldown, but make sure you author it accordingly.
    Also, since you'll be projecting, you could render progressive (not interlaced) and save some time.
    Also, you mention the word "export" instead of "render". You are using the render queue, right?

  • HT5958 Audio prevents relinking to original media -- can I manually change the number of audio channels for a video clip?

    I recently updated to Final Cut X 10.1. I had a project for which I was heavily editing the audio, so I was using the "detach audio" feature and in some cases deleting the audio track. Now, when I try to go into the timeline and relink the movie files (which weren't linked automatically after update), the original media won't relink because "the original file didn't have audio, but the new file does."
    Is there anyway to edit the misreferenced file so it beleives it has an audio track?
    Thank you for any and all suggestions. I really don't want to start this edit over from scratch.
    Ben

    Thanks for the responses, guys. I guess I wasn't really all that clear. Something to do with FCP 6 and the Kona III card is telling FCP to set up each project with 16 channels of audio - and ONLY 16 channels of audio. Anywhere that there is a drop-down or check box, the drop-down or check box is either grayed out or only provides choices centered around 16 channels of audio. So, for example, let's say I go to the "Capture Presets" tab under "Audio/Video Settings" and click on "Edit" to modify the current preset. Under "QuickTime Audio Settings," I select "AJA Kona" as my device. Then, under the "Format" drop-down, I have four possible audio formats to choose from - ALL of them showing 16 channels (e.g. - "48.000 khz 24-bit 16-channel"). Nowhere is there an option of selecting, say "48.000 khz 24-bit 2-channel." Everything under every tab specifies 16-channel. So, as a result, I can't tell it to disable the fourteen tracks that I'll NEVER use. I even tried starting with the "Generic" settings tab, used to create your own presets, and even that would ONLY allow me 16-channels - and I couldn't over-ride it!
    So far, the only way I've found to work around this is to manually go in and turn off the little green nodes indicating which audio track(s) you don't want to capture. The problem is, every time I have to do this, I'm manually turning of FOURTEEN audio channels.
    Hope this helps clarify...
