Using NetConnection for a video in subdirectory

The following code works if the FLV I'm trying to pull is in
the same directory as the SWF. How do I target an FLV in a
different folder?

Hi,
If you anticipate that the path to fla may be dynamic - you
perhaps should create a mechanism of manipulating this data outside
the flash and mechanism of interpreting this data inside the flash.
I suggest to keep references to all the assets in an xml file
where you (or your client) can store/change qualified paths.
Another solution would be to indicate flv's location in flash
variables (in the embed code) - so if they need to change the
location - they do it in HTML - not inside your player.
I prefer the first (XML) approach.
I would like to point out that because Flash is very limited
(for security reasons) in accessing external data one should be
very precise in telling player where and how to get the media and
delegate this to server side. Naturally, it brings up a content
management issue but if your client wants a reliable thing - he
should allocate resources for that.

Advice on used mbp for photo/ video tasks.

Good afternoon everyone. I'd just like to pick the brains of some of the experts here regarding purchasing a used mbp for photo/ video. for about $1300 (preferably less) which models would you look at? I'm open to 15 and 17 inch variants. The 13 is just too small. I've been trying to find a 15" with 2.4ghz and 16gb ram but they are very hard to come by in my price range. Is there going to be a huge difference in speed between a 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4 i7 quad core processor? I'm also aware that some models came with superior graphics cards although I can't remember exactly which ones.
one more question, regarding the high res matte screens, are these going to make my guis look weird? I actually had a 2014 13" mbp retina and was hugely disappointed in its performance and took it back. The retina display was not compatible with photoshop And made it look awful. This happened with some web pages as well. Is this going to happen with the high res screens available previous to the retina technology?
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.
One last thing. Am I better off waiting/ spending a few hundred more and looking at more recent units such as a 15" retina? I don't like that the ram can't be upgraded and that they can't be repaired by the user as easily but the lighter weight is certainly a nice feature.

I suppose what I'm asking is whether there are particular configurations that were better than others that I should look out for. you illustrated my point when you mentioned your friend's older but faster mbp. I believe sometimes there are configurations that seem to work better than others despite one being newer or having 'faster' or 'superior' hardware. I'm aware of the advantages of ssd's and had one in my last mbp along with maxed out ram.
Regarding the newer mbp 13 retina model my solution was to take it back. I simply was not happy paying more for a computer that was more expensive but didn't perform as well as my older model I had just sold. Also the size was not going to work.
Out of interest can anyone explain these anomolies in speed between newer and older models. Logic suggests that a newer model with faster processor and more ram should be faster but why is this not always the case?
Here's my predicament: 15" mpb with 2.4ghz i7 quad core and 16gb ram and ssd are running around $1400 used. This is more than I would expect to pay for a mid to late 2011 laptop but they seem to hold their value very well. There is a significant price jump between say a 2.2ghz model and a 2.4. Am I going to notice more performance on the 2.4 or is it not a big deal to save a few hundred bucks? Or do I just spend a few hundred more for a newer retina model? I just don't want to end up with a computer I cannot upgrade or work on myself and that is not a significant performance upgrade from my last model And doesn't even have a SuperDrive or additional HDD. I hope that makes sense.
So with all that said and considering that I use my laptop for photography and small amounts of video are there any particular models anyone would recommend Around the $1300 mark? Or other suggestions?

Which is the best MacBook for me to buy if I want to use it for digital video editing as well as Photoshop?

All the Apple MacBooks have been upgraded. I am looking for either a MacBook Pro or a MacBook that I can use to edit digital videos and do some Photoshop work. Which one would you advise me to go for? I am considering the 13”.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I recommend the 15-inch MacBook Pro if you can afford it. That's because Photoshop runs better on a dedicated graphic card, which only the 15-inch MacBook Pro includes, but it should run without any problem on a 13-inch MacBook Pro too

Looking for good book on using DSLR for shooting video

I recently purchased a new Canon t3i DSLR. I've been watching videos on YouTube and it seems like this camera is capable of taking great HD video. My test videos look nothing like these examples. I am looking for a good resource that will teach me what settings to use, especially manual settings for shooting videos. Of course it would be great to find something specific to my camera, but I'm sure that the techniques will apply to most DSLRs.
Thanks

Using SSD for FCP Video Editing on Macbook Pro

Hi,
I am looking to get a Macbook Pro 15" which i will be using for some video editing related work (definitely HD, might include some 3K footage at times). I was earlier considering getting a 512GB solid state drive for some fast performance, but I have been hearing that they are not great for video editing and that video editing will suck through the lifetime of the SSD, I could use some clarity or confirmation on the subject. Ideally, I would love to have a solid state drive in my laptop for just the overall performance boost and I love the idea of a less heating and power consuming drive, however I do know, that I will be doing video editing related work with large files frequently and would like my drive to last for at least 3 years. Should I expect that from a SSD?
Will it be wise to get a SSD in my case? I'll appreciate your suggestions. The more you can explain your reasoning, the better.

I also read somewhere that the old SSDs might have been a bit problematic but the new ones have 'load balancing' which makes sure you don't use the same bits of electronics all the time and spreads the memory around. Does this mean that video editing playback will be good? Or any improvements of SSD lifespan?

Using Quicktime for all Video Types

I'm trying to use Quicktime for some WMV files, and I downloaded the "flip4mac" program, but it still isn't working. I can open the video and play it on Quicktime, but I can't skip around or anything. Is there something else I need?

If you happen to own a copy of Microsoft Office it contains Windows Media Player for Mac. It is only selected when doing the custom installation. It does not install during the standard install. Even when you select it, you will have to run the installer to get it to run. Once it is set up it works fine.
I have also used Flip 4 Mac with no issues and recently started using VLC, which is also needed if you use Handbrake to rip DVD's.

Using FCP for live video feed

Hi,
I'm currently shooting with the new HVX200 Panasonic camera. We're using a small, 7" hand-held HD monitor to use for focus-pulling, but I'd like to be able to use a computer monitor or laptop for a live video feed. (director's monitor)
We've considered using the component-out to go into a Component-VGA adapter for a computer monitor, but I'm wondering if we can do a direct feed using FireWire into FCP or something.
Anyone have any experience doing a computer-monitor setup for use with these kinds of cameras?
Thanks for the help!

hey there RI,
if you've tried something similar on your iMac & had no problems it's reasonable to think/believe it will work on your MBP, w/ this caveat: the 400 & 800 ports are actually on the same buss, so the 800 port will handle it's data at the lower(400) rate if there is a device on each port. shouldn't affect any editing w/ the drive once the cam is removed from the MBP. it should the run @ the higher rate.
good luck.

How to use iSight for webstreaming video

hello, recently my wife and I purchased a dog(mini bulldog). she is obsessed with the dog. the dog stays home durring the day. she would like for me to place our laptop in the dog room to provide a live video feed. is there any possible way to do this?

"how do you set up the webpage?"
According to EvoCams website:
+"Built-in web server included+
+EvoCam also has a built-in web server, allowing you to connect directly to EvoCam using any Java-capable browser and view your webcam. The built-in server can be password protected, and you can customize the HTML to give your webcam a personalized look."+
"is there a free software that will do this? "
Since the wify is +"obsessed with the dog,"+ then she shouldn't mind paying $30.

Using 'setMediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction' for html5 video

Hello,
I am working on a site that will need to work specifically for the iPad. The client has provided me with several mp4 files which will act as short animations that should queue when the page is loaded. I have found some documenation on developer forums and other sites that mention the use of a UIWebView object to use iPad specific attributes like "setMediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction" and "setAllowsInlineMediaPlayBack". From what I have found I need to:
1. Create UIWebView Object
2. Attach Object to Window
3. Send a Request to Load Web Content
I found these directions but every example I have come across seems to be for an iPad application and this is just a site that will use the Safari browser. The markup is in html.
Does anyone have an example using these features on a web page so I can figure out how to implement the code I have found online?
Thanks!
Michael

UIWebView is for native iOS apps and has nothing to do with displaying video in HTML in a website.
Here's Apple official Safari Developer information on using video in websites for iOS devices:

Does Anyone Use Blender For 3D Video Titling? No It's Not A Food Processor!

. . . . . . . and if so, can they tell me how to make 3D titles that swivel and rotate etc. and can be put into FCP?
I downloaded Blender yesterday and after hours of struggling am completely bewildered!
I am even bewildered by the blender forums. I've posted 2 questions. One received a reply yesterday but I can no longer find it and the one I just posted has immediately disappeared into the ether!
Getting back to the app . . . . I can put titles in my choice of font on the Blender interface but I can't alter them from the default silver colour and I have no idea how to get them onto video. I don't know where I should be positioning them etc. and there is a whopping cube in the background.
It's like being able to start a car but then being incapable of driving it anywhere.
I am completely clueless . . . . and I suspect many others will also be clueless as to what I am rambling on about, but if there is anyone out there who does know what I mean, I would be very grateful for some guidance.
Incidentally, I have been told that everyone finds it impossible for 6 days, but after 7 days you suddenly become an expert. The trouble is that I won't last that long!

Thanks Kevin and Iain but I only want to dabble occasionally so there is no way I'm spending any more hard cash.
It was a demo of Kinemac that Videojam gave me a couple of days ago that kindled my interest, but when I saw the $299 price tag I started searching elsewhere.
This was my original 2 minute effort done using FCP's "Basic3D" filter which of course is not really 3D:-

This is Videojam's ten minute job done in Kinemac:-

Does anyone know if there is a way to connect the iPad 4 to a canopus box and use it for capturing video live?, Does anyone know if there is a way to connect the iPad 4 to a canopus box and use it for capturing video live?

I am the Video Coordinator at Samford University and have found the quality of video capture on the iPad 4 AMAZING, however I need to convert all my files through a canopus in order to Capture and Cut live like I do with a regular video camera. I can get the tripod and mount for the iPad, I was just wondering if anybody knows exactly how/if there is a way to connect to the canopus from an iPad.
Look forward to hearing what you guys and girls say.

I'm a bit vague about what it is you wish to accomplish. Are you trying to capture video through an external box? If so, that's not posssible with any of the Canopus boxes I'm familar with. In fact I don't know of any external video capture solution that works with an iPad, though I can't state definitively that none exist. I really don't think an iPad would be well suited for this even if it's possible. I'd strongly suggest you look into a MacBook Air or one of the current MacBook Pros. Those are far better suited for on-the-fly video capture and editing.
If that's not what you mean, please post back and explain further what it is you wish to accomplish.
Regards.

How to use itunes for making video with software Studio

How can I use my downloaded music files with my video making software?

Purchased music from the iTUnes store is in a "AAC protected" format. It can only be used in iTUnes. Any music you buy online these days will have some protection on it where you can only use it in there program.
The way around this is to burn the purchased songs to a CD in iTUnes. Then goto edit>preferences>advanced tab>Import sub tab and set your import settings to something like MP3.
Now put the burned CD back in the PC and "Re"import it into iTunes so its imported in a MP3 format so you can use it in any program. Before importing it tho you need to manually add the name of the song, artist album ect ect

I want to use VLC for default video playiong instead of Adobe Flash, please send instructions for wiondows 7 home professional.

I am tired of constantly being required to install a new update for Adobe Flash player which ALWAYS includes a marketing program embedded in the download, for Google Chrome, or McAfee or Malware or some other junk I do not want.
Instead I would like to migrate away from Adobe Flash and instead utilize VLC as my default media player, but when I go to my Control Panel set defaults VLC is not included. I have found "instructions" on line to add VLC to the Control Panel list, but you would HAVE to be a programming specialist to wade through the basic machine code and effectively achieve upload to the Control Panel Default Option list.
I figure I cannot be the only customer afflicted by this marketing ploy by Adobe Flash....over the last few months....and I prefer Firefox....so I figure you must have other customers writing to you. I simply want to dump Adobe Flash. If enough people dump them, then maybe they will abandon this marketing crap.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
