Allow "Mute" for videos with sound

Is it possible to add an option to mute my video clips that have sound? I don't want readers to get in trouble if they are on a subway or on an airplane!

I don't think that's an option in the media widget, sorry. You could either:
(a) Create an HTML widget using the new HTML5 canvas tag (although not sure if iBooks Author accepts this as I haven't tried it yet). This way you could integrate a mute button.
(b) Just have the user mute the sound on their iPad - the easiest solution. Perhaps include a note next to each video clip that suggests users mute sound on their device if in a public place...

  • Importing video with sound to GarageBand 2.0 and iOS 7.0.4

    Importing video with sound to GarageBand 2.0 and iOS 7.0.4
    My daughter has an iPad 2 with GarageBand 2.0 and iOS 7.0.4.  She would like to import a video file which has a sound track on it to GarageBand for iPad so that she can add an additional sound track to it.  The video/audio file to be imported would be in AVI, MPEG2 or another iPad compatible format.  Is this possible? If so, how would the mechanics work?  Would you: (1) load the file into the Movies section of iTunes and import the file from the Movies section of iTunes; (2) save the file onto an SD card and import the video/audio file from the SD card by inserting the SD card into an "SD adaptor" on an "iPad Camera Connection Kit"; or (3) email the video file to yourself and upload it to GarageBand from email?

    This is part of a mobile training application and I allow the learner to record an audio response in addition to viewing the videos.  When they record a response, you can hear the playback so the device has its volume up and working when the app is running.  Since I posted this issue, I switched to .flv video and that plays ok.  It's apparently the .mp4 video that's a problem.  I'm encoding it with ffmpeg and suspect that it's something with the settings.   Do you have a recommendation for mp4 settings for OSMF?

  • Recording streaming videos with sound

    Can I use quicktime for recording streaming videos with sound? If not which Apple software can do it?
    Bye Christof

    You can use Quicktime to record streaming video +with it's audio+ by using a very simple trick. Using the same cable you connect your iPod/iPhone to your car's stereo system, connect your Mac's Audio OUT to its MIKE IN jack. I used FILE / OPEN URL to select the video stream source, then selected FILE / NEW SCREEN RECORDING. In the resulting 'Screen Recording' dialog box, I set the AUDIO slider all the way to the right, and under the arrow to the right, selected "Built-in Input Line In" for the microphone. I then used the appropriate controls to play the stream and record it. The resultant file was very acceptable. Good luck.

  • Capturing/recording/saving front camera as video (with sound)

    hi,
    would it be possible to record a video with sound (front camera) on mobile devices (ios and android)?
    i need to save the video on a webserver when it's finished recording.
    i don't want the user to leave the main app so it would be necessary to use a custom recording solution.
    anyone knows how to achieve this?
    cheers,

  • I have a macbook 13" late 2009 and would like to connect my TV to macbook to view video with sound. What cable do I need to mack work?

    I have a macbook 13" late 2009 operating system OS10.9.2.
    I would like to connect my macbook to my TV . I have connected a mini DVI / HDMI cable to my tv which works for the picture but have no sound.
    How do I get the sound to work?
    Thanks

    When you connect the MacBook using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo sound system if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI. But check your TV manual to see if it has audio plugs that work with one of the HDMI ports.
    If you have the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody or Late 2009 model 6,1 White Unibody with the Mini DisplayPort rather than the Mini-DVI there is an adapter that uses the Mini DisplayPort and a USB port to combine video and audio to HDMI. It's only 2 channel stereo not 5.1 Dolby Surround.

  • Will MPEG-2 convert a video with sound?

    I've converted my videos to MPEG-4 using Quicktime Pro, and they play fine but with no sound.
    Is this the application I need to convert them with sound?

    No. As Kay tried to explain, the MPEG2 component will simply allow you to extract the video data from a "muxed" stream of audio/video information. To extract and convert both audio and video data, use an MPEG based third party application like MPEG Streamclip (free). This application uses MPEG routines to decocde "muxed files (e.g., MPEG1, MPEG2, VOB, etc.) and then uses your QT Tools package to convert them to an iPod specific (or other QT compatible) format. (NOTE: Windows version of MPEG Streamclip does require the Apple MPEG2 component you asked about.)

  • Transition video with sound

    Is there a way to use sound with thansition video? I think that the answer is no when using the function transition video but is there another way? Of course, i can put my video transition with audio on a track, select that track as a target of a button and link the end of the video transition track to the correct clip track. But i have a lot of clips and i don't want to make a new video transition track for every clip. Is there another way? Maybe with scripts? I don't know **** about scripts!

    It all depends on what you want to do. One comment I would make is that (and this may be a personal preference) but transitions (especially the same ones) can get tiresome REALLY quickly. We all think we've come up with this fantastic or clever transition and by the time the viewer has seen it three times in a row they can get mightily bored...
    Personally I only use transitions sparingly (if at all - I actually think they are a waste of time and space and are often only there to show just how clever the DVD author is - of course yours may serve a specific purpose...). If used sparingly then you don't really need to use scripting...
    I'm sure I could sit down and work out the scripts for you but wheres the fun in that!!! But seriously I'm sure other folks around here will jump in with scripts (or even tutorials) to get you on your way. Unfortunately I am in the midst of several projects...
    Good luck

  • A Plea for Help with Sound Issues

    After hooking up my new Mackbook Pro with an external HDMI display I have lost audio on most audio enabled applications including iTunes, Real Player, VLC. QuickTime still has audio as well as the Finder and sound effects. My audio preferences are set up as I had them. Audio out on the affected apps is muted whether audio out is internal speakers, headphones, or usb out. BTW mute is not on. I have checked another user account and it is OK. That led me to believe that is was a system preference problem. I tried to delete the apple sound pref and systemsound pref plist files but there has been no change.
    Thanks.

    Nevermind I figured it out. The Hear application I had installed finally kicked in with Snow Leopard and the last setting was on mute.

  • Best compression for video with a lot of static text and graphics

    Hello! I am producing an instructional DVD and am getting ready to output the files and was wondering what the best compression format would be for me to use.
    About 1/3 of the clips consist of video shot in SD with very little movement (guy sitting at a desk talking to the camera.) The rest contains graphics created in After Effects and then imported back into Final Cut. The graphics are primarily text based, and don't change too often. There are some still images as well, but they are static for the most part save for some occasional panning. Oh, and the total length of all the video clips is about 70 minutes.
    I would like to compress these videos so as to get the best possible quality in the text. I did a few tests, but the quality in the letters seemed a little worse than I had hoped. Is this just going to be an inevitability I have to live with, or is there a particular setting that would help me out?
    Thanks for reading this; any help would be greatly appreciated!
    PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1.25 GB DDR SDRAM

    You know--I really have no idea why I didn't do it that way. I exported uncompressed files from After Effects and then imported them into FCP; some of the files are huuuge, like 60 GB+
    I think in the next version of this I will probably just edit in FCP then import it into AE, and then export from there. As it stands though, I've sort of made some changes and done stuff in FCP after importing the clips, so I'd like to just export using Compressor.
    So are you saying it's better to export uncompressed from FCP and then import that into Compressor and go from there? I've been just selecting the 'Export Using Compressor' option in FCP and going from there...
    Thanks!

  • With Netscape all of the Webcam shots from live feeds were automatically saved in my cache folder and I could simply open my cache send the saved files into AcDsee and convert them into jpgs, It would save as many as I would allow space for. With firefox

    I cant retrieve my images from webcams that are cached any more with mozilla. With netscape all of the live webcam images from live cams were automatically saved in my cache folder and all i had to do was open it send the files to acdsee and turn them into jpgs. It would save them untill the Cache ran out of room no matter how many files or sites I had running. Mozilla seems to save what it wants when it wants and often dose not save any that I can retrieve because I believe it is bulking them into Cache 123 or 4 and those i cant open to retrieve the files. Sometimes it saves 100 or so and sometimes 2 or 3 sometimes 10 or more but i don't seem to have any control over what it does or does not save to retrieve no matter how much space i allow for the cache to save.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I finally gave up trying to keep netscape due to all the ridiculess popups and continued reminders from you saying i had to switch over

    You have or had an extension installed (Ant.com Toolbar) that has changed the user agent from Firefox/3.6.3 to Firefox/3.0.12.
    You can see the Firefox version at the top and the user agent at bottom of the "Help > About" window (Mac: Firefox > About Mozilla Firefox).
    You can check the '''general.useragent''' prefs on the '''about:config''' page.
    You can open the ''about:config'' page via the location bar, just like you open a website.
    Filter: '''general.useragent'''
    If ''general.useragent'' prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose ''Reset''.
