Bringing in paused video

Is there a way to introduce a video clip, such that it animates in paused on the first frame, and waits for a click to start playing?
I've been doing this with a workaround involving a captured still-frame, but hopefully there's an easier method.
Thanks!

"Otherwise please explain what action is meant by "it animates in paused on the first frame".
ok -
My first click brings the video onto the slide with a "flip" animation. However, instead of the video playing right away, I just want it to be paused on the first frame, waiting for the next click which will start the video.
does that make sense?

Elements 12 video player automatically pauses & video time line

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to use Premier elements 12 to do a few things & cannot find the answer to a few questions I have & was hoping someone could help me
1) When using the elements video player (one built in) if I start to play a video, it's automatically pauses after about 7 seconds. Is there a way to have it not auto pause?
2) When I bring in a video & look at the "Video1" bar, I notice the video only shows for about 30 seconds & then there is a blue space. How do I get the video clip to show thru out (in the Video1 bar) ?
Thanks

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Could use that information if we get into any computer specific Q&A details.
I think that we need to start with
a. What are the properties of what you are importing into your project, such as...
video compression
audio compression
frame size
frame rate
interlaced or progressive
file extension
pixel aspect ratio
We need that information as it relates to the next question. We could direct you to video audio properties readout program for the information but let us try to get the necessary information from knowledge of the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video.
b. What is the project preset that you or the program is setting to match the properties of the source video?
(See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and tell us what you see for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Rate, Pixel Aspect Ratio - even if the
fields look grayed out).
c. When you are playing your Timeline content in the Edit area monitor is there an orange line over its content.
d. To the left of the name "Video 1" is a filmstrip icon. That represents the video display style. It has 4 different display types. You toggle to get the display type that you want - assumed the one where video thumbnails populate the whole Timeline clip's duration. That is the display type which is seen in the above screenshot. So, one click at a time on the filmstrip icon until you get the preferred video display style. The audio tracks also have display styles - only two different ones not four like the video display style. (For audio, see the speaker icon to the left of the name "Audio 1")
Please review, consider, and supply the necessary information. Then we will sort through the details to discover the core of your reported issue.
Thank you.

Bluetooth headphones disconnecting after pausing video content on Yosemite.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
Yosemite 10.10.3 (latest public beta)
(short) My Beats Studio Wireless headphones will disconnect after pausing video content.
(long) My headphones will connect without issue. However, after watching video content (either on Safari or QuickTime), the headphones will disconnect from bluetooth. To re-connect, I must turn the headphones off then back on. I have read the bluetooth faqs and there are no solutions addresses this issue. I have had moderate results by removing com.apple.bluetooth.plist and re-pairing my devices, yet, the problem returns after watching video in Safari. This problem only persists on OS X. I have tested the headphones with Windows and iOS and they work as intended with no dropouts. Any ideas?

Hi tlacroixia,
Thank you for the response. Because this is not happening when your computer goes to sleep, the first troubleshooting steps I would recommend would be to reset your computer’s PRAM and SMC. Please follow the instructions located in the attached two articles below to complete these steps, and again, please let me know if the issue continues.

Pausing video on Video Chat

Is there any way to pause the video for a video chat on a MacBook like closing the shutter did on the original iSight?
MacBook 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)

From iChat Help:
Pausing a video chat
Choose Video > Pause Video to freeze the video image you're sending. When the video is paused, the microphone button is highlighted in the video chat window. Click the microphone button to resume sending motion video.

Pause Video on Page Load

I am not able to pause video on page load in Oracle webcenter.I used HTML markup to embed a video.Any Help?
Urgent.

Try checking the html ebed code for your flash flv and look
in the flash vars line and make sure it reads something like
autoPlay=false. Check the entire code and change all of the
autoPlays to false... See if that works for you.

Paused Video Kills Alarm

I originally posted this with a different subject line. I'm now almost convinced that this is an iPod software issue related to paused video and the alarm clock feature. If anyone can reproduce this, please post here. I have an open case issue with Apple on this, and I'd like some corroborative data.
Here are the steps that cause the problem on my Windows-formatted iPod...
1) Set an alarm to play a play list a few minutes from the present time.
2) Go to videos and start playing one, but stop the playing by pressing the 'menu' button. The video is now paused.
3) Now press and hold the 'play/pause' button to turn the iPod off.
4) Watch and wait for the iPod alarm to trigger. For me, the iPod does come on, but it's doesn't play any songs. It's in the state it was when it was turned off - i.e. at the list of videos.
5) Now move your thumb around the click wheel as if to scroll the list of videos. For me, the menu items - i.e. the names of the videos - disappear. What I see is just the blue selection highlight that moves up and down on an otherwise blank screen.
You can also pause the video (step 2) by pressing the 'play/pause' button instead of the 'menu' button. That will also prevent the play list from playing, but since the iPod is not displaying a list when it wakes up, there are no disappearing menu items. It does, however, behave a bit flaky.
Does anyone else see this?
Thanks,
Steve

You have concidered the fact however that it may just be that if you want music to play you have to have paused a song or be in the playlist which you would like to wakeup to?
The fact that the play list doesn't play is just one problem. As mention in my original post, the other is that the list items disappear after the iPod wakes up. Thus, I suspect a bug (or that I have a faulty unit). Since everything else about the iPod seems to work, a bug is more likely.

Firefox hangs for a few seconds when trying to pause videos or skip ads on Youtube.

Hello all!
My problem is that YouTube sort of hangs for a few seconds when I try to pause a video or skip ahead or skip ads. The video freezes while the audio keeps playing until, after say 5 seconds, youtube finally does what I tell it to do.
This doesn't happen if the video is embedded on a different website, nor does it happen on Vimeo, Dailymotion etc. I can play YouTube videos perfectly while using Chrome, IE and a Windows 8 Youtube app I have.
After the initial freeze all commands start working very well, at least until I open a new video.
I noticed that a lot of people are having trouble with youtube while using firefox and I've tried a few things:
- uninstalling and reinstalling flash and java
- starting Firefox in safe mode
- using different antivirus software
- reinstalling Firefox
I read that this might be a problem caused by the whole Google being all buddy-buddy with Adobe thing, but I'm skeptical.
So, is there any way to get YouTube to work properly?
Thanks!

Sound goes out of sync after pausing video

Hi everyone,
Got a 1 month old Apple TV which is working just great with videos bought off the store... However I've run into a really annoying problem when watching videos that I've encoded myself. They will all play just fine, from beginning to end - unless I pause them. When the videos are un-paused the sound is badly out of sync, and no amount of pausing/unpausing stopping/starting will get it back in sync again. Best I can do is restart from the beginning and fast forward to the same spot and this usually results in a better sync - but not perfect. This happens with both SD and HD encoded video. They are playing off the internal drive having been synced over from my itunes library.
My Apple TV is on 3.0.1 firmware and I'm running iTunes on a Windows 7 laptop. I've been using "Any Video Converter Pro" (http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video/)to re-encode my videos as I don't know much about the subject and it has an AppleTV option which makes it really easy...
Here's the settings used for a typical video file: 1280x720 resolution with a 3500kbs bit-rate at 25fps, audio bit-rate of 128kbs with a 44100 sample rate. 2 channels.
Would be grateful for any ideas on what's going wrong here as this is really spoiling my enjoyment of the apple tv.
Cheers,
Steve

Sounds like the encoder software causing issues.
When I encode on the Mac from my Camcorder to itunes/ATV I use HandBrake with good results - there is linux and Windoze versions versions available.
It has a preset for ATV as the destination which saves the hassle of tweaking the settings to start with....
It's been around sometime and was fantastic help when I went from Windoze to Mac a few years ago, and I wanted to re-encode all those files I had still in raw DV format from the camera.

Record Audio/Pause Video

I'm trying to create a couple of captivate videos. Have
finished the videorecording. When I started to record audio, what
I've captured runs to fast. Is there any way of pausing the video
on certain frames while recording the audio?

not with flash. check abode air.

Can't bring out the video control penal

When playing the video, the control penal is not displayed. Tried all settings but can't bring it out. Pl. help.

Odd. Try restarting the iPad (hold Home and Sleep until the apple log appears), or a restore via iTunes

Flash Player 11.3.300.265 Crashes when paused video/stream loses focus to a different firefox window

Whenever I have a video or stream in fullscreen and paused and I try and use my other screen for firefox, it will crash.
I have the latest update of flash player (11.3.300.265) & firefox (13.01, also tried 14.0 beta)
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I have hardware acceleration disabled in both firefox and flash.

Hi,
I had the same. Adobe blamed RealPlayer for the bug but that's not true. It's the protected mode. You have to turn it off via editing a file manually.

Good Luck! Adobe messed this up really badly... ts ts ts

Pause Video Keyboard Shortcut While Using Word

I am curious if there is a way to pause a video playing on the internet while using word.
I am watching a prerecorded lecture on Safari and taking notes in Word. It is incredibly annoying having to switch back and forth to pause the video so I can copy down what the professor says.
It would be a huge help if I could simply hit "Command or Option Whatever" and simply pause the video without leaving Word. Perhaps modifying the F8 key (a pause button that tries to open iTunes when I hit it)?
I really appreciate any help the community can lend. Thank you in advance.
-Graham-

I think the problem here is focus. The default keystroke for iTunes to play/pause will not be captured by the application unless you have the focus on iTunes.
I have no idea how you are used to working, but if you are just taking some notes at first, can you not resize Word and place it next to the video playback window? Or perhaps if Word resizing is too difficult, use a smaller text editor to do the same, than cut and paste into your word document, post-note taking, to format, etc?
Other than that, I don't know how to make custom shortcuts/key-assignments to create a work-around. Sorry.

Premier Pro 5.5 - Sound will not resume after pausing video - HELP PLEASE !

Hi everyone.
I have a co-worker that is having a very strange problem. After he pauses a video and tries to restart it, video works fine but the sound will not resume. This doesn't happen all the time but it does happen often.
Please help.
Here is the system specs:
MacPro 2.6 Xeon
8 GB RAM
Kona Capture card
OSX 10.6
Thanks for you contribution.
JC.

Hi Todd.
I just finished running all the updates for adobe and it did not find any updates for Premier Pro, so the current version I have is 5.5. I'm going to check to see if there is any update I can download from Adobe that is not been detected by adobe updater so I can upgrade to Premier 5.5.1.
Thanks Todd.

"space" won't pause video

Hi, I'm using the latest version of Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and the latest version of itunes 9.0 and found a bug. If I open a video podcast and press the spacebar while the video has focus (is on top of other windows) it won't pause or start, but if I give the itunes window focus the spacebar will pause and play as expected.
I've repaired permissions and still no change.

Hi- I've noticed this problem I think since updating to iTunes 9 (i.e. well before Snow Leopard) but may have a solution/workaround.
I went to System Preferences to try to manually set the keyboard shortcut for Play and Pause to space, but it wouldn't let me define a shortcut with out cmd, opt, ctrl. So I defined opt+space as Play and Pause and restarted iTunes.
On restarting space works perfectly on both video and audio tracks to Play and Pause (as well as my new and now-pointless opt+space shortcut).
Hope this helps someone.

Pausing Video causes audio dropouts in Connect Pro

When playing video (flv clips stored on the Adobe Connect Pro site), normally no buffering occurs: the video plays back as fast as it loads, and the worst problem that might occur is the occasional freeze-up due to inadequate bandwidth.
If you pause the video during playback for any reason, the video continues to download, and this buffering is visible in the playback bar. However, when you resume playback, after a few seconds the audio drops out (as video continues to play); the silence typically continues for 15 seconds or more, and then sound resumes. This is not good.
The problem is highly repeatable, and does not seem to be related to connectivity, bandwidth or other issues. Tweaking the room settings and personal connection speed have no impact, and the problem has been replicated on several different computers, using different Internet connections, using both Internet Explorer and Firefox as the Web client, and playing several different video files. In short, it seems to me to be a bug in the Adobe Connect Plug-in client software.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix? (I have some "workaround" suggestions, if anyone wants them.)

Could be a drive problem. You might consider installing a second internal drive and using that for your media. I've got a sata card and a 5 bay enclosure and find them much more stable then firewire drives.
You might "repair" the drive using the disk utility to see if there are any problems. DiskWarrior is a very good investment and will fix many "directory" structure problems that the diskutility won't solve.
