Button AS for video clip

Hello folks,
I know my question is probably stupid and very basic. But I
am new in Flash, so there is obviously lot of confusion. I would
like to post few video clips on my website (there are in Quick Time
format right now) What is the best way to do it. Should I import it
to Flash's library and play the clip from there? If so, do I need
to convert it to .fla first, or can I leave it in QT? And what is
the Action Script for this. When someone clicks on button called
for example: SEE VIDEO. What AS do I have to put into that button
for this video to play.
Thank you very much for any input.
Janek

Yes, I am an extremely new user, am having a similar problem
that I have a video file that I would like to play, but first I
have a jpg file that I would like to act as a button to start the
video. I have documentation (from Macromedia Training from the
Source) that tells me I can add AS to the hit portion of the button
(as I used to in flash 5) but I can't seem to get this to work. The
script assist tells me I can't add AS to the button.
Thanks for any help you can give me. suenashed

No volume adjustment for video clips

Hi there!
I have noticed that the volume adjustment for video clips, set in the options pane of the clip itself, will not be respected by iTunes while playing the video.
Is there someone else with a similar issue or already with a solution?
Thanks in advance!

I've tested all versions since 10.0.1 (for PC) and none work. Versions 10.0.1 and below will allow you to change the volume adjustmant and the equalizer setting for individual videos. No answer from apple! You can try an older version like I did.

Custom Library section - For Video Clips

Hey I was wondering if there is away to make a custom itunes library section for video clips?
I have a bunch of funny, racing, and youtube clips I downloaded a long time ago. They are the only thing I dont have in my iTunes library but they dont fit in the Music or Tv section.
Any suggestion? or scripts in order to be able to add a custom section, I dont care if it doesnt sync with my iphone, ipod, or apple tv. I just want them to be in iTunes.
Thanks

Bump, even if there isn't a way to have a custom section, is there a way to submit a suggestion to Apple support. It would be great to have other sections that relate to what kind of Media. Since I dont read Audio books I would put them in that section but it doesnt read video files. I really hate having them under the movie section and music video section.
I really hope apple / iTunes team will allow custom sections that will allow any video files to be added.

Using a Video Button. Do I have to make a timeline for video clip?

I am just learning how to use Encore CS6 and I have a question.
When I add a Video Button to my menu and want add a video clip inside that button do I have to make that clip its own Timeline or can I keep the clip in my Project Panel and just Drag and Drop it into the Video Button itself?
Thanks in advance
Encore CS 6
Power Mac Intel Xeon
10GB RAM

Thanks, but I have another question:
Let's say I have made made 20 new individual 30 Second QT Movies (or QT Reference Movies to save Hard Drive Space), and I want to use them on a Menu that I will constuct using a Template Menu and Submenus found in Encore CS 6.
I make my Menu ans Submenus and put 20 Video Buttons on 4 Submenus (5 on each Submenu). I import all 20 of my Newly Made QT Movies that I am going to use for the Video Buttons.
In order to place them in each Video Button, I would have to make 20 Different Timelines each consisting on an Individual 30 second QT movie and linking each timelone to a different button?
Is that how it works?
Do I have to have these timelines open, or can I just link to them inside the Project Pane in Encore?
Can I put all 20 QT movies on one Timeline, add markers to the beginning of each one and link the Video Buttons to each indivifual QT movie?
Thanks in advamce

A tip how to make iMovie '08 rescan the iPhoto library for video clips

I could not figure out how to easily force iMovie '08 to rescan all iPhoto library video clips. My problem was that my Casio S880 videos had the audio format DVI ADPCM which is not supported by iMovie '08. I made a script which transcoded all my iPhoto library videos' audio track to AAC. But after this was done, the iMovie didn't still show them in iPhoto videos. iMovie checks only for NEW entries in iPhoto Library after last scan.
One simple workaround is to duplicate the transcoded video in iPhoto and then delete the original. But if you have a lot of clips here is a better way to do this:
NOTE: This trick does not reimport already imported clips. This trick is useful only if you want to force iMovie '08 to recheck old iPhoto movie clips if they are now valid for iMovie '08 or not.
1. Close iMovie '08
2. Open file HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie7.plist with the Property List Editor application (I think the application is part of Apple Developer Tools, I'm not sure if included in default installation). You may want to take a backup of the property file before opening it!
3. Find "lastiPhotoXMLDate" property and change the date value to be some older date, for example if you want to scan all files just change the year part to 1980 or similar.
4. Save the property file
5. Open iMovie '08, it should now check all iPhoto movie clips again if they are valid for iMovie '08.
The same thing can be achieved by just deleting the HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie7.plist file, but then you lose all your other settings.

I apologize for my confusion on your question. I find that depending on the principal of each photo and my target audience to determine the time frame for each photo. It seems most people get impatient with viewing one photo for more than 1-2 seconds if the photo is not complex.
If there are several things that interests the viewers in any one image, they want to look at it a second or two longer. If the movie of images is a training aid, the images may need to be more than 3 seconds. For intro's, or a trailer for a training movie, no longer than 1-2 seconds.
That was a long answer to say, generally speaking, I find 3 seconds to be an average time length.

Recording commentary track for video clip

I have recorded and edited some video clips and now i want to record an audio commentary to layer onto the audio of the video clip, like how directors do the alternate commentary track for a lot of dvds. It would be a recording of 2-6 people sitting viewing the video together with it's original audio.
Ideally,
1)I would mic each person and feed the mic into the computer to record them each as seperate tracks. I think stp can't do that, but garageband might?
2)I don't want the mics picking up the original audio of the scene they are watching, but I want the people giving the commentary to hear the original audio, as well as what they are saying and what the other people that are sitting in and recording are saying. So the only way I can see that working is to somehow have the original audio of the scene piped into headphones, along with the audio of all the other tracks being recorded.
So how is this all possible, either through my method or another method you could think of. And what equipment would i need, like a mixer or audio interface. If I can't do this natively in stp, than what can I use, like garageband, that i can import into stp for final mixing.

1) STP 1 can't do multi-track recording but STP 2 will be able to do it. In the meantime, yes, you can use GarageBand.
2) You're right, you'll need headphones.
If you want dedicated audio tracks for each one, you'll need an audio interface with multiple preamps like MOTU 8pre. You could also use only a stereo mic to record the whole room. That way, you could use an interface with only two mic pres and you'll need less mics too. And since it would be only one track, you'll be able to use STP. For this kind of recording, you'll want to use condenser mics.

Audio Sample Rate for Video Clips?

How do you check the audio sample rate for a clip of video?
Thanks.

scroll over in the browser until you get to the column for audio. That's one way.

Looking for video clip sources

can anyone point me to somewhere I can buy pre-masked video clips of things such as animals?
For example, I want to make a clip of bees swarming around people, but I need a short pre-masked video clip of a bee in flight to do this.
thanks in advance.

have you googled "footage" or "video clips"?
Oxford Scientific Films are good for nature stuff, and the BBC

Recommended method for video clip on site

Hi all and thank you very much for your help so long.
I have a video clip of about 6minutes. What is the recommended way to put this clip on my site? I don't want viewers to use a lot of bandwidth to watch this. Is it better to put in on YouTube with the embedded link on my site or what do you think?
This will be the first time ever I put a video clip on my site.
Regards,
Deon

Hi Deon,
Yes, using an external service seems to be a good choice. Their servers are designed to deliver video.

Ken Burns effect for video clips

I like how you can pan a photo using ken burns in final cut pro x. Is there a way to do the same feature in video? I'd love a simple way to move around within a video clip without having to film using a slider.

I wonder if it would work better when video cams start outputting 4k.
Not really, not if you edit in a 4k project. It's becoming more common to shoot large frame formats and edit in 1080p, allowing you to reframe the shot. Personally I think that's just lazy, but I'm then one film camera old school.

Why is the share button missing for videos in photostream?

I select Photos > Shared > %Photostream Name% > %photo%, and I get a 'Share' button (square box with an arrow) at the bottom of the page. However, I do the same thing for a video, and the 'Share; button is missing. See the attached image. How do I message/mail/save/etc. videos from Photostream?

iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
Alternative: Click on the top right hand corner of the photo or use the keyboard short cut (command-period)

Premiere CS3 Freezes when 'Generating Peak File' for Video Clips

Well the title explains it all really.
I'm importing a large 7.5 gb video file (.avi) and in the bottom corner it says 'Generating Peak File for xxxx'.
Which is fine until the bar is right at the end, and Premiere freezes on me and I have to end the process..
Thanks for your time!

Thumbnails for Video Clips

Is there a way to create video thumbnails that are hyperlinked without having to create a screen cap of the video?

Trashing iMovie's preference file may fix problems with iMovie. The file can become corrupted under some circumstances.
Go to the Home (your User) folder Library/Preferences (not the Library folder at the top level in Macintosh HD). If you are on Lion (10.7.4) or Mountain Lion (10.8.1), the Home Library folder will be hidden (unlike earlier OS X versions). To access it, click on Go in the Finder menu bar, then press and hold down the Option key - the Library folder will appear in the drop down list, enabling access to it.
In the Home/Library/Preferences folder, locate a file named "com.apple.iMovie7.plist". This is the preference file for iMovie '08. With iMovie closed, drag this file to the Desktop. When next opened, iMovie will create a fresh preference file with the default settings. If iMovie now runs OK, you can change these settings in the menu item "IMovie>Preferences" as desired.
Also, it's now safe to drag the old preference file to the Trash. Trashing the file will not harm your existing Events or Projects but may fix the problem you are experiencing.

What is the right Format for Video Clips?

I have been searching for an answer to this for a while. I render animations out of my 3d program with these settings:
CCIR 601/Quantel NTSC
Pixel aspect of 720x486
Device Aspect Ratio: 1.333
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 0.9
Compression: dv/dvcpro NTSC
Rendered out as a Quicktime .mov
I put clips together in imovie and after using idvd for producing a DVD, my images are coming out sqaushed on the tv when viewed. Does any one know what Im doing wrong or what the Ideal format is for good quality using imovie, idvd, and viewed on a tv? Please help.

iMovie converts all material to DV. So, if possible, output DV streams as NTSC (720x480, 29.97 fps, 48 kHz audio, flagged as 4:3 or 16:9) so you avoid re-conversions. Another option (if the 3D app can't output DV streams) is to encode similar DV codec inside a MOV wrapper.

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.
