Captivate 3 is wrong size when importing into Flash CS3

I've tried exporting, publishing etc. and no matter how I
try, when I import into Flash CS3 the size of the Captivate content
(background screens, in particular) are too small. For example, I
captured a 423x424 area for my Captivate project. When I import
into a Flash CS3 project with the same dimensions the Captivate
content (screens) are more like 203x203.5 and the mouse path and
slide context starting positions are upper left corner. I've tried
adjusting some of the importing settings but can't get the screens
the right size unless I resize each one manually - and I have
around 100. Any help greatly appreciated!

I am using captivate 3 and I get an error whenever I try to
export to flash cs3. unknown error.
why the hell doesnt Adobe say that flash is required to
export to flash BEFORE I buy the software? I am using my pc for
captivate, but am primarily mac based and was going to edit in
flash on my mac. but captivate didnt allow for me to export to
flash at all without any kind of flash installed. I installed a
demo version of flash, but the export is coming up with an error.
any ideas out there? adobe??? I'm currently using vista OS.
thanks in advance. r

Maintaining original video size when importing into Flash

Hi All,
We've imported a number of videos for a client in order to
stream them via Flash. The problem we are experiencing though is
that flash seems to stretch the video height. For example, here is
the video on Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7EWMzIXQg8
which is fine
and here is the video imported into flash:
http://www.geofframm.com/movie/frommetoyou.html
We've tried adjusting the height/width settings, but to no
avail.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Best wishes

AAC audio file increase in size when imported into DVD Studio Pro

Hello all!
I just encountered a very unique issue with the DVD Studio Pro. I used the compressor to export my video as an MPEG2 file and my audio as AAC file. After the compression my audio file had an .mpg4 extention and was about 160MB in size. When I imported it into my DVD Studio Pro project, however, the audio increased in size to 1.2 GB. I tried so many different compressions, but the problem really is (I think) that the file bumps up in size once imported into DVD SP project. Is there anything in preferences that I need to adjust or change? Please help!
Thank you.

Hi
I'm a little lost now with versions history, but if you have A.Pack in your App folder, then must use it. Check this tutorial: Encoding AC3 with A.Pack.
Compressor 2 and 3 has AC3 encoding inside the main application.

How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

iDVD does not care about file sizes, as it compresses the file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
It only cares about length i.e. max 2 hours including titles etc.
iDVD encoding settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

Swf's/flash,banners When Importing Into Dreamweaver Put Out Slices..

Hi guys/gals
I think im doing it wrong or missing something, even have a funny feeling i might have to use some css? Not really sure.
My problem is after i have saved my move,banner - when imported into dreamweaver it puts all the slices out of whack ?
I cant find anywhere to import it into my photoshop layout, can't "Bring to front" in dream weaver <- ? :/
I have searched everywhere and I can't find with my terms what im looking for..I figure if nothing is coming up then im going about this
the wrong way
Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Hi
Slicing images from a photoshop comp and then creating a web page from them is never a good idea, and will present many compatibility problems for you. A better alternative is to use css based layouts, this does not mean that you must forget what you have done in photoshop just that the procedure is probably slightly more complex for someone who has not used css layouts before,
A good place to start would be the css basics tutorial then the, using css starter pages tutorial from the tutorials shown on this page - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/css.html.
(the 2 tutorials mentioned are - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/table_to_css_pt1.html, and http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/table_to_css_pt2.html.
There is also a number of videos that may interest you at - http://tv.adobe.com/product/dreamweaver/.

Help needed with Illustrator texture swatches imported into Flash

Hey, so I basically scanned a texture into illustrator and added it into the swatches. After drawing a character in illustrator I used the colour of the swatch I had added to colour in my character and by using the tilde button I could move the texture to see which speicifc part of the texture I wanted for certain parts.
Once I completed my character I imported him into Flash. Here is where the problem lies in, when I attempt to use the bone tool to animate him, as soon as I move a certain limb, the specific texture I had applied for that certain area causes the texture to move and make the area that I had coloured in using the swatches look different to what I initially imported into Flash.
This has been a huge problem I have been facing and haven't been able to find an answer anywhere, I would really appreciate if I could get some help with this. Thank you very much!
P.S. If i explained my situation poorly, just ask for an image and I will gladly post a few so everything's clearer and makes more sense.

Importing PDF into flash CS3 - Importer du PDF dans CS3

Hello.
Originally, i posted my question in french. So i will try to
convert in english, but my english is poor.
You can see the original in french, in back of this topic, in
bolded text
So, my problem : i can import some PDF files with Flash MX
2004, but i cannot do the same with Flash CS3.
When i import (import in the scene - Command+R) the PDF file
in Flash MX 2004, i got the vectorial logo correctly and the text
as a text.
But when i import (import in the scene - Command+R) the same
PDF file into Flash CS3, there is a problem. At start, i cannot
click the PDF file, i have to choose "all the files" to can click
it. Then i click it and there is a pop window appearing, talking
about "importing video". But my PDF is not Video… And at the
end, the result is a poor jpg image of my PDF, not the vectorials
that i would like.
So why the old Flash MX can do it easily, and the recent CS3
can not ?
What i have to do ?
Bonjour,
Jusqu'à peu, j'utilisais Flash MX 2004 et quand je
faisais une importation dans la scène, je pouvais importer des
fichiers PDF, et j'obtenais en quelques dixiemes de secondes,
l'importation du contenu (en général quelques logos en
vectoriel et du texte). Léger, simple, rapide, efficace !
Et puis j'ai installé la version CS3 Professionnal, et
là c'est la débacle.
Quand je fais importation dans la scène, et
sélectionne une PDF (déjà il m'a fallu aller sur
"tous les fichiers" pour le dégriser) il me sort une usine
à gaz dont voici quelques détails.
- Il commence par m'ouvrir une fenêtre "importer de la
vidéo" me demandant de sélectionner si ladite vidéo
est sur mon DD ou déjà "déployée" sur le web.
(Mon fichier PDF n'a rien de vidéo, c'est une image fixe, nom
de xxx).
-Si je continue, il me demande "comment je veux la
déployer ?". 5je ne veux rien déployer, je veux juste
importer 2 ou 3 vecteurs et du texte !)
- je lui dis de "l'incorporer dans le swf". Il me demande
comment je veux incorporer la vidéo. (C'EST PAS DE LA
VIDÉO, t'es sourd sale bête !!!)
- je lui explique que le "type de symbole" est graphique
(j'ai le même résultat si je mets clip) et il me demande
le codage.
- si je décoche "coder la vidéo" il refuse de
continuer, et si je le coche, il m'importe une espèce de jpeg
atroce, pixelisé à mort et inexploitable (tout du moins
pour l'usage que je compte faire).
Donc ma question est "est-ce que j'ai raté un
épisode ?" (oui, plusieurs, certes, mais de là à
changer complètement l'histoire, faut pas abuser) et la
suivante c'est surtout "comment faire pour importer convenablement
mes fichiers PDF qui ne comporte que quelques logos en vectoriel et
du texte, et le tout fixe fixe fixe, rien à voir avec de la
vidéo ?"
En attendant, je ré-installe Flash MX pour avancer un
peu, mais je ne peux pas croire qu'une fonction primordiale soit
supprimée, comme ça, sans remplacement.
Os court !

Is that really the end, doc ?

Help! Photoshop edited jpg color distorts when imported into Muse

Okay, so I am trying to build a photography webpage (among others) and I edit most of my photos in photoshop. All photos that I edit in photoshop and save to jpg, look great when printed, uploaded to facebook, etc. however when I import them into Adobe Muse for and put them on my webpage, the colors of the photos become desaturated and/or slightly distorted (so that they look dull). When I edit images in lightroom and save them as jpg and import them into Muse, they look fine, but colors edited in photoshop seem to mess up my photos when imported into Muse.
What am I doing wrong?!

You are using some odd color management settings and not converting to sRGB most likely... Check your settings in PS itself and the Save for Web dialog and experiment around.

Swf increase size mystery publishing into Flash 8 and Flash CS4

Hello,
i discovered recently that a swf build with Flash 8 IDE, published for Flash Player 8 get a different size when published with Flash CS4 IDE.
You can reproduce that effect with all sort of swf.
I did a report for each publish (same .fla into Flash 8 IDE and Flash CS4 IDE)
The result was : all vector graphics, all fonts, all bitmaps, all actionscript code increased
From test.fla, i did one key frame with :
- a dynamic TextField with some simple chars in it = "Test Chars",
- a simple shape with brush tool
- and one movieclip with an ordinary circle
Size report from Flash 8 :

Does somebody knows something about this strange phenomen ?

Didn't look at the file size of the FLA, just the SWF as I didn't even necessarily resave the CS4 as CS6. No edits were made, I tried it with a simple open and publish just to make sure I wasn't doing anything to change the file and the resulting file was heavier (kb).
I looked through the size reports and saw that while image compression was better in the CS6 version, the fonts were all heavier than they were in the CS4 version and this put it over the 40kb limit.

Importing into Flash a Fireworks image - advice please!

Importing into Flash using a Fireworks image - advice please!
New'ish to Flash so hope I'm in the right forum ;-)
I have made and image using gradients in Fireworks and have been using FW for ages (please see example below).
I am importing into Flash CS4 this image and want to use it with a Flash component however the image quality is really bad in Flash and I cant figure out why. I have increased the image to 300dpi in Fireworks to see if that helps and it doesn't.
I'm hoping this is a simple thing I am missing due to not knowing Flash as well as I do Fireworks.
Really grateful for any advise. P.

Hi there,
No not trying to adjust size of the image in Flash, do that all before hand.
In Fireworks I can adjust resolution but don't seem to be able to in Flash, is this def the case?

Importing H.264 into Flash CS3

I have an H.264 video that I saved out from FCP via Compressor using the H.264 Format for QT 7.0. The Video looks great when viewed in Quicktime. It was my understanding the H.264 is now supported by the Flash Player natively; however, when I try to IMPORT my H-264.mov into Flash CS3 it looks like it only offers me two choices of RE-Encoding to wither VP6 or Spark - this results in an inferior result after it re-compresses the video.
Why can I not just reference the H.264 movie to play without re-encoding?

This is what I did. I saved my movie to the MP4 format in my video editing program and then I used this program to encode it with the H.264 codec. http://www.h264encoder.com Then I used this program to move the metadata from the back of the file to the front so that it would start to play before it completely downloaded. http://howbits.com/stream-mp4-website-h264-high which leads to this link http://rndware.info/download/metadatamover09
I hope this helps you.

What happens to CC or Watermarks when imported into PrPro

HI all,
my question (s) are about information that is stored in the out of tv safety feilds when imported into Adobe premeir pro. files will be mpeg-2 video files SD and Hd
1) what happens to closed Captioning data (does it get moved or is it stripped)?
2) what happens to Nielsen watermarks on line 22 and 20?
Can anybody give me an understanding of this.
thank you much!!

Nothing happens to the music on your computer. Nothing will "combine" unless this other person actually downloads something to your computer. Simply logging into an iTunes account does not instigate any automatic downloads of anything.

Maximum file size for importing into Premiere Pro CS6

Hi,
I'm considering recording raw video, no compression at 720p, 30 fps for 20-30 min. This woudl result in a file that is close to 80 Gbytes. I'm wondering what the maximum file size for importing into premiere Pro is and if I need to split this file up into smaller pieces. Any recommendations on how I may deal with uncompressed raw video that is pretty long in length?
Thanks,
Serena

There is bound to be some limit somewhere in the program, but you should be well below that. The biggest issue might be whether your computer is up to the task of handling it. If you will post your computer specs., someone will give you comments on that aspect.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro. I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done. Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

Imported ID pdfs appearance alters when imported into Quark as picture

Can anyone tell me why Indesign created pdf's change when imported into a quark picture box? I receive ads from various companies for a magazine in hi-rez pdf formats and when imported the appearance changes to include all the components/elements/boxes/etc. of the make-up of the ad....the things that are not supposed to be seen. Please help... advertisers are complaining and i can not stop it, or fix it.

Quark converts PDFs to EPS internally and thus has no support for the
more advanced features of PDFs exported from InDesign.
You should request EPS or PDF X/1-a if you want to continue to use
Quark. That said, this is an InDesign forum so I will heartily recommend
you switch to InDesign.
As you've discovered more and more folks are doing just that and you're
going to be left in the dust and those advertisers are going to be
looking elsewhere to spend their money.
