Change symbols in playback control

My customer have symbols for play, pause and next that I must use in the playback control. The playback control should lay in the bottom of the frame (in the skin). Can I replace the symbols from one already existing playback control or do I have to create one by myself? In that case, how do I do?
I am working in CP5.5

You need to create your own custom playbar. This means you'll need to be versed in ActionScript 3. It's NOT a trivial exercise.

Playback control changes when animation is inserted into anothr movie

Hi,
I have created a couple of movies and used a specific
playback control. When these movies (saved in swf format) are ran
separately, everything is fine and the appropriate palyback control
is shown. However, when I insert these animation (swf) into another
project, the playback control are different of this animation are
different !!! Any idea ?

Hi,
The problem still exists even if I have re-created the child
movies (swf version 8) with other playback control.
I have removed the playback control of the child movies and
then just re-imported them back to the master movie. The master
moview has been then published to EXE and it is fine (the child
movies dies not show anymore the playback control).
Then i have re-inserted the playback control into the child
movie, and re-imported them back into the master, then the master
published to EXE. And the problem is back, the child movies are
showing a diffeent playback control (the same as dpierre - the skin
used is dark grey, align top left, and the buttons don't actually
work.)
Is there a way to clear any cache that exists in the files
(if the problem is the chache) ? I have a huge project with 20-25
child movies to import into the master movie. It looks like a bug
?

Frame Offset Playback Control in FCP HD Not Working

if I output my audio via firewire, it works just fine. However, I am unable to playback audio in sync via built-in audio (which sounds far better than my firewire output device).
I've gone to to my FCP System Preferences; Playback Control and it has a default offset of 4 frames. But it's still out of sync. However, if I manually offset my audio in the timeline by 4 frames, it's IN sync. I've tried various frame rates in the Playback and it never syncs, in fact it appears as though nothing is changing, no matter what I set it at.
What am I overlooking or doing wrong? It just doesn't make sense.

I'm having the same problem on capture. I'm migrating from a PowerBook 800 to an Intel Imac. I need the Keyspan Serial to USB adapter to run the 422 port on my BetaCam player. I finally got it hooked up tonight.
I grabbed a piece of video, and I'm getting two error's. First, like you, I'm 4 frames off (I'm using a Window Dub so I see the offset). Secondly, when I stop the capture I get a window telling me there is some discrepancy with my captured audio rate. When I look at the setting for the clip, all the frame rates seem to match. When I check the video, the lip sync is indeed off.
So I'm using the same Keyspan adapter I've bee using using in Panther. Now I'm in Tiger, and I have what seems to be the latest, Intel Mac Keyspan update.
But when I type in an offset number. and hit return, it doesn't "take". There is no change on the offset if I do another capture, and when I go back to the setting, it is at zero. I remember in Panther the current offset number was always visible.
Any suggestions? I'm trying to get the offset to take, so I can capture proper time code on this BetaCam dub.
Thanks.

Is it possible to customize the playback controls bar in a dvd flash?

Is it possible to customize the playback controls bar in a dvd flash?

Is it possible to remove (not hide or disable but remove from the bar) some controls as "search", "title" ecc...
Thank You...

CS5 greatly improved the options for player configuration.

Playback Control in Captivate 4 as it was in version 3

Hi!
I have some projects made using the version 3.
When publishing them in that old Captivate, the playback control (stop, pause, etc buttons) was placed inside the borders of the project, so the measures of the whole movie (swf file) wasn't being changed.
But in the Captivate 4 the additional thick lines are added automatically. So the navigation bar becomes placed on them, not inside the project. Therefore the measures (width/height) of the swf file is increased and that is unacceptable for me.
How can I configure my Captivate 4 to publish the playback control as it was in the previous version?
I mean covering the presentation, but not taking the navigation bar out.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there
Unfortunately they changed that aspect. No workaround exists that I'm aware of. About all you can do is lodge your compliaint with the development team using the Bug form. (link is in my sig)

Playback Control Tab missing! Help!

Hello
I'm using Final Cut Studio 2 (6.0.5) to edit a project that was filmed on the Red Cam. When I import the full res quicktimes into the project and onto the timeline, the playback control tab doesn't have any options for me to change the playback quality, playback frame rate etc. I want to change them to low and half respectively. Going through FCP preferences doesn't seem to alter anything.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? It's a brand new Mac Pro we're running with Leopard 10.5.5.
Thanks

Your QTs are requiring a processor intensive play back.
Open one of your media files with QT and hit Command(Apple)+I, what you see in QT inspector window?
Red,
MXF wrapper works with AVID and Premiere.
Without Logging and Transferring its content into QTs MXFs would never get on a FCP timeline.

In Quicktime 10.3, why can't I hide the playback controls? It is most annoying when giving a presentation to a large group to see the control panel appear. I just want them to see the movie. Thanks!

How to hide playback controls?

The problem is I don't want my audience to EVER see the playback controls, just like I don't want to see a TV station's playback controls onscreen when watching TV. Same in a movie theater. The movie should just appear and play.
And not moving the mouse is not an option when going between a slide program and a movie program, which our presentations often if not always do.
Is there a way to do what I want in my computer using Quicktime?
There are no user preferences for any current version of QT X. If you must use "Full" screen mode, then start player playback before entering the "Full" screen mode and exit the "Full" screen mode before again moving the mouse to avoid seeing the controls when you do manipulate the mouse. Only other option might be to use a non-mirroring workflow strategy.
Does Quicktime Pro have that ability?
Yes and no. The QT 7 media player window normally displays the controls at all times. However, when keyed for "Pro" use, you can go to the "Properties" window and change the "Presentation" movie controller type to the "None Movie Controller" setting. In this setting all playing modes other than "Full" screen mode display the player with title bar above the viewing area but without side frame or controls under the display. If you are using the "Full" screen mode for your presentation, then you can open the "Preferences" window to the "Full Screen" tab and deselect display of the "full-screen controls." In both cases you will have to either use menu options to start/stop playback or double-click the display screen to start playback and single-click the display screen to stop playback manually. (NOTE: In the first instance the property setting is/can be saved to the file itself while in the second the setting is saved as a QT 7 Player preference to the player itself.)

Exit button on Playback Control

I'm using Captivate 1. All of the buttons work except the
Exit button on the Playback Control. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
TILOTOHA

TILOTOHA,
If the Exit button on the playbar isn't working, I'm afraid
there's not much to be done about that. We have no control over the
functionality of the playback controls.
That said, are you previewing the movie from a web server?
Previewing locally or from a network drive imposes security
restrictions on the browser and the Flash Player, which is the
cause of most "it doesn't work" reports in these forums. The only
way to truly know if something is working is to test your files
from a web server, where the security restrictions are much
lighter.
Everybody Else,
I'm assuming you're adding your own Exit buttons on the last
slide? If so, there may be a better way. As most folks probably
know, the "correct" way to close a window at the end of a project
is to go into the Project Preferences and set the action for the
Project end options to "Close project". This usually works.
As a backup, you can also insert some Javascript code in the
slide navigation for the last slide in your project. This will
"double your chances" of being able to close the window, without
the user having to click anything:
1. Double-click the last slide and on the Slide Properties
dialog, select Execute JavaScript from the Navigation dropdown.
2. Click the Ellipses (...) button to the right of the
JavaScript field and on the Javascript dialog, type the following
code:
window.top.opener = window.top; window.top.close();
The extra bit of code at the beginning is an attempt to
prevent IE from asking the user whether they want to close the
window. It may not actually work, but it doesn't seem to do any
harm to leave it in.
Jill -
If the slide navigation thing doesn't work for you, the
"button" solution is simply to add a button to the slide,
double-click to view it's properties, change the On success action
to Execute JavaScript and then enter the code as shown
above.

Re-set playback controls?

I removed the Exit and Info buttons from my "Smooth" playback
controls by renaming the exit and info "smooth" bmps in Captivate's
Gallery. but then the result was that the right side of the
playback controls appeared to be "cut off"....so I modified the
image in SnagIt and saved to "smooth-preview.bmp" in the Gallery.
But I get the "cut off" image instead of the fixed image...
I've tried changing the playback settings to another playback
control, re-compiling and then changing it back to "smooth", but
nothing works...
Pam

Hi Pam,
A change in the BMP images used by playback controls will not
normally be detected until you save the changes, then shut down and
restart, then change to a different style, then back - you get the
idea?
The images that make up the playback are being kept in the CP
file, and loaded when you open the project. So closing, then
changing to a different control, then back again, will force a
"reload", if you will.
Best of luck!!

Playback Control - Remove Info icon

Is there a way in which I can remove the info icon from the
playback control? It takes up too much room for the location I have
the control in. I'd like to be able to just eliminate it.
Suggestions?

Hi LabOwner (mad scientist or dog lover??)
Click on the link below, it will take you to Paul Dewhurst's
site where there are hordes of nifty Captivate gadgets and gimmicks
including full skins with no i button. Note most of Paul's stuff is
free to download as you want, but Paul does an awesome amount of
work for us all and he does have a PayPal account on his site, so
it would be nice to drop some change in the jar to encourage him to
continue with further developments.

How do you fix scaling issue with any video playback control bar (too small to see) on Firefox 28?

Using a 3200x1800 dpi resolution lap top (Samsung Ultrabook 9 series), when I want to play videos on a webpage, the playback control bar (runs across the bottom of a given video for settings like play, pause, sound level, etc.) is too small to see. I tried scaling using various methods, Windows 8.1 OS, Firefox ad-ons like No squint with no success. Of course, these tools work to rescale everything else but the playback control bar. This is not a problem on IE as when you rescale, everything including the playback control bar
rescales. Thanks

You can set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to 1.0 or on Windows 8 to 1.25 and if necessary adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx starting from 1.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) to make icons show correctly.

Can Captivate 7's playback controls control Flash swf files?

Hi folks,
I have created a swf file using Adobe Flash and I have imported it as an animation slide in Captivate 7. I have turned on the playback controls to just have the play button and the progress bar. When I export the presentation, the playback controls do not work. The scrubber moves as the presentation is playing, but I can't pause the presentation. When I stop the scrubber or even move it left or right, it does not affect the presentation and it just keeps playing. Am I doing something wrong? I don't want to have to create a custom nav bar in Flash as it would just be easier to use Captivate's playback bar.

I don't think it can be expained quickly as it can be very complicated. But...
Select New Project/Widget in Flash and choose static widget. You need to be very adept in AS3 to actually get them to work.

How to add a custom multimedia playback control to add a time line of what is being played?

How to add a custom skin in multimedia playback control to add a time line of what is being played? As it is being played...
I need a time line so any part of the what is being played can be found by time, ie at 1 minute and 30 seconds in and continues for 45 seconds out of a 50 minute audo.

If you're talking about a playback controller within the rich media annotation (RMA) then you need to write your own widget in Flash or Flex, and then place the video and widget files using the multimedia "Add Flash" tool in Acrobat instead of the "Add Video" tool. Aside from a bunch of proprietary code to handle events, commenting and the API (which you can live without for basic play-pause-scrub applications), video RMAs are just an embedded SWF file containing an FLVPlayback component. The skin and the video file itself are added to the RMA as resource entries. You can build your own version and have it display whatever controls you want, provided you know how to write ActionScript!
If you're talking about a controller that's external to the RMA (e.g. a series of links or buttons elsewhere on the page) then in the past you would use FLV video files and the 'cue points' feature that's built into Acrobat - however Adobe removed the ability to create FLV files in the latest version of CC, so unless you have CS6 or earlier it's a non-starter. Instead you can manually set playback start points using the special "multimedia operations" link action in your PDF - though stopping playback at a defined point is very difficult without FLV cues. For that you're back to writing your own widget.

Looking for better playback controls

When I create FLV files for web streaming directly through
Adobe Flash, I
can take advantage of many choices of playback controls, my
favorite one
being the ArcticExternalAll. The downside: RIPing my slide
shows takes
hours.
The newest version of ProShow Producer has greatly improved
Flash export,
allowing me to create high-quality Flash files directly from
it in a
fraction of the time -- minutes instead of hours. Its
downside: Only a
use-it-or-not choice of one playback control, and it's a
lousy one.
I would like to learn more about these playback controls:
- Which file is responsible for designating the controls, the
SWF or the
FLV?
- Can the user swap one control for another?
- Can I take the external ArcticExternalAll.swf and somehow
patch the video
to include the control file?
Any input is appreciated...

I misspoke, then, or I was not specific enough. I take AVI
files and import
them into Flash and then publish them as FLVs. That is the
sum total of my
experience using Flash.
However, I am an advanced computer user and a quick study, so
if you were to
point me in the right direction, that is likely all I would
need...

How to change the size of control´s prompt?

No matter the size of data to be displayed in the view suface prompt, the controls have the same size.
Does anyone here know how to change the size of control in surface prompt?

HI,
In order to change the size of a radio button... one way you may consider is to Customise the Radio Button.
Place a Radio Button (RB) on the FP of a VI, Right-Click the RB > Advanced > Customise...
Click the Mode Button (most Left button) for Edit Mode
Right-click the radio button (the round image) now, you will see a list of actions i.e. Copy to clipboard, import picture ...You will see Four images under the 'Picture Item', those are the images that you will need to replace.
Prepare Four Images of the similar but larger expected size
*** Copy the 1st new image to clipboard. Back to the Picture Item and select 1st image. Then, select Import Picture (to replace the existing image)
Repeat *** for all four images.
Once done, change the mode back to original. Save the *.ctl
You are now ready to use the customised radio button!
Quick sample attached (sorry for the poor images created )
