  • Using a video file in Flex ?

    I've been trying to use one video file in my flex project but the problem here is that after giving the source location it's not showing anything except a black pane and the format of the video file is in .AVI.I'm using VideoDisplay class to show the video.
    Any help on this guys...

    Just check it with the .flv files. If it works fine for them
    then your code is fine and you have to search for your format or convert it in flv my any means.

  • Need to determine which project files uses a video file

    Short of going through each of my FCP project files one by one, is there any way to find out which of my project files uses a particular video file?
    Thanks,
    John Link

    As long as it has a name you can search for it.
    The problem is not to find a media file, it is to find all the project files that use a media file. Thanks, cometmace, for providing a solution to that problem, and welcome to the Apple Discussions.

  • Need Codec to view video files

    I have a hand full of short video clips (less than 10 min. each) but cannot play them using any software (including Quicktime) because I get the error stating I am missing the correct codec. Getting the info on the files shows that I am needing the "PowerVideo Pro, Integer" Codecs. Does anyone have any idea how I could get this? I can still open the files and hear the audio but no video will show, just a black space where the video should be.
    Thanks.

    What type of videos are you trying to view? Can you post the URL or link to the videos?
    Make sure you have the latest versions of the following installed on your computer:
    RealPlayer
    Flip4Mac
    VLC Media Player
    Perian (AVI and FLV support)
    Adobe Flash Player Software

  • How to use and publish large video files in presenter 7 ?

    I am creating video intensive e-learning contents in presenter 7 (updated to 7.05).
    I generally, use 2 or 3 flv files (up to 50 MB size) in my presentation.
    After I publish my presentation in a web site, users must wait too long for watching any single video.
    Is there any method to use large video files (flv or any format) in presenter 7 and users can watch videos without any delay?
    Best regards.

    The problem you're facing is that Adobe Presenter output video playback is primarily Progressive Download rather than Streaming.
    Options, for you, include:
    1) Figure out a streaming video solution
    2) Use Adobe Media Encoder to compress/squash your video into more manageable sizes before importing the video into Presenter. I have found a decent compromise is the Web Medium preset as its datarate of 600kbps is just about the most a DSL connection can handle.
    3) Split your videos (instead of 2-3 50MB files, you'd have 4-6 25MB files).

  • Import and Management of Video Files by Date Still Broken

    It really is very disappointing that after 3 versions, and 110 bug fixes, basic things like importing or managing a video file by date is still completely broken.
    Even more troubling, is that for someone who uses LR3 this is a very obvious problem, and should be very easy to fix.
    When you import a file on a wide range of cameras the date that is used for the video file as far as LR3 is concerned is the date you are importing it, not the date it was taken. This makes any management of the file, especially when managed next to pictures, very difficult.
    The problem, as far as I can tell, is that in Windows, a file has both a 'Date Created' and a 'Date Modified'. 'Date Created' is whenever the file was created on the PC. If you bought a new computer and transferred a bunch of files over on 30/12/2010, all of your files will have a 'Date Created' that is 30/12/2010 regardless of when the photos or videos were taken. Or if you take a video on September 1st and import it onto your computer September 15th, it will have a 'Date Created' of September 15th.
    'Date Modified' however lists the date that the file was last changed. For video files, that most likely was the date the video was shot.
    Every program I have ever used for video files has always organized them by Date Modified (when organizing them by date). For example, its the default in Windows 7 Explorer when showing video files, all the video files listed by the date you have taken them. Date Created really doesnt have any useful information.
    Its inexplicable to me why LR3 uses Date Created instead of Date Modified. It is a glaring error, that should be easily fixed. Microsoft can manage to do it right, as a byproduct in its OS, Im not sure why an imaging company in a $400 piece of specialist software cannot.
    And just in case this is overlooked as a minor problem, it certainly is not. It happens to the following cameras:
    D90 (first camera to shoot video)
    D3s (thought by many to be the best low light camera)
    D7000 (likely to be Nikon's most important DSLR)
    D3100 (likely to be Nikon's most purchased DSLR)
    Canon S95 (one of 2 most popular P+S for DSLR owners)
    Fuji 31fd (Ill never forget you!)
    And those are just the cameras I have on my desk, Im sure it happens to many others.
    Also, when importing these files by date, LR3 will import them into a folder 1 date later then the date that LR3 is using for the file. So, just to be clear, you could take a video on May 1st, import it into LR3 on May 2nd and LR3 would say it was taken May 2nd, and it would be placed in the folder for May 3rd.
    Im really not sure why something so basic has not been addressed in so long, and it makes any sort of managment of video files by date in LR3 useless.
    Very disappointing.

    I agree that the wrong file system date is being used. But I scanned all my Lightroom files (manually) tagged with 'video'. When the file contains suitable metadata with a capture time that is used. When that's missing, the (wrong) file system date is used.
    Interestingly I even found one camera where the dates were originally right (in 2009), then disappeared for a while (probably due to a firmware upgrade!) and then came back again. Summary of what I found:
    Very old (Philips) webcam / format AVI / no metadata visible / wrong date
    Canon Powershot A80 / format AVI / metadata visible / right date
    Nokia N73 cellphone / format MP4 / no metadata / wrong date
    Canon EOS 5D Mark II around 2009 / format MOV / metadata visible / right date
    Canon EOS 5D Mark II around 2010 / format MOV / no metadata / wrong date
    Canon EOS 5D Mark II around 2011 / format MOV / metadata visible / right date
    So my conclusion is that the camera makers are making a bit of a mess when they introduced video. Nikon introduced its video a year or so later than Canon. I don't know if "no metadata" means that there is none, or that Adobe just doesn't like the format. But given the pattern of the firmware updates with Canon, it looks like Canon and Adobe ultimately agreed on the format. But in any case Lightroom (I am using 3.4.1) has a bug w.r.t. its fallback scenario of reading file system dates.
    In my case, the dates changed when I copied all my data from one disk (old NAS) to a new one (new NAS). It is disconcerting that you get the copying date despite comparison tools declaring the files to be identical (Beyond Compare 3 also keeps an eye on date differences).
    Hope this helps, Peter

  • Embedded vs. External video file?

    Started playing around with a Flash tutorial on video and saw two options to use a video clip with an SWF file.
    I wanted some clarification:
    Embedding the file creates a huge SWF, while having the file external allows for a smaller SWF, right?
    But in order to use the external file, you must use AS to call functions, right?
    External file allows for update to the file (externally) without having to republish, right? duh.
    One thing I noticed about embedding, I can scrub on th Timeline and see frame-by-frame of the video file.
    But, can't do that when it is loaded externally - it shows a box with an 'x', and can't see video 'til I publish.
    Scrubbing frame-by-frame is ideal for me because I sync certain elements within the SWF file with the video file.
    When loaded externally, can't do that. (I guess a workaround would be to use the video file externally, but also embed it on a layer I can later delete, that way I have the frame-by-frame ability.
    Now, AS2 or AS3 for video playback? My tutorial is AS2, and was done in MX 2004, I am using CS4 - does that matter for AS?
    Thanks. Isn't this fun?

    Pretty much all of your conclusions are correct, except if you want to synchronize the video with the timeline, your best bet is to embed the file.  It's not likely that what you edit based on an embedded version that you later delete will remain synched as intended with a file being dynamically loaded/played in its place.

  • Can Premiere Elements NOT re-encode a video file

    I want to take 200 HD camcorder files and put them on a Blu-ray disc with a basic menu structure.
    I know Premiere Elements can do the menu structure.  My question: Is it able to use the video files without re-encoding them?  (The source files are 1280x720, H.264/AVC, 29.97fps.)  I can't test this using the trial version because it watermarks the video.
    If PE can't do it, am I overlooking some simple way of doing Blu-ray menus using the Creative Suite products?  I have used Premiere Pro and Encore to author BDs, but that involved setting up every element of the menu structure by hand.

  • Project Settings for Multiple Video Files?

    In PRE 8, I am attempting my first HD project. I have several different types of video files that friends sent me from a sports event, the video files are AVCHD (1920?), QT Movie (1280x720), and QT Movie (1920x1088). When I create a new project, what PROJECT SETTINGS should I select? I am not sure what to select since I am using different video file formats. The video files are currently on my hard drive.
    I also have lots of pix (jpg) from different cameras, some are as large as 5184x3456. For the picture files, should I bulk process them through PSE to resize them? If so, what should  the maximum size be for the HD project?
    Thank you in advance.
    Howard

    Hi Steve - in the list of NTSC project presets, there is not a "DSLR" selection; there is "AVCHD", "DV", "Hard Disk/Flash", and "HDV". Am I missing something?
    As you suggested, I used the "AVCHD 1920x1080" preset for the Vixia files. I imported one 9-second file in the project as a test and the video is choppy after rendering. I have a new HP computer with an I7-930 quad-core processor, 8GB RAM, and an ATI HD 5770 graphics card so I think there is enough cycles to process the video files. Any suggestions?
    Thank you very much for answering my questions on a Sunday.

  • Re user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? - I've followed instructions so far so good, until I get to "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. "  How do I do that?

    Re AppleMan 1958 excellent user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? -
    I've followed instructions with success until  "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. "  How do I do that?
    I installed MGEG Streamclip 193b8 and used their utility to install quicktimempeg2 and got a message stating it was successfully installed.  (I'm on latest Maverick 10.9.2 on iMac)  Then I dragged the VIDEO_TS file from my home DVD into the streamclip app.  It asked which of 4 files to use, and I selected the first one.  Streamclip played the video with the sound.  so far so good. but now I cannot figure how to use quicktime player 10.3 to export this vob file out of streamclip.

    Thank you for your quick reply and for clearing up my confusion.  I'm exporting the first section now.  I choose the smallest size, 3x4 but I'd prefer to go higher as this DVD was originally a VHS home movie.  I'm wondering if after three conversions (VHS,->DVD->MPEG) the resolution will be so poor as to not support a larger size frame?  If it can, what size should I select when I export? 

  • How do I copy a home made HD video file (MP4 codec) of 10 GB from an external hard disk to my Mac Book Pro? Thanks

    How do I copy a home made HD video file (MP4 codec) of >10 GB from an external hard disk to my Mac Book Pro? Thanks

    I will never know if the problem was one of transfer or format compatibility.  The movie would not copy from one external hard diask to another, both attached to my MAC. But when the movie (which was in mpg by the way) was downloaded directly (without any other intermediary) into my external disk from the computer (a PC) where the movie was originated, the file did copy. And when I attached that external hard disk to my MAC, i could see it  using the MPEC streamclip app.
    Thank you anyway!

  • Mp4 converted video file is missing audio codec

    I have several avi. files on my computer which were converted to mp4. using videora software. A few of these converted mp4. files then had no audio when I tried to play them on my Ipod. I am confused as to how to add the audio codec back into the video files. Do I have to install this to avi. then convert to mp4., or is there some audio codec which will apply directly to mp4. so they do not have to be reconverted? What is the procedure at this point? Thanks for your help in advance.

    First thing to do is find out if Videora supports whatever audio codec the AVI uses.
    If it supposedly does, write it off as one of the many bugs with videora and get a different transcoder that supports the audio codec.
    Outside of having good knowledge of video production and the right tools-there is no easy way to do what you want.

  • Codec of video file?

    How do I find out which codec is used by a video file? I did not create the file, and while I can view it in Premiere Pro, it does not play in WMP, Quicktime, etc. When I import the video into Premiere or Encoder, how do I inspect the video file details, especially which codec it requires?

    Thank you, Mark! Just what I needed to know... I actually looked for a metadata tag like this in the Project panel, but I have CC 7.2.2 (my organization has not yet upgraded--I need to bug my folks about that) so didn't find it.
    The MediaInfo application does give me just what I need, and I like the right-click menu option and button to go to the codec website. Awesome.
