Correct size for swf/FLV video files in Presenter 7?

HI,
I'm trying to use Presenter with some screen capture and
other video an I cant seem to get the video to show up at the
correct size. If the video is scaled for screen capture it looks
really bad. I can build new resources or export to any type or
video/swf or FLV but I don't seem to be able to control how to get
this to work once in comes into presenter. Real video is OK as that
scales well.

Personally, I record in Camtasia at 800x600, then have it
resize to 640x480. When I import that file into PowerPoint, it has
a huge white border around it, and I have to resize the video until
there's no white border left.
It's still quite large on the screen, and the fact that
PowerPoint / Presenter seem to resample/rescale the video seems to
lower the quality some, which is why I often use heavy zoom effects
within Camtasia.
I've tried using Captivate for creating the videos, but
honestly, it's faster and provides a better end result if I'm using
Camtasia. What software are you using?

  • Please help my flv video file works perfectly localy...but its not visible in remote ftp why??

    hi All,
    Please help me. my flv video file works perfectly localy in
    my computer...but its not visible when i uploaded the flv html and
    flash files to ftp?
    thanks in advance

    This suggestion worked to see the hidden folder(s). Thanks very much, but I feel like I am miles away from moving my ipod music to my new computer and getting it all to work. Here is why...
    1. First when I plug the ipod in, in disk mode, to the USB slot it shows up as a K drive for a minute or so and then disappears. itunes keeps opening, asking me to sync (which will erase all my music on the ipod!) and the K drive (ipod) vanishes.
    2. I pod help says to drag the itunes file out to the desktop and then drag the itunes file on the ipod into the "my music" file within documents and settings. However, there is an "ipod control" file (was hidden) and within this there is the following: artwork, itunes (with 13 subfolders of its own), device, and music. So do I just drag the itunes file inside ipod control into My music? Or do I drag the whole ipod control file? or other?
    3. Additionally there are K drive (ipod) files for calendar, photos, contacts, notes, and ipod control (was hidden). I don't care about any content in the first four, but are they needed to operate? Do I drag these over also to the My music file?
    Whew, very frustrating. Thanks, Ric

  • How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

    How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
    Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
    As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
    With regard to font size,
    1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
    2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
    3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
    4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
    5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
    Can any of you Help?!?

    Maybe this extension helps:

    I completely understand.
    For print work, I did a lot of that with either Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy in Photoshop. Then, they added Layer Comps, and that cut down on the work, but allowed me to have several "treatments."
    Have not used that in PrPro though. I see the usefulness of the feature though.
    Yeah, clients are fond of saying, "really appreciate you following all of my ideas, but I think I like what you had last week better... Can we go with it, but with these few extra changes?" Happens all too frequently. Lot easier now, than back in the old days, when one painted the cyc, set up the shot, and lit it, only to have the AD change the color of the cyc. When done, they'd often say, "liked that original color better. Let's tear it all down and re-paint to that." Now, I just change the color of the background digitally - a lot less painting!!!"
    Thanks for that tip,

  • Recommended size for .SWF on website???

    Hi there,
    I'm producing an interactive video piece for my New Media masters project.  I've put it up on my website, and was wondering out of curiousity, whats the recommended upper limit for the size of a .SWF file on the internet to run smoothly? I realise CPU and internet speeds vary greatly from machine to machine along with RAM, but is there a general upper limit which shouldn't be exceeded for .SWFs?
    My project's .SWF is currently at 260kb.  It also pulls in .FLVs that are between 800kb - 1.5mb and .mp3s between 1.5mb - 2mb via XML.
    The latest prototype of my project is at www.keithwoods.co.uk if anyone's interested and would like to leave me some feedback on this post on how smoothly it ran on your particular machine and any other comments welcome.
    Cheers!

    Thanks for that Ned,
    I had a feeling I was going about it the right way but just wanted to check.
    I remember hearing something about the 10 second rule for a webpage to load, and if it was any longer than visitors would get impatient (goes to show what TV's done to our attention spans!)
    I don't know if I've made this one up but is it recommended that webpages shouldn't really exceed 1mb if you want it to load quickly, or is that not as important now broadband is becoming more prevalent?

  • Premiere sees .flv video file as only audio

    Hi, I'm on Premiere Pro CS 4.2.1.
    When I import this particular flv file into Premiere, it sees it as an audio file, rather than a video file. I assume I am missing a codec, or perhaps it was encoded with something that doesn't work with Premiere. However, I can open and play the file properly using Adobe Media Player, so the file itself is not broken.
    Here's what MediaInfo reveals about the file. Anything obvious here that would be causing the problem?

    Ed,
    There can be one of several CODEC's inside of the FLV wrapper. Your PrPro CS 4.2.1 should natively handle some, though possibly not all. You might want to look at Moyea, as they offer several FLV editing/conversion solutions. Note: through PrPro CS 3, Moyea had a great plug-in, Premiere FLV Importer. Things changed with CS 4, and that plug-in no longer worked, but by about the second, or maybe the third update to CS 4, native support for some FLV CODEC's was incorporated into the program - but there are probably some missing from that native support. Still, Moyea might have just what you need. I have also used a freeware program, FLV to AVI, but did not need that, when I discovered the Premiere FLV Importer plug-in, up through PrPro CS 3.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Is it possible to reduce/edit the size of the imported video file?

    Hello,
    I noticed the other day that I am nearing half full on my terabyte hard drive. In reflecting on what is on that drive, it occurred to me that there's a lot of footage that was ultimately never used.
    I was wondering whether there is a way to reduce the size of those files after they've been transferred from the camera? It's not that I want to delete the entire file, rather just get rid of some of the footage that was never used, or after closer examination (sound, movement, etc.) will never be used.
    - note* I know this should be done in advance, prior to logging and capturing, but sometimes that bad footage slips through.
    Thanks.
    DG

    RT is correct.
    For some details, see this:

  • Flash SWF with Video file will not play in web page

    Hello Flash group,
    I have created a flash video file from a *.wmv file.
    myvideo.flv.
    I have used flash to build an swf file that plays the video
    (with a default skin).
    I have then imported the media file into an html page using
    Dreamweaver. I did not import the flv file, but the swf file with
    the "video" in it.
    The page plays find on my development server (where
    Flash,Dreamweaver, etc is installed).
    When I moved the html page, the flv file, the swf file and
    the skin to my production webserver (linux and apache)
    the flash files do not show up on the web page. The dev
    server is a windows XP running apache 2.2)
    Any ideas on what I need to do???
    thanks,
    eholz1

    It may cause by any of the reason below:
    - You have uploaded the flv file to the wrong directory
    - Your flv file path/name is incorrect. check all case
    sensitive etc.
    - Your web server doesn't support FLV MIME type.

  • Setting paper size for multi-tab numbers file?

    i have a (currently) 3 tab spreadsheet that someone is working with me on. two of the tabs i print to 12 x 18 and one of the tabs i print to 8 x11.
    right now i have to open inspector, set paper size to 8 x 11, go to print view and slider-scale to appropriate size so it will print to single width, open print dialog, select 8 x 11 printer, print the pages from this tab. then i go back to inspector, select 12 x 18, select next tab, go to print view and slider-scale to appropriate size so it will print to single width, open print dialog, select 12 x 18 printer, print the pages. then i select the next tab, go to print view and slider-scale to appropriate size so it will print to single width, and run a print to 12 x 18 paper.
    this gets me all three documents if i didn't make a mistake somewhere and forget to select the correct printer or open inspector or whatever.
    can someone tell me whether in numbers i can set a PAGE SIZE for a TAB (as i have done above) and have it stick or does the selection of a page size in numbers apply to the whole document? i keep sending this to my bookkeeper and getting it back and this is a whole lot of aggravation that is really messing up my workflow and there seems like i should be able to find a way to streamline this.
    note: i am actually /receiving/ xls from my bookkeeper (and exporting to xls when i send it to her) and we also need to keep the tabs together b/c one tab is pulling info from the others but i am wondering if there could be some kind of workaround.
    i'd like to ask her to just print the pages to pdf before she sends it to me but this is an added layer of work on her end that is not going to happen. also, i /can/ open in excel (i have excel for the mac) so if this works easier by printing from excel i will do that.
    any experience with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    THANKS

    hi Y. BIG time thank you for this. i was not aware this was such an issue. i definitely cannot have any ambiguities in my spreadsheet and customizing it in numbers is the whole reason i am spending this time formatting (i.e. to make it intuitive and visual).
    that said, if accepting excel and then exporting to excel will cause problems i absolutely cannot have this.
    can you help me a little more on what the problems are? i have already got a file with two tabs directly imported from Quickbooks (by my book keeper in excel) and a tab that she set up that pulls data from these tabs - and then i have MY tab that i have been customizing and proofing and fixing as i go along. more info on this work below.
    are there commands i can run to clean this up?
    what is considered OK to do in numbers if i am accepting excel (printing? adding new numerical entries)?
    THANK YOU
    background: right now i am /mostly/ doing formatting things like adding bold outlines or adding color or whatever but i have /also/ been dragging and dropping some rows to put them in a better place and fixing some cell sums that were either left out by my book keeper or which needed to be added to check THEIR work. are you saying that by doing this i am setting myself up for various formatting issues such as merged cells?
    if so, once i finish the format of the spreadsheet and the tabs i can only exclusively open in numbers if this is necessary. are there some commands i can run to "clean up" issues? for instance can i go around the various tabs and unmerge cells to clean things up?
    also, i definitely cannot split up tabs into individual documents as the customized spreadsheets are pulling numbers from a set of tabs that are quickbooks imports....

  • APE 10: How to select a frame be the thumbnail for the exported video file?

    I have Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and using Windows 7. I create a title and place it as the first clip in the Sceneline. When I export the video and look at the file using Windows Explorer folder view, the thumbnail shown is a frame from another clip and not the clip containing the title. How can I get the title to be used as the thumbnail for exported video files?

    Hi Bill, thanks for your thoughts on this.
    The file created is indeed the one intended and in the correct folder. When I double-click on the file the video is played and the first thing I see is the title. So the video created has what I expect. Go figure.
    I'm starting to think that there might be a Windows setting that determines how Windows Explorer picks the frame to be used as the thumbnail for video files. I have not found any reference to it so far.
    Here is some new info...
    If I replace the first clip that has the title with another clip, then the thumbnail is created from that first clip. As soon as I add the title as the first clip, then the thumbnail is created from the second clip.
    OK ---- I just found information that states that the thumbnails are created by Windows and placed in a file that act as a cache for the thumbnails. This prevents Windows Explorer from generating the thumbnails each time the folder is viewed. In my computer (64-bit Win 7), the thumnail cache files are stored in folder "C:\Users\Ramon\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer". They have an extension of ".db". I found the information at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_thumbnail_cache

  • Size Limit of FLV Video?

  • Play button for public shared video files?

    I want to share a video file, mp4, with a client using Creative Cloud file sharing. The only option available for the client to see the file is to download it. Can it be viewed in the web browser directly, without downloading? For the moment, I only see a large frame of the file, as if it were a picture.

    Your understanding is correct. The functionality you describe is something which our engineering department is considering implementing in the future though.

  • Formatting external drive for storage/backup/video files

    Hi,
    I just purchased a 500mb My Book Pro external drive for use with my imac duo which runs Windows XP via bootcamp. This computer is shared by three family with very different skills and needs. My dilemma. I want to format the drive so that the imac can be backed up easily three users. It is formated Fat32 and is supplied with Restrospect Express 7.5 backup software. It would be nice to backup the modestly used windows sector, but that's a secondary consideration. My problem is that one user has a lot of larger than 4 gb video files which are too large the Fat 32 format. My notion is to segment the backup drive so that I leave 300 mb in fat 32 to facilitate backup with supplied software, and segment a second 200 gb drive using mac os extended so that the user can manually move her video files for storage/backup on the backup drive. Is there a simpler solution? For example, if I formatted the entire 500gb as mac os extended, could I still run the retrospect backup software? If not, is there a reasonably priced alternative software? And finally, with either Fat32 or Mac OS extended, can I move files from the Windows platform? Would I be better off just biting the bullet and telling my daughter to make her own arrangements to compress and backup her video files or get her own hard drive, thus leaving the backup drive to the simple factory supplied software solution?

    Hello,
    You're indeed in a pickle. If you use Bootcamp and want the HD accessible via the Mac and WinXP, then you don't want to format it as Mac HFS because WInXP wouldn't be able to access it. If you go FAT32 then both WInXP and Mac OS can access it, but you face the dilemma of the 4GB threshold.
    If you format as NTFS, then you eliminate the 4GB threshold but then Mac OS cannot access it.
    I have a similar dilemma, which is why i use Parallels more than Bootcamp. I have 2 external FW HD's (160GB/250GB), both formatted to Mac HFS. The 160GB i have partitioned as 50GB and 100GB. I have a bootable backup of Mac OS residing on the 100GB partition (yay to SuperDuper!) and some other stuff on the remaining 50GB. The 250GB is exclusive for movies (cough..cough..bittorrent) and for streaming via Orb 2.0 to my Treo. I have WinXP running in Parallels, and Vista Ultimate via Bootcamp. In Parallels, i can access my external HD's via Parallel's Shared Folders but in Vista (Bootcamp) since the HD's are in a non-Windows recognised formatting, they're not accessible (which is a bummer, as i'm loving Win media center).
    What you can do is partition the HD the way you're thinking and format (one part Mac HFS and the other NTFS), but my best recommendation is that with the falling prices of HD's nowadays, why not just get a seperate HD do what you want with it. I spied a WD MyBook 500GB USB HD at CompUSA for $129.99 (no mail-in rebate nonsense) and similar good prices at Bestbuy and Newegg.com.

  • What is the best program for splitting large video files (for archiving)?

    I have just finished a project and I want to back up everything to DVD-R discs, including all my capture files and completed movies exported from Final Cut. Some of the files are 5 or 6 Gb, too large for one DVD-R disc.
    I tried downloading a program called MacHacha, and did a test on one file, splitting it into 3 segments and then joining it back together with the same program. The resulting file should have been a duplicate of the original, but it was not. It was not even recognized by QuickTime Player as a .mov file.
    What program do you use for this purpose? What program is reliable for this and produces a joined file that is identical to the original?
    Thank you for your reply.

    Thank you for your help and suggestions. I tried a couple of experiments with a video file that has chapter markers. This was created in FCE using the "Export - QuickTime Movie" command.
    One experiment was to bring the file into a new, blank sequence in FCE. Then export it right back out as a QuickTime movie. The resulting movie appears to be identical to the original, except that there are no chapter markers any more.
    The second experiment was to make a duplicate of the original sequence which I used to make the movie in the first place. In this duplicate, I deleted everything except the chapter markers. I then brought in the video file into that sequence and exported it. The resulting file appears to be identical, and this one does have the chapter markers.
    The only problem with doing it that way is that I lose all my edits. What if I wanted to edit something or adjust one of my original edits? I can't go back to that stage, with all my original edits, if I don't have all the original source files.
    In addition, it's not clear to me exactly how I would use FCE as the "splitting program." How do you split a sequence into smaller parts?
    All I really want to do is take a "snapshot" of the entire project, including all the source files, capture scratch files, etc. I don't need to back up the render files because those can easily be re-rendered. The entire project is taking up about 72 Gb on my hard drive, and I want to offload the whole thing. Even if it takes me 20 DVD-R discs to do it, that's no problem. Someone must have come up with a program or solution to do this.
    Thanks!
