Create a flv Placeholder?

When I insert the flv video, it sticks in the top left corner of the page and won't move.
The lesson in the DW CIAB inserted both swf and flv files but there were "placeholders" already there. How do I add a flv placeholder?
Thanks
Frank

Kenneth,
Thank you for your help. I am just a cut and paste guy and have not used tables either.
Why is this complicated? With Camtasia flv files, I could just paste them in Powerpoint files. With DW jpg files, the property inspector lets me specify the XY position of the picture. Why are DW flv cpabilities difficult?
Is there a chunk of html code I could cut and paste?
I am trying to learn css and tables through DW Classroom in a Book.
UPDATE: I checked my site this morning and suddenly the video is in the right place!

How to create custom content placeholder in sharepoint 2013

Hi, I would like to create custom content placeholder don't know how to and add to my custom master page in sharepoint 2013. I have no luck searching on how to create custom content placeholder, any help?
Thanks,
Johnweb

Hi,
If you’re not fixed your requirement with the Out of the box SharePoint place holders, you can create as many as you want as long as the ID doesn’t conflict. On the master page add the content place holder
<asp:ContentPlaceHolderid="CustomName" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder> and add this to your page layout
<asp:Contentrunat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="CustomName"></asp:Content>.
I suggest you provide your basic requirement for further research.
If you want to customize a master page, the Rajendra's method would be helpful.

Hi!
I am trying to create a video player that will allow full
screen functions
like what we can see on youtube. I know how to create the
window and the pop
up but the only problem I am having is having the original
video in the
small screen to pause or go silent when the full screen mode
is activated.
How can get it done?
Thank you.

How do I create a .flv in FCE4? If can't what is the best settings to render the video to re-format in "Format Factory" on a Dell?

How do I create a .flv in FCE4? If I can't without additional software, what would be the best settings to create the file and flash drive it over to a Dell (-I know...) and re-format to a .flv in "Format Factory?"

PS, it for 30 sec to 1-min videos (PSA's)

How to create a .flv with only audio?

So what I'm looking to do is have sound play on my landing
page...the problem is, I used .fla file and it won't play until the
entire thing is loaded. I know how to get progressive play with a
flash video file, but I don't know the best way the convert an mp3
file in to video...
What I'm looking to do is simply have sound start playing as
soon as they land on the page, I don't want them to have to wait
for the whole thing to finish loading first...anyone who knows the
simplest way to accomplish this?
Sorry if it's a simple question, I was going to shell out
some money for 'flash for dummies' or something similar, but since
I generally don't work with flash and just want to do this one
thing I'd thought I'd check on here first ;)
Thanks

To do what you want, my approach is to create a small (160 X
120) movie
consisting of a single black frame in AfterEffects or
QuickTime Pro and add
the MP3 file as a sound track. With the movie completed,
import it into the
Flash Video Encoder to create the FLV. Then, in Flash, play
the movie using
the FLVPlayback component. The player can even be placed off
the stage so
that the black frame is never seen. Set the ContentPath of
the player to an
external file, the one you created earlier.
Since the file had only a single black frame, the video track
will
contribute very little to the size of the FLV; it will be
mostly audio.

How do I create an FLV Preloader?

Hello everyone,
I am an Action Script illiterate or... let's put it this way, I am currently learning it.
I have created a video in After Effects that I exported to an FLV movie. I would like to use it as an intro for my website but I would like to have a preloader for it... I don't need anything complicated, a 'youtube style' little circle thing would be totally fine.
Now I tried an Action-Script-two-frame preloader. It works but when my video finally plays, the sound is not synchronized with the images; which is kind of annoying as I used visual effects that need to be synchronized with the music and sound effects.
Would anyone would have some simple AS that I could use for that.
Thank you,
Eric

Hello,
Thank you for answering my topic.
The FLV plays correctly in the FLV player. I created a preloader with some AS3 I found browsing the web and put it in a scene. Then in a second scene, I imported my FLV.
When I publish the whole thing to a webpage, the audio and visual go out of sync.

Problem creating Flash video placeholder

I'm using this code to load a swf with an flv video file. The Flash movie also has a jpg placeholder that loads before the user clicks the video start button on the control panel. When the user clicks the start button, the placeholder overlay is tweened out of the picture and the video plays. This is what the code is upposed to do but it isn't loading the video. Can anyone tell me why this isn't working or what I can do to make it work? This is meant to have an image rather than a black box before the user starts a video on a web page. Thanks. Here's the code:
import fl.video.*;
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
movie1.autoPlay=false;
movie1.source="sandywoods_resident_export.flv";
movie1.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, isPlaying);
function isPlaying(e:VideoEvent): void
{ TweenLite.to(poster, 4,{alpha:0} ); }

import fl.video.*;
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
movie1.autoPlay=false;
movie1.source="sandywoods_resident_export.flv";
movie1.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, isPlaying);
function isPlaying(e:VideoEvent): void
{ TweenLite.to(poster, 4,{alpha:0} onComplete:hidePoster); }
function hidePoster(){
poster.visible=false;
or use the normal class Tween, Tween Lite is efficient and compact, but sometimes does strange things

Help in creating a flv video start frame

Hi - I have a video player with autoplay=false. I'd like to
enhance it by inserting a start frame or screenshot to replace the
current black screen that comes up before the play button is
clicked. I thought it would be easy, but haven't made any progress.
Thanks.

In my new Flash Video from Adobe Press, I include examples of
creating a poster frame for the FLVPlayback component, where a
separate JPEG is downloaded and layered on top of the FLVPlayback
component. Here's a link to the demo file:
http://www.flashsupport.com/books/fvst/files/ch06/flvplayback_fp9_actionscript_preview.htm l
In the last chapter, I also show how to create a more
elaborate poster frame, which is actually another SWF file that
communicates with the FLVPlayback component:
http://www.flashsupport.com/books/fvst/files/ch12/ReliableVideo_AS3.html
HTH.

Create (Make) image Placeholder?

I know you can make an image a place holder in other apps like Pages, etc. Can you do so in iWeb? I can't seem to find anything about it.
Thanks!

I can do that in iWeb to but from a different page. I guess iWeb doesn't have that feature "make image a placeholder" (yet).
The need or the feature comes when you have a picture perfectly placed, sized, and masked where you want it. I'd be nice to be able to just make that image the place holder rather than having to erase the old one, and then drop, mask, and size the new ones until you find the picture that works perfectly.
It really isn't a big deal with all the greatness and efficiency that iWeb offers! It is just such a great feature in pages and other apps it'd be great to implement it in iWeb too!
Regardless, iWeb is AWESOME!!!!!

How to create an invisible placeholder in a text box

I have an .indd file which needs to be converted to jpgs for placement in Ibooks Author. Before I convert I have to delete some text on certain pages. The text I'm deleting was originally for hyperlinks but since I need to add the font in IBooks Author over the image I need to retain the space where the original text was so when the image is exported the area where the text was would now be blank which would allow me to add the hyperlink using HTML in Ibooks author in the same area the text used to be, follow? As I try to use the space bar the text still shifts into a different position. I'm sure there is a correct way to do this.
Any help?

Latest advice on creating .flv advice from Final Cut Express?

IN our newsroom, we have a recently purchased MacBook Pro running Final Cut Express 4.0.1 for the creation of videos for our website - problem is the the website can only take .flv files and they can be no larger than about 20 MBs. I have looked at most of the posts in this forum on creating .flv files, but I wondered what the llatest, best advice for doing this is? I know that:
1/ I can export a .mov file and just change the extension to .flv, but that creates a file as large as the original .mov file - too large for the website.
2/ The powers-that-be did not include Adobe Flash on this computer so I am supposing I cannot use Adobe Flash Encoder as a standalone app.
3/ DV Kitchen looks like it might work, but it is $79 and has a lot of bells and whistles we don't need. Plus, the beancounters will have to approve the purchase.
4/ What other cheaper options can create an .flv file from a FCE .mov file that would squeeze it down to about 20 MB?
Thanks, Douglas

If you dont have Flash the only worthwhile converter for flv is Sorenson Squeeze:

Creating FLVs from Final Cut Pro

I am trying to create an FLV from Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 on an
Intel Mac. I have intalled the exporter plugin but it does not show
up as an export option in FCP. Does anyone know why this is
happening? Do they not yet have an FLV exporter for FInal Cut Pro
5?
I am stumped any help would be greatly appreciated.

The only way I could make it work was to open FCP using
Rosetta. This opens the program as if it were running on an older
(non Intel) MAC. The plugin should then show up where it is
supposed to. I guess they haven't come up with an Intel MAC plugin
yet.
To open as a Rossetta program control click on the FCP icon
and click on Get Info. Then click on the Open using Rosetta
box.

Create flv - dynamically

Is there a method, a function or a way to have flash (or something else) create a .flv - dynamically??
I have a dynamically generated slideshow.
When call slideshow.php?=123 - one slideshow appears
When call slideshow.php?=456 - another slideshow appears
I want to accomplish a video file - for each dynamically generated tour
Is that possible???
Thank you for your time and attention
I appreciate your input

No response in 4 weeks
Does this indicate it is NOT possible?
or that I need to contract overseas??

Why is my flash content not working on my dreamweaver created html site?

This is a problem that's happening on my website I'm creating. I created a quick test website to show you the problem on the fourm. It's the same problem, and if you can provide the solution to this test website I can apply it to my main website.
Test website on server:
test331754952.net23.net
What I did:
-launched flash
-typed "test" and made it spin 360 degrees
-published swf
-launched dreamweaver
-created a site
-moved swf to site folder
-saved a html file to the site folder
-in dreamweaver, went to insert, media, swf, then selected the swf I made
-it inserted the swf, creating a gray placeholder for it
-re-saved the html document, at which point dreamweaver created a folder named script and 2 files, an swf, and a javascript file
Site Directory:
Scripts Sub-Directory:
What happens:
-when I launch the swf on my machine, it plays fine
-when I open the swf directly on the test website on the server, it plays fine
-when I open the html with the embended swf on the test website on the server, it shows a gray box, then goes white
-In dreamweaver, when I go to preview in browser and choose internet explorer, it tells me I don't have new flashplayer(I do: flashplayer 11)
Ie also pokes up a box at the bottom that says its not allowing content. When I click allow content, it creates a gray box
-In dreamweaver, when I go to preview in borwser and choose google chrome, it tells me flash player has stopped a potentionally unsafe operation. When I close this dialog box, it gives me a gray box where my swf should be embeded.
-I've tried changing global flash secuirty setting and it does nothing
-I've tried visiting the test website on multiple computers in my household to no avail
-I've tried having friends visit the site on their computer at their house to no avail
-I did't touch the code on this test website-the code is exactly what dreamweaver generated

Can someone please help! I've looked and tried prety much everything. If you can provide a solution I would GREATLY apreciate it!

There is no Flash player version 15... as in your code:
<param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
For some reason Adobe thought it would be a good idea to target a Flash player version (15) as default.....which may be out a couple years in the future. Go figure!!!
If you don't like player version 9, change to 10 or 11.... just not 15 (yet).
Best wishes,

Create a Flash-DVD with videos on a streaming server

Hello
As I am new to this forum, I hope I found the best place for my question. I have rented a few GB's on a streaming server, becouse I plan to open a little website with dancing videos on it. I have Adobe premiere pro cs4 to cut my video and encore to build a dvd. Since the dvd menu is quite practical I would like to use encore to place exactly the same project on my servers. This is how far as i got: I changed the script file so that my flash files got uploaded to my streaming server. I loaded the index.html, flashdvd.swf and AuthoredContent.xml onto my webserver, but nothing works..... I know that my streamingserver uses Wowza software... could this be the problem? Do I need a Adobe Streaming Server???
If you want to check the files, please don't hesitate to see www.dance-tv.ch/swidako'09/index.html This is the "progressive download" version of the project, but it seems to have the same problem as the one on the streaming server.
Can anyone help please?
Thank you
Oliver

A PNG sequence can be used if you will go through the Flash authoring app itself to add interactivity, for example. If not, or in either case, you can create a FLV (Flash video) file with alpha. This can be used directly with the Flash player on the web.
Just pull the key with Keylight, and when it's done, Add the Comp to the Render Queue, set the Output Module's channels to RGB+Alpha and then pick Flash Video (FLV) as format, with one of the Flash 8 presets. The preset will instruct you in the comment field to adjust the stretch settings in the Output Module to the size specified by the preset.
For more information, see Render and export a Composition as an FLV or F4V file in After Effects Help.
