Creating MP4 Videos from Images - Resolution Issue

Currently I am using the Media Foundation SDK to convert Images to a H.264 video using the following example from Microsoft.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ff819477(v=vs.85).aspx
I have encountered an Issue when adjusting the MF_MT_FRAME_SIZE of the media type object used for input, it would seem that if the resolution is higher then monitor the computer is connected to the call to SetInputMediaType for the IMFSinkWriter object
returns an HRESULT error code 0xc00d36b4. The only differences in my code from the example is the following constants defined at the top.
const UINT32 VIDEO_WIDTH = 2048;
const UINT32 VIDEO_HEIGHT = 1088;
const GUID VIDEO_ENCODING_FORMAT = MFVideoFormat_H264;
Any help in the matter would be appreciated.

How to render a video from image sequence with custom frame rate?

Dear all,
For a project i would like to create a video from 47 images with a custom frame rate. To achieve this i take the following steps in Photoshop CS6 extended:
1) File -> Open...
2) Select the first image and select " image sequence ". All images have the same size (1280 x 1261 px) and are numbered correctly.
3) Click open
4) Frame Rate: Custom 3 fps
5) File -> Export -> Render Video... -> Render
6) Play the video with VLC. The video shows a still image of the first image.
If i choose a frame rate of 10 fps, then there is no problem. VLC plays the video as expected.
Is there a other way to create a video from 47 images and choose a custom frame rate? Or what am i doing wrong?

Seen this SO thread?

Creating training videos from screen captures?

Hello folks,
Is it possible to create interactive videos from a series of screen captures. I understand the preferred method is to use Captivate to record a session, however, all my software walk throughs are created in a VM and installing Captivate inside a VM is not always practical.
In the past, when I worked with RWD uPerform, I captured static screens using a really good/free tool called Gadwin screen capture. Once completed, I could add these screens into RWD, select clickable areas and RWD would do the rest by simulating clicks, motions, etc.
Is this possible in Captivate?
Thus far, my experience with Captivate involved doing direct recordings, in a manner similar to Camtasia.
Thank you.

Hi there
If you are seeking a smaller footprint (read mobile or possibly portable) version of Captivate, please request same using the Wish Form. Adobe development does pay attention to these. If enough folks request something or report a certain issue, it gains a higher priority on the list of features or fixes.
Cheers... Rick

How to transfer a mp4 video from my laptop (windows) to my iPad2?

How to transfer a mp4 video from my laptop (windows) to my iPad2?

As with transferring any other video that is in an iPad compatible format - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.

Cannot synch mp4 videos from itunes to iPad with current verion of iOS 6

mp4 videos will not transfer from itunes to ipad 3 with the latest iOS6.

UPDATE: I backed up my phone, wiped it (Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings), & then restored it through iTunes. For whatever reason, that seems to have fixed the problem. Movies now sync to my phone like they used to.
That process seems to have corrected 1 or 2 other minor issues, including one where iTunes was 'syncing artwork' for a long time on every sync.

How can I create a negative from image in iPhoto

How do I transfer MP4 videos from Macbook to iPad2

(I am very frustrated at this point, so please forgive me if my wording sounds like I am pulling out my hair.)
I want to put some MP4 videos on the iPad2. They are currently on my Macbook Pro.
I have attached the iPad2 to the Macbook, and iTunes opened up. It started syncing the iPad to the Macbook. I told it to stop. It looks like a bunch of stuff on my iPad may or may not be on the Macbook now, but I'm afraid to delete it from the Macbook out of fear that it will delete them from the iPad as well.
But I just want to put the MP4 video files on the iPad, so that I can run them from the Movies app. I believe I can only do this in iTunes, but it looks like easily transferring files from the laptop to another device seems to be a thing of the past.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can't seem to stream mp4 video from Mac to PC

I've created some video using Handbrake on my macbook pro. I added it to my iTunes on my mac, and confirmed that it plays just fine on the mac, and also on my Apple TV2. However, when I try to play the same video on my PC, it doesn't work. It just sits and stalls iTunes.
However, when I attempt to stream a PURCHASED video (from the iTunes store), from the same mac, to the same PC, it works just fine.
I've found some reference to the problem on other forums, but, the solutions seem to not be working for me. I've tried lostify to fix the atomic parsley info (which people say is the root cause of the problem), but, no joy.
So, does anyone know how to fix video streaming via. home sharing from a mac to a pc?
Both are using iTunes10.0.1.

This is a very good question. I am about to buy an AppleTV2. I also use Handbrake to copy my dvds and want to stream them to my AppleTV. Before I buy one I'd like to see what you find out. Have you tried doing an m4v format?
Let me know what you find. Thanks

How to play MP4 videos from library assets, not external source

I can play MP4 video files all day long, as long as they are from an external source. How can I target via linkage MP4 video files in the library? I'm building a Kiosk application and can't have any external assets--only assets from the library. Please only post comments or solutions based on using the video object, not the Playback component. Thanks

have been trying this too , the manual says FAT32 files, just my two cents for ya

How can I use iMovie on my ipad mini to create a video from still shots using a green screen?

In my physics class, I am doing a project where we are taking pictures to create a movie, and we are usign a green screen. I know that iMovie on the mac devices is able to transfer photos and videos from a green screen so that you are able to insert backgrounds where the green screen is. Is there any way to be able to change the settings on the iPad mini to be able to do the same things with a green screen and backgrounds?

Also, I tried changing my primary email on Fb to what it was years ago, etc and I still wasn't able to delete the account.

Coverting video from images without using JMF.

Dear All,
I want to convert video from sequence of images.
I have used JMF sample for doing the same.It works pretty fine.
But I want to do same without using JMF.
Do anyone here used another libraries like FFMPEG for Java or Theora to achieve same.
If you have any idea about it, please reply.
Yours Sincerely,
Ashish Nijai

I've done this in the past by calling out to ffmpeg as an external application. There's nothing Java specific in that other than the act of calling an external binary - for which the ProcessBuilder API should be your starting point. If you have questions about ProcessBuilder start a new thread in "Java Programming" or "New To Java" but remember to google first - it's a common topic.
A bit of Googling suggests that there might be some JNI wrappers for ffmpeg too.
Note that on the project where I used ffmpeg we eventually went over to running it in batches from a cron script with no Java components at all.

Cant stream mp4 videos from websites any more.

I bought my Iphone 3Gs last week friday and have loved it every day since, but recently I went on my fav MP4 video streaming site and every time I click a video it takes a few seconds then instead of the video its a page full of crazy txt
This was working perfectly a few days ago and cant get it working at all now, the website in question is <edited by host> the mobile version god that sounds so seedy but every man has his needs lol I need my Fix!!!
I cant even go on youtube mobile and watch a video it just doesnt show anything but blank white screen where the video should be, but the youtube app works perfectly
and also when I plug my iphone into Itunes occasionally it wants me to restore the iphone then I unplug and stick it back in and it works perfectly
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? tempted to restore my iphone because its annoying me that much
p.s My friend who has an Ipod Touch 1st Gen is able to go on the sites and the videos work for him instantly so its not a flash problem the videos are in mp4 format just incase anyone starts talking about Iphone's not having flash

<Edited by Host>- can see the links for the video click it and get a page of crazy txt, went to the apple shop fat help they was but test pornhub on an ipod touch, 2 * Iphone 3g and Iphone 3Gs it worked on everyone except for one of the Iphone 3G's it did the same as mine screen full of crazy txt
and You tube website
(not that app) Every time I click a video link it normal use to let me play the video and it would load up on quicktime and would watch it, and now there is just a blank white screen, just seams like the quicktime isnt working as it should with safari

MP4 Video from Flip Ultra having Audio Sync Issues

All of sudden I've started having audio sync issues with the mp4 footage exported from the The Flip Ultra camera. Ive tryed the mp4 footage in both windows 7 and Mac OS X and i'm having the same audio issue but when I watch in the flip software or in iMovie no issues. Any know why this has just started happening?

Importing graphics from photoshop resolution issues

Hi,
I'm new at final cut but I'm having an issue with a graphic that I imported from photoshop.
The image is 300 dpi : 2896 pixels by 2175 pixels. I saved it as a targa file
with an alpha channel to mask the graphic. The image looks horrible
"quality wise" in my final cut project. Why is this?
Is there something I have to know as far as sequence settings?
The big issue here is that before I realized the image quality was that bad
I have already done a lot of work. Is there a setting that I can fix
or do I have to re-import my graphics a different way and re-do all my work?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Please be as specific as you can and bear with me
since I am new to video editing terminology.
Thanks in advance for any help....
-Peter

make sure you don't get confused about the image size here. if you targa file is being used on the canvas where it's edges go beyond the main viewable area, then you DO want it big. I find bigger the better. Photoshop does a better job of sizing stuff to the correct size if you only use it at that size, but it your image is being zoomed in on, then keep it as a big file. targa / .tga files work fine by the way.
I do a lot of animations that i chop together in FCP and its still images manipulated in FCP that are the weak link. It seams that regardless of setting field dominance or exporting as interlaced etc, it will still look ropey on computer. it will look beautiful on TV, but even on LCD tv's it don't look too hot. I think it's all been tailored to DV and interlaced stuff and doesn't seem to capable of being used simply as an 'editor' it's all aimed at importing from camera etc, which is fair enough given who it's aimed at. But i've moved on to After effects which does the job much better, all beit more slowly, more complicated, and generally far less 'apple' which is a pain.
if anyone works out whats going on and if it is fixable i'd love to come back to the FCP party though!
