CS4 - Clip Notes Export - streaming option

Anybody wanna save me a little time experimenting and go into a little more detail than is available in the manual? There is of course the promise of 10 points in it for you.
If I choose file/export/adobe clip notes and in the clip notes tab also choose "stream" and then check FTP in the others tab with all of the pertinent info including remote directory and back in the clip notes panel use the ftp address for the url setting - here is where I'm starting to get confused. Does the url setting need to include the path to the remote directory? Do I have to upload an encoded version of my sequence manaully to that direcory or does Media encoder upload that automatically? I've watched a couple of video tuts and read the manual but have no actual experience at this and would love to start using this feature with a client I am working with now.
TIA

edit - nope didn't work. I know the manual mentions that the ftp server also needs to be a web server. iDisk is a web server. I tried also just pointing to the file - with out the sharing which is probably not necessary - providing of course I have the right url path - didn't work. Could be the path I'm typing. http://www.me.com/idisk/my user name/movies/the file name
The work around I'm going to employ in the meantime is to do the embed option and upload that larger sized file to the ftp manually. Then when they save it it will email the smaller .xfdf file back to me and I merely import it.
What is a bit odd is that Adobe didn't use flash as a method of encoding this clip notes file. The same size .flv for the particular file I'm using as a test looks much nicer than either the .wmv or the .mov  Adobe owns flash right?
Are you talking about the FTP upload function here? Because that HAS to be a proper FTP server in order for the FTP upload to work. In other words, if your website is http://www.mysite.com, you would need FTP access at ftp://ftp.mysite.com. Now, ClipNotes doesn't access fils through FTP, it access streaming files through HTTP, so wherever the file is hosted on the Internet, it needs to be accessible through the HTTP protocol. I'd imagine that your iDisk (is that the Mac thing?) would probably work for HOSTING the file, but you'd need to find an alternate means of uploading the encoded video to that host. There's probably some sort of web-based front-end for iDisk, instead of having FTP access as a typically web host would provide.
Long story short: you don't have to use the FTP upload built into AME in order to use Clip Notes. You DO have to set the URL for the uploaded video properly, but the video does not have to be uploaded by AME in order for Clip Notes to work. The file will be encoded and saved locally, to wherever you opt, and you can manually upload the encoded video later. This is how I imagine you'd have to use the iDisk hosting/space.
Does that make any sense?
I've often wondered why Adobe didn't opt for Flash in Clip Notes, and the only thing I can come up with is the Flash video container file doesn't provide for accurate enough seeking. Flash video tends to jump to specific keyframes, making navigation (and therefore, commenting via Clip Notes) a challenge or even impossible. I guess it's conceivable that they'll work something out in a later revision of Clip Notes, but that's merely wishful thinking.

  • Premiere cs4 will not export sequence

    I am not new to Premiere, but I am  new to the CS4 version. I have set up a simple serquence with a single  dissolve between clips. But i cannot export it to any format. I am on a PC using XP Professional.
    My Procedure: I  select the sequence created in Premiere; I go to File>export>Export Media; there is no "export" button available. I can hit OK which opens the  Adobe Media Encoder and shows the file statis "waiting". If I go ahead and encode, I get an error message. It says something about that it cannot find the files. I tried this in an earlier version on Premiere and it works fine-no error. Any ideas about  what I am overlooking to get this thing rendered as a Qicktime (or any  other format)? Thanks.

    In AME (Adobe Media Encoder), you need to load the Sequence into the Queue, set the Export attributes, and then start the Export. If that is what you have done, then it might be useful to have the full text of the error message, as something else might be conflicting.
    Good luck,

    I have just installed the CS4 Premier Pro and have a really strange problem.

  • Clip Notes in CS4/Acrobat 9: exports transcript, no controls for QuickTime

    When I use the Transcribe feature, then export my project to Clip Notes, it exports every transcribed word as a separate comment. There doesn't seem to be any way of suppressing that, and there doesn't seem to be a way of deleting a transcription either in PP or in Acrobat. The result is that the reviewer sees all these comments and has to fight with Acrobat to insert new comments. When I import the xfdf back into PP, I get the whole transcription loaded into markers along with the reviewer's comments. Unless I open every one, I can't tell what's what.
    Is there at least a way of deleting the transcription in PP or Acrobat?
    Also, if I export the video as QuickTime, there are no player controls in Acrobat. I only get player controls if I export as Windows Media. That means that some Mac users won't be able to use my Clip Notes exports. I've seen others asking about this, but no answers. Any ideas? I'm running this under Windows Vista Ultimate.

    But I find it amazing that there's no way to delete the damn thing. Adobe made a big deal of transcription, but it seems they didn't regard it as more than a gimmick, since they did it half-baked. I think you're right that it's best not to use this "feature".
    I don't know if it's necessarily half-baked, so much as it is an overly optimistic appraisal of the capability of the technology at this point in time. I mean, it does create words, and sometimes very interesting ones at that
    What's interesting to me is that when I tested out the transcribe feature back when Adobe released the beta of Soundbooth CS4, it was MUCH more accurate--and I was testing it on the mixed, final soundtrack of a documentary captured from Betacam SP. The transcription wasn't anywhere near 100%, but it was actually usable. Now, it struggles on pristine audio from a single, clear voice track. Wish it wasn't so...
    Anyway, you can stop the transcription from appearing in a Clip Notes export. Check out the following screenshot for the how-to:

  • Clip Notes + Streaming QuickTime = broken?

    I guess this is more of an AME or Reader issue, but figure that PPro users are the most common users of Clip Notes...
    I've tried exporting a Clip Notes PDF with streaming QuickTime video from both PPro CS3 + AME, PPro CS4 + AME, and standalone AME CS4, and all of them report an error: "Acrobat has encountered an error while playing this media clip:"
    If I use QT but select to embed the file, it works fine. If I use WMV, either embedded or streamed, it works fine. I have confirmed that I'm setting the URL correctly in the Clip Notes settings. The QT spit out by the Clip Notes export plays fine in QT Player, so I know the video itself isn't broken. I'm attempting to play/view these using Reader 8.1.3.
    Obviously, the solution would be to not use QT, or to at least embed it, but it's a much larger file than can be comfortably sent to my client (who isn't that technologically savvy). I like the QT option because of the ability to easily navigate/rewind the video.
    Anyone else experiencing issues with Clip Notes and streaming QuickTime?

    I'm using Vista 64.
    I was having the same problem with the transport controls not showing up.
    I set AcroRd32.exe to run in XP mode and that fixed the problem with the embedded movie file.
    Transport controls show up.
    Thanks.
    I hoped that would also fix the QT streaming problem.
    However, if I select "Streaming" and upload it to my server then when the Clip Notes tries to play the file it says "
    This happened also before I set AcroRd32 to XP mode.
    No problem with "Clip Notes Windows Media" format.  It uploads and plays fine.
    The .mov file is on the server.   I can play it fine in a browser.
    Any ideas why Adobe Reader won't play a streaming .mov file in Clip Notes, but will play a streaming .wmv file?
    You really need to use QT so you can scrub the timeline.
    .wmv files don't let you scrub!
    Adobe why haven't you after all these years made Clip Notes use flash?
    If you did it would truly be cross-platform.

  • Export to Clip Notes - No queue at AME

    When I export my PP CS4 project (DV PAL) to Clip notes, Media Encoder opens, but there is no queue. All other exports do media encoder are working fine. Only the Clip Note export funtion seems not to work. Anyone challenged this before?

    This is somehow interesting: I figured out that it works when I use the user defined settings. Only with the presets (such DV PAL or NTSC 512 KB Download) it does not work. I can live with that (but I Adobe should fix this). Did you try the presets?

  • Random Clip Notes

    I'm having a strange problem. When I export to clip notes (Embeded - QT - NTSC Widescreen Source to 512kbps) it adds a bunch of one word random comments. Does anyone know why this is? And how to prevent this from happening? Thanks.

    After you go to File > Export > Adobe Clip Notes, hit the flyout menu button and uncheck the "Include Source XMP Metadata" option. Like this:
    Important note: be sure to reinitiate the Clip Notes export from Premiere Pro. If you simply duplicate the export queue item in AME and uncheck the metadata option, it won't work. This very thing drove me absolutely batty the other day...!

  • Can not export at all.

    I'm having a fundamental problem with CS4 Premiere Pro.  I noticed with Premiere Pro CS4 that the exporting function/options are slightly different than in CS3. 
    So I go to File > Export > Media
    Then configure how I want to export.
    Click ok.
    The dialog box says "exporting data" for a couple seconds.
    Then nothing.
    It seems I'm unable to export my finished sequence altogether.
    There must be something small I'm doing wrong but I have no idea what it is.  I've looked over the Export Settings thoroughly but I don't know what could be wrong.  Any idea?
    Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.

    First try reinstalling AME. A number of people have had some trouble with it not being installed correctly.
    If that does not solve it, give more details.

  • Clip Notes streaming export causes Reader media clip error

    MacPro HDV captured into PPCS4, export OK to Adobe Clip Notes streaming, uploads .mov file to my FTP site OK. The .mov clip plays fine locally in QT. When I open the clip notes pdf in Acrobat 9 Reader for Mac or Acrobat 8 Pro on Vista, both give the same error on opening: Javascript window - error reading media clip. The clip does not load into the pdf, and I can not get error information to debug.
    Answer: I need QT streaming server. The Clip Notes streaming is true streaming, not progressive-download or pseudo-streaming. I did not see this in the Premiere CS4 documentation.

  • Clip Notes in CS4: questions about streaming

    I've used Clip Notes before with small, embedded files, but this is my first time with a large video that I want to stream on a server. Maybe someone can answer a few questions:
    Where do I name the movie file? The export dialog only has a place to name the PDF.
    How does the URL setting work? The documentation simply says "This is where your video file is located" but that puts the cart before the horse. How can I specify the name and location of a movie that hasn't been created yet and for which I have no control over the name? The FTP feature works great, but it's for upload only, not for naming.
    After exporting the movie and PDF, is there a way to re-generate the PDF w/o having to re-export the movie? I realized I wanted to make some changes to the PDF only (like instructions and URL), and exporting another movie will take time that isn't necessary.
    I learned here earlier that only the QuickTime option will provide player controls. But a big .mov requres a streaming server, which I don't have. The .wmv option has the opposite problem. Does anyone know of a workaround (or other method entirely) that will use Flash video? FLV or F4V will do progressive downloading with small file sizes for online viewing.

    Where do I name the movie file? The export dialog only has a place to name the PDF.
    The name you assign to the PDF is also assigned to the exported movie file, regardless of whether you use QT or WMV. So, if you set the name of the PDF in the Export Settings to "clipnotes.pdf", the video will be either "clipnotes.mov" or "clipnotes.wmv", depending on the format you've chosen.
    How does the URL setting work? The documentation simply says "This is where your video file is located" but that puts the cart before the horse. How can I specify the name and location of a movie that hasn't been created yet and for which I have no control over the name? The FTP feature works great, but it's for upload only, not for naming.
    See above. Since you now know what the filename will be, you just have to decide where the file will reside on your server, and input this into URL field. Using our example from above, you'd use enter something like "http://www.mysite.com/upload/clipnotes.mov". It's a full URL, with the "http://" needed; just change the pertinent details.
    After exporting the movie and PDF, is there a way to re-generate the PDF w/o having to re-export the movie? I realized I wanted to make some changes to the PDF only (like instructions and URL), and exporting another movie will take time that isn't necessary.
    Maybe, though I haven't tested this:
    Trash the original PDF file.
    Temporarily rename your originally-exported movie file, or move it to a different folder so that it's not overwritten.
    Set your export range to one frame, using the same settings and same name that you did for your first export, and restart the export.
    Throw away the new movie file, and rename the original or move it back to it's original folder. Since the only connection the PDF has to the movie file is the URL and filename, this should work.
    I learned here earlier that only the QuickTime option will provide player controls. But a big .mov requres a streaming server, which I don't have. The .wmv option has the opposite problem. Does anyone know of a workaround (or other method entirely) that will use Flash video? FLV or F4V will do progressive downloading with small file sizes for online viewing.
    I don't think you need a streaming server; I've tested QuickTime off a regular ol' HTTP server and it works fine. Incidentally, I should add, QuickTime streaming WASN'T working for me previously, at all. I just tried it out, and it would seem that a recent update to Adobe Reader might have fixed the issue. Streaming WMV always worked fine. Curious.
    As far as Flash: are you talking about using Flash Video in ClipNotes, or just Flash Video viewing online, in general? At this time, ClipNotes is QuickTime or WMV only, but I wouldn't be suprised if Flash Video makes an appearance in ClipNotes CS5, given the whole focus on Flash in the Adobe ecosystem. If you're talking about general FLV playback, check out the JW FLV Media Player; it's an fairly simple-to-configure Flash Video player that can be embedded into a webpage.

  • Export to Clip Notes

    Hi
    When I try to export to clip notes After Effects freezes and trying to select anything gives me the 'ping' noise.  The only way out of this is then to close the program down from the windows task list.
    Anything?????
    thanks

    I never used Clip Notes myself, but I did a quick search, and came up with the following:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?term=clip+notes&siteSection=home&loc=en_us
    There are no Clip Notes references in this list beyond AE9 (aka CS4).  I suspect that the application was not retained in later versions.  If you have any intentions of upgrading software beyond AE 9, I don't think I'd get in the habit of relying on Clip Notes.
    If I'm wrong about this, an Adobe employee will most certainly set me straight.

  • Captivate 4 not exporting to Flash CS4 correctly

    When I export from Captivate 4 to Flash CS4 it doesn't place the imported objects on their own timeline. Instead, it places each object into a movie symbol, which has its own timeline. The problem is that when I save it as a .swf in Flash and then I open it in After Effects none of the highlight boxes are visible.
    As you know, After Effects does not see Flash symbols that are buried below the main timeline.
    I opened up a project I worked on a year ago (with a different computer) and the Flash files had the exported Captivate items on the main timeline with the object on its own layer. Those files work fine in After Effects.
    Can anyone tell me if they are having the same export issue with Captivate 4 not exporting its elements in Flash on the main timeline (as seen in the help file: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Captivate/4.0/Using/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119e9582981-7fff. html)?
    Thanks!

    I found the solution here (http://labnol.blogspot.com/2004/09/export-captivate-movie-to-macromedia.html). I'll reprint the steps here:
    1. Close Flash CS4 if it is open.
    2. Open Windows Explorer.
    3. Navigate to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Captivate
    4. Copy the RDMFISTUB.dll file.
    5. Navigate to:
    C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash CS4\en\Configuration
    Note: The 'Local Settings' folder by default is hidden. If you are unable to locate the 'Local Settings' folder you can unhide it by opening Windows Explorer, select Tools > Folder Options > View, and select the option to 'Show hidden files and folders'.
    6. Create a new folder called Importers. Your final path should look like this:
    C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Importers
    7. Paste the RDMFISTUB.dll into the Importers folder.
    8. Open Flash CS4.
    9. Create a New Flash Document. Save the document (or Flash may freeze when importing)
    10. Select File > Import > Import to Stage.
    11. Browse to and select the CP file.
    12. Click OK.
    Here is a comparison picture of the results. Without the steps above the imported Captivate assets will reside inside of a movie symbol (one for each slide). This is labeled "incorrect" in the image. I want each asset on a new layer in the root timeline. This is labeled "correct" in the image.
    I want to go from Captivate to Flash to After Effects (because Captivate generated Flash files are unreadable in After Effects). For full disclosure, I used Captivate 3 in the steps above, but I hope this is a solution for Captivate 4 as well (I decided to stick with Captivate 3 because it worked in a project I used a year ago).

    Hello,
    You can do one of the following:
    Select the table in Firefox and then copy it to the clipboard. In Excel do Paste Special and select either 'Unicode text' or 'text' to copy it into Excel.
    Use the Table2Clipboard extension. This will provide the Right-Click menu option, it will copy the data into the clipboard and you can then paste the selection into Excel.
    I hope that helps.
