Displaying thumbnail of FLV video (not 1st frame)

Hello!
I have created FLV files through Premiere which I imported into Dreamweaver and from there insert media Flash Video. I followed the options of what kinds of player disply to use, but there's no options for creating a thumbnail of the video. They all default to the first frame, but the first frame is black. Is there any way to pick a different shot or add a jpg still of a shot in the media player?
Much appriciations!

This has to be done in Premiere. And it's not called a thumbnail which may be why you didn't find the option. It is called a poster frame. The best documentation I could find is CS3 (link below), but if you search the help in CS4 I am sure you can find the answer because I doubt a feature like this would move very far.

DW CS4: FLV video not displaying

I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 and I'm trying to put an FLV video on a page. I used Insert ->Media ->FLV... and filled in everything it asked for - I browsed for the video (which is in my root directory), I chose a skin, and I input width and height values. I uploaded the video to the server, I uploaded the newly created Scripts folder and its content to the server and, of course, I uploaded the page. I also uploaded FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf and Clear_Skin_3.swf to the root folder. But the video isn't showing.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? It's a standard .flv video for Flash 8 and higher and plays just fine in a variety of players, including Adobe Media Player v. 1.8.
Here's the page:
http://StopRightNow.net/index.htm
(The video should display in the large white area to the left of the page, opposite the body copy)
Thanks in advance for your help.

I would never have found that. Thanks VERY much! It's strange. When I put the video on the page, I selected Clear_Skin_3. And that's the file that was in my root folder and that I uploaded to the server. But somehow the code showed Clear_Skin_1. After I changed that 1 to a 3 in the page code, all was right with the world
Again, many thanks for your help. It's much appreciated.

FLV videos not playing correctly in Captivate 6

I am running into an issue where my FLV video is not playing correctly when my Captivate project is exported out and saved to the web. The FLV video is about 20 mins long (~100 MB) and it is being streamed from Kaltura. The FLV video is inputted into the Captivate project as a multi-slide synchronized video across 27 slides. The slides themselves are imported from Powerpoint. The problem that we are running into is that the Captivate project and the FLV video play correctly when viewed with decent bandwidth, but they do not appear to play correctly for users with slower bandwidth. However, if a user views the videos independently of Captivate, they can view the videos correctly, even at slower bandwidth. I have tried hosting the Captivate files on several different webservers, including an LMS. But the issue continues and I'm searching for any type of answers that might help.
Thanks for reading and any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Nathan

Nathan,
Your welcome, if that is the case, then can you try and insert the MultiSlide Video, you can insert the streaming video URL.
You can add the server to you computer as network Drive and then browser to that location, once you do that, the options to add the Video as Streaming can be chose and your Vidoe would remain insync with main playbar, users can play and pause content that way.
See if this can be implemented at your end.
Thanks,

Flv videos not playing on html files - UNC/Mapped Drives

Hi,
We've discovered an issue with Dreamweaver CS3 recently (running on Windows 7 Pro, 32bit) in our school, where embedded flv video files wont run when the file's UNC path appears in the address bar, but will if this is changed to the local drive letter, in our case N. This obviously makes it a little difficult for teachers to mark students' work.
I found a similar issue in another thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/688483
which had not been answered. Are there any known solutions for this please? I have spent a while browsing, but have so far not come back with much. I've tried enabling and disabling 'Remove run from start menu' which was suggested, but this didn't make any difference.
Thank you
Regards
Savos Aren

.flv VIDEOS not playing smoothly

A heavy video-generated Captivate project has been created in Cap 4:
* 18 slides all up, with the total size of .flv videos coming to 90.7MB
* Using Captivate, as looking for interactivity -- there is also a menu, so users can jump to whichever section they'd like to watch/use
When accessing the completed project online:
1) The loader quickly goes up to 100%
2) Shows the preloader image I have inserted
3) User clicks play, and the first slide with video plays...
The first video either freezes / move quickly along the timeline. You are also unable to jump to other sections shown in the menu. While I am not too worried about this, my priority is for comfortable viewing for the first video. I am assuming that the first video freezes, etc because the whole project has yet to load completely. How can one work towards this solution? I have tested the loading time, changing it from 10%, 20%, towards 100% but the video is still freezing at times / moving quickly along the timeline.

Thanks for your PM - I just checked your project and it runs 100% fine and smooth for me.
I checked it on two different PC's
1. Vista 64-bit, IE 7.0, Flash player 10, 10mbit/10mbit internet connection.
2. Win XP Pro, IE 7.0, Flash player 10, corporate LAN
This leads me to the conclusion that the issue is the speed of your internet connection. The first video is around 80 seconds and is 13.5 Mb. That is very big when you consider the length and especially the dimension of the video you are using.
If you dont already have FP10 then try and upgrade to see if that helps. It's much better at handling videos etc. than the older versions of Flash players.
Secondly you need to recode your videos. You will be able to get the first video down from 13.5 to perhaps 4-6 mb, with a noticable quality loss. If you have Flash you can use the Adobe Media Encoder to do the recoding.

Flv video not playing in AIR application

Hi everybody,
i'm building a tutorial with flash catalyst and since the 20 states limit i've split it up in different swf files that I import and show in different states.
One of these swf (which i built with Catalyst as well) is supposed to play a flv video, and it actually plays it if i run it alone.
The problem comes when i build the overall tutorial: it works perfectly with the "run project" command in Catalyst and with the run-local version but the video won't play if i try the AIR application.
Does anyone have any suggestion?
NB: the "asset" directory created with the AIR application installer does contain the flv file (i didn't have to put it there manually)
Thanks in advance for your help,
Giuseppe

Hi Giuseppe,
what I do is:
1. create a file using Captivate
2. i place a .flv video in this file
3. save the file as .swf
4. then i go to dreamweaver and put the swf on a html page.
Now:
when viewed in a browser, everything runs fine.
when i pack this page into an air application (in dreamweaver) the video does not appear,
instead I get this "Connection Error"
I do not know a console or log file.
However, I learned that there is a .xml file located in the same AIR folder that you publish in.
In this .xml file there is a setting :transparency. in order to playt a .flv file this must not be be "transparent"!
(i read this somewhere in the net)
hope that helps
I will talk to a professional programmer, if I have any news, i will let you know

FLV video not showing up

I imported a flv video on a Dreamweaver page. It looks fine
when I view in a browser locally, but when I publish it just shows
as a white area.
When I publish with SWFs; no problem.
I've publish the scripts so that's not the issue. Any ideas I
should try?
Thanks very much.
Any ideas?

Check your hosting, one of mine is now blocking flv files as
"streaming".
When I have time sites on that hosting company will be moved.

Thumbnails for HD videos not appearing in Photoshop Organizer

How do I get thumbnails to appear in .mts (Canon HD) videos in Photoshop Organizer (bundled with Photoshop / Premiere 8?

Hello A.T. Ramano,
     First and foremost I would like to take you in advance for any and all help. I will try to answer your question to the best of my abilities but please remember I'm not all that technically savvy in these matters.
1.     Elements Organizer is version 8.0. Premiere Elements is version 8.0. I've tried to down load the update but get a message that is already installed. Not to sure what you ment by sourse, unless you're wanting to know that Premiere was installed via DVD disks.
2.     File extension for HD video files is (.mts).
3.     The camera is a Canon Vixia HF S20.
4.     I'm not sure where to look for compression levels. Video quality is set at the highest level on the camera (MXP).
5.     Thumbnails show up in the Premiere elements organizer (sometimes), but never in the Elements Organizer.
6.     Haven't tried downloading the trial version of Premiere 9.0, that's next. If that doesn't work was thinking about uninstalling Premiere 8.0 and re-installing it.
7.     QuickTime Player is version 7.6.9.
8.     Windows Media Player is version 11.0.6002.18311.
9.     Pixela Image Mixer 3SE player is version 6.0.1. Tried to update all three players and received a message that players were up to date.
10.   Video is shot in 16:9 mode, Super Fine / 1920x1080, Cinema Mode progressive frame rate of (PF24).
11.   Computer is a Dell Studio XPS laptop, Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40 GHz, 4.0 GB of ram, Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit operating system service pack 2, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 video card with 1GB of on board ram.
If there is other information you require, please don't hesitate to ask, Thank you again for your help.
Sincerely,
Mike

.flv videos not loading

Hello,
Has anyone had this problem and found a fix. For some reason my flash videos are not playing. Nothing loads on the Captivate page in the LMS enviroment. It works just fine before I upload the zipped file, I unzipped into into a test folder and it works just fine (the .fla files have a relative path) but when it is uploaded onto the LMS something happens, actually nothing happens:) The flash videos don't load. I am going to guess this is an LMS problem, but just in case, has anyone experienced this and made a change somewhere and it worked?
Thanks in advance for any input you can give.
Enjoy the day,
Keith

Hi!
I have found the solution.
AIR expects a protocol, which in this case is “file:///” (not the file's NativePath).
So
<mx:VideoDisplay id="myVid"
            source="../assets/ES_morcuera.flv"
            height="250"
            width="250"
/>
must be:
<mx:VideoDisplay id="myVid"
             source="file:///home/user/myProject/assets/ES_morcuera.flv"
             height="250"
             width="250"
/>
Bye.

Flv video not working in IE 7

Hi Folks,
I have a project in which I've inserted and flv file, and it is playing quite well through a skin when I preview it in the Web Browser of the captivate project. The published folder contains the flv file and the skin .swf file, but I noticed the flv file is not actually in the Library of the Captivate file.
The problem: my customer reports that the movie does not play in Internet Explorer 7. Since I work on a Mac, I cannot test my project in IE 7. Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how to fix?
Thanks and cheers,
Roger

Hello Roger,
I suppose you are not talking about slide video but an inserted video, what were the settings (streaming or pointing to the file)?
About testing: did you ever try Browserlab:
https://browserlab.adobe.com/en-us/index.html#
Cannot give you a lot of info about it, has been a while since I used it but wanted to offer this tip anyhow.

FLV Video not appearing

I have been trying to convert some VOB video files to flv
files.
I have used a converter to convert the VOB files to MPG.
These mpg files display fine when I launch them within Windows.
When I create a new flash file and import the video, the video
appears as a 32 by 32 black square. I have included play controls
but pressing play, nothing appears. However the progress bar moves
along as if it is playing. There is no sound either.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Paul

Many Flash Video encoders can't process muxed MPEG-2 program
streams (your run of the mill MPEG-2 file, including VOB files). I
wrote an article on MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 usage in Flash Video encoders
on Community MX. It's a free article, and it might help you get
your MPEG-2 encoded without any transcoding to MPEG-4. If you have
any questions after reading the article, let me know:

.flv videos not appearing in published .swf

Hi, I have imported some .flv files into my Captivate project, but when I publish it as .swf the files do not show I up at all... I have no idea why... Can anyone help with this.

Hello ,
Can you tell me the version of Adobe Captivate you are using (Go to Help > About Adobe Captivate) ?
Do you get any error message when you play the .swf output ?
Thanks

Size Limit of FLV Video?

Can Can a FLV video w/ a frame size of 800x450 reliably play
off of a CD-ROM? (It has a simple voiceover audio track, and will
be around 5 minutes long. The FLV will be embedded in an 800x600
flash movie.)

Thanks for the input SymTsb and Rothrock. We are putting
together a CD with full motion video chapters (shot in high def.)
interspersed with 3D animations. Would like to maximize screen
size....should we be doing this in Flash 8, Director or some other
program? Any recommendations? Again this is produced for a wide
audience with lots of different computers.
Thanks!

FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6

Could you please attempt to shed some light on why FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6, yet apple finder is able to display thumbnails for these same FLVs without issue?
I'm running CS6 Production Premium with ALL updates installed on 10.6.8
I appreciate any input and help provided the input is provided by someone who either
A) knows the answer because they actually work for adobe
B) actually tried this themselves before attempting to provide a solution
If the conclusion is that it is a codec issue or a header issue with the FLVs You'd have to present a very strong case to back that claim up as it makes no sense whatsoever that CS6 is unable to generate thumbnails for media encoded using CS6, yet Apple finder can without issue. NOT to mention the FLVs in question are CREATED on the same machine with the same codecs installed that is trying to generate previews in Bridge.
Apologies if my frustration is showing, I've gotten and seen several... incompetent replies on this forum regarding this issue and it has never been actually addressed properly as far as I can tell by Adobe support.

We are all just incompetent users here. As pointed out before this is just a user to user forum, Adobe rarely checks in.
I was hoping by now you would have gotten to the bottom of this problem and were offering a solution.
