Embed H.264 exported videos in Powerpoint 2010

Hello,
We are using CS 5.5 on Windows 7 x64. Our videos are exported using the H.264 format.
The problem is:
We can embed the video in powerpoint (assumed quicktime is installed) but when we want to play it in the presentation, it simply shows a black screen, audio works. The weird think now is, when I fast-forward for at least one time, it works. It only shows a blackscreen if you dont fast-forward for atleast one time.
The problem could be solved, by installing the k-lite codec pack, but since we are sending presentations to other people, outside of our company, this isnt a solution.
I checked it on Windows 7 x64 and x86 with office 32 bit and quicktime, I get always the same result.
Anyone else having trouble to get their H.264 exported videos working in powerpoint 2010?
Thanks in advance
Malte

As for using the solution in post 8 above, this has problems. If you change to ipod multiplexing, then the quality of the exported video is quite a lot worse than a normal MP4. You get crawling noise on fine detail and an odd pulsing of the noise every few seconds. (This is related to the keyframe setting.) I have a video here that students shot in a forest, lots of fine detail in the tree trunk bark and all the leaves on the tree and the floor. With the Adobe YouTube H264 preset (1080p25 @ 8Mbps) the end result is fine but can only be used in Mac PowerPoint 2011 and not windows PowerPoint 2010. (2013 version has not been rolled out here.) If I repeat the export, changing only the multiplexing setting from standard to ipod then you see artefacts in the exported file. It does work in windows PowerPoint 2010, but its not a clean export.
Back to wmv for windows and mp4 for mac, until 2013 PowerPoint arrives and then we try again.

  • Embedding a youtube video in Powerpoint 2010 via a shockwave flash object

    We have a user, has found recently, when he adds a 'shockwave flash object'
    in Microsoft PowerPoint 2010, and adds a YouTube link, next to the
    "movie" field within the properties of the shockwave flash object, it
    will not show the YouTube video window (with the play button etc.) and will not
    play the video.
    The user thinks the current version of Adobe flash is causing this (version:
    14.0.0.145) and would be grateful if any staff from Adobe or anyone else has any
    ideas if this version does cause this problem and if there is a way to resolve
    it, or if a new release of Adobe Flash player will address this and if so when
    it will be released.
    Thanks,
    James

  • H.264 export video artifacts with regular background pattern

    I'm generally very pleased with the flexibility and quality of the H.264 video encoder provided by Premiere Pro.
    However, I have one scene, with a graph-paper-like background that generates video artifacts when zooming in and out, no matter how high I set the bitrate.
    I'm including two images created by grabbing frames from the exported movie from Quick Time Player.  The first shows the scene without artifacts (at the end when the
    zooming is over) while the second shows the effect when I'm zooming in on the scene.  As you can see, the artifacts consist of graying out of the black lines and appearance of some "tick" lines along the lines, which I assume is due to the compression algorithm used by the codec.   Does anyone have experience with such problems and can suggest a way to avoid this? It's a relatively short segment of the video that is effected.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hmmm... the second file ppVideoArtifactOn.jpg appears by name in the original posting after the first, visible image.  I'm not sure why it's not showing up, but I'll include it here again:

  • Embedded youtube videos will no longer play in Powerpoint 2010

    Since upgrading to Flashplayer 11, I can no longer play embedded youtube videos in powerpoint 2010.  I get the error message that I have to upgrade Flashplayer.  I have performed several clean installs, yet I continue to get the same error message stating that I have to upgrade Flashplayer.  How do I correct this?

    i know right here is one fix if u got 2010 powerpoint  youtube did some changes thats not compatable with it . 1 way around it that might work for you is within the use old embeded code  were it says version=3 change it # into 2 insted of 3. do this in both appeareances.
    example   <object width="1280" height="720"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1rcqwRgVvvw?version=3&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1rcqwRgVvvw?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="1280" height="720" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
    change the #3 to the #2 thats it. then paste it in your powerpoint insert video from web.

  • IBook G3 Dual USB exporting video through firewire & playing video DVD's

    Is it possible to export video from Powerpoint, Final Cut Pro or Quicktime Pro through the firewire port to an external device on this machine?
    I am running OSX Panther. I have tried several times to go to several external devices and have had no luck.
    Also, is there a way to load the Apple DVD player and play video DVD's on this iBook? I have installed an internal CD-RW/DVD drive, which works fine for burning CD's or reading data DVD's, but I can not get movies to play.
    Thanks,
    MPH

    It's very important to determine which iBook you have, since different models use different adapters.
    Check out this Apple Knowledge Base article to determine which model iBook it is:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88039
    Also, you can click on the blue Apple logo in the upper left of the display, and choose "About This Mac" from the drop-down menu. It will tell you the MHz rating of the Mac. Clicking on "More Info…" will open the System Profiler which will give you even more information about your computer, including which type of optical drive it has (which, assuming it still has the original optical drive, can be a clue as to which model it is).

  • Acrobat X Pro Embed Flash & Powerpoint 2010

    The only reason I upgraded to Acrobat X Pro from standard was to be able to embed cine loops/video into Powerpoint slides that would play upon conversion to PDFs via PDFMaker.
    I've made some small test ppts and converted them. Sometimes they convert, sometimes they don't.
    Of the converted files, I embedded two videos converted from mp4 via the "Embed Flash" option under the Acrobat heading on the Powerpoint ribbon.
    One plays as it should.  The other just displays an all black window.  Both files were MP4s.  Got no error messages.  Both MP4s look fine/play fine in Powerpoint.  So why won't one convert correctly - no error message so PDFMaker seems to think it converted fine.  Seems like it is very unreliable.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    j

    Hi,
    Thank you for trying to help.  I have Powerpoint 2010 32 bit version.  I have made some progress, but spent an inordinate amount of time doing so.
    I can't embed directly into Acrobat using the commands you provided in your first message. This is what I am trying:
    Insert new page. While on that page go to tools>Content>Multimedia>Video...  I click video  Nothing actually happens.  Not sure how this is supposed to work or be helpful.  There is no prompt to select a file, no dialog box, nothing...the selection just has a check mark next to it and stares back at me.
    But if I select, Insert Page from Another File, and then adjust, "files of type" to be the video files, I can load the video directly into the PDF.  Of course then I don't have them formatted in the same slide background, etc. as the rest of the presentation and, "IT AIN'T PRETTY!".  And the insert only lets me insert "before" or "after" current slide, not onto the current slide...
    I found that the inserted MP4 files displayed in jerky fashion and appear to have fewer frames than the original. In Powerpoint they play fine and move smoothly.  Another problem was that the files "blinked" before playing. In other words, image 1 is displayed.  If I click on the image, it goes black for a second and then the image comes back and plays its loop.  After much trial and error and loss of hours of my life I will never get back, I found that iif I turned off hardware acceleration and let it play in "software," the files played fine with no blinking.  However, how will I know how viewers of my content have their computers set up? This is pretty sketchy implementation, or, more likely, I just don't know what I'm doing.
    Also, I see no way to make the slide play continuously.  I get one loop per click.  I did edit the properties so that it would "Disable when:" "The page containing the content is closed." This doesn't seem to make any difference and it still stops after one loop even while the page is displayed.  Is there a way to make the files that are directly embedded into the PDF play continuously once triggered?  Actually, I guess I don't care about that so much as, overall, inserting the cine loops directly into the PDF is a bad solution as the slide doesn't have the Powerpoint theme and formatting and such.
    Concerning the embed process in Powerpoint using the Adobe Acrobat X Pro add-in:  I converted the test video to MP4 and MOV from an original AVI using Prism Video File Converter and each displayed just fine in their native format in Powerpoint (and I could loop them continuously!)
    However during the embed process in Powerpoint,  when I use the Acrobat "Embed Flash" tool, the video is inserted as an all black window on the slide...I can't see the content at all.  If I save the file as a PPTm, the images do appear  in the Powerpoint slideshow and play, albeit with the initial blank image problem/Flicker despite hardware acceleration still being turned off.  Again I can see no way to make an embedded image loop continuously as long as the slide is displayed.  I get one loop and have to trigger it again.  Also, once I play the show, the image then does appear on the slide in the, "normal" editing mode. Pretty weird that I have to play the show to get the image and controls to appear in edit mode...
    So, bottom line questions:
    1  Can I do an "embed flash" and get the image to play continuously unless stopped by the user using the controls? 
    2. Can I do an "embed flash" and avoid the business where the cine box goes blank before displaying the embedded video?
    3.  Can I do an "embed flash" that doesn't start off life in the PPT presentation as an empty black box that only displays the video after it has been put through a slide show experience?
    BTW, I am a physician and I'm trying to embed cine loops of 3D medical images from my radiology practice into secure PDF files for distribution to interested health care professionals. Since the images reflect my practice, I want them and the entire presentation to be as professional as possible.  I have to tell you, this is pretty frustrating since I paid for the Acrobat X PRO out of pocket and it isn't a business expense/tax deductible, etc.  I would never have thought this process would be so convoluted in such a mature product.  Any additional help that you or others on the forum can provide would be much appreciated, and of course I do appreciate your efforts to date.
    Best regards,
    John

  • Captivate 7 SWF file blurry in PowerPoint 2010

    I need help... I've published a Cp7 video - it views perfectly fine.  Then I embed it into PowerPoint 2010 (as both a media file and using the Adobe Flash plug-in) and the video is VERY fuzzy.  The Cp file resolution is 1024x768 - I've set the video quality setting to 100% and turned off all compression settings.  I'm running Windows 7... I've even tried changing my monitor resolution to match.
    Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your reply.  While I am very encouraged to learn that you use this feature successfully, my challenge is to do this  while keeping it linked.  I don't think I can successfully link each "section" without confusing the Captivate file.  We plan to make regular updates and it seems that linking to the source will be the most efficient.  This means, I think, that I will need to keep one source file -- and not four.    If I am mistaken, please let me know. 

  • Insert SWF into PowerPoint 2010?

    When I wanted to insert a SWF into a PowerPoint 2007 presentation, I would use the More Controls dialog in PowerPoint's Developer tab to insert a Shockwave/Flash object. But in PowerPoint 2010, that control is missing from the dialog. Where did it go? When I click the Register Custom DLL, there's no obvious file to choose, either.
    Has anyone else run into this? I'm not looking for a way to convert a SWF into a video that can be embedded or using a 3rd-party plug-in or anything like that. I know how to do those things. I'm specifically looking to insert a SWF using only what's built into PowerPoint and Flash, so if anyone has info on it, please let me know!

    I have installed PowerPoint 2010 beta release on my machine. I was able to attach a SWF file to the presentation successfully. All options to insert a video are located on the Insert tab, in the Media group. Please refer to the link below on how to insert a flash movie to the presentation.

  • What are the correct iphone 5 H.264 export settings?

    I have scoured the internet for help trying to find the correct way in which to make a proper H.264 mp4 video file that will play on the iPhone 5. I am using Adobe Premiere CS 6. There exist presets for the iphone 4, but not the iphone 5. I tried the iphone 4 presets but they will not play on the iphone 5.
    I tried checking Apple's iphone 5 video specs to make sure I am not over spec: https://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html, which says: Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    Here is how I have my video export settings set up in Adobe Media Exporter and the multiplexer is set to iPod:
    I've tried other slight variations, but nothing will play. I am hosting these videos on a site and just trying to access them from the URL bar such as: http://harbourak.us/videos/iOS_mp4.mp4. I cannot use m4v or mov formats because of the flash script that is used on other flash supporting browsers that can convert the mp4 quickly on the fly.
    If anyone has any suggestions for how to get this to work I would be greatly appreciative! Thank you!

    So yeah, there is no setting I can find that allows you to properly export your video in h.264 .mp4 that will play on the iphone from Adobe Premiere CS6. What is the point? I just don't get it. It's like secretly apple has decided to not allow any mp4 to be downloaded from the web and be played on the iphone, but then lie to everyone when they say on their spec page that the iphone will play mp4s that are 640x480, 30fps, AAC 48kHz, < 2.5Mbps. Ugh, I've exported so many different versions of .mp4s and for each and everyone the iphone says "sorry, broken play button image" and no explanation. So helpful! </sarc>
    Okay, you want examples that work FINE in regular PC browsers? Well, I set up a dummy page with the HTML5 embed code here:
    http://housemajority.org/wp-content/themes/candidate/video-test.php. Works fine in Safari for Mac & PC.
    This currently has the 640x480, 30fps, AAC 48kHz, < 2.5Mbps h.264 codec .mp4. Plays fine in Safri on the PC or Mac but not the iphone. This file completely coorelates with Apple's spec sheet so I'm at a total loss. The actual file can be found here: http://housemajority.org/vids/iOS_30fps.mp4
    Other video attempts:
    /vids/iOS_preset.mp4 - 29.97 fps before changing to 30fps
    /vids/iOS_mp4.mp4 - 720x480 before changing to 640x480. makes no sense
    /vids/H264_w29.mp4 - another version of the 720x480 version.
    /vids/iOS_converted.mp4 - tried using one of those "convert videos to iphone version" shareware apps that also doesn't work.

  • Any way to export videos and preserve the original creation date?

    I recently shot video using an NEX-5N and AVCHD as the format. Since Aperture cannot playback this format, I converted the videos using Handbrake to mp4 (H.264), and then used A Better Finder to change the creation date of the converted file back to the same date as the original file.
    Importing this converted file into Aperture works great, and the imported file shows the correct metadata of the original creation date, not the date of the conversion.
    But when exporting this file from Aperture, it seems like Aperture does not embed the date as metadata, and thus the only date associated with the exported video is the file-system date attached to the file, which will of course be the date of the export. 
    I assume this problem applies to ANY video imported into Aperture, not just those that have been converted.
    Does anyone have a method for exporting video and having the original creation date remain?  This is obviously a problem when exporting videos one-by-one, but would be a bigger problem if I ever wanted to export my entire video library from Aperture into another program...all the video files would have the same date!
    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

    EXIF data and video files is even more of a gray area then EXIF data and stills.
    I don't do much video in Aperture so I'll take your word for it that the data isn;t imbedded into the file. In that case the best I can see is to create a custom export preset and  include the Image Date in the filename. Not great but you at least have the data and you might be able to have a script use the date from the filename and somehow add it back into the file.

  • Export video from iMovie with maximum iPod Touch quality specs

    We got an iPod touch to playback short films (made in iMovie) using Apple's composite video cable connected to a projector.
    The published *TV and video* specs on the iPod touch webpage shows what the iPod Touch should be capable of playing back the following:
    [1] +- H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;+
    [2]+- H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;+
    [3]+- MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats+
    Exporting from iMovie using the *Share > Export Using Quicktime...* option and adjusting the settings to match any of those above creates files that iTunes refuses to copy to the iPod.
    iMovies' *Share > Export Movie...* and iTunes' *Advanced > Create iPod or iPhone version* create videos with a bitrate of only ~1.6Mbps - both of which don't look great projected on a big screen.
    Has anyone had any success exporting video at the published 2.5Mbps spec AND been able to copy them to the iPod Touch?
    Thanks!

    Figured out how to get HQ 2.5mbps video on the iPod Touch.
    By changing one of the options in iMovie's "Export using Quicktime..." option: "Export: Movie to MPEG-4 > Options... > Video Options..." resulted in a file that works on the iPod.
    Here's a screenshot of the settings: http://readingpsc.org.uk/files/ipodtouch-hq-export.gif
    Select the 'Baseline' profile ONLY (deselect the default 'Main' profile) and the iPod Touch will accept the file at 2.5Mbps - and, oddly, even bitrates higher than that, I managed to put a 20Mbps file on the iPod Touch.
    Here are some test files:
    4:3 - http://readingpsc.org.uk/files/ipodtouch-test-2500kbps.mp4 (6.9mb)
    16:9 - http://readingpsc.org.uk/files/ipodtouch-test-wide-2500kbps.mp4 (6.9mb)
    Hope that helps someone out there!

  • I'm having problem with exporting video from premiere pro cc 2014

    I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 and I'm having problem with exporting video.
    When I click Export and media, the window for exporting appears and it starts exporting video.
    But after a few minutes, it looks like it has completed exporting video and says there's a bug in exporting.
    It literally says it has a problem with compiling, but I don't know what the real problem is.
    I tried many things like restarting computer and Premire Pro but it's no use.
    But it works when I use Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 for exporting video.
    If anyone knows any possibilities about why this problem happens, please let me know.

    I'm having a similar issue.  When I go to export my project, I add it to the render queue, set it up with the h.264 settings that I've used with countless past versions of the program, and then hit render.  Randomly, at some point in the process, the render just stops and the ETA just keeps climbing.  I actually had to save an XMF file of the CC 2014 project and bring it into the previous CC version of Premiere just to finish it.  Even a clean re-install of CC 2014 doesn't work.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 H.264 iPod video format green flashes in Quicktime

    Quicktime 7.3.1 apparently shows no flashes but 7.4.5, 7.5.5 and 7.6 all show green flashes on videos encoded in AME CS4 H.264 iPod video small.
    No other quicktime versions tested.
    Videos play fine in VLC Player and Adobe Media Player.
    Videos encoded with the latest MediaCoder sourceforge application play fine in Quicktime.
    Clearly something's wrong with the way Adobe exports and the way quicktime 7.3+ reads H.264 videos.

    I think it may be the QuickTime Player issue and not Adobe Media Encoder. Its seems to play find in other players like Adobe Media Player and Windows Media Player after installing Windows Essentials Media Codec Pack 2.2c. (http://download.cnet.com/Windows-Essentials-Media-Codec-Pack/3000-2140_4-1066270 9.html). Haven't check to see if it plays correctly on my i-Touch. Not all videos I encode from .AVI to .MP4 using the i-Pod small preset seem to have this issue.
