Embedded Movie

Planning to create a PowerPoint (in Office 2011 for Mac) on my Air with Mountain Lion. It is necessary that I use PP (and not Keynote, which I also have).
I have already created an iMovie file with the mp4 file type. It has visuals and audio sound-effects.
Before creating the final PP presentation, I can imagine that I may have to convert the iMovie film file to a file type that I can embed into this PP presentation, so that it can be sent to and reviewed in advance by a PC user (i.e. I will want to embed this film into a PP presentation, and the PC user will have to be able to see the controls on that slide). If this is so, can you tell me (1) what the PC-oriented file type should/might be, and (2) is there a converter that integrates well with Mountain Lion? A related question would be, can a PP presentation from 'Office for Mac' even use and embed this file type?

Many thanks for this response. This is good to know. The iMovie file I want to use is in the mp4 format, and I imagine that it has to be converted to one that you suggest, so that a PC user can directly watch and control the movie in a PP presentation. If this is so, I have looked at a number of possible converters for files on an Air, and wonder if one will convert as you suggest, and is also 'compatible' with Mountain Lion?

Plugging in the DisplayPort to VGA Adapter disrupts display of embedded 'movies' in OpenOffice

I am creating presentations with embedded movie clips (MP4 videos) using OpenOffice Impress. The embedded videos appear and play just fine on the MacBook Air display. But when I connect a video projector to the MBA via a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter and begin the presentation, slides project correctly until I get to the slide with the embedded video; then the slide on the MBA display and the projected image show a blank slide. After that, even with the adpter disconnected from the video projector, the embedded content disappears and I have to quit Impress and restart it; i.e., I cannot continue on past the slide with the embedded video, or even go back to previous slides.
Since I'm now away from the classroom and projector, I can't check to see if the projector has an HDMI input. If it does, will using that connection resolve the problem?
What's going on? Any hope of an effective workaround for a smooth, integrated presentation?

Yes, I can't see why not.
Just give it a try and report back if you have a problem.

How to get radio behavior for multiple embedded movies on a single page?

Hi,
I've got a single XHTML page with multiple embedded movie objects. The movies all play fine. I would like to convert the page to achieve a radio-style behavior for the movies so only one is running at any time. That is, if I click on a movie that's not running, the movie that is running will stop before the new movie begins. Any ideas on how this can be achieved? This might be more of a javascript question, but I was hoping somebody might have already done something similar. Thanks.
Paul

Roy,
It's an ugly solution but you can always add a hidden dummy structure item or KF and add all variables in the first executed query in the workbook.
- Find the query that has the most of the infobjects used in the other queries.
- Make sure this query is executed first in WB by removing/adding it in WB.
- Create the hidden dummy KF and add all the extra variables to this KF.
Solution usually works fine for me, but its not really feasible if the queries are have to many different infoobjects.

Embedded movies won't show up

I noticed this problem when a friend of mine directed me to a
site with an embedded movie object:
http://psubuntu.com/installation-instructions/
There are a few issues here:
1. If I look at this site in IE7, it shows up with a red "x"
icon for the reserved object dimensions
2. If I look at this in Firefox 2, it doesn't show up at all
- in fact, this is where we found the problem
3. Checking this in Opera 9, the movie appears correctly
4. My friend sent me the link to the actual youtube page with
the movie - I can see it just fine in all 3 browsers on that page
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pnmxwZJFQQ&eurl=
5. If I view the source and navigate to the link in any of
the browsers, I'm able to see the movie
6. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling all of my
browsers and Flash and still the same results
Has anyone ever seen anything like this? I'm shocked (but not
amazed) that this kind of thing would even happen in Windows XP.

The same happened to me when I edited the movie info (apple+I), and changed it to "music video". To fix it i changed info to "movies" Now I can see it in the video library.

Export to MOV with embedded Movies -- sound erratic

Help! I've trying to do too much with Keynote, I'm sure: I need to make a multi-media presentation with bg music, VO narration, standard Keynote transitions AND embedded movie clips -- then exported as a MOV file. When I do export it, and play the MOV file in QT, the embedded movie will play nicely, but only the first second or two of it's embedded audio will play.....can't figure this out. Anyone recognize this fail?
Ultimately, I'm wanting to bring the file up into iDVD and make a dvd presentention for distribution; will it matter that this happens in the MOV file?

Hi all.
I do exactly have the same problem since Keynote 4.0 and was hoping that it's solved in Keynote 5.0.
As soon as I try to export a previously recorded slideshow, (that has a quicktime-movie embeded on one slide) and one or two little textanimations on it. The embeded movie stops playing when the first animation starts in the exported quicktimemovie. When I view my recorded presentation, everything looks fine.
I do also believe, that the Quicktime-Export-Function does not work correctly because of timeline differences or so.
I would really appreciate a fix, specially becaused I upgraded in the hope that this should have been solved since around 10 months now....
Too bad.
P.S. As a workaround I am currently using also screenflow to record a recorded keynotepresentation to finally receive a movie. But that is kind of awkward too....

Embedded movies won't play

In the past month or so I've noticed that embedded movies either won't play or have no sound. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Close all apps, and then reboot the iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Attaching an embedded movie clip to an empty one

HI,
I am new to Flash and would like some help about the
following. A have an embeded movie clip in my library that i want
to attach to an empty movie clip I am creating with ActionScript. I
want to fix the size of the empty movie clip, that I will use as a
container to for my embedded movie clip. It turns out that when I
fix the size of the empty movie clip container and I use
attachMovie to load the embedded movie clip to it, the image
doesn't show, I can hear the sound but not the image.
So the question is , if I have a movie clip container of a
different size than the movie clipse I want to load into it, what
do I need to do to make sure the movie clip will fit into the empty
container.
thanks
-malena

Thanks for the answer, but what I would like to do is to have
a FIXED size empty clip on the stage and be able to load new clips
into that empty clip and have the loaded clips resize to fit into
the empty clip.
For example the FLVPlayback component does that
automatically. I can't use the FLVPlayback component because I want
to be able to control which frame number I want to displaly on the
screen, and it looks like I can only have that type of frame level
control wiht a Movie clip component but not with the FLVPlayback
component.

Export to Quicktime bug with embedded movies

Hi
I'm having an annoying problem when having Quicktime movies inserted in slides, then recording a slideshow and exporting it to Quicktime. I do the following:
1) Create a new slideshow
1) Insert movie into first slide
2) Create another slide
3) Insert copy and paste movie into this slide as well and add some animated object (i.e. a shape with a motion path)
4) Record slideshow so that the animated object appears while the movie still plays
5) Export recorded slideshow to Quicktime
*What happens when viewing the recorded slideshow:* Start of the presentation. The movie on the first slide starts playing immediately without clicking. *1st CLICK*. Second slide shows up. The movie on the second slide starts playing without clicking as well. *2nd CLICK.* The animated object is triggered, the movie and the animation play simultaneously.
*What happens when viewing the exported movie:* The exported movie seems to ignore some of the recorded settings. Slideshow starts, the movie doesn't play. *1st CLICK.* The movie starts playing (when actually it was supposed to advance from slide 1 to slide 2). *2nd CLICK.* The presentation advanced from slide 1 to slide 2.
It seems as if the export does not interpret all the settings the same way the direct presentation does, which is quite annoying as you don't get the same result in the exported movie you see on the screen.
Workaround: Go to the "QuickTime inspector" button in the inspector window, select the movie, check the option "Start movie on click". Then, go to the "Build inspector", hit the "More Options" button. The movie object now appears in the list. Select it and select "Automatically after transition" in the lower "Start build" part of the inspector. This way, the movie will start playing also in the exported movie.
Still there is another problem now.
*What happens now when viewing the exported movie with workaround:* Slideshow starts, the plays. *1st CLICK.* The presentation advanced from slide 1 to slide 2. The movie on the second slide starts playing without clicking as well! YAY! *2nd CLICK.* The animated object is triggered, the animation plays but the movie stops as soon as the animation is triggered.
So, instead of playing animation and movie simultaneously as in the normal recorded slideshow on screen, in the exported movie, the movie stops the moment the animation is triggered.
It seems as if the "Play Slideshow" and "Export to Quicktime" have different timelines, or different parameters the two modes evaluate.
This happened in iWork '08 and also happens in iWork '09. It's quite annoying. For me it's clearly a bug that should be fixed and is worth fixing. Please Apple, fix this bug.
I also noticed a tremendous amount of crashes while using the export to Quicktime function. While I was trying Keynote in iWork '09 I exported several times to Quicktime and had several crashes just by using this function.

Is it possible to set an embedded movie to Autoplay?

Is it possible to set an embedded movie to Autoplay? (Other than the intro movie) I don't see a setting for it.

No I didn't try it, it dosn't matter.
Media files auto play all ready, so do keynotes.
When they are full screen only they auto play.
HTML5 only plays full screen
so even if someone does get a html5 widget to auto play a video
it will still require a tap (to go full screen) so it will be just like the media or keynote widget. ie it dosn't matter, the end effect is the same as using a media widget. one tap required.
If someone can get a html5 widget to play in place or automaticly go full screen apon entering the page,
that is different.

Playing embedded movie backwards

I am patching together my first flash, which is definitly not
optimal (lots of redundant code etc.) Since there is a deadline,
ill go back and learn about how to make it much more optimal after
this first version is done, so keeping all that in mind:
Is there any way to play an embedded movie backwards upon
calling it with a gotoAndPlay() command from the same scene?
Thanks, a simple solution would definitly save me a lot of
time, thanks for any tips!!

Not all timelines can reversed their playback. This will work
on motion/shape tween
and frame by frame animation, nothing.
What kind of content do you have on these frames ?

Why doesn't my embedded movie play when I export s a video?

I am trying to export my project in keynote 09. However, the embedded movie does not export and when the movie plays it gets stuck on that slide where the embedded movie is. I even tried opening the file with 08 ( I shouldn't have upgraded) and it can't be opened. Any advice?
Thanks!
OS 10.8.4

From my experience, most Windows users do not have QuickTime player installed on their machines.
The alternative is to provide PDF or PowerPoint, but the software for these are not installed by default, and of course Keynote is a Mac only application, so you are very limited in how they will easily view your presentation.
I always provide Windows Media Video files for PC users, this requires separate software to be purchased to convert Quicktime to WMV. Fip 4 Mac Studio
I have had on occaision to supply clients with JPEG image files as this was the only method they could view the presentation as they were prevented from installing additional software.
You will need to ask your users if they are prepared to install additional software and if they want video or a slide presentation.

Exported presentation to quicktime and embedded movies won't play

Hello:
i have exported a keynote presentation as both hyperlinks only and interactive to quicktime pro, and the embedded movies will not play. if i reduce the screen size (from full screen, to half or so) then i can right click on the movie and select play (i could not do that in full screen). Even then, once the movie plays, i cannot replay it, even if i right click and hit play again.
is there some trick to making movies play in the exported QT file?? i was trying to export my full presentation earlier and the keynote app quick and said there was not enough disk space ( i think it is b/c i had too many other app's running at once) <---however am i doing something wrong there too??
i have a presentation due on monday and cannot figure this out!! thank you so much in advance!

what format are the movies you placed on your slides? This makes a big difference in if they get included in the exported QT movie.

Exporting Flash Files (which contain embedded movie clips) to Quicktime!

Since the recent Quicktime upgrade to 7.1.3 I have had trouble with the
animations I've made in Flash and exported to Quicktime. Most of the time,
my flash animations require flash movie clips embeded in the flash timeline.
In the past, when I have exported these flash animations as Quicktime files,
there is no problems, but now, since the upgrade, the export does not play
back properly, and it is obvious that Quicktime is unhappy with these
embedded clips within the flash timeline. Is there a way around this
problem? A way for me to maintain embedded movie clips in my timeline and
still export a working Quicktime file!?!

I've never mastered Flash but I know a lot about how QuickTime works.
I do know that some Flash features are limited to specific "publish" versions and some newer ones are not supported in older publish states.
Could you export two files (background and focus object) and test the actions?
QuickTime uses "layers" (lower layer numbers are on the "top"). Adding multiple layers to a .mov file is easy with Pro but Flash tracks that contain mouse actions must be on the top layer. If the track layer is behind another it may still appear (via transparency) but not be able to hold mouse actions.
One of my "movies" that uses Flash tracks and sprites:

Keynote with embedded .mov exported to Quicktime and then WMV (Flip4Mac)

Hi,
I have a Keynote with an embedded .mov file (video and audio) half way through which exports to Quicktime fine ("Keynote .mov").
When I use Flip4Mac to convert the Keynote .mov to WMV the resulting WMV file works fine but stops when the audio of the Keynote .mov stops i.e. Flip4Mac doesn't render the last of the Keynote .mov
I have sought help over at Flip4Mac tech support forum but thought someone here might know the answer.
I have tried a variety of different .mov files in my Keynote but the same in all cases: export to QT is fine but Flip4Mac stops converting the Keynote .mov at the end of any audio.
I can extract the audio track and Flip4Mac will convert the Keynote .mov (video) all the way through.
Help?

what format are the movies you placed on your slides? This makes a big difference in if they get included in the exported QT movie.

Embedded movies, Safari/Firefox freezes, then all hangs

Note: This post was moved from 'It's not just Safari, It's Firefox too... Crashing Tiger'
I have the same problem -- although it is linked directly to embedded quicktime movies. Almost every time I go to a page with an embedded movie, Safari / Firefox freezes, taking the rest of the os along with it (finder, other open apps) Unplugging the ethernet doesn't help. Checked the Safari crash log and it doesnt seem to be recording these crashes.

Sounds like lookupd is hanging and taking the OS with it...
If this is happening when surfing to sites with links to "js.adsonar.com", like FoxNews.com and others, here's a fix:

Saves Embedded movies with Keynote file....

Even though I have the preferences set to not save movies and audio files with the Keynote file, it still does it. This is version 5.03.
Reason being are the movies are pretty high frame size and data rate and I want them to keep playing from my faster media drive from within Keynote.
I'm pretty sure this feature used to work fine.

Hello Apple? This is a bug and it has been a pain in the butt with very large embedded movies that save WITH the presentation no matter what. I am hoping this is getting addressed.
