Embedded video in Indesign won't play

Hi all,
I've been playing with InDesign for the last 8+ hours on trying to figure this out and hoping somebody here on this forum is smarter than me. I have embedded a video (it's a flash video) in my InDesign file - a magazine. I'm testing the page to make it work before exporting the whole file, but so far am stuck on this one problem.
I save the spread as a flash file and when the file opens from my C: the movie plays and everything is copacetic.
When I go to load the file to my FTP, not only is the movie not playing, but it's not even loading. I placed the video in Indesign at 100% and as I mentioned, when I open the file locally, it works fine. The minute I try to import it online .. zip.
Here is the link for the test page: http://www.bakidsmagazine.com/page19.swf.
I appreciate any and all help you can give me on this. I've looked online for answers but couldn't find it.
My e-mail is [email protected] if you need me to send you any files.

InDesign does not embedd videos... when you export your SWF, ID creates a Resources folder for all the media assets. You have to upload that folder to your server too. If you don´t, Flash Player doesn´t find your videos, sounds or places SWFs...
Here´s a screenshot from Safari´s activity window:
It seems that you are publishing a magazine. If you want to get some extra features like zooming for instance, check out http://www.edocker.com

  • Embedded videos from Presenter won't play/sync

    I have a couple embedded videos in a PPT that I've published from Presenter to Adobe Connect.  When I get to the slide with the video in the Connect meeting, the section with the video is blank.  However, if I turn off the Sync, I get the play bar and can manually play it, but it does not sync to the group (obviously with sync being disabled).
    How can I set it up so I can manually play the video and keep the attendees synced to the video, as well?

    Hi,
    You can get the playbar even in the sync mode. Click on share pod's dropdown menu and click on Show Presentation playbar option from the dropdown.
    You will then see the playbar similar to what you see in un-sync mode and you can then play the video. Let us know if this did the trick for you!
    Thanks

  • I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work?

    I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work? I know that my iPod should take music videos because there is a pre-made playlist called "Music videos". Can anyone help me please????

    You can sync the music videos, but they won't play on your 6G Nano, because it does not support video playback. Sorry.

  • Video on YouTube won't play !

    Video on YouTube won’t play Until I refresh the page? However, when the video ends okay then can not play the video again? Video plays only once then had to refresh the page in order to watch the same video?

    Hi G-hot, were you able to solve your other issues with Youtube from your earlier thread, or is this an additional problem with Youtube? I think if you could list all the problem in one list it might be helpful.

    Also, did you do the usual?
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first on Youtube and Gmail). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then change the site at the top from youtube.com to google.com and clear those as well.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • Embedding video in InDesign for a PDF output

    I've been trying to embed videos in InDesign to output them as a PDF with video.
    I've followed the tutorials but the final PDF has only the poster frames — they won't play.
    One thing I have noticed is that the tutorials say to choose "Object>Interactive>Movie Options.
    When I open the Interactive menu, no such options appear; only references to buttons. I have tried it in different workspaces: Interactive, Advanced, and Interactive For PDF. Same result in all of them.
    I have the latest Indesign and Quicktime.  I have tried embedding both H.264 and flash videos. Same result for all.  I also tried exporting as "Interactive PDF" which is worse — even the poster frames don't appear.
    What am I missing?

    You need to export as PDF (Interactive) and you also need to view the PDF in Reader or Acrobat 9 or later.

  • Embedded Video in PDF doesn't play in preview or google drive.

    I'm working on an interactive PDF in InDesign with an embedded mp4 video. When I export the pdf the video only plays in adobe reader but not in preview. I also uploaded it to google drive to send to people but the video won't play on google drive either. Is this an issue with the way I'm embedding/exporting the interactive PDF or is this a compatibility issue with preview and google drive?
    If the file is downloaded by someone who doesn't have adobe reader, how can I make sure the file will open in adobe reader for them?

    There are hundreds of PDF readers. Most of them only view only simple files and fail with interactivity, or PDFs for specialized uses like prepress. As Bob said, the only readers you can be sure of are Adobe Reader and Acrobat. Tell your viewers to download the FREE Adobe Reader to get the best viewing experience, and provide a link to Adobe Reader.

  • While in imovie, when working on a project, I can NOT view the project in the right hand screen. I have made several videos and it has always worked before. I am not able to edit the videos because they won't play in the right hand screen.

    The videos that I import (and are located on the bottom of imovie) will show up and play on the right hand screen. But if I move that clip to the actually project area it won't play in the right hand side! I somehow must have clicked something that now won't play the project videos and now plays the clips below instead! Help please I need to fix this! Everythign else works, I can still edit videos, add transitions, music, etc I just can't see it on the right hand side- so I can't edit because I can't see

    See my post here on how to do this.

  • Video from iPhone won't play on iPad

    I received a video from iPhone in an email but iPad won't play it? Any way to get it to play on iPad.

    I appreciate what you are both saying -- but it is not the music that is the problem.  The video itself is NOT blocked - you can view it on a computer -- but when you try to view it on ipad/iphone the message says, "not available on this platform".  Here is a link to a video I did in Elements 9 on Tuesday:

    Here is the link to the video done last night in 11:

  • Embeded videos in keynote don't play when exported as a quicktime movie

    I have a keynote presentation with videos in it. I want to export it as a QuickTime movie but when I do the videos do not play. What do I need to do to resolve this?

    Exactly the same issue for me. Went to Snow Leopard and now the videos won't play in Iphoto. Software update is up to date, tried to manually install Quicktime again but it won't let me as it's already on the HD. Tried to delete it and try again but it doesn't seem to be working. Some help would be appreciated.
    Cheers,

  • Windows media player embedded(?) in website won't play

    Hello! For some reason, the audio files on some forums won't play. For example, the audio file in first post here shows the controls for windows media player, but nothing works except for the volume slider:
    http://masterrussian.net/mforum/viewtopic.php?t=8393
    I looked over the list of installed plugins and everything seems to be in order. Can you help?

    Works just fine for me and I don't even have Windows Media Player for Mac on my computer or Flip4Mac WMV Player - but if you don't have that you might want to try it out. Flip4Mac WMV Player - with just playback functionality is completely free and is now being distributed by Microsoft to Mac users since it pulled the plug on future development of Windows Media Player.
    You might want to make sure you have proper codecs installed.
    Try AC3 Codec for Mac OS X (can Google it) for sound
    for video you can use Divx 6 for Mac OS X - make sure you have QuickTime properly installed.
    make sure before and after you make a major installation that you run Disk Utility to ensure your hard drive continues to work okay.
    Flip4Mac WMV Player lets you playback Windows Media files using Apple's QuickTime plugin.
    What browser are you using? and what version? Is it Safari? Firefox? Internet Explorer?, Opera etc?
    Also make sure iTunes is running correctly on your Mac - by default it is used most often to handle mp3 files. Hope this helps!

  • Video says it won't play on iphone 4s

    bought and downlaoded hd video to my itunes library. Go to move it to my Iphone 4s and get message saying it won't play on this iphone.

    Try resetting all settings/ restore the phone. But be sure to backup. These steps are the usual resolutions. I don't really know anything else that would solve this issue. I'm trying to look for an article for this but it didn't help. Maybe you can try searching youtube forums.

  • Video player - iPad won't play! Help?

    HHi, my i player won't play, nothing will not play all of a sudden? Any solutions greatly appreciated! Thanks jo

    Try closing the Videos App and reset the iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset 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.

  • Video clip previews won't play.

    Videos won't play in Adobe Premiere Elements 10, but play fine in other programs on my computer. I've tried rendering it, installing a new hard drive for scratch disk, and saving the file in different locations. Once when I applied video merge to a clip, it played. I am editing videos blindly and can't take advantage of most of the features of the program. It's really frustrating. Any ideas?

    adelante
    What is the video card/graphics card that your computer with Premiere Elements 10 uses?
    If it is NVIDIA GeForce, then you have the well known and documented Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue which is remedied by rolling back
    the driver version to about May 2013. Please review the following
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE10: NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    as well as  the Announcement on this matter at the top of this forum.
    Basically you will need to plug your information into the following NVIDIA fields to determine if there is a driver version for your card that is old enough to be used.
    NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Advanced Search
    If you are a Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit user, you will probably find that old enough drivers do not exist for you. Then non NVIDIA GeForce card or Premiere Elements 11, 12, or 13.
    Please review and consider if any of the above applies to you. If not, then we will explore alternative troubleshooting.
    Thank you.

  • Video in iMovie won't play.

    I have edited an entire almost 45 minute long iMovie, but when I play it, certain videos I added and edited won't play, and the screen will stay on the picture that was shown before the video. How do I fix this?

    I too have this problem, includes when i add cutaways - the original video freezes and the cutaway never comes up.
