Embedding Video Files in PowerPoint

I'm having an issue with playing avi files within a PowerPoint presentation on a PC. I saved the files as .avi files, put them in a file folder, zipped it and sent it to my server. When my friend pulls it down, she can't see the videos in the presentation. If she clicks on an actual video clip, she doesn't get anything back.
If someone knows how to do this on PC, I would love hear it.
Thanks.

java.lang.NullPointerException
i met this error every time if i compile a "BIG " project.（with 1G+ image resources）.   And also ,if you import 500+ images into Flash CS ...you know ,its prefix is "Adobe".
i guess , it's because somebody not like "BIG " thing.
So..on 32bit windows platform ..i upgrade my JVM to 1.7 ,and..modified -XSS value . it will help us ..but not 100% resolved.
Finally ,i upgrade to 64bit platform ..this problem seems gone.
I think ,it's because of the bad RAM Manager of JVM. on 32bit windows machine .it's only can manager 1024M ram .(such a stupid VM).   And on 64bit platform ..JVM seems to be d normal.

Embedding video file format in Edge, auto play video

When embedding video in Edge, does it need to be mp4 file format? And once video is embedded, how do you get it to play automatically?

Use mp4 and ogg.
Ogg or ogv is for Firefox
mp4 for other browsers
You can convert to ogg on the FF site here: Firefogg - video and audio encoding for Firefox

Help Exporting Embedded Video Files From Flash

I am new to Flash and this may sound, well dumb but here it goes. I have taken some video files from Final Cut Pro converted them to FLV's imported them and embedded them into flash to create some banners for the web. I need to know what settings I should use to get these out of Flash for the web.
Also I need to send them to someone to look at before publishing. What would be the best format to do that in and how to do it.
Also has anyone has any experience creating banners in or online ads in a Video format like FCP and embedding them into a flash file to export them in flash for we publishing. Sorry again for the dumb question, just new to Flash.

Is there a reason why you embedded the video in Flash rather than using the FLV player?
Starting with the video, since you have the source you can create any type of format you need from that which can be used for preview or the final version depending on where it's going to end up and what is required or preferred. Flash comes into play if the requirement is to have a SWF/FLV other than some other video format, or if you have other Flash content going on at the same time besides the video.
But using Flash for this, the most stratghtforward way is to use the FLV player included with Flash (or another 3rd party player) and point it to your FLV.

Why won't YouTube embedded video play from PowerPoint?

I have followed the normal process to embed video in PowerPoint 2010 (32 bit), and playback worked without issues a couple of months ago. Now it does not. I have completed all of the troubleshooting tips, and reinstalled latest FlashPlayer 32-bit, etc. When I go to play the embedded video in PPT, the following message appears:
"To play the selected item, you must install a later version of the Adobe Flash Player. To download the Adobe Flash Player, go to the Adobe website."
There does not appear to be any settings changed in browser (IE / Chrome), Windows Media Player, or PowerPoint.
Need a solution.

I went back to the embedded video code from YouTube, captured it and pasted it into the "insert video from Web site" and then deleted both "version=3" instances in the code:
<object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/od8cUvPyvsg?hl=en_US&version=3&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/od8cUvPyvsg?hl=en_US&version=3&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
That seemed to do the trick!
Many thanks for that help. Not sure what caused prior embedded videos to no longer play - that still is baffling, because I hadn't done anything with the code until today.
Gracias!

Embedded video file

Hi, I've been given a PDF with a video file embedded in it. Is there anyway I can export the video file out of the PDF?
Thanks

The obvious question is "do you have permission?".
Adobe software intentionally does not include the ability to extract video content from a PDF document and save it to a file - there are some third-party tools which could inspect the PDF structure, find the embedded data and save it to file, but none of them are free. It's supposed to be difficult, because many PDF document authors use the embedded rich media annotation specifically to prevent people getting their hands on the "raw" footage.

Mail 5.3 no longer embeds video files

Running Lion 10.7.5 and Mail 5.3 and Adobe Flash 11.5.502.136: mail won't embed video files – message "Blocked Plug-in."

Regarding Mac Mail "Blocked Plug-in" situation when trying to embed a video in an email message, through the Safari "Mail Page Contents" or "Email this Page" — depending on whether you're running Safari 5 or 6 — the following will work for YouTube videos only (the ones which have been formatted to support HTML5 playback, as well as Flash:
Download and install a nifty Safari Extension, "FlashtoHTML5": http://www.joris-vervuurt.com/page3/page3.php
Once installed, launch Safari and go to Preferences | Advanced | Extensions (Safari 5) or Preferences | Extensions (Safari 6) and enable FlashtoHTML5. You will then be able save the page with the video in Mac Mail, provided the particular video supports HTML5. It won't work, if you copy the YouTube embeded code and clone your own video to drag or mail the page content into your email message. The YouTube code with Flash player language, unless converted by FlashtoHTML5 to a HTML5 player version of the video, will cause Mac Mail / iCloud Mail to block the extensions plug-in.
As far as video playback on the web page goes, the HTML5 extension will automatically switch back to Flash Player, if the particular video does not support support HTML5.

Embedded video files only play audio

The newest version of Keynote (v. 4) in iWork '08 will only play the audio portion of video files I add to it. The first frame of the video shows in the navigator panel, and the files show up and are viewable in the media browser. The selection handles for the video files are visible but that's all. This version also doesn't show the video content created in previous versions of keynote. In version 3 files I'd had .avi and .mov files that worked fine. I've checked the quicktime settings in system preferences to make sure that they were set properly. Suggestions?

After posting the original question about the newest version of Keynote (v. 4) in iWork '08 only playing the audio portion of video files I add to it, I tried every possible fix.
Since I'd been using a newer PCI video card recently, I tried just hooking up the monitor to the AGP video card that was still installed and it solved the problem.
If anyone is considering using Keynote v.4, make sure that you have either an AGP or PCI express slot for the graphics card you use since a regular PCI graphics card won't support video or animation files you add to Keynote.

How can I show embedded video in powerpoint on phone?

I have embedded video in my powerpoint using Office 365 on my desktop.
The video plays fine on my desktop but it does not play on my phone. It
simply shows the video as a picture. Does anybody know what the problem is? Thanks.

Hi
Did you use Windows Phone? Iphone? or Andriod?
Remember to click Insert(rather than link to a file) when you try to insert a video.
Convert the format of your video to avi to check the issue.
Since it is the forum to
discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Outlook, better to post your question to the forum for your certain phones:

Embedding video in PPT

I need to create a multimedia presentation, a script that includes some brief video as well as audio clips. The script will be created in Adobe Story, converted to PDF, imported into PowerPoint (where the audio and video are to be added), then once again converted to PDF to be uploaded onto a podcast channel.
I assume that I can create the video files with iMovie, which I have only used once or twice before, or perhaps Quicktime, which I have never used to create files, only to view them. I plan to use GarageBand to create the audio. How do I get the video files into PowerPoint? Do I need a video converter? If so, what do you recommend, preferably something that's free or very inexpensive? This is for a class project, and it's not the kind of thing I'm likely to be using after the semester is over.

Hi,
you don't integrate a video, you link to a video which should be there:
http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9/24273236001 ?isVid=1&publisherID=987386875 and loking for it I get this message:
Do I look into your source code I get this:
what means something like that your videofiles are inoperative.
If the video-files are yours, I suggest again that you try it so, as I have described. Tentatively, I integrated one of my swf-files into your source code, which was successful without any problems.

How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?

I'm seeking a little guidance -
How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?
The aim is to bring together video, design, images and writing in one place. A little like Born Presents, but very accessible and user friendly.
I'm happy using InDesign but want to create interactive articles / magazines that have embeded video files as required. I've been looking at .SWF files but I've come unstuck.
I want people to view the articles via a blog, ideally with them opening in a lightbox style viewer. It's not intended for tablet viewing and people should be able to view and interact with the files with little effort on their part.
I think I know how to create these files within InDesign, but I'm not so hot on web design and I'm not sure how to host these online. Does this start coming into the realms of Flash?
If anyone could point in the right direction I'd really appreciate it - Thank you in advance.

PDF is one thing. Folios for DPS is another. There is a little bit of
overlap but not much.
The interactivity in the folio overlays panel is for DPS only.

Play/Pause button for embedded video

I'm working with an embedded video file and have set up some
basic controls. The client wants the play button to be able to go
from Play to Pause and have the button visually do this as well.
Currently I have one Play button and one Stop button. How do I do
this?
Right now I have this for the play button:
on (release) {
_root.embeddedVideo.stopped = false;
_root.embeddedVideo.play();
And for the Stop button I have:
on (release) {
_root.embeddedVideo.stopped = true;
_root.embeddedVideo.stop();
Any thoughts or ideas?

What would that look like? Right now they're loading using the following code:
btnCashCollect_btn.onRelease = function () {
      mcLoader.loadClip("CashCollections.swf",myLoader);
      btnEndPeriod_btn.enabled = false;
      btnCashCollect_btn.enabled = false;
      btnFinancialMGMT_btn.enabled = false;
      _root.btnHome_mc._visible = false;
So would I use something like:
btnPause.onRelease = function() {
     myLoader.content.pause();
Actually I just tried that and it didn't work...I need the buttons to work for multiple external swfs that will be loaded into myLoader

How do I get an embedded video in Keynote on my ipad to play when i transfer it to a pc powerpoint

Hi Everyone,
I need help I have made a keynote presentation on my ipad with an embedded video in it. I transfered it to a pc as a powerpoint and all the slides worked except the video it just was a black slide. Can you transfer it so that it will work? Do you have to embed the video in a special way.
Thanks for the help

iTunes on the iPad is a link to the store only.
It is used to buy media.
To listen to music or audio(podcasts, audiobooks) go to the music app.
For movies, tv shows or music videos you use the videos app.

Embedding a PDF file into PowerPoint 2010, clickable in SlideShow mode

If you embed a PDF file into PowerPoint slide by both draging and dropping or instering it as an object, only the first page of the PDF is embedded as a picture or you can change it to a PDF icon.
When in design mode, the embedded PDF is clickable and is opened in Adobe Reader (either from the PowerPoint slide if directly insterted or from its physical path if linked depending on the configuration).
But in slide show mode, the picture or the icon is not clickable.
The only workaround is to assign a hyperlink to the picture or the icon (the insterted object).
Is there any other way in opening a PDF file from PowerPoint Slide Show without assigning a hyperlink ??

Hi,
Assign a hyperlink is the only way to accomplish Open file (.pdf, .docx, .xlsx) from PowerPoint Slide Show.
From PowerPoint slide show, it only identify the file with hyperlink.
Best Regards.

Embedded audio and video files with Acrobat x Pro

Can an audio or video file be embedded in a document with Acrobat x Pro & opened with Adobe Reader xi?

You can place video or sound files onto the pages of a PDF file using the Multimedia button on the Tools Pane > Content Panel. The result is called a Rich Media Annotation, and will play back on the desktop versions of Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
The files have to be compatible with Flash Player, so videos need to be in H.264, FLV or F4V, and audio files in MP3.
