Embedding Video in In Design

I understand that you cannot embed a video within In Design and export as a SWF. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to embed a URL from Vimeo or YouTube that includes the video and have it play normally within the SWF when exported. Or any other ways around this? Thank you!

I inserted the following HTML code that I gleaned from
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5087131  -
Can't Place Captivate 6 swf or html5 File into Muse v3.2.
The code is:
<object width="1024" height="768"
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://www.learndurkin.com/assets/infographics-history.swf/ version=8,0,0,0">
<param name="SRC" value="assets/captivate6_file.swf">
<embed src="assets/captivate6_file.swf" width="1024" height="768"></embed>
</object>
I also uploaded the .swf file using the "Add File" function. When I publish, I get a blank white box with no video that plays. Any suggestions? Have I named the file incorrectly in the HTML code?
I feel like an idiot. I keep pounding this day after day with no solution. Hope I am writing in the correct forum.

  • Embedding video and audio for internet flipbook

    Dear All,
    first of all, sorry if it's been asked before but I could not find direct answer.
    My company, small translation agency in Poland, plans on to buy InDesign to improve quality of our output documents, but we have one more feature in mind and we don't know if InDesign CS6 supports this.
    In a movie http://tv.adobe.com/watch/cs55-design-standard-feature-tour/create-more-compelling-ebooks- with-indesign-cs55/ Terry White presents how to make an eBook with embedded video. We need a solution to create a similar effect, but the final document would be accessible from WWW (eg. http://essentialabsurdities.com/dance/ - there is no video in the example) - we want people to be able to browse content like in a book (flipbook?) and access video and audio (embedded or stored on a serwer along the document) when needed.
    Does InDesign support this? What should be the final format of such a document? Interactive PDF? SWF? Everybody says Flash is going to be retired soon (Apple does not support it, Android devices are soon to follow, the same for PCs in the nearest future probably) so we do not want to use this.
    Many thanks for your opinions on the issue.
    Best wishes,

    I have no incoming video for my Jabber account. I was doing some testing for one of my customers who had this issue. Here is what I found. I have a EX90 registered to VCS on a corporate network. I have my Jabber Express client I downloaded and installed. When I call to or from either I don't receive video on Jabber Express but I get audio from the EX90. I get Audio and video on the EX90 from Jabber. What I found when I was troubleshooting is that if you leave the call up for 30 seconds I finally start recieving video on Jabber from the EX90. After testing a few calls this happened every time. I then checked the call settings on both sides during the call. Both endpoints are experiencing 50% or so packet loss until the video started being sent to Jabber and then the packet loss dropped to 0. So I would assume there is something wrong on the Jabber Express end that is causing a 30 second or so delay when the video is being sent through the proxy. Has anyone else had this exact issue?

  • 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.

  • Size of embedded video

    I'm trying to embed a video on the page of a PDF.  No matter the size of the window I drag, when the Playback Style is set to Play content on page, the dimensions are set to 320x240 and cannot be changed unless the option Play Content in Floating Window is selected.  What really gets me is that I cannot tell the pixel dimensions of the window that I am dragging.  Without this, videos easily become pixilated,even if snap to content proportions is selected.
    Is there a setting that I do not have set to see the pixil dimensions when I originally drag the media box?... or set if afterwards?
    If not, is there a way to position a floating window to a certain area on the PDF?

    Ok, but do you see the discrepency in your last statement that is causing a bunch of headaches?  I know this is not your doing, but if Adobe is going to allow screen intent objects within print intent programs (and push the media side hard in their advertising), then they need to allow the media objects to work properly.  Not allowing the sizing of a media object that is to be embedded is a sloppy designed tool.
    However, I do appreciate your answer and insight.

  • Embedded videos do not show up on certain webstites.

    Embedded videos on certain websites (perezhilton.com) do not appear. I have downloaded Firefox's most recent update and that is when the problem started. I downloaded Google Chrome and the videos do appear and work fine on that browser.

    You may have to install additional plugins.

  • Embedded videos in many websites won't open.

    I have found that the embedded videos on many but not all websites won't open now when I'm browsing in Firefox. I am running 27.0.1. I have Adobe Flash Player installed so that's not an issue. As some examples of non-openers: Embedded videos in some of the news articles on Yahoo!'s home page; videos on the davidlynchfoundation.org site. I tried disabling the "Adblock Edge" add-on, but it didn't change anything. In many cases, their is a big empty space in the text where the video should be, i.e. there isn't any indication that there's a video there. In other cases, I click on the visible start icon, but the screen of the vid just goes to black.
    When I switched to Safari, all of these embedded videos opened without a hitch. I'd rather continue with Firefox, but will have to switch to Safari if we can come up with a "fix" for this problem.
    I have a MacBook running Snow Leopard. This is a new problem which I haven't experienced with Firefox previously.
    BTW: I have only minimal tech skills.
    Thanks for any advice/help you can provide.

    Hi Yogidave,
    It sounds like the videos are not loading properly. If there are not video controls, but there is a space for the video, this means that the item is loading, but the player is not loading.
    In understanding what you tried:
    I tried disabling the "Adblock Edge" add-on - it looks like this is no longer in the list of add ons that you have in the troubleshooting information, when you took this out, do the videos still leave space in the page where the video should be?
    The examples you used: Yahoo homepage and the davidlynchfoundation: I know the latter uses an embedded youtube video with has its own video player that uses flash, as well at Yahoo. (I am not sure if all the videos are flash in Yahoo)
    Since this is the case, can you please check your extensions to see if you have Flash installed or if you have it disabled? If so, please turn it on and visit the sites that are giving you issues to see if this resolves the problem.
    This article has pretty simple instructions how to install the player if it is not there[[Install the Flash plugin to view videos, animations and games]]
    The only other test I can suggest is to see if another type of embedded video does the same thing. For example, if you have netflix or hulu, see if those video players do the same thing.
    I hope this helps. (also I tested those pages in beta and it loads just fine, you are not short of watching videos again in firefox)

  • How do I make a thumbnail that has a gallery inside? And how can I make this gallery have embeded videos from vimeo + Images?

    Hello,
    I'm pretty new to Muse so I don't know a lot about it, but I researched a lot and didn't find an answer to this question.
    I'm trying to make a portfolio website. The website will be a 12 thumbnails. But each thumbnail is one project, not an image.
    When you click one of the thumbnails, I want it to be a lightbox that will show embeded videos from vimeo mixed with images.
    Ex: A coca-cola projet.
    Main page has a thumbnail of a coca cola image. When you click on it, it opens a lightbox with a coca-cola film, when i click to the right arrow, it shows a cocacola poster, then another poster, then another video. (but they are all part of this gallery, that is inside the thumbnail.
    Can you guys help me?
    Thanks!!!

    I don't understand why my thumbnails don't work.
    I dragged a composition lightbox inside another one. But I still have the first lightbox there and can't delete.
    When I try my wabsite i see this:
    But then I click the thumbnail and I see this:
    And when I click one of those 3 I see this:
    Like it is making a double lightbox.
    but it doesn't show the images, it's like the first lightbox is on top of the second one.
    How I deal with this?  =/

  • After updating to Flash version 11.6.602.171 - can no longer play any embedded videos..and worse

    To begin with, I'm running a clean AMD 64 Bit Windows 7 System.  Never any problems with any of my video playing scenarios - until now - with this version 11.6.602.171.
    After downloading and installing both versions - both for Firefox (other browsers) and IE, none of my browsers can play videos unless they are at their lowest resolution of 240.
    So I used the Adobe Flash Uninstaller and ensured that the last vestages of Flash Player were removed - and reinstalled - all to no avail.
    Then I downloaded the archived version of 10.3 to see if a previous version would work.  But that wouldn't work either.  None of my browsers will play videos now and I'm talking:
    IE 10
    Firefox 19.01
    Avant Browser
    Google Chrome
    Google Chromium
    Commodo Dragon
    Commodo Ice Dragon
    Opera
    Waterfox
    Pale Moon
    None will play the video.
    What you get is the video screen but unless you have a 240 option (lowest resolution), all you get is a green screen.  You hear the talking/music, but there is no picture and all the green screen does is flash.  Here's a JPG of the screen.  If you put your cursor anywhere on the progress meter (arrow) it will show you a small image of what's supposed to be playing (see below), but the screen remains green and flashes while playing.
    Now here is where it gets interesting.  When I completely uninstall Adobe Flash Player and then go to a You Tube embedded video (on any site), there first appears a screen that tells you that you need a plug-in - but then within seconds (without downloading anything), the movie starts playing normally.
    I then checked my Firewall (Zone Alarm) - turned it off temporarily - that wasn't the problem.  Then checked my latest version of Avast AntiVirus software and temporarily turned it off - that was not the problem either.  The videos still won't work and remain green unless you use the lowest resolution.
    So this new version 11.6.602.171 has become a nightmare - but I'm afraid it messed up my system big time and I don't know what to do to alleviate this.
    Crying HELP!!!!!!!!!!   Is there something I'm overlooking.  I'm now screwed - way to go Adobe for releasing such a faulty software product.

    Sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.

    @mem2013 - The Flash Player update service will not impact Flash Player's performance.  This is a separate service that runs for just an instant on your system once an hour (if you have automatic updates enabled.)  Changing it from manual to automatic shouldn't make any difference.

    Thanks for any help.

    Try clearing the Cache in Firefox.
    Tools-> Clear Recent History -> [v] Cache
    or
    Tools->Options->Advanced->Network -> Offline storage -> [Clear Now]
    Youtube may have made some changes recently. Clear the Youtube cookie and refresh page if above does not do it.

  • IPad 3-Audio no longer working Embedded videos

    Recently, I have run into the problem of embedded videos playing with no sound.  For example, if I click on a video link to YouTube  in Facebook the video plays silently.  However, the same video will play properly if I open it in a browser.  I'm not sure, but I think this began happening before the latest operating system update.  BTW, other sounds have randomly been disappearing too like the click when the cover closes.

    do a reset all settings [settings/general/reset/reset all settings] no data will be lost
    if that doesnt work then a Restore is in order
    good luck !

  • 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.

  • [Solved] embedded videos in firefox take a lot of CPU time

    Playing embeded videos in Firefox take a lot of CPU time. Actually my old computer is not able to play these videos correctly if they are in HD. The problem appears with flash videos (not so surprising, flash sucks...) but also with html5 videos (there is an option in youtube to turn that on). However if I succeed to have the direct URL, these videos play perfecrtlky fine in mplayer using not more than 10-20% of CPU time. Is there a solution to that? Is there any possibility to use an external player to play HTML5 videos in firefox? If anybody knows, Why this problem, are the mozilla folk aware of this problem? (Note that I posted a thread a long time ago for this problem but concerning flash only)

    There's not much you can do to make HTML5 videos as fast as Xv, see http://swfdec.freedesktop.org/wiki/FAQ. They are slow for the same basic reason as Flash... the video overlay cannot be used because the standard allows for controls and CSS to be rendered on top of the video.
    As for redirecting to an external player... this is not as easy as it could be. If the videos appeared in <embed> tags or <object> tags, one could use Mozplugger, Media Player Connectivity and other programs, but I don't think one has been written to handle the <video> tag. An upcoming update to firefox will make it use gstreamer, however. If this still results in slow playback, it will at least make it easier to use an external player. I imagine you would have to patch firefox to make it use a port on the localhost as the video sink instead of the screen. Then you would run gst-launch to receive that RTP stream.

  • All embedded videos in internet articles and on Youtube play sound but no picture

    My problem only started about 2 weeks ago . Before that I could directly play any video that was on Youtube or any video embedded in an internet download.
    Now the video plays, in the sense that I have sound and the elapsed-time bar moves along the bottom of the screen, but there is no video picture, just a full green screen. This applies to any video on Youtube or embedded in an internet download.
    I can still play any video that I have previously downloaded to my PC, be it Flash Video file or MP4 file.
    The players installed on my PC are the latest versions of Windows Media Player, VLC Media Player, Media Player Classic and Adobe Flash Player.
    The problem started at about the same time there was a major upgrade to my Avast free antivirus program (to version 8.0.1482) but this is probably a red herring, as I find it hard to believe that could have anything to do with the problem.
    I have also tried on Internet Explorer and the problem is just the same, so it is not Firefox specific.
    Can anyone offer a solution?
    Regards,
    Barry

    Thanks cor-el,
    I disabled protected mode in Flash, as per the instructions in the link you provided, but it made no apparent difference.
    I can't find how to disable the hardware acceleration in the flash plugin. Can you help me there?
    I did disable the Shockwave Flash plugin as a trial and immediately the videos appeared again in imbedded videos in internet downloads. Why disabling Shockwave Flash allowed these pictures to appear I don't know.
    It is not practical, however, to leave Shockwave Flash disabled because many of the embedded videos use Flash so I can't view them.

  • Embedded video in PDF shows blank

    Hi,
    I am using Acrobat 9 Pro. I have a PDF and a .mp4 video on a web-server. The mp4 is about 26 Mb in size. If I open the video on the browser (IE) it works.
    However when I embed this video in my PDF using a 'Video tool' it plays only the audio and does not show the video. I read somewhere about the file name length. the file name is ps1.mp4.
    Can someone please help resolving this.
    Thanks in adavance.

    Does this only affect one video, or every PDF you open with embedded video content?
    If the latter it is probably an issue with your video card. First, I'd try disabling hardware acceleration in Acrobat's preferences > page display, and switching to software mode on preferences > 3D and multimedia > preferred renderer.

  • Embedded Video Plays on PCs but Not Macs

    As the King of Siam declared, "It's a puzzlement."
    I'm updating a site and have embedded a .mov from the client's YouTube channel using YouTube's preferred <iframe> code. Here is the URL: http://www.realcosmetics.com/ourStory.html.
    The video will play in all of the browsers on my Win7 PC (latest Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera, and IE which also emulates IE7 & IE8). It will also play on the PCs of friends I've asked to test. It will not play from the page on any Macs where we've tested. [FYI, the .mov file was edited on a Mac and plays there.]
    It will play on the Macs, however, from the YouTube channel. And the guy who is building the Facebook page embedded the same video on a tab using the old YouTube <object><embed> code. The test Macs have no problem playing the video from the FB page.
    So, I tried switching to the old <object><embed>. Still doesn't play on the Macs, so I restored the iframe code.
    What is totally confusing is that I recently embedded videos from YouTube into another site using YouTube's <iframe> code, and the client can play those on the Macs. Both pages use the same DOCTYPE (XHTML 1.0 Transitional) and code copied from YouTube. The page validates (after I removed the allowfullscreen switch which W3C said wasn't valid under the DOCTYPE).
    I've searched online through forums and discussion threads for solutions, and while I found several that seemed to work for one person but not another (having to do with changing Mac preferences, etc.), none of those solutions worked on the test Macs.
    Any ideas from you wonderful gurus? The answer may be staring me in the face but can't see it for having stared at it for so long. The only difference between this application and the previous one that I can think of is that the host servers are not the same company.
    Thanks for pondering this!
    Chris

    Adninjastrator,
    My advice was on the back of testing in Firebug - it was there I saw the .text div overlapping the Video. The video will become 'active' if I remove the float from #rcsVideo, however there are other floats and positioning that aren't helping anything.
    To clarify, I can't get the play button to change when I hover over it (and I can't click it to play it) until I disable the float on #rcsVideo. Bizarre but that's what happens - in both FF and Chrome. No idea why this works in Windows machines without disabling the float. As you can see in the images attached, .text highlights the entire video area. Then, by disabling float:left on #rcsVideo, the text area is not covering the video.
    The video itself is direct from youtube and has a flash fallback as well as many other kinds of fallback for all machines. As such, this displays in my iPad.
