Embedding videos from Vimeo in Captivate 7

I like the new widget that easily lets me put multiple youtube videos in a module.
However, some clients prefer to use Vimeo, and I'm not finding a way to do that.
thanks,

We still use Captivate 6 but we found a widget that works with Vimeo's embed code: http://captivatedev.com/2012/08/07/adobe-captivate-6-x-widget-web-page-widget/
It's supposed to work with 7 as well, but I haven't tested it yet.

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? =/

Embedded videos from Viddler unable to play

I have been having this problem for quite some time now and it finally bugged me enough to post about it. Anyway, on the Gawker Media sites (specifically Deadspin for this example) embedded videos from Viddler show a "Video not found" error message. However, if you get the link from the video and watch it directly it works fine. Also if you go to viddler.com and watch any video, they work fine. It appears as though something is messed up in how Firefox handles the embedding of the videos. Not sure if it is an HTML5 thing, a Gecko thing, or what but it works fine in G0ogle Chrome.
Here is a link of an example of what I am talking about:
http://deadspin.com/5833185/espn-is-airing-a-tv-commercial-for-grantland
and if you get the link for the video and go to it directly it works fine:
http://cdn.static.viddler.com/flash/as3/full-publisher.swf?ref=&key=8ed093e8
The actual link was:
http://www.viddler.com/embed/8ed093e8/
but I had to change it to
http://www.viddler.com/player/8ed093e8/
based on advice from:
http://www.viddler.com/forums/bugs/7491/
I am running Firefox v7.b1 and I tried it both with and without my add-ons enabled. My Flash and all other plugins are up to date. I had the exact same problem with Firefox v6 as well. Please fix this issue. Thanks

Based on rschmitty's reply, I attempted a clean install. This seems to fix everything. Not sure where, when, or how something got screwed up, but this is a fairly simple fix. It even continued to work after installing all my add-ons.
After a little research I did find a couple things that can cause this to mess up. Viddler is very picky about their hotlinking and tries to control who links to their videos. Thus if you go to about:config and change the network.http.sendRefererHeader (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.http.sendRefererHeader) to anything other than the default of '2' that messes up any video links from Viddler, not just the links on Gawker Media websites. This change is often required by websites like http://crazedlist.org/ or any other mass craigslist searching sites. Just remember that if you change the network.http.sendRefererHeader option, you must change it back for videos to work.
Another thing that can screw with the Viddler video linking are add-ons which basically do the same thing as modifying the network.http.sendRefererHeader option. One such add-on is [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/refcontrol/ RefControl], which if you change from anything but the default will cause the 'Video Not Found' error. If you use add-ons like RefControl be sure to add viddler.com to your whitelist/normal referer list so that this doesn't happen.
This is not an exhaustive list of things which can cause this problem, but it appears that anything like the two above examples which mess with the http referer header will cause it. Maybe reinstalling is not necessary if you simply check anything that may be modifying this option.

Embedded videos from various websites no longer load

embedded videos from various websites no longer load. i just get a black mini screen with no controls. they do load when using other browsers and this only started within the last few days

i just tried safe mode and that makes no difference. the videos that do not load are ones embedded in websites such as the huffingtonpost etc. the website loads as normal. when i click on an article with a video the article appears but the area where the video usually appears is just a black box. typically that box contains a "promo shot" and video operating controls. recently this area is just black. this happens on numerous news type websites. when i use safari as my browser everything works fine

Adding a video from vimeo

Is there anyway of adding or embedding a vimeo video in an email?

Sorry, you can't do that. However, from the vimeo web site FAQ:
You can share a video with anyone, even people who are not members of Vimeo. Move your mouse over the video window. This will bring up the video controls. Click the 'Share' button. Now you can enter email addresses for non-members or Vimeo members' user names. Add a personal message if you'd like, then click the 'share' button. They will receive an email with a link to your video. That's it!
Aside from this being your only option for now (and the best one), embedding video in email is problematic from the standpoint of it taking up all your resources when it tries to play it from Mail; that's not what Mail was designed for.

Embed videos from Vimeo

Hi
I got this code from Russ earlier, and it worked fine:
Create the button and open the code panel for that button. Create a click action. Within the code panel, paste this:
var youtubevid = $("<iframe/>");
sym.$("vcontainer").empty().append(youtubevid);
youtubevid.attr('type','text/html');
youtubevid.attr('width','425');
youtubevid.attr('height','350');
youtubevid.attr('src','http://www.youtube.com/embed/ykF1y2EJ2nI'); // url/Video_Id
youtubevid.attr('frameborder','1'); // 1 | 0
youtubevid.attr('allowfullscreen','0'); // 1 | 0
What that does is empty the existing vcontainer, and places a new one with the new youtube video. You can add this to as many buttons as you like, obviously changing the URL ID for each, and it Should swap the video for you on click.
But how would it look like with an embedded Vimeo-player?

Embedding Video from 3rd Party in Muse

I am trying to embedd a third party video to my site and have been unsuccessful. I first tired to use a Lightbox & Object-->Insert HTML and well, I could not control where & the size of the screen that appeared on my page. Help! Tried everything I know. Just a note, I am not a programmer just a learning to use Muse and have created 2 sites thus far, but this is the first time I have to embed a video from a news site (not youtube).
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Thanks for the reply Brad. I am getting the script from bloomberg tv & vimeo. The links & code I found online are below...what am I doing wrong? My video window is too big & it floats radomly all over the screen. Also, when I try to limit the screen size in html, it only shows part of the screen in the window:

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

Streaming videos from Cloudfront in Captivate 6

Hi,
I'm really hoping someone out there can explain this to me in as simple a way as possible.
I have a large project with 10 video files at various points throughout the course. I've run some tests with the videos set to progressively download, but they're not buffering very well. The video will pause to download (as expected), but as soon as it plays again it skips ahead to a later point in the video. The longest video is 2 minutes and I've managed to keep the file sizes around 10 to 20MB.
Since the progressive download route is failing dismally, I'm trying to set the videos up for streaming. We already use Amazon S3 and I have now enable Cloudfront as well. I've set up a dedicated bucket on S3 with some video files in it and edited the ACL accordingly (everyone can "read" the contents). Then I've created a distribution on Cloudfront.
The setup in Captivate for a video looks like this:
Video Type: Streaming Video
URI: rtmp://xxxxxxxxxx.cloudfront.net/cfx/st
Stream Name: mp4:Video 1.f4v
Autoplay = Yes
Auto Rewind = Yes
I've tried using an mp4 video. I've followed the workaround instructions here: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2011/03/workaround-for-video-streaming-issues-in-captivat e.html. And, I've tried a few variations. Nothing has worked yet. If anybody has managed to work with Cloudfront and Cp6 and can provide step by step instructions for making it work, I'd really appreciate it if you could share your wisdom.
I wouldn't be surpirsed if I'm missing something obvious - e.g. I'm previewing in a browser (pushing f12 in Captivate) - should that work or should i be publishing and running the course from a server in order for the videos to show up?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rod and Anjaneai,
I've tested the video again as an mp4 with all lower case and no spaces (just underscores) and still had no luck. I tried three Stream name variations: video_1 / video_1.mp4 / mp4:video_1
If the setup that I had above for the video type and URI is right, then maybe the problem lies on the Cloudfront side. Here's what I did there...
In S3, I created a new bucket at the top level as xyz-abc and put the video_1.mp4 in there. I edited the ACL to make the folder and sub-folders readable to everbody.
In Cloudfront, I then created a Streaming (not download) distribution and pointed it at xyz-abc.s3.amazonaws.com
The distribution is Enable and Deployed.
From there I added the video to my Cp 6 slide as an event video "already deployed to a server..." and put the following in to the URL field rtmp://xxxxxx.cloudfront.net/cfx/st and hit OK.
The Video is inserted with the following message: "Failed to load the video file. The file path or the URL may be invalid." I just said yes and fixed up the URI and so on under the video properties to match the setup in my original post (with the appropriate variations for the mp4 video instaed of f4v).
I tried to use the detect size feature, but that gives the same Invalid URL message.
I haven't once managed to import the video without seeing the error message, so that probably has a lot to do with why it's not working.
Please could you see if you can spot where I'm going wrong?
Thanks
Paul

Stopping embedded video from loading multiple times

Hi,
just started using Edge Animate. I have some experience with Flash and After Effect so the layout is pretty familiar to me. I have no background in coding so I am very happy that it generates codes for me.
My goal is to make a simple html5 site with links / embedded videos to my contents (500 and vimeo). I copied some codes used for Youtube embedding, sub'd the url with vimeo url, and it worked fine. I used a "play video" button on the main page to trigger loading the video page (see my code below).
It worked great the first time I clicked the button and went to the video page. However, upon returning to the main page, and click the "play video" button again, a duplicate copy of the video is loaded right below the video loaded upon first click. This occurs for as many times as I click the play video button.
Anyone knows how to fix this?
Thanks
Pako
sym.play("VideoPage");
var youtubevid = $("<iframe/>");
sym.$("vcontainer").append(youtubevid);
youtubevid.attr('type','text/html');
youtubevid.attr('width','500');
youtubevid.attr('height','375');
youtubevid.attr('src','vimeo code');
youtubevid.attr('frameborder','0');
youtubevid.attr('allowfullscreen','0');

Adjust the line
     sym.$("vcontainer").append(youtubevid);
to this
    sym.$("vcontainer").empty().append(youtubevid);
The addition of the empty() method is to make sure it clears out the container on successive clicks.

Embedded videos from Youtube in firefox are black with sound. In Safari, they view just fine. What is the problem?

I created a Google site at the office and put two videos from youtube in the site. I did this using an earlier version of Firefox and they worked just fine.
Tonight I am using Firefox 9.01 and the two videos are black (no video) but have audio.
They are fine if I open Safari and view.
What could be the problem?

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

How can I prevent embedded videos from playing automatically when I open a webpage?

When I go to a web page, such as when I click around to different stories on msn.com, there is often an embedded video. Sometimes it is a commercial. Sometimes it's something else. But it just starts playing all by itself, which can be loud and startling. I'd like videos to play only when I select them. Is there a way to make it prevent the auto-play?

You can look at: Stop Autoplay: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1765

Embedded videos won't load - Captivate 7

I've embedded several videos into an e-learning lesson using the Insert Video function (not the Youtube interaction). After publishing, the videos load just fine when the lesson is played from the folder to where it was published. However, when I move the lesson (and all associated folders such as assets, etc) onto the server using SFTP to make these available on our intranet, the e-learning launches, but none of the videos will load. The loading message just hangs and refreshes.

If you're trying to run this content from a network LAN server then your issue is almost certainly going to be due to Flash Global Security:

Either set up to trust the LAN server or else serve your content from a web server over HTTP.
