Embedding YT and Vimeo videos in InDesign CS 5.5

Hi, I'm having problem embedding YT and Vimeo in InDesign CS 5.5. When I use iFrame embedding , error shows up while trying to update or upload article. Can someone please walk me through process? Thanks.

For anything earlier than CS6 you’ll need to create an HTML page with the embed code in it and link to that.
If you’re working with DPS you really should consider upgrading.

After Yosemite upgrade, youtube and vimeo videos not playing

Hey not sure this will help, but I had the same problem, got errors, no video's worked.
I restarted hitting the OPTION key and chose the server drive to boot from, then repaired disk, then repaired permissions and restarted.
Youtube then worked afterwards. Hope it works for you!

Extract embedded png and jpeg files from InDesign, or do I even need to for 4/C printing?

I am creating a catalog, both as a pdf for nxtBooks (online) and they want to use the same files for printing. I don't know if it's digital or, if that would even matter. I was given and old document to pull some information and images from. Some of those images appear to be embedded into their old ID document. This is not something I have ever done, but I'm old school. To make it even better, these images are old screen shots, and no one kept the originals. They appear to be scaled down in their document, so doesn't that mean there is a larger file hiding somewhere?
On the other hand, is this necessary? I know it will be OK for online viewing, but what will happen when I create a press quality pdf? Will this cause problems for the printer?
And while I'm at it, are printers OK with linking jpegs rather than psd or tiff files? I know the color would be more accurate if I converted, but this client doesn't particularly care about exact color matching.
Thank You!

But the image does not connect to anything in the links palette. It is showing up as if it were a jpeg, png or tiff, but it sure isn't acting like it. So strange.
Pasted images don't show in the links panel. If you export the page as a PDF/X-4 and look at the image via Output Preview>Object Inspector you'll get its effective resolution, pixel dimension, and color info. Recent versions of InDesign are capable of maintaining full resolution and color properties of pasted images.
See this thread:
Copy | Paste vs. Place image: are they equivalent?
If you set the scale of a pasted image to 100% and export as PDF/X-4 with no compression or downsampling, you might be able to extract the original image from Acrobat.

Two questions, hierarchical pages and vimeo videos

just upgraded to 09 from 06 (i think, the iMovie version was 06). one of the limitations i had with the old iWeb was that a site was essentially flat with all the webpages showing at the top of the page and navigation was accomplished by clicking on the desired page.
i would like to have another level. for instance, i click on a page and that page has a different list of pages (including the one it came from). currently, i use a mixture of iWeb pages and galleries from Aperture to display my photographs. i would like to be able to do it all in one place since iWeb 09 "sees" Aperture.
suggestions?
there is a widget for inserting youtube videos, but i use vimeo. what is the best way to do that? use the html snippet widget and use the imbed code from vimeo?

There are two methods in iWeb 09 to insert YouTube videos: The YouTube widget or the HTML snippet: Adding YouTube Videos
As far a hierarchal pages, you can create you second tier pages and leave them out of the navbar but add text based hyperlinks to them in their host page. The host page could have a text based second navbar pointing to the sub pages: Text Based Navbar.
If you have a lot of pages you could add the sub pages to a second site and link to them from a page in your first site. You can add hyperlinks to get back and forth between the sites.
If you would want to include a page in each site taking the visitor to the other site create a blank page in each site, name it for the other site and add the following code to an HTML snippet on each page;
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "URL TO SITE YOU WANT TO REDIRET TO"; </script>
Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code
You would need to publish each site so you could determine what the URL needed would be for the code. That makes updating your site a little quicker since you don't have to deal with all pages, just those within the main site or sub site. Lots of ways to skin that cat.

Masking embeded snippet of Vimeo video

The first part is the domainname, the second part is the sitename, the third part is the pagename.
The characters of the last two can be changed to anything you like.
Here's a standard reply that covers most :
Read this :
     The concept of iWeb Sites
And to anticipate future questions.
To avoid the Sitename in the URL, read my solution. It's very technical but in the end it saves time. And best of all, iWeb is not involved :
     Avoiding the iWeb Sitename in the URL
An easier, time-wasting, solution is to publish to a folder on your desktop.
Open that folder and move the content of that folder to the root of the webserver with a FTP application.
Everytime you make changes to a page, you have to repeat these steps.
But the result is what you want.
And here's a re-post with some additional info about using an index.php file :
    Avoiding the iWeb Sitename in the URL
Works on all servers. With or without a subdomain I may add. Like this one :
     http://wyodor.byethost8.com/htdocs/index.html
Not as easy as publishing to a folder, but in the end it saves time. Again.
See this post that explained the link above :
Re: iWeb keeps populating a site name at the end of my url. Causing error.

Watch Vimeo video into AIR iOS app

Hi, I'm currently developing a mobile app in Adobe AIR.
I need to display a full screen video and I saw that the perfect way is to link the user to an .mp4 file into vimeo using this very basicly code:
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,fn_video);
function fn_video(e:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("myVideoOnVimeoURL.mp4"));
It works perfectly... but now my question is if there's a way to obtain the direct URL of a video into Vimeo.
From the web site it is possibile... but I need to obtain that path automatically.
AS3, PHP, JavaScript...doesn't matter the language, I only need a code to study on.
Cheers
Bran

I'm not certain about the rules for using Vimeo feeds outside of Vimeo, but read this discussion:

YouTube and Vimeo problems with Apple TV

Hello,
I own a MacBook Pro with retina display and the most recent version of Yosemite is installed, and an Apple TV which recently automatically updated.
In the last two weeks, I have encountered significant difficulties in trying to play YouTube or Vimeo videos whilst connected to my TV with AirPlay. This issue was not present earlier, and I have owned the Apple TV since September and successfully watched both YouTube and Vimeo videos on extended desktop or by mirroring desktop on many occasions before.
The problem manifests itself as a constant buffering of the video, and will never play. As soon as you disconnect the MacBook from AirPlay the video plays immediately and completely normally. Connect back to AirPlay, and the problem present itself again.
I use Chrome as a browser, but have tried it recently with Safari and I am encountering the same problem.
Can anyone help?

Nevermind with this problem. I saw the other post where someone mentioned updating via wireless rather than wired ethernet. After using the wireless, the update was completed successfully and youtube started working as well.

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 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

How to embed Vimeo Video (URL/embed code) to InDesign interactiv PDF (A4 Format)?

Hi there, I am looking for a way to embed a vimeo.com Video into my C.V.
I copied the embed code on the vimeo site and pasted it into my InDesign document and added the "http:" in the HTML code. When I select the object and click on the Folio Overlay panel to Preview on Desktop I get the following Error:
"The page size aspect ratio must match the folio aspect ratio."
I triied resizing the frame of the pasted embed code to the page size of my PDF and resized the object itself within the frames to the page width afterwards but nothing stopped InDesign from givin me this error message.
I am using CS 6 and I cannot place the video file in the indesign document itself for pdf file size reasons as u might understand.
What am I doing wrong? Can I even use the DPS tools to embed a vimeo video to my A4 PDF at all? Is there a different way to embed the vimeo link? (I don't want to upload my video as an swf file on a server and link to it for several reasons, but if there is no other solution I will go for that.)
Please help!
Johnny

I am triing to create an interactive A4 PDF document. Which I then wanna send to companies as my job application via email. I want it to be an interactive pdf because there are hyperlinks on the first page and because of the vimeo link but I also want it to be A4 because it is the formal regulation for a job application in my country.

Embedded Vimeo video not displaying in Safari 5

I recently embedded a vimeo video into the home page of my iweb website. It displays on most browsers and earlier versions of Safari, but not with Safari 5. Are others running into this problem? Do you have any suggestions?

It works for me with Safari 5. Do you have ClicktoFlash installed for Safari? Does this Vimeo embedded video load for you: Embedded Vimeo Video

Embedded vimeo video playing again after clicking "done".

On my personal website, and others I have visited, an embedded Vimeo video will play again from the from I last stopped at after clicking "done" to exit full screen mode. Have not being able to tell if this is an iOS 8 problem or a Vimeo problem. This is from within Safari and NOT the Vimeo app.
On mobile you can see the issue here: www.davidnitzsche.com
EDIT: After a test from a friends phone not running iOS 8 the issue was not present. This appears to be an iOS 8 issue.
Thanks!

Having Problems Embedding Vimeo Video

Hello I'm having problems embedding an vimeo video onto my website.
I have used this same method for the last two year but for some reason the last few days it won't let me do it.
which has resulted with me reinstalling Dreamweaver twice resetting the preferences.
the problem started originally the program wound not link to animated Gif files so i reinstalled the program after a lot of messing around.
this seems to do the trick but as a result the program won't embed vimeo video.
I've been going the standard way about it.
Draw an Ap Div tag clink inside got to code page and paste the embedding code into the place where the cursor is.
which it looks ok in the design view then in live view the video does not appear. its same with safari and with Crome the div tag appears but no video in the tag and a message saying the file directory found not be found.
i would be really grateful if someone could help me out with this.
its totally baffled me and all the online help is very poor for this problem.

Embedded Vimeo videos play when published on desktop but won't show up online

I have a site that I updated recently … when I finished revising in iWeb and published it to my URL none of the embedded Vimeo videos show up. According to Vimeo customer support, and my web host, there is "no code or file" in the space where the video/html snippet should be. Tried rebuilding pages from scratch, still no video. Same process worked before and my site was functioning fine until I made this most recent update. Any reason why embed code would work prior to update, and not now? Why it finds the video when published to a folder on my desktop, but not when it's published to URL? Working with iWeb 3.0 and OS 10.9.4.

From your statements I guess that you put the files on the server yourself.
Make sure that you put ALL the files and folders on the server.
And why not provide a link to the page?
