Encore CS6 Flash Export problem, Grey screens

Hi everyone,
I am having a problem with my encore CS6 flash exports, they are not behaving as expected online (seems to be like a loading issue).
I've tried exporting FLV and F4V and the problem is the same. The same project exported from CS5.5 does not produce this undesirable
problem. It may be important to say that the project was started in CS5.5.
I have a button that links to another menu, and I am using videos as 'transitions'. The videos are dynamic after effects compositions.
When it's online, and you press the button it fills the canvas with a 'grey screen' before starting the video transition. This totally breaks
the experience and feels like an authoring error. It would be important to note, that this screens only appear the first time you see the flash.
Somehow the next time you press it doesnt show it.
I would happily go back to CS5.5 but I started using auto-activate buttons that are only available on CS6 flash exports.
Any ideas what has changed between this versions flash exports?
Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks in advance,
Cris

Encore CS6 6.0.2.004, IE9, Win7
Simple project, DVD NTSC, One menu with one button. One timeline. Menu first play, button linked to timeline.
Output flash with flv (and again with f4v - same results), No template, keep with flash swf rather than streaming.
Open index.html locally, must manually enable active content. Menu opens, movie plays. No grey screen.
Copy entire folder to USB, same result; USB plays on a different PC also.
Upload to web site; same result.
Am I doing soething differently from either of you? Are you using templates?
Factors related to flash security (for local and probably USB playback) can be problems. Various server settings can be problems for on line.

Encore CS6 Flash Export problem

Hey There!
I am having a problem with my encore CS6 flash exports.
The DVD menus are shown the right way in the browser but, when I select a video to be played, the flash player shows me the video controls but no video. The background stays grey. I've tried exporting FLV and F4V and the problem is the same.
It looks like the link in the XML is not good. The videos are in the folder exported by Encore and they play well in VLC. Do you have to edit the XML file to make this work? I guess not...
Maybe reinstalling everything? Because from my perspective, it looks like it is an easy procedure and it should work.
Any help would be appreciated!
My specs:
- Mac Pro late 2013 with Maveriks 10.9.4
- Safari 7.05
- Encore CS6

The Encore structure puts the flv in a "sources" subdirectory under the level with the index.html.
As long as the user has not modified anything, the path should be okay.
Nicolas, confirm that the directory with index.html file also has a subdirectory called "sources," and that that is where the flv/f4v is.
My suspicion for many users with a local, but not web problem, are having a local permissions issue.
One user reported fixing a similar problem by removing odd characters in the filenames. The theory was that the characters were breaking the xml linking.

My macbook has question mark flashing on a grey screen and no functions, my macbook has question mark flashing on a grey screen and no functions

Hi
My MacBook has a question mark flashing on a grey screen and no functions, help?

That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'llsee a panel asking you to choose your language. Just press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

Use RECOVERY MODE.
Boot from another drive with a copy of OS X too is always good.
A Safe Boot at a minimum.

CS6 flash exports use 1 motion transition for all instances?

I'm using Encore CS6 OSX10.8.4. I have 1 main menu, 1 sub menu, 2 simple motion transitions. One to the sub menu and one back to main. Both only 1 second long created in AE 5.5 rendered as .mov files.
Everything looks good in the preview option. Exported to DVD and everything works fine. Export to flash and it plays only one motion transition in both cases.
I tried replacing the referenced motion video that was not recognized another and the same results. Happens in both FLV and F4V exports.
Any ideas on how to correct this? There are no special characters in my project file asset names. Tried it in chrome and firefox. Redid a new Encore file and same outcome.
I wan to use flash export to keep higher resolution than SD so I can take a screen video of navigating through the menus and use that high res video as part of a portfolio for a potentical job.
Any Help is much appreciated

There are some limitations to flash export, but I don't recall this coming up. No time to test at the moment.

20" imac won't start up-flashes between blank grey screen and black screen

20" imac
2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Was running system 10.5.8 just fine. Worked great.
But then I wanted to give the imac to a relative. And so, I tried to boot from the original grey mac install dvd to wipe the hardrive and set the imac back to factory specs.
But it wouldn't boot off the dvd. All It would do at restart was to flash slowly back and forth between blank grey screen and black screen. So, I tried the Leopard update dvd. Same results. So I zapped the pram and tried again. Same results.
If I just pushed the start button tho.. the imac would start right up and run fine. However, I didn't want to give it to someone else with all our information on it.
I finally restarted it and held the "T" key to turn it into a giant firewire drive, hooked it up to our other 20" imac, and used the disk utility from the second imac to erase the drive of the first imac. Then I inserted the grey install dvd into the second imac and selected the drive of the first imac and ran the install process.
Now, the first imac won't start up at all. Just a continual grey screen for a bit, than a couple of buzz sounds in the machine and then the black screen... than back again.
It ran great before I erased the drive and re-installed OS 10.5
What's wrong? How do I get the machine to either boot off the install cd?

So, I've figured out a little more on the first machine. It's a 20" 2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.5.8.
It ran great. But, I wanted to erase the hard drive and reinstall the OS system before giving it to a relative.
I found that although the optical drive would read and write to normal cds and dvds, the machine would NOT boot from the grey start-up disks I had on hand. ( I have two imacs, and I tried both sets of dvds without success.)
I zapped the PRAM, and used disk utilities via firewire connection from my other 20" imac to check the hardrive and make repairs. Disk Utilities couldn't find any problems. So, using disk utilities from the other imac, I erased the first imac's harddrive and then used the install dvds on the second imac to install the original OS to the hard drive of the first imac.
(looking on the hard drive of the first imac, I can see all the contents)
However, the first machine will not start up. It just switches from grey....to black..... then grey..... and then black again.... over and over
Why won't it boot from the newly installed OS on it's own hard drive?
And Why won't it boot from the original install dvds?
How can I get it to start up again?

Another Flash export problem

I placed chapter marks in my videos in Encore, then exported to Flash. During replay there is a pause/glitch at the chapter marks, accompanied with a brief display of teh playback controls. So, if you want to use the Flash feature, don't include chapter marks int eh video.
Something similar happens in slide shows and Flash. The playback controls pops up briefly each time a slide changes.
It there a way around this or do we have to wait for either an Encore or Flash update?

It looks like the pause at chapter marks is a known issue and does not seem to be considered to be a bug.
Link: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/EncoreDVD/4.0/WS130B1F01-AE62-4c59-BA44-F29ACD8522EEa.html
The article didn't mention anything about the playback controls popping up.

Encore CS6 First Play problem

Long-time Adobe user with CS6 Master Collection. Not come across this one before, though.
Simple Encore project using 3 PPro sequences via Dynamic Link.
Set up so a 20 sec video plays automatically then drops into a static menu offering choice of two timelines.
All tests OK, previews in Encore OK, and builds OK.
HOWEVER, the resulting DVD skips the intro video and starts with the menu, despite the intro video being set as First Play and testing OK inside Encore.
I've built the project from scratch twice now with the same result.
Any hints as to cause and cure?

OK. I eventually tracked it down.
Before adding the intro element, I started with the menu. When I added the intro movie, all looked good on the flowchart and it played OK in Encore, but, as I explained initially, when burned to DVD playback started with the old menu, not the new first play.
I tried deleting Encores preferences (start with SHIFT+CONTROL) to no effect.
I tried adding STOP at the end of menus, to no effect.
I also tried a variety of other first play items, but the DVD always started with the non-first-play menu.
Eventually I looked at the project properties and found that the title button and main timeline were still pointing at the original first-play menu item, not the one currently selected. Changing the main timeline had no effect, but changing the Title Button to the new first-play timeline finally solved my problem.
It seems possible that there is an issue with updating all relevant items in Encore CS6 (Windows, fully updated) when changing first play. Or am I missing something that makes it my fault here?

Booting problem (grey screen with spinning wheel) PLEASE HELP!!

I have and ibook G4, i shut it down the other day and whent to school, when i got home, i tried booting it up, but its just goes to the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel, and doesnt go any further. i can hear the computer thinking, it that helps at all, but the weel just keeps spinning and it never gets to the login screen.

Hi,
Try starting in Safe Mode by holding the shift key as you start. Release it when you see the logo and spinning progress indicator. If successful restart normally.
If that doesn't work please post the version of OS X you are using (Panther,Tiger,Leopard) for more trouble shooting suggestions.

Flash buttons problems when screen text set to medium in Windows 7

Anyone else have this problem that when
users have set windows 7 to Medium 125% screen size (not screen resolution), the clickable area on all buttons
in a flash menu/file are off. It's like the area to click for the button is not resized with the graphics and are no longer located over the button but stays where it is when screen size is set to 100%. With a more complicated menu, it makes it nearly impossible to click buttons at the bottom of the menu as the clickable area is located twoor more buttons up. It also seems to be happening with newer Flash files. On older versions it's not happening and the clickable area is scaled with the graphics in the Flash file. Please help!

CS6 pdf export problem

Hi,
I'm working on an 80pg magazine and I usually have to export certain pages on their own for client approval. It seems in CS6 I am unable to choose specific pages? in the PAGES input I chose 'Range' 'Custom V' then 'pages'.. but I never get anywhere that comes up to input a page number. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated!

I can't recall exactly where I read this, but my memory is that when you have alternate layouts, you need to use this syntax for a page range:
It's a form of section numbering.

PS CS4 PROBLEM grey screen no matter what I do PLS HELP!

So I installed PS CS4 and all updates. When I create a new file or open an existing one the window (in the PS window) which is supposed to show the photo just stays grey. At the same time that little picture in the layers tab showing a small version of the picture Ive opened is clearly visible and changes if I draw on the big one. That problem occurs both in 32 and 64 bit versions of PS. Im using windows vista x64 ultimate with latest updates and Nvidia 8800GT 512 mb with latest drivers.
Screenshot:

P.S: this is what happens if I minimize and then maximize the PS window without doing anything else:

Render Queue FLV-flash export problem

Someone please tell me what am I doing wrong:
If I export my work to Flash Video via Render Queue, AE makes twice the file size copared to exporting it via File>Export>Flash Video(FLV).
I DO use the same exact setings of course,... and in Render Queue there is a calculation on the botom when you go and fix the settings - "size of data"/second. If I calculate that it's exactly right. But I only get that file size if I export it via File>Export>Flash Video(FLV) and not trough Render Queue.
Is that some kind of a bug in AE? What am I doing wrong??
(There is just too much work to not use the Render Queue)
I use:
Windows 64 bit
Core 2 quad
8gb ram
Adobe AE CS3 8.0.2.27
Thanks,
Met

Yes I am,... but I am doing exact same thing via File>Export>Flash Video(FLV). I am also embeding alpha there.
Like I said,... in both cases I went trough the setings (several times) just to make sure I am actualy using identical setings.
I do need the transparancy ; )
thanks
Any other suggestions??

InDesign CS6 PDF export problem

I have tried to export to print-ready PDF a fairly straightforward A4 advet. There's nothing complicated or unusual about the file - its based on ones we've successfully done previously.
However, this one give me a 'FAiled to Export the PDF file' error - but nothing more. I have tried restarting the Mac but to no avail.
Any ideas?

What Mac? What PDF settings? What fonts, paragraph styles, linked files, other fancies? You will have to provide a lot more info. in any case, ask in the ID forum...
