Event Video Controls -weird glitch in LMS

I have two courses - one with three event videos and one with five event videos embedded. Everything works perfectly and is completely 508 accessible except for a random glitch that seems to affect the video controls. What happens is as follows:
The tester uses the tab/enter sequence to  enter the video and play it.
The video ends and the tester chooses to play the video again without leaving the screen - at this point the play/pause button is still tabbable, but fails to respond to the enter key stroke.
I'm running Cp 6.01.240 and using the Halo_2 skin on my videos. Using any skin with separate play, pause and stop buttons had failed accessibility testing previously due to massive tabbing issues.
I'm thinking this is a server side issue that I need to address with the IT guardians of the LMS, rather than a Captivate fix, since this glitch doesn't happen on the same video or even in the same course. I've aready reloaded and resaved the videos and republished the courses (SCORM 1.2) without the bug simply reappearing in a different video each time. Any ideas?

Ajaneal:
I had turned off seamless tabbing - and it really helped the overall peroprmance of the course, leaving only this weird little glitch.
For the edification of anyone who is looking at a similar issue with an event video skin:
We tracked down the exact set of steps that led to the non-responsive play button. If (and only if) you use the mouse to move the progress bar (we were doing that to speed up the testing process) then the tab/enter sequence on the play/pause button failed. Since we were testing accessibility controls that would not include mouse use, this became a moot point and we moved on.
As far as using the main project playbar - I'm doing a lot of branching and moving users to specifiic areas of the course, and I don't want them to be able to access slides that are not part of their path. Since the main project playbar accesses all slides in a linear flow, it defeats the purpose of a branched approach.

  • Captivate 7 event video playback controls not working

    Hi,
    I'm using Captivate 7 and published an mp4 event video with limited playback controls (only play, pause, back, and close) on the slide, since the event video controls won't show up once published. When I publish the HTML5 video (with or without seamless tabbing) the controls are not working. When I click play the video plays and I can pause it, but when I want to continue play, the controls are not working.
    I tried only to use the skins (clear, corona, and halo) given with the event video, but then I can't pause the video at all, since the controls are not showing.
    We need the video to play in HTML5 mode for iPads and computers, but we're at a loss with the controls. The video has got to be limited to only play, pause, back, and close - no scrubbing or forwarding. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Nat

    I know you will hate Captivate for this. But if you are publishing to HTML5, the skins you select here won't make any difference as HTML5 output comes with its own mysterious skin which is not visible until you publish and check.
    Here is how that skin looks when viewed in Google Chrome browser on my laptop running on Windows 7.
    Here is the skin I have used for that in the Captivate editor.
    The best way to test these outputs is from a webserver or SCORM Cloud.

  • Publishing Event Video to HTML5 ?

    I have inserted an event video into a slide and uploaded an mp4 file.  When publishing the project and viewing it in a web broswer, the HTML5 output does not allow for any video controls, and as such the video does not play.
    I cannot publish the video as a Multi Slide Syncronized ideo as I have several of these videos and would like the playbar within the slides and not as a whole for the project.
    I have tried viewing the output in Firefox, IE, and Chrome and none of them work.
    Is there some step I am missing?  How can I view the playbar for each video object in HTML5?  Thanks!

    Hi Andy,
    I have the almost identical issue. I can insert the video onto the stage and select which skin/control to use, and it appears fine if I preview the project (swf), but the skin/controls do NOT appear if I publish to HTML5.
    Did you ever find a solution on your own?
    If not, it looks like I'll be stuck either with launching the mp4 video in a new window (using learner's media player) or using the auto-play to show it on stage with no controls.
    Thanks for posting this question!

  • Weird glitches after rendering

    Dear people,
    I did recently huge (for me) step from PRE 3.0 to PRE 8.0 (I hadn't know, there were 9 Version). Anyway, I had in my first video some weird artefacts after rendering my video, and I don't know, how to fix them. (With 3.0 I hadn't such problems, even if I used it already ca. 3 years for many similiar projects).
    You can see this glitch between 0:59-1:10 of my video in the upper right corner.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp40ZjZ_lQ8
    I tried it with various configurations, but it had always just various glitches. The youtube video was directly uploaded from PRE, and its quality is much more better than the glitch-full videos I exported as files. Do I do something wrong?
    To my PRE project: it contains a video and many animated text layers. In the PRE preview, before rendering, everything looks good, but the rendering disappoints me :-)
    Actually I wanted submit my video to some art video galleries, but I cannot since it's still a little bit buggy.
    I would highly appreciate any help!
    Thank you, people, in advance,
    Merzmensch

    Well, perhaps this was one of some differences to my previous videos: I usually use my Sony camcorder, but this time I used my digicam Ricoh K8. The video to this camera is fully incompatible with PRE (even if it's an AVI - I worked with another cameras before, but only with Ricoh K8 I discover incompatibility to just every video cut software), so I converted it through VirtualDub (using also MSU Cartonizer for special effects). As far as I cam recall, I converted it with Helix YUV codec, which I often use, because PRE 3.0 hadn't compatibility problems before.
    About settings of the project, which details do you need exactly? I actually used the default settings. Here I did the screenshots of every part of Project settings:
    http://s234.photobucket.com/albums/ee240/kosmopol/PRE%20settings%20Takahashi/
    (Sorry, it's German version, I hope they haven't shuffled the settings) :-)
    I have a feeling, that the problem is not with video footage, but with some PRE settings, since you can see in the glitch both levels: video and text together. Perhaps rendering failure?

  • Weird glitch in Viewer window Retina Display

    I've been successfully running Final Cut Studio in Mountain Lion on my 15" MacBook Pro with Retina display for over a week now with no major problems. I am however noticing a weird glitch in the Viewer window in FCP7 playback. It's like a glitch where like a digital band sort of buzzes on the screen randomly when playing back. It doesn't always happen, but just sometimes.
    The footage is rendered and doesn't have any 3rd party plug ins or filters on it. Just color correct 3 way and it is rendered.
    The footage is ProResLT from a Canon 5DMKII playing off of a LaCie Rugged 500GB hard drive connected via USB 3.0.
    The original footage is fine if I look at it on another computer or another monitor so this leads me to believe it is due to the Retina display since this is the first time I have ever experienced it. Has anyone else encountered this?

    can't help you directly since I don't have the same equipment configuration, but...
    Have you tried recompressing the material as a different kind of prores?  What are the pixel dimensions on the footage? 
    Have you tried hooking up an external monitor?
    You say this just occurs in the viewer, but do you really mean just the viewer (which with the standard screen configuration is the left monitor) or does this happen with video playing on either the viewer of canvas.  Do you see this when you play full screen?

  • Captivate 5.5 - Event Video Freezes after completion

    Hello All,
    I am in the process of creating the e-Learning course.
    I want to have a video in a slide.Below are my requirements:
    1) Video should be an event video.
    2) I need to control the event video with project player controls i.e there should not be two player controls
    3) After the completion of video, the course should move to the next slide
    Note: I cant insert slide video matching to the slide duration. The objective is to use event video as slide video matching to single slide duration.
    Trial 1: I selected the timing as "specific time" and enter the value equivalent to the video duration. Also checked the "Synchronize with Project"
    Issue here is that, whenever there is buffering, the time lapses and the slide progressing to next slide even before the video completes
    Trial 2:  I selected the timing as "duration of the video" and checked the  "Synchronize with Project"
    Issue here is that, project freezes after completion of video and doesn't progress to next slide. Even the manual controlling of 'Fast forward' or 'Play' don't work.
    Tried to change the slide timings i.e same as video duration, less than video duration and more than video duration. There is no use.
    I understand it's complicated. Any idea or suggestions to rectify this issue?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Bruno Arunjunai

    Hi Rodward,
    I have already posted the issue of using the slide video. Waiting for the solution.
    Captivate 5.5 - Slide video restarts automatically while buffering
    Alternatively, i tried to use the event video as a solution.
    When I tested the event video, it never restarts the video while buffering. However, i end up in a different issue
    Hope this clarifies.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Bruno Arunjunai

  • Video controls keep popping up

    While watching videos full screen in Safari, whether Netflix or an imbedded video, the video controls at the bottom of the page keep popping up and down - constantly. I've disconnected the mouse in the event that something is making it move (desktop speakers).
    Seems to be on Flash-based videos. Anybody having this problem?

    Try uninstalling your current copy of the Flash plugin, then reinstall >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    If that doesn't help, try deleting Flash cookies >  Flush.app – Flash Cookie Removal Tool For OS X | MacHacks.TV
    And from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache

  • Getting Weird Glitches After Rendering

    I'm doing a big project with a lot of Motion files that we render in FCP. I had to have them as motion files versus QT because... long story, but after much trial and error it was the best solution.
    Maybe a ten to twenty percent of the time, when I render these bits of the sequence, they get weird glitches. Sometimes lines across the non-alpha section of the motion file. Sometimes flashes of color across part of the video. When I simple copy the clip, delete the bad one, drop the copy in, and then rerender, it works fine. We were rendering to an external eSata drive. We're now rendering to an internal eSata drive-- just to see if that makes a difference.
    Anybody ever seen this problem before?
    Thank you,
    Alex

    NTSC, started as Digibeta. The Motion files however were created from image sequences that were starting as PAL. We converted them and have had good results, except for this 10-20% with glitches on rendering.
    Thank you,
    Alex

  • Audio in event video overlapping (only in internet explorer)

    Hello so im having an issue with captivate I made a project with 16 slides. theres 14 different videos in the project I imported each video as an event video and added the skin "coronaSkin3". I export it as an HTML5 project and test it out from my local hard drive(not on a LMS). Here is my issue the video plays but when I scrub through the event video with the coronaSkin then click on the TOC on the side it takes me to a different video but still has the audio from the first video we were on ( and only the audio) therefore both audios are overlapping each other. The weirdest thing is this only happens to me in Internet explorer not google chrome, or  safari. Is there a way to fix audio over lapping with event videos?
    Thanks

  • Weird glitches since the last Leopard upgrade to 10.5.5

    Since I upgraded to 10.5.5 on my mac pro about a week and a half ago, I've been experiencing some weird glitches. Here's a list...if you have any ideas I'm open to suggestions.
    - computer not always waking from sleep mode (have to shut down manually and reboot)
    - one of my games, Soldier of Fortune II Double Helix with Gold Patch crashes after every change to a new map - it's not related to the server I'm connecting to because I play on multiple servers and it does them in all, it just started doing this since the upgrade...I even reinstalled my game
    - another game I played last night - Unreal Tournament 2004, I played on a local LAN with my husband and my video froze...my screen went completely black although for a few seconds I could still heard the sounds of the game and then completely black and no sound, I had to manually shut down my system to get out of it
    - tonight, as I was logged into msn messenger chatting, I noticed that when I had the program maximized (it nests on the right hand side of my monitor) that all of my files on the desktop, including my mounted disks looked like they had scooted over to the left...so I minimized it and then maximized it again and the files and mounted disks were underneath the window as they should be
    As I sit and describe these, it's obvious to me that all of these instances are video related somehow, or appear to be. If anyone knows specifically if there was a video update of some kind in the 10.5.5 update, that might explain it. The only other thing I can think of that might be attributing to this is that I have enabled time machine to do backups. That is the only other thing that is different than before aside from the update to 10.5.5. Actually, I just looked at my settings for time machine and I turned it off the other day. Thanks Jen

    Absolutely. Let me just clarify here. I love my mac and have never been more satisfied with a product the way I have been with my macs (iMac G5 & Mac Pro). The reason I made the investment in 2005 was because of Windows crashing on me on almost a weekly basis, with me finally ending up loosing very important data. There is no contest - to me - between the stability of the Mac OS versus Windows. I could never see myself going back to Windows. I am very impressed with the support I receive through Apple Care and overall find it comprehensive. With that said, I would have to say that with both my G5 and my Mac Pro, both computers have ended up having bad hard drives and had to be replaced. Now, after getting my computer back, I am more inclined to believe that 99% of my problems had to do with a bad hard drive than anything else. I cannot believe how quiet my machine is now versus when I took it in. Perhaps the upgrade to 10.5.5. pushed it in limits that finally revealed it's problems, who knows. I personally will not be rolling back to an earlier version at this point because so far all of the problems I was experiencing are gone. Thanks to all of you for a very enlightening discussion. Thanks Jen

  • How do you add visual video controls to widget video in ibooks author?

    How do you add video controls to video using ibooks author?

    I have the same question as VideoImage. I would like the controls to appear in some of my videos so that the reader can speed them up or slow them down. This would save me having to run them through iMovie at 4X say and saving them that way. As far as I can see, the video fast forward, fast reverse, go to end, go to beginning controls only appear in the Widget inspector. What is their purpose then?

  • IPad Videos touchscreen unresponsive to show video controls

    Hello,
    I've searched the archives thoroughly on this one and have found others with the same problem, but no solution. When using the Videos app, after a video has been playing for more than a couple of seconds the touchscreen becomes completely unresponsive, and I cannot bring up the video controls (pause, etc.) The only option I have at this point is the home button.
    Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?
    BTW my iOS version is 3.2.1.
    Thanks!

    Last night I downloaded flipboard and I messed up the window order (prompt should have been active but the app behind the alert prompt was actually active, really strange) and i count not use the touchscreen at all even when I left the app. I toggled the screen and it all came back.

  • OS 10.3.9 and QT Pro 7 = no video controls

    I went against my normal behavior and obeyed when the computer said to upgrade from QuicktimePro 6 to Quicktime 7.0. Then discovered I had to pay another $30 to make it be the Pro version But no video controls are there - apparently I must first buy various upgrades, like a new computer, it sounds like from the forums. Video controls are why I originally bought Quicktime Pro. I could have gone back to v.6 from 7.0, but not if I'm as high as 7.1.3 (I am). At first I thought I could go back to 6 Pro and use the Pro 7 license for the husband's WindowsXP upstairs. You can't even use the license key in Windows, though.
    I think this is outrageous. Does Apple know how angry people get when they feel tricked? Most people don't have money to keep buying lots of computer stuff. Or want to be eternally tinkering.
    Is there a (preferably free) program that will brighten a .mov, .mpeg-2, .mp4...or adjust contrast? I couldn't make mpeg streamclip do it yesterday. Oh, I did try exporting .mov to .mov to make those adjustments, and the result was a bad degradation.
    mac power pc g4 cube 450 mhz 896MB sdram   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I didn't miss having Quicktime 7 for 2 years untill I encountered a video that wouldn't play without it, as I recall. I was making a lot of videos and wanted to try new features, as well.
    Yes - I thought I would register with the same registration number I had before. Why worry if Installation says older Pro versions won't work - wouldn't the new one be all that and better?
    The info page http://www.apple.com/quicktime/player/mac.html says you'll have the a/v extra features if you have Tiger and a graphics card. I thought the other way to have the features would be to get the Pro version, like it worked for Quicktime 6. Bad assumption. Do the auto-updates with checkboxes that suddenly appear on our screens even send us to that info page?
    For simpletons (we are legion) they could say for instance "your computer may not have enough power for the free Quicktime 7 a/v features or smooth streaming video (apparently) etc, even if you're running Tiger"......Quicktime 7 is simply labeled, in Versiontracker for instance, as designed for system 10.3.9 and up.
    I didn't mind paying the $30 for QT7Pro version, but was surprised that I ended up with less useful everyday features than I'd had. I felt tricked, but I don't read slowly and carefully enough, and I know Apple wasn't trying to trick me, just push me toward their store.
    fflynn - thanks for the idea. It sounds brilliant. Setting up a separate volume - not sure what that is - sounds scary, but I'll learn today.

  • Video Control Bar in Flash Displays on HD but Not From Webserver

    I am using Flash Pro 8 - putting FLV files in SWF files using
    Flash Pro 8 and then "publishing" to Html and SWF to a location on
    my hard drive.
    When I display the webpage from my Hard Drive from where ever
    on my hard drive I initially published to from Flash 8 Pro -
    everything works fine - videos play and video control bar shows and
    works.
    When I publish this website to web server the video displays
    and plays but NO Video Controller Bar (at bottom of the video)
    shows at all.
    Symptom: when I make an Html, SWF and FLA file into a folder
    on my hard drive and display them in the browser the video control
    bar shows. When I copy those three files into the hard drive
    website in FrontPage, the video shows but the video control bar
    does not.
    So, I re-made the Html, SWF, and FLA files and put them
    directly into the FrontPage website (on my hard drive) then
    everything works fine when I use broswer (IE 6 or Firefox). z
    But, when I publish the hard drive website to the remote
    website hosting company, the video control bar disappears -
    everything else works fine (video shows OK just no video controller
    bar.)
    My guess is that the SWF file has a non-relative URL
    reference concerning the video control bar and when the three files
    (Html, SWF and FLA) are moved to new location then that
    non-relative address rears its head.
    I should NOT publish from Flash 8 Pro directly to remote
    webserver as it has FrontPage Extensions and does not like to talk
    to FTP changes to website not coming from FrontPage client.
    is my guess right? What to do?????

    quote:
    1. When I encoded the video in flash I selected one of the
    pre-packaged control bars (so the user can control basic
    functions). I then published an HTML and a .swf. The HTML works
    perfectly however when I use Dreamweaver to insert the .swf it does
    not carry over the control bar. I have tried pulling over the
    control bar .swf and placing it under the video file but a HUGE
    object is imported with a bunch of controls that do not work (bunch
    of controls = play/pause/etc).
    make sure the component skin is uploaded in same directory as
    swf, movie, html
    quote:
    The second issue is this; the user still has to click once on
    the video to use the controls... does anyone know what I am doing
