Exporting subtitles for Flash cue points

I want to not just create subtitles, but use them in Flash video and other cue-point supported applications for distribution on the web. Is there a way to export my subtitles created in DVDSP to a standard stf or other document? Or do I have to use external software and then export for Flash, DVDSP, etc? If I have to use a third party, which one works best? I've seen many in the Apple Downloads section...
Thanks,
Chris.

Hi Sigmundo,
At work ( disturb media ) we've finished a karaoke flash project. I haven't used Soundbooth then, we had limited time, so I wrote a few handy commands for flash that took care of the job. Hopefully we will be able to document that, right an article and share the commands as a packed extension.
I've learned Soundbooth over the weekend and FLVCuePoints was one of the highlights. I've used FLV
and everything worked out fine. I didn't know the Media(Flash Video) Encoder allows you open an xml
file and insert cuepoints at that stage.
Anyway,

Premiere, Media Encoder and Flash Cue Points - bug?

I've been encoding a number of FLV On2 VP6 videos recently and using the new Media Encoder. For this project we need flash cue points (nav and event). I've discovered some weird things in Media Encoder - it's been duplicating cue points (or maybe the export from Premiere is buggy with cue points?).
I've seen the first couple of cue points getting duplicated with the first letter of the name capitalised and moved a frame on in time - very weird.
Anyone else seen this behaviour?
Paul.

OK, I think I've found out why - not a bug - user misunderstanding!!! (although tricky to find!)
Some of my source footage was created in After Effects. It turns out that there were a couple of cue points in the AE comp that had similar names to the cue points in Premiere - the AE comp was saved out to an AVI (with metadata enabled I think).
Premiere wasn't seeing this metadata and the cue points, but Media Encoder was (and it couldn't be deleted in ME - just kept coming back).
So - moral of the story - be careful with metadata!!!
I guess that Premiere should really show this embedded data though?

Importing WAV file with Flash Cue Points Premiere Pro CS6

I want to import a Japanese voice-over . WAV file which has Flash cue points marked in it so that I can clearly identify edit points on the video timeline when I import it into Premiere pro CS6.
Or is there another way of getting a voice-over artist to mark up audio so that I can clearly identify when certain words or phrases have been spoken? Trouble is, Japanese characters mean nothing to me! Usually this is not a problem with European languages like French and German, as I can easily mark up the script with a highlighter as I can follow the voice over on the supplied script, but Japanese characters mean nothing to me.
Please help.
Many thanks.

Premiere has a function now where you can import a clip and drag onto a timeline and it will prompt you with a message about changing the timeline settings to match your clip, (or if there is no timeline it will automatically create one that matches your clip.) This is in CC of course so you might consider upgrading. They have fixed a lot of compatibility issues from CS6 to now. If you don't want to get all of CC for 60/month then you can at least shell out 20/month on premiere. It's worth it. They've made it where you don't have to worry about 99% of all video formats. They just work.

Using external XML to add and set parameters for AS cue points.

Hi there. I am trying to use external xml to set cue point
times (for video), titles, and other parameters. I have everything
set up, except getting the proper data from the xml file to set the
parameters for my cue points. I am researching hard and learning
quickly - at this point, I need help. Thanks!

Anyone?
Still working on this if anyone has advice. Still haven't
been able to figure out how to put xml data in the right place:
addASCuePoint(//data from xml here to set name and time of
cue point - HOW??//);
Thanks!

After Effects markers to Flash Cue Points

I'm working on a project that invlolves tracking footage using Mocha AE, bringing the corner pin data into After Effects, and finally converting that data into layer makers so that it can be read as cue points in Flash. The Flash guy I'm working with is creating an automated system in Flash that will composite images over the footage I'm tracking using my exported FLV's with metadata . We've had a certain amount of success but there are some lingering issues that I'm hoping someone can shed some light on.
1) Is there any way to see all the data that is stored in a particular layer marker (this is after running the "convert selected properties to layer markers" script.) When I click on a layer marker it shows the cue point data at the bottom, but there are only 3 spaces for data, and I know I've been able to export a lot more than 3 paramerters of data into Flash per cue point. There seems to be no way to expand the window to display more data.
2) Transparency data in the layer markers seems to cause all sorts of issues when it is interpreted in Flash. At first I tried using simple hold keyframes for opacity, and have also tried linear keyframes, and generating a keyframe for every frame of video, and each time the results are unpredictable. The in and out points' opacity values for any particular layer seem to be correct, but in between that there seem to be random opacity values in the cue data on the Flash side. Is there a way to reliably get transparency data into Flash via the FLV (with metadata) format?
3) Is there a way to change the order of how data is listed in the layer markers? I've tried selecting individual paramerters in a certain order and running the layer marker script, but the cue point data seems to be ordered the same way each time.
4) We seem to be running up against a limit of how much cue point data Flash can ingest in an FLV, but we have not seen any documentation regarding this. Does anyone know if there is a set limit? Right now we're either splitting up the clips into smaller pieces or reducing the amount of data on the Flash side, but if there's an actual limit it would be nice to know so we can work around it.
Any other tips that might help save some time in this process would be most welcome.
Thanks!

Is there a way to reliably get transparency data into Flash via the FLV (with metadata) format?
Don't think so. It's inherent in how Flash calculates opacity/ transparency. Something with normalizing/ quantizing the opacity for the entire stage and changing Alpha values. You'd have better luck exporting an XFL and copying the keyframes manually to the respecticve layers in Flash and/or you have someone write an XML parsing script to pull them directly in.
Is there any way to see all the data that is stored in a particular layer marker (this is after running the "convert selected properties to layer markers" script.)
Read this article on how to access marker data with expressions, then create an expression on a text layer's source text property. Off hand I'm not sure about the individual field names in the markers, but I'm sure it's easy enough to figure out.
Is there a way to change the order of how data is listed in the layer markers?
Not that I know. Unfortunately the fields are hardwired, not custom XMP. Still, should not be a problem - you can no doubt easily reorder everything when importing in Flash, it may just prolong parsing when a script is involved...
Does anyone know if there is a set limit?
The file format specs don't state anything, which means there can be one for every frame, if you assume that what is not exclusively ruled out is possible otherwise...

Flash Cue Points in Soundbooth

I'm working on a little singalong-application for flash CS4 and found that Soundbooth lets me insert cue points so that I can later sync textfiles to flash video if I save the soundbooth file with markers as a .fv4-file. I tried it, but can't seem to get AS3 to find the cue points? I thought thay were dispatced as the video plays, so I added an EventListener and tried to trace something but nothing happened. Am I on the wrong track here?

Using lingo for returing cue points of a sound

Hello all
for returning a list of cue point of a sound ,it is written
in the book that we should use the following lingo
put the cuePointNames of member "mySound"
realy I have a sound member which have cue points ,but I
don't know where to use this lingo ,and where I will see the result
thank you very much for your attention ,sincerely yours
Mohsen

A "put" statement will place the result of the statement into
the bottom
half of the message window. You can open the message window
from the
Windows menu. In the top half of the message window you can
type any
single line function call or command and see the result in
the bottom
half. You can also use the put command from anywhere in your
movie to
see the result. This is an extremely useful debugging tool.
You can find
more on the message window and its uses in the online help.
Once you have a list of the cuePointNames you can use them to
test the
sound file that you are currently playing. You can use the
isPastCuePoint() function. Look at the syntax for that
function in the
online help.
It is far simpler to use the sound channel property,
elapsedTime. Look
at the online help information for Sound Channel to find more
information on controlling and monitoring sound playback.

Optimal export properties for Flash

I'm trying to export a 2m34s flash for my website, but I keep test exporting clip that play strobbing because they'Re too heavy even if they are much lower size then many Quicktimes I've exported and played fluidly.
What would be the optimal setting for exporting a low res Flash and then a High res Flash 1920x1080 from an uncompressed HD AVI 10-bit with AIFF 24-bit stereo 48 000 ?
BTW I make my exports with AE not AME.
Thank you.

You might think about dynamic linking your AE comp into a Premiere Pro in order to use AME.
"HD" on the web is subjective and if you're looking to get it up as a stream and not progressive download there are various things to consider.
One resource I like to recommend is here: http://store.creativecow.net/p/64/internet_killed_the_video_star
I hope this helps,

Rendering / Exporting Animation for FLASH

Hello Friends,
Some time ago I made an animation in After Effects CS3 and either Rendered it or Exported it as an SWF. I then Imported it into my Library in my FLASH CS3 movie and all was terrific.
Although I have spent the last four days going through everything I can think of, I cannot for the life of me recall how I did this. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful to hear from you.
Many thanks in advance!

Hello Mylenium,
THank you very kindly for your tip.
This was one of the very firast things I tried.
Unfortuanely, I got the following prompt:
"Wildform Flix Exporter encountered a problem.
This version of Flix Exporter is not licensed to run under the current application."
I have not yet figured out what it means. Never saw it before. If you or anyone has any idea, I would be very grateful hearing from you.
I thank all who can lend some advice.

Exporting file for Flash Catalyst use?

Hey everyone. I've made a video in Flash Pro, and I want to be able to play it in Flash Catalyst. I'm using 5.5 of both versions, btw. I export the Flash Pro video to a .mov file and then use Media Encoder to make that a .flv file. I bring that file into FC and publish to web. However, when I put those 'deploy to web' files on my website, the video doesn't play. Everything else works except for the video. So I put a generic, short .flv file that I downloaded from the internet into my FC file. I published it to my website again, and everything worked fine. The video played. So obviously the problem with my video must be in the encoding process.
How should I do this? I read one article online that said when I export a .mov file for FC, I should make sure that I don't have 'Fast - Compressed Header' selected in the Streaming options. Well, I checked and I don't. It's just under regular 'Fast'. So what am I doing wrong here? I've even tried converting my .mov file to a f4v file, and that doesn't work. Help here would be so greatly appreciated.

Ah. I think they just tested the .html file. Though, they were trying nearly everything yesterday, so they might have tried the swf file, too. I'll ask him this afternoon. There's a webpage included in both deploy-to-web and run-local folders. Both are entitled main.html. I'm looking at both codes in Dreamweaver to see what would be different, how the code is calling to the flv video, and I can't see any change! I switch from one code view to the other, and nothing is different. The only difference is that in the video size area, the html file from the run-local folder is bigger. So obviously something more was put into the run-local html file, but what I don't know. I can't figure that out from the code. Here's the code from the run-local file, though it looks the same in the deploy-to-web html file, too.

But I don't see anything where it calls to my bathinline.flv file. Yet this one plays just fine. I've played both .html files, and only the run-local html file plays fine on my computer (not viewing from website this time). So I agree with you that I think it's a pathing issue on the deploy to web thing, but I have no idea what. The code isn't showing any difference.
Any more ideas. You've been really, really helpful so far!

Best export settings for Flash

Hello,
I am trying to export a video to Flash for uploading to the web. I am using Sorenson Squeeze to convert the file to Flash. What is the best export settings in FCP for this. I don't want to encode the file twice.
Thanks in advance.
Pete

What format is your original material and what format is your sequence? Generally speaking, export with sequence settings. This will not add any additional compression.

Resizing subtitles for Flash CS4

Hi,
Does anyone have any useful code for resizing subtitles when you go to fullscreen? At the moment I have the following code, but when I go to full screen it resizes correctly on the first click, then if you go back to normal screen size, and then back to full screen again, the full screen subtitles are still in the smaller, normal screen size.
Please help - it's driving me mad!

Sorry to say I can't help but wondered if you ever figured out a solution. I have a similar problem in that our subtitles look great and size just fine when we go to full screen, but we loose our placement. By that I mean when we go to full screen the subtitles drift upward - they come on in the proper position, then move upwards on the screen 1 or 2 lines. So I get floating-moving subtitles. Not sure if this is a bug or anything anyone has seen but I desparately need a fix. Maybe what you learned from you problem can help me.

Flash Video Cue Points don't work

I used the template sample from Adobe named :Flash video
template: Showcase website for personal video...I followed all the
steps sugested. I used Flash Video Encoder, created the cue points,
worte down the location of those cue points, which I wrote exactly
in the Settings.XML file for each chapter....etc. I guarantee you
that I did it all as sugested...In fact several months ago, it
worked for another project and another videos that I had.
But this time, when I am testing it, the video appears in the
screen all right but when I select a chapter for the section of
that video, an error appears like this :
VideoError: 1003: Invalid seek
at fl.video::VideoPlayer/seek()
at fl.video::FLVPlayback/seek()
at
Video_fla::MainTimeline/chapterClickHandler()[Video_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:184]
VideoError: 1003: Invalid seek
at fl.video::VideoPlayer/seek()
at fl.video::FLVPlayback/seek()
at
Video_fla::MainTimeline/chapterClickHandler()[Video_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:184]
My Settings file has the correspondent locations for each cue
point, like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I have my file structure right as well in each folder IMG and
VIDEO.
What does this error means and how can I correct the
problem.....I have been expending hours trying different ways and
still can't get it to work.
Thanks,
Edna

you don't need a cuepoint to detect the end of your video. use:
var lo:Object = {};
lo.complete = function(eObj:Object):Void {
next_btn._visible=true;
flv_pb.addEventListener("complete", lo); // <- use the instance name of your flvpb component

Exporting FLV With Cue Points In Adobe Premiere Pro CS5

Hello
I am currently using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 to export to a FLV file with flash cue points. I have managed to do this but I also want to export (separately) a list of all the time codes of the cue points in the clip. I see that you can save the cue points to an xml file but it doesn't come up with the time codes (well it does, but it is in milliseconds and amongst other things). Is there any way I can save a list of the time codes of the cue points on my FLV file, rather than having to manually type it out?
Thanks,
Rvnistelrooy

I don't think there is any easy way to do this, but one thing I could suggest is to export the metadata as an xml side car and then use the text editor to extract the times. I'm not sure this would work, but it's worth a try.
Cheers,
Dennis

Create navigation cue points in a FLV file using Media Encoder CC

When I export a FLV file with Navigation cue points created in Media Encoder CC (by loading a cue points XML file), upon examining the file I see that the cue points are recorded as Event type cue points in the metadata at the top of the file.
When I load the FLV file in Flash, I can receive cue point notifications using action script while the video is played, but cannot use seekToNavCuePoint to move the play head to one of the cue points, which accords them being Events rather than Navigation points.
I am wondering if there are any other export settings which need to be particular values in order for navigation cue points to be created properly in the exported file?

Lestyn, thanks for the verification. Took me a frantic 4 hours to arrive at the same conclusion. Do these people test their software???
Maddening.
