External video issues...

ok im pretty new to the flash environment.
i am trying to use external flvs in a swf. the problem is that it works locally but not live.
can anyone help w/ this?

You can't monitor SD without a 3rd party card.
Perhaps you mean the material is DV?
You don't send DV material directly to a monitor - you send it out via firewire to some sort of DV/analog conversion then to a monitor.

  • Timeline and External Video issues

    Have an issue with output. My external video is not showing up to play from the timeline. I am getting neither audio or video. Have checked all firewire ports, used 2 different monitors, 2 different decks, 2 different firewire cable and even tried it without the external hard drive. It shows in the view menu that all frames are checked and the output is set to the correct monitor. Refreshing the external devices does not work either. Ran FCP Rescue. Still did not fix the problem. The Canvas window is sized to fit in the window. Capturing video and audio works great. Just output and monitoring it while editing. Can I get an answer. It is the latest FCP, 6.0.2. Is this a problem with the new quicktime 7.3.1?
    This is an emergency. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Aja Kona LHI external video issues

    I have Afters Effects CS5.5 and a Kona LHI, and I am unable to turn off or change the settings of my external video preview. It is always outputting 1080i. This started when I upgraded to CS5.5 and Mac Lion OS. I have the same hardware as when I had CS4 and Leopard and never had this issue. Final Cut Pro is outputting fine and I have verified my AJA Kona setting are correct. Any help would be appriciated.

    After hearing from AJA I reinstalled the KNOA drivers and now Final Cut Pro or Premiere will not output through the KONA LH at all while AE is open. When AE is closed everything else works fine. This is the error message I received from Final Cut Pro 7.
    "Unable to open the specified Video Output device.
    It may be in use by another application, incorrectly connected or may be conflicting with a sound device."

  • Linking to external video in Captivate 7

    I develop video-based training. Each slide includes mostly video. I've been successfully embedding f4v videos into Captivate projects for some time but video quality and file size issues make it necessary to begin linking to videos on external servers.
    I've tried a number of options without success.
    I create a video event, choose the url option, and add the url from the uploaded video. The only usable server choice is the Adobe Media Streaming Service. I've tested the videos on different servers including Amazon since the troubleshooting advice alerted me that only Adobe partners servers will be recognized. The project previews and the progress bar moves as if the video is playing but only the background file is visible. I tried all the preview options - no luck.
    I decided to try the YouTube widget. I uploaded test videos to YouTube, inserted the Interaction widget and added the url, etc. This option results in a successful preview only when I choose the html 5 output in web browser option. Captivate will successfully publish the project but I get "Java Script Error unable to acquire LMS, API content, may not play properly" messages.
    The published file performs like all of the unsuccessful previews. The file loads and acts as if the videos are playing in that the progress bar moves but there is no video, just the slide background image. I tried different output settings like just SWF, just html5, both SWF and html5, different versions of the flash player, etc. I also added the output folder to the Flash Global Security settings in case it was a permissions issue.
    I'm working on a mac so I emailed a zipped file to my PC and tried to open in Internet Explorer to see if the file might play on a different system or browser - same outcome - no luck.
    Making external video work is critical to my work and use of Captivate so I'm hoping there's something I'm missing or misunderstanding about what I need to do.
    Any help or advice will be appreciated.

    I'm continuing to have problems with the YouTube widget. My client sent me YouTube links and when I copied and pasted the new links into the Captivate file and the published and uploaded the file, the links didn't work.
    To review, I uploaded video files to YouTube and used the interactions widget to insert the linked videos. The videos which I uploaded can be previewed in html5 in web browser but not in any other way. When I publish this file and view the file on my system on my browser (Safari) the file opens but the videos do not play. However, when I upload to my ftp site and open the file from there, the linked YouTube videos play.
    So this led me to believe that I have a file that will work at least in html5 output. But when I replace the original YouTube links that I uploaded with new links provided by my client the videos preview in html5 in web browser mode but do not play on my system or when uploaded to my ftp site. All of the videos (mine and my clients) play in YouTube and preview in html5 mode.
    Additionally, when I ouput the html5 file, the quiz doesn't work properly. The radio buttons don't appear on screen so when answers are selected the user has no way of knowing their selections have been accepted. Oddly, the quiz is registering answers since when you submit there is a brief flash during which you can see the buttons but they quickly disappear and results are tallied accurately at the end. But the quiz is unusable without user feedback for selections. You can view this performance beginning on the sixth slide (the beginning of the quiz).

    Are html5 output files compatible with Learning Management Systems? Is there a way to use the YouTube widget in SWF output files?

  • Problem With External Video

    I am currently running Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 on OS X 10.4.8. I am having some serious issues trying to get Final Cut to display the timelines video out to my TV. I have my Canon GL2 connected via FireWire, and set it up so the DV input plays as the audio/video. It then goes out to the TV via some standard RCA jacks. I have done this before, no problem.
    The settings are as follows:
    External Video: All Frames
    Video Playback: Apple FireWire NTSC (720x480)
    Audio Playback: Audio Follows Video
    Sequence Preset: DV NTSC 48 kHz
    Capture Preset: DV NTSC 48 kHz
    Device Control Preset: FireWire NTSC Basic
    If I turn the camera off, the output shows it as 'missing'. I can import using the camera so I know its connected correctly with the FireWire. I can see playback on the TV if I watch the tape, so I know that too is connected correctly.

    Its funny you should reply, I was just looking through my posts, and was reading a response you left months ago when I asked a question, then I came back to this post and there you were again! Thanks, I fiddled with the camera for a bit and finally did something to get it to show up. Marked as solved.

  • External video monitor not supported?

    I started to use color APP just recent and soon found out that Color does not support live preview to my external video monitor via Firewire, I have 2 devices to choose, DSR11 or a DAC 10 ( DV Converter ), firewire to Component.
    I hope that Apple resolve this issue fairly quick, many color users like me that don't have an IO card like AJ Kona or Decklink, color will be useless without an external video monitor for color correction.
    Any input will be appreciated.
    Sigi

    Because of the reduced colorspace required for DV, I'd wager it's unlikely that Color will ever be made to go out via FireWire to a DV deck or DAC.
    Decklink Intensity - $249 or $399? is a potential alternative...

  • Scrubbing problems with external video turned on

    I recently upgraded to Tiger and using FCP vers 4.5. When my external video is on and viewing on my NTSC monitor, I have a very irritating problem. Whenever I use the keyboard to play in reverse or scrub by holding down the J and K keys at the same time for slow play, the image stutters and drops frames. Also, the Viewer or Canvas display will also periodically black out for a second or two. When I scrub with the mouse, I don't see this problem. It's only when using the keyboard.
    When I turn off external video, everything is fine. I've never had this problem in the past with my system. The only thing that's changed is Tiger and Quicktime 7 Pro. I have done all the upgrades and threw away all FCP preference files.
    I'm stumped. Anyone else having the same problem?
    By the way, video plays fine when in external video mode. Laid off a project last night, no issues or dropped frames.

    Oh my goodness I'm having the same problem! Recently I upgraded to Quicktime 7.0.3 but did some Security Updates as well and thought I was up the creek. I'm on FCP 4.5, OS X 10.3.9 and noticed the same backwards stuttering. Thank you so much for putting your solution on there, I will try it first thing when I get to work tomorrow!

  • External video doesn't play but only shows still frame (some times).

    When trying to view a clip or sequence on my external video monitor (NTSC via firewire through Sony converter box) and only for some of my projects, I cannot get the video to play. It displays a single frame and then updates when I stop playing a clip on the desktop. I've selected "all frames" in the External video option, but I cannot get it to play real time. This only happens with certain clips or sequences. Any ideas what's up?

    I've been having this same issue. I'm pretty sure it has to do with one of my sequence settings. I have no issues when I'm playing back an SD project but when I try to playback an HD project to an SD monitor I encounter thsi problem where it stays locked on the last frame I paused at. I'm using a Blackmagic Decklink Extreme HD and attempting to playback over composite.
    Thanks

  • External Video Problem

    Macbook Pro (late 2008) connected to 24' LED Display. Final Cut Pro Studio 2. Final cut A/V settings for external video to LED display. Mirror on desktop checked. LED display is connected and black but I get no playback in the display. All frames, single frames, nothing. When I use motion and the LED display is selected as my external video, playback is perfectly synced in the viewer and display. All other programs allow me to use the LED display as my monitor except FCP. Why? I posted this before but got no answer. I have searched and searched. DVcreator.net, creativecow.net. etc....Nobody seems to know why I am not getting external playback in my LED display. I have trashed prefs, I have reinstalled the entire box set. Nothing. Anyone have any idea?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, it is a computer monitor (like I said Apple 24' LED Display) but its not DVI. The new Macbooks have that new mini display port. That is how it is connected. These new LED monitors were designed specifically for the new macbooks. You are correct about the " Digital Desktop Preview" part BUT a second display can be used as an external monitor via the external video settings (as long as you monitor audio from the built in audio). I have an AJA IO and I use that with my G5 edit bay and I am currently looking into the new Matrox MXO2 for my Macbook but the point is this works but only when I do as I said in my last reply. If I was editing video for NTSC viewing, of course I would use an I/O and monitor it on a NTSC monitor but considering a bulk of my editing is for the web and 720p, why not use a second display for monitoring? This is how I have gotten playback so far,
    create new project, select "Digital Cinema Desktop Preview-Full Screen", import a video file that does not match the sequence settings. When I drag a clip to the timeline, choose NOT to change sequence settings to match the clip when it pops up. Then render the clip and I get synced playback in the viewer and LED display in fullscreen (but not with the preview slug). What is strange, if I export the rendered clip, re-import it and place it in the matched up sequence, my initial problem occurs. Unlimited RT is off (tried on as well). I have tried everything. The only reason I am **** bent on getting this to work is when I first got the computer and display, this WORKED!!! Perfectly. I imported HD mov files from an SD card and used the settings I am using now and had no problem what so ever. Then one day (only thing I can think of that changed was an OS security update) it just decided to NOT work. I believe it is a sequence/project setting problem or the fact that the media isn't logged, it is just imported. I'm trying to make a custom setting to fix this but no luck at the moment yet. If someone has the exact same setup as me please tell me you have the same problem and I don't have a hardware issue.....hmmmm In fact, I'm going to switch to the other lesser internal video card and see if that works.

  • Handshake Problem with external video

    I have a 13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008 MacBook. After upgrading to Mountain Lion I cannot get my mac to connect with any external video device: projector or TV. My mac can't detect the external device even when I go to "Detect Device" In System Pref.

    How many months must pass before apple addresses this, this has been a known issue since July at least. Every display in my place has issues with this nonsense, and the only real solution has been to downgrade back to Lion. I can only do this with my home machine as my work laptop must remain updated to match the work system. This sort of thing drives me so crazy I can't even begin to voice my anger, why did I pay this company to upgrade my technology when all it did was force my monitors to go dark?

  • Canvas View Not Following External Video

    Hello, everyone. I've had this problem before, and somehow managed to figure out how to fix it, but I'm having it again, and - for the life of me - it's stumping the heck out of me and I haven't been able to figure out how to undo it.
    My external monitor is indeed playing the timeline sequence realtime, but the video on the Canvas is frozen. It only shows the frame I'm on when I stop playback.
    My caps lock button is NOT on (that's happened before and I undid it).
    View>External Video>All Frames
    Video Playback>Apple Firewire NTSC (720X480)
    Audio Playback>Firewire 410 [this is the audio device I use for playback]
    Show Multiclip Angles is UNchecked
    I'm stumped!
    It's always been a quick fix before - a button I accidentally pressed or unpressed - but I haven't figured it out this time.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much,
    Javier Calderon

    Also, and by the way, this is a feature I've been working on for a few months now - so it's a problem that just arose on a project I've been sailing decently on for a while now. Additionally, it seems to be something I did to FCP itself - and not to the specific project sequence I'm working on, because I opened up two other sequences to see if they were working well . . . and those other sequences weren't either. The other sequences had the same issue - letting me, again, know that it's some issue with the overall FCP program settings perhaps as opposed to the specific project I'm on.

  • External video capture card

    Hi
    I am looking for an 'external video capture card' that will record a screen and sound from a PC or preferable a mac at 30fps and 1080p that I can then edit with I have a budget up to £150 but can go further if need be. This is for video game trailer i am putting together which is why i need to be able to record the screen. 
    If anyone has any suggestion please reply with links to where I can buy the device from.
    Thank You

    If you have a DVI port on the computer, yes it is.
    Hmmm...or maybe not. That's a really REALLY old device, and it might not work with the newer OS. Here I see it has issues with QT 7.5:
    http://lfhd.net/2008/09/04/matrox-mxo-quicktime-7-5-dont-mix/
    Here's my review of it:

    Here's a pretty thorough setup guide...

    But I fear that it's too old for the computer and OS.  Matrox stopped supporting it a while ago.

  • Video Issues After OSX 10.5.6 Update

    I've installed the update via Software Update and now 1080p HD video on apple trailers using the 9600 on my new MBP (2008) is choppy and quicktime video on the apple site is flickering from time to time whereas the image is replaced by a white flicker from time to time.
    Any Suggestions ?

    I am also having the same exact problem with 1080i/60 DVCProHD material and my ATI 9600 card. I can get my external video to work only when showing 1/4 quarter frames. I can get the timeline video to run smoothly if I turn off external video--but of course that's not acceptable.
    ATI says since everything worked in Tiger it's a driver issue and that's Apple's problem. Did you find a solution?

  • Loading external video flash site bug

    I’m having issues with the loading external video method in acitonscript 3.0 book by todd perkin.  The issue is about the lesson on page 308 in ch 11.
    The above screenshot of the lesson file.
    My site:
    The following is the actionscript for controlling the flv(ignore my notes):
    /*code for putting external video on page*/
    var videoConnection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
    videoConnection.connect(null);
    var videoStream:NetStream = new NetStream(videoConnection);
    /*comp vs abom video link*/
    videoStream.play("CompVsAbom.flv");
    var video:Video = new Video();
    video.attachNetStream(videoStream);
    addChild(video);
    var metaListener:Object = new Object();
    metaListener.onMetaData = onMetaData;
    videoStream.client = metaListener;
    function onMetaData(data:Object):void
                /*link funct*/
                play_cva_vid.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, play_Cva_vid);
                stop_cva_vid.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stop_Cva_vid);
                /*btn backs up to techno toy sect*/
    back_techno_toy.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, techno_toy_back);
    function techno_toy_back(event:MouseEvent):void {
                gotoAndStop(36);
                /*back btn should be under function.*/
    /*link funct*/
    function play_Cva_vid(event:MouseEvent):void
                videoStream.play("CompVsAbom.flv");
    /*link funct*/
    function stop_Cva_vid(event:MouseEvent):void
                videoStream.pause();
    This is the only thing that crashing my site.  The load external video methods nice but if I can’t make practical use of it, its useless.  Any actionscript gurus out there know a solution to fix this problem?  Your help would be much appreciated.  Btw, the fla and the flv are in the same folder.

    To reposition video you just need to change its x and y:
    video.x = [Number];
    video.y = [Number];
    Also, you should take advantage of onMetaData and resize the video to it doesn't have black box around it.

  • External Video option not working

    Recently our Final Cut System crashed. We're running 10.5.7, FCP 6.0.6. We have an external JVC monitor that always worked before with Video Playback. Now we have no Video Playback options (we do not use Digital Cinema Desktop - but that is all that is currently available.). We have reinstalled FCP several times - the issue is NOT a) installation b) a JVC driver c) a faulty monitor (we see an image when we digitize footage). Footage is digitized through a Sony HDV 1080i deck. The deck is functionally normally. In fact, everything is functioning normally except that since we did the system reinstall we no longer have any video playback options behind Digital Cinema Desktop. The Help boys tried but I couldn't describe the problem any more clearly than this. The connections have been checked and indeed not changed. The Video Playback worked for six months previous to the crash. Does anyone know how we can recover External Video options? PS Important note - the External Video setting is set to OFF and will NOT reconnect to "All Frames" or "Single Frame". Thanks.

    Are you trying to preview HDV? Or DV? I know you can preview HDV via firewire as DV...don't know how to do that...but someone does.
