Fading transition between multiple streaming flv files

I am currently accomplishing this by switching between two NetStream, NetConnection, VideoPlayer combinations. The problem is that it is considerably cumbersome. Is there a better (easier) way of doing this? I looked into the play2() method, but it doesn't seem to have any way of overlapping the streams to create a seemless fade-in/fade-out.
Thanks for any help.

There is 1-to-1 relationship between NetStream and Video it is played in. So, seamlessness/smooth transitions (however you define it) cannot be achieved with the same NetStream.
play2() is designed for dynamic streaming of the same asset encoded at different bit rates from FMS.

I can not copy a transition between multiple clips in premiere 12

Following the procedure described in the manual, I can not copy a transition between multiple clips in Premiere 12.
Premiere copy a single transition in the clip closer to the time bar.
I had tried in various ways but to no avail. The problem can be solved?
Thanks for the help.

Sig. T.T. Romano,

I finally figured out that you can not copy a transition between multiple clips at the same time and it will copy one at a time.
What seems strange, however, because in Pinnacle, which I used until recently, this could be done, and Adobe is not less than Pinnacle.
Maybe Adobe does not consider interesting this thing, or maybe it is inserted in Premiere Pro. How, for example, in the titles, the ability to animate multiple lines. In Premiere Elements missing but I knew that in the Pro's.
I thank you anyway for your helpful answers.

Streaming .FLV files from Media Server 4.5 using PHDS

I would like to stream .FLV files from adobe media server 4.5.
Requirements state that the files should be considered secret, so I decided that PHDS sounds like the
right thing.
I was able to stream an .FLV by placing it in the webroot/vod folder using an url like http://myserver/vod/test.flv
However the developer manual states that a way to enable PHDS at the server level is to uncomment the two lines like this.
<IfModule jithttp_module>
<Location /hds-vod>
    HttpStreamingJITPEnabled true
    HttpStreamingContentPath "../webroot/vod"
    JitFmsDirPath ".."
    Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
# Uncomment the following directives to enable encryption
# for this location.
   EncryptionScope server
   ProtectionScheme phds
</Location>
</IfModule>
However I am not able to stream my FLV using url like http://myserver/hds-vod/test.flv
Question : Am I supposed to use the hds-vod in the URL or is /vod doing the same ?
                  Is the approach correct, or should the files go into an applications\myapplication\media folder ?
                  I will need some server side actionscript to validate access to the stream, is that possible without a dedicated application ?

Hi,
When you use the vod location directive you're basically using Progressive download so your URL is as : http://myserver/vod/test.flv
However, when you use the location directive hds-vod, it is HTTP Streaming, where the fragments are created on the fly. For this your URL needs to be as : http://myserver/hds-vod/test.f4v.f4m
Please note .flv files are not supported for HTTP streaming (via hds-vod location directive). You cannot use PHDS with .flv files.
Thanks,

How to stream flv files from a diffferent directory outside the applications folder

Hi everyone,
I want to stream the flv files from a different location
stored in the hard disk, which is outside the applications folder
in the FMS installation root directory. Does anyone know how to do
it?
Regards,
Diptanu

VOD changes won't help him, he said outside the applications
folder. According to adobe any new vod folders must be in the
applications folder, hence virtually worthless for most purposes. A
better question may be, how do you specify a folder on a different
local hard drive. I wish adobe wouldn't make it so complicated, it
should be a really simple matter.

PRE8 - Transitioning between multiple video tracks

Hi,
I've been making Youtube vids for awhile with a web cam, and using a Microsoft app to sync my audio up with the webcam.
I now have a second camera, and have purchased PRE8 for some of the effects, and to try to sync the video closer to the audio (as well as adding multiple camera shots).
I've recorded all my video angles (5 in all) and have been trying to switch between video tracks.
I first set my audio track into PRE8, then the first video. I work to sync the two, then mute the audio track from the webcam video clip.
When I add a second video clip in, can I add it as a new video track, and then transition between them?
The book I have only uses separate video clips, all stacked onto one video track.
The problem with me doing that is, I need to pull all 5 video clips in, sync them to the audio track, and then change in between them.
Having to clip them duration wise for every transition is going to take awhile, and seems like it would be hard to get right.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Let me know if you need more information from me to help.
Thanks!

Well, the Multi-cam feature would simplify life a bit, but there is a big difference in the cost of the two programs.
What I would do is look at a workflow, something like this:
Import your main footage, probably a Clip with a medium wide shot, and drag it to the Timeline. Now, does this Clip contain the full song, or was that recorded separately? Either way, check for the sync for the entire Clip. When you play this Clip, use the * key on the numberpad (with NumLock ON), to place Markers where you think you will want the "cut-away" shots. Don't worry if they are not exactly where you will end up placing the cut-aways, as they are just there to remind you. Now, with the cut-aways, Import one of those into Project. From the Project Panel, Dbl-click on it to open it in the Source Monitor. Set the In and Out Points to suit, and then from the Source Monitor, drag that Instance of the Clip onto an upper Video Track. Let any Audio go where ever PrPro wants it, because you will Alt-click on that Audio, and Delete it. Now, slide it along the Timeline, until it syncs up with the "master" Audio Track. You have the benefit of knowing which strings you are plucking, or which chords you are using, so it will be much easier for you. Were I doing that, I would not have a clue, and would have to use that Clip's Audio to try and match up the visuals.
Remember, that source Clip can have its In & Out Points set as many times as you wish, and you can add any number of Instances to the Timeline, where you wish, and repeat the process of visually syncing to the master Audio.
Repeat for the other desired angles.
When you are done, just add a Cross-Dissolve to each end of each of the additional Clips, as desired.
From an aesthetic standpoint, you might also want to think about doing some of those "different angles" as PiP (Picture in Picture). I have seen that treatment used very successfully with musical pieces, especially if they are instructional in nature.
Let me know if the above workflow seems logical for what you have, and what you want to do.
Good luck,
Hunt

Cross dissolve transition between multiple video tracks?

I'm wanting to cross dissolve between 2 clips, with each clip consisting of 2 or 3 video tracks (one clip is a still image in track v2, sitting above a color matte in v1; the other clip is motion footage in v1, with another cropped motion image in v2 and v3). When I put cross dissolves between the 2 clips (ie 2 dissolves, one for video track v1 and one for v2), the dissolve is "messy", showing the cropped images in v2 and v3.
To make the dissolves "clean" I can render and export the multiple-track clips, but then I have to add handles to allow the dissolve, and then it takes time to resync each clip, which is very annoying!
Is there a technique for making cross dissolves between multiple-track video clips?

Any other suggestions? <</div>
Practice and logical deconstruction.
If your original clip is 10 seconds and your nest is 10 seconds you must trim off 2 seconds of the nest to perform a 2-4 second dissolve. If that pulls too much of your original clip out of the timeline, you must add two seconds to the original clip so the nest is 12 seconds long so you can trim off the 2 seconds requried to perform the dissolve.
An easier way of accomplishing this is to stack the two nests and apply a keyframed opacity ramp to the upper track. This will help you visualize what you're doing wrong and how to add more handles to the upstream clips.

Applying the same transition between multiple clips

Does any know how to apply the same transition to multiple clips that are all ready in the timeline? I remember attending an Adobe Premiere Workshop years ago and I'm sure they demonstrated that technique. It's would be such a time saver. Perhaps it was a Final Cut Workshop.

Don't you get something like this:
That works perfectly for me. Have you updated to CS4 4.1?

Length (in seconds) of streaming flv file?

I'm new to streaming media with Flash, and can't seem to find
out whether the clip length (in seconds) is a readable variable. It
doesn't seem to be part of NetStream, but it looks like FLVPlayback
widget somehow finagles the information as totalTime out of the
file's metadata, though I may be misinterpreting that terribly. Is
there a way to pull this information out?

You do the same .. get it from the metadata in the FLV (if
the FLV has been
made with the appropriate information in it)

Flash streaming external flv files

I have a web page which contains a flash object embeded in
it, this flash is streaming external flv files. The flash was being
displayed correctly when the website was hosted on a windows 2000
server but when the site was moved to a windows 2003 server the
flash is no longer displayed, instead of it a box with undefined
text inside it. I searched the Adobe support center and found this
Tech Note about adding the MIME Type through IIS since windows 2003
doesn't stream flv files. I followed the steps mentioned but still
am getting the undefined box
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19439&sliceId=2
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance.

This is the problem.
When Flash Player movie files that stream external FLV files
(Flash videos) are placed on a Microsoft Windows 2003 server and
then viewed in a browser, the SWF file plays correctly, but the FLV
video does not stream. These files work correctly if tested on
other operating systems. The issue affects all FLV files played via
Windows 2003 server
And can be solved by....
1. On the Windows 2003 server, open the Internet Information
Services Manager.
2. Expand the Local Computer Server.
3. Right-click the local computer server and select
Properties.
4. Select the MIME Types tab.
5. Click New and enter the following information:
* Associated Extension box: .FLV
* MIME Type box:flv-application/octet-stream
6. Click OK.
7. Restart the World Wide Web Publishing service.

Playing flv files in Adobe Reader 7

I created some pdf documents using Acrobat 9 Pro into which I added links to streamed flv files. This worked fine with the video playing in the pop up box but when I put it on the web people opening it with Reader 7 could not play the flv and were prompted to upgrade to Reader 9.2 (which worked). Unfortunately I can't rely on people being able to upgrade and want to find a way fro flv files to be playable via Reader 7. I've tried creating them in Acrobat 7 Pro but couldn't get that to work. Does anyone have any ideas about why this doesn't work and what to do? Thanks

Your experience is better, than mine. I look after a website for a Electronics Servicing organization. I've created many PDF using Acrobat 3 - 7.0.7 (the older versions on OS9. I use OSX.3.9 on a G4-500 using 1.5 Gb of System RAM. And I uses OSX.4.5 on a PowerBook 17" using 2 GB of system RAM. Since switch to Acrobat 6 and then 7 I've never been able to have anyone view a PDF created in 6 or 7 Format. The File appears to be there and the file fize indicates it has content. Whether viewing on a PC or a Mac. If viewed on a PC all that is seen is a Blank page with no text, and if it had a graphic no graphic is shown. If however; the person on the other end happens to have Acrobat or Reader 6 they can view the Acrobat 6 Files. And If they have 7 they can see the 6 and 7 files as well as anything below. However; most of the PC viewers I deal with still use Acrobat or Reader 5. Its these viewers I find that can't view the files. I've noticed also that when you do getinfo on a Acro/Reader, or 7 File created on my computer that in the thumbnail preview, all you see is the Acrobat A symbol, or a Blank thumbnail. Opening in 7 they can be viewed. Opening in 5 (I still have a OS9 Drive and e.5.0.5 installed) all I get is a Blank page no text and no Graphics if any in the content. SO every since 6 and 7 have come out I've had to save, then optimize for Acrobat 5 in order for my readers to see the pdf's.

How do I protect my FLV files? or How to encrypt and decrypt FLV files using AIR?

Hi,
I am working on an AIR application, which is developed on eLearning concept. The application mainly deals with flv files. The application contains a video player component, which will stream flv files from an Apache Server and played in my application. Here my concern is I would like to protect my flv files some how against users who may stream them from Apache Server and use them without my application.
I thought of with an idea to do it. But I don't know whether it will work or not. So I am requesting for your suggestions and better ways to do this with a sample.
Here is my thought:
I would like to place the encrypted FLV files at Apache Server side [ Need to know how to encrpt the FLV files using Flex]
As my AIR application send a request for a FLV file, the Apache server should send the decryption key and a stream of FLV file.
AIR application should take the decryption key, stream of flv file and it should capable enough to decrypt the FLV file and play it in my application. [ But I don't know how to encrypt/decrypt FLV files through flex]
I can do encryption of FLV files using Mac Address of Apache Server system and using Java. But I don't know how can I decrypt the same FLV file ( Encrypted using Mac Address and java ) at AIR application side.
So I would be greatfull If any body help me in encrypting and decrypting of FLV file with a sample using Flex 3.0.
Thanks

Is it because the portable drive is NTFS format and the Mac wont recognise this? If so what do I do?
Yes, this is exactly what is causing the problem. Macs cannot write to NTFS formatted drives, only read. You must move the documents to the internal HDD/SSD of the Mac to be able to edit them.
Or, since you say you don't want to move the documents to the internal storage, you'll need to format the external HDD as FAT32.

Problem playing streaming FLV

Hi ppl,
I'm trying to play streaming FLV files using FLVPlayback
component.
Some of those FLV files have different resolution. When the
FLVPlayback property "maintainAspectRatio" is set to "true", it
runs correctly, but, sometimes, with some black bars or spaces on
the right because the component resized it and let the same aspect
ratio.
When I set that property to "false", the FLV video fits
exactly the size of the component area, but when I click to change
to next video, it fails, the component doesn't play the next video
=\
I searched and found that was a bug of the FLVplayback
component, so I updated it and didn't resolve..
Any suggestion?
Thanks...

I think you need to create a Video object, drag it to the
stage, set its dimensions, give it a name (try "theVideo") and then
in actionscript, prior to _ns.play(), run this:
theVideo.attachVideo(_ns);
Then call _ns.play(). See if that helps!

Can you display multiple photos on one page with slide tool to transition between them?

Hi Folks,
I have a series of photos taken from the exact same location but on different days. I would like to display them on one page but use a slide tool/bar to move or transition between the photos. If the slide bar can display the date of the photo then that would be great.
Can this be done in adobe?
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

A Steve mentioned you can use a button to display an image. If you use JavaScript, you wouldn't have to show/hide multiple buttons but could instead dynamically set the button icon programmatically. The setup for something like this is a bit involved, but it's not overly complicated. Post again if you'd like more details.
The slide bar is the thing that would have to faked as there is no such built-in control, but something functionally equivalent could be done, it just may not behave as smoothly as you want.

Multiple .flv files out of syc after first video

On a PC with W7, office 2010 and CP6.
When embedding multiple .flv files in CP6, and running the published html5 presentation off my local drive, only first .flv file is in sync after publishing in html5. The 2nd .flv video is out of sync.
I’m running CP6 on a PC with several information slides and one slide with an embedded .flv file. Then a few more information slides and a second slide with another embedded .flv file. Preview mode looks fine on both videos. The original mp4 videos that I imported into CP6 which it converted to .flv files works fine as well.
When I publish the file in html5 only, and launch the file off a local drive the first video runs fine but the second one is out of sync. Repeated publishing doesn’t help. I’ve inserted other videos and the same problem occurs on the second video. Also the control bars that I put below the .flv video don’t show up in hmtl5 published format.
Why is the second video out of sync. My goal is to have 4-5 short .flv embedded videos in the presentation with information slides preceding each video.
When I go to the published folder:
and click individually on the videos the first one runs fine, the second one is out of sync – same as when I launch the index.htm file off my local drive.
When I copy the files to my Mac, and run off the local drive I have the same problem.
Need some help here.

Could be the encoding. Never heard of that software.
You could possibly convert the files in iTunes by right clicking and choosing conversion for AppleTv option but that takes time and will only work for things iTunes can play natively. There may be better options but MPEGStreamclip is a versatile free video converter as I believe is the latest version of the Handbrake utility.

Play another flv file in between a flv file

Hi,
I am trying to find a way to play another flv file in between
a flv file. Say, I play flv A for 10 seconds then play flv B and
then resume back to flv A where it just stopped.
Is it possible to do this and roughly how to do it?
Thanks!

No it can't, you need SWF to load the file within.
