Flash Video Arrives in Adobe Acrobat 9

Adobe has released Acrobat 9. The newly released version now allows Flash Video contents, which makes it more powerful for business presentation.
Actually, the concept of using multimedia files in PDF documents is nothing new. In the previous versions of Acrobat, you are able to embed QuickTime video and other formats into a PDF file. But you need an external media player installed on your computer for playing the video. Now in Adobe Acrobat 9, video can be played within a PDF document with no need to have any media player installed. Thus makes it more convenience to share.
This is a challenging feature which will affect its surroundings. As we know, the similar program for business presentation, PowerPoint, now only supports video and SWF import. If you want to import an FLV file, you must convert the file to WMV, AVI, or MPEG, etc. which can be perfectly done with our product, Moyea FLV to Video Converter Pro 2.
The following passages are some notable features related to video import:
The powerful business version Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended provides more favorable features.
Deliver a compelling branded experience using PDF Portfolios
Create interactive, on-demand presentations with Adobe Presenter
Easily share video in PDF files
Share 3D designs and PDF maps
With Acrobat 9 Pro, you can insert FLV or H.264 video for direct playback in Adobe Acrobat® and Adobe Reader. New Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro even enhances Creative Suite 3.3 which is the indispensable toolkit for professional design and print production.
The Extended version provides even more powerful functions:
Easily adding audio, video, and quizzes to your PowerPoint slides and create rich, interactive presentations with Adobe Presenter (included)
Convert a variety of video formats to FLV for playback in PDF
Embed video in Microsoft Word or PowerPoint and convert to FLV in PDF
Convert 3D content to PDF for cross-platform sharing and collaboration
Combine multiple CAD formats in one assembly and save as PDF with Adobe 3D Reviewer (included)
Convert 2D and 3D designs from major CAD applications to PDF for use by extended teams without expensive CAD or viewer software
Create PDF maps by importing geospatial files that retain metadata and coordinates
In a word, Adobe 9 will totally change the communication and association of electronic files.

No video works on Adobe Acrobat DC / Adobe Reader on iOS iPad iPhone ?

It seem's that Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat DC are not able to play video included in PDF with Acrobat desktop.
I don't understand why because Dropbox, PDF Expert and ezPDF Reader have implemented this feature !
At least Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat must not show the "poster image" (iBooks is able to do that)
Thanks for any answer or comment !

Same question for audio: it does not seem to work

CHOPPY FLASH VIDEO PLAYBACK WITH ADOBE FLASH VERSION 10-11

I'm having a problem as described in a previous post re: Choppy flash videos, pictures, etc.. Youtube, megavideo any videos viewed online appear fine at first and then after 10-15 mins, start showing choppy. The audio was not a problem before, but I have noticed that it is being affected as well. I saw some posts on another forum a few days ago that recommended disabling flash player 11 in my chrome browser plugins and enabling verion 10 (which was available, but has since upgraded) and version 10 was working fine until it upgraded to 11 again. Now I have no options to revert to version 10 again.
My system info is below:
Sony:
OS - Windows 7
64 bit
Browser Chrome 16.0.912.77
Browser FireFox 9.0.1
Browser IE 9
Browser Safari 5.1.2
Flash Player 11,1,102,55
McAfee (came with the upgrade of flash player)
This is very frustrating. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, rebooting the browser, my pc, deleting cache files and cookies...NOTHING IS WORKING. CPU usage is between 20-35% when a video is active in my browser. I think that is normal, but I know that the choppy playback is not and it's only getting worse. Please HELP!
I hope this NEW POST will suffice as per your requirements.

When the video is choppy, how much CPU and RAM usage is occurring? Do you have a graphics control panel that shows how much video RAM is in use when the video is choppy?
Do you have a list of sites and videos where the video is choppy?
If you don't want the McAffee add-on, remove it.

Bass-sound disappear when exporting to Adobe Flash Video format

I'm making a guitar-tutorial on video, and want to export parts of it to Adobe Flash video by using Adobe Media Encoder. But when I do that, it sounds like the bass-sound of the band disappear. The sound generally becomes low also. Maybe there is a connection. Anyway, with the sound I have now, I can't use the video in flash format :-(
I've tried bitrates of both 128 and 256 kbps, which should be more than plenty.
Help would be appreciated.

Umm....I assume you're exporting from FCP using QuickTime conversion,
so you can choose a QuickTime movie, H.264, and choose
Frame Rate: Current
Key Frames: Automatic
Frame Reordering: Checked
Quality: Best
Encoding: Best
Data Rate: Automatic ... which then means you don't need to choose DVD/CDROM.
Give that a try and see how it looks.

Why does my exported mp4 file look so bad when it is viewed in adobe acrobat pdf file?

I have embedded an mp4 (exported from premier pro cs6) video file into adobe acrobat and its not sharp viewing of my video anymore. It was a sharp video when viewed in both premier and the exported mp4 files, but once embedded in acrobat it looses sharpness, anyone know what the problem might be? Could my settings in adobe acrobat be wrong? I would think the problem is in adobe acrobat since the exported mp4 video views crisp and clear before its embedded, any ideas to assure sharpness with my video after its embedded into the adobe acrobat pdf?
Hoping someone has an answer to this, I think my problem might lie within the adobe acrobat settings????
or maybe there is no way around and I need to expect this video not to look as crisp and clear after I embed it into acrobat.... as it is when viewing in premier pro, mp4, etc.????
Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated.
Someone Im sure is taking theri exported premier files and embedding them to create pdf files? Would love to hear if anyone has encountered this issue.
Thanks so much in advance for any help offered.

Hi Dave,
I just completed a test and comparison between the two PDF's,
compared the file as you suggested with the floating option and changing setting to actual size of the original premier pro / mp4 file size and
the old pdf that did not utilize the floating and file size option.
I do notice a slight difference. The PDF with the floating window with the match of the media clips original dimensions appears to be crisper.
I will be having the final pdf document set utilizing this method for the embeded mp4 movie and hope that the department doing this (next stage of this job) will agree that this is better to use your steps to embed all the video files into a pdf.
Thanks so much for your time.
Hope you had a happy holiday, and hope you have a very happy and healthy new year.
Thanks, Amy

FCP Freezes When Exporting to Flash Video (FLV)

Final Cut Pro 7.0.2 freezes when exporting to Flash Video (FLV). The resulting FLV file contains only a few seconds of the exported video. A 2009 Apple Support notice offers this re. FCP 6 and CS3 Flash Video Encoder...

Final Cut Pro: May quit unexpectedly when exporting to Flash
Last Modified: February 13, 2009
Article: TS2593
Symptoms
Final Cut Pro may quit unexpectedly when you export using QuickTime Conversion if you choose Flash Video (FLV) from the Format menu.
Products Affected
Final Cut Pro 6.x, Adobe Creative Suite 3 Flash Video Encoder
Resolution
This can happen if you use the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Flash Video Encoder and Final Cut Pro together. This issue does not occur with the Flash Video Encoder in Adobe Creative Suite 4. To work around the issue:
Choose File > Export > QuickTime Movie.
Be sure to enable Make Movie Self-Contained.
Open the exported movie in QuickTime Player.
Export the movie to Flash from QuickTime Player.
===
I just installed CS5, so I would think I shouldn't be bothered with an older, problematic Flash Video Encoder. I don't think I should have to convert an MOV file to an FLV file using QuickTime Reader or anything else. Why doesn't it export correctly out of FCPro 7.0.2?

oh well.

Create Flash Video to Stream on my Website....

I believe I ought to be able to render a flash video from my Adobe Premiere CS3 or After Effects CS3 and then stream it on my website. Problem is that's as far as it gets. I haven't had any luck actually doing it. Anybody have any ideas?

Yeah, it's frustrating. I guess the YouTube and Vimeo people have been doing this for a while and they're pretty good at it!!
I gave up trying to get as good quality from Flash renders, now I just embed everything from Vimeo.
I did do a series of tests last year on YouTube to try to find the "sweet spot" of bitrate. I put up about 6 HD videos of varying CBR. There was a cutoff where any further increas in bitrate made no improvement.
You could do a similar test if you like and try to find that "sweet spot"?

Without seeing this is a guess, but if you are linking to the
swf directly
then that is what happens. Create a new page with the movie
on it and link
to it, then it should size correctly.

Audition CS6 Flash Video

Hi,
today I downloaded the Audition CS6 trial. I have used CS5 a while back, but mostly use Ableton these days. However, thought I'd give Audition a whirl. Following a tutorial to try it out, I came to the Video Clip ( Lynda.com - Audition CS6 Essential Training - 02 03. Importing video files).
I found that AVI files were only loading the audio and Flash Video files were reported as either corrupt (incorrectly) or unsupported. After some investigation (prompted by the error message) I followed the Adobe comment in this regard "To enable the following formats, select Enable DLMS Format Support in the Media & Disk Cache preferences. (This option is off by default for maximum performance.) AVI/FLV/R3D/SWF/WMV". This allowed me then to load .F4V flash video files, but still gave the corrupt/unsupported error (without the help suggesting the setting which is now set of course) when attempting .FLV files. The files in question work fine in several video players I have on my machine.
The noticeable difference in the file heaqders (binary) is as follows:
[F4V - working] hex: 00 00 00 1C 66 74 79 70 6D 70 34 32 Text: .....ftypmp42
[FLV not working] hex: 46 4C 56 01 05 00 00 00 09 00 00 00 Text: FLV.........
Therefore, they appear to be different versions of Flash Video - F4V is actually MP4, whereas FLV is Flash Video (video/x-flv).
Adobe states here : http://helpx.adobe.com/audition/using/supported-file-formats.html#video_file_formats that FLV is supported (MP4 was supported in CS5 I believe anyway).
So, the question is...does Audition CS6 really support FLV (aka Flash Video) - or just Adobe suffixed MP4 files? (If so, how do we get it to?)
The test machine is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 (running both ASIO and MME). Au Cache on a second drive. 4Gb Ram (DDR2) quad processor 3.8Ghz, planty of HDD space.
I am a teacher based in Asia, so we (the school) do not have a lot of money to throw about - the machine is fairly high spec, but we do not have any Apple hardware here, so it has to be Windows [I have an Educator/School Adobe Account Id, so we will go that route if at all]. Controller was not connected/No midi or digital sound devices (other than the sound card) attached. Test videos were the f4v file from Lydia and a YouTube download of Blondie, Call Me (although I tried other .flv's in case of corruption - and as they play on VLC/Adobe Player/Windows Media Player, it is unlikely).
Sorry if this has been mentioned before - I did look, but could only find mention of the setting already set as mentioned above (and I did restart Au after changing it - and did check it was still set on reload). Other comments were related to Premiere Pro (which is not on the machine - neither is either of the Flash builders - only Flash Player 10.3 I think as 11 was causing some CPU issues a while back with video streaming).
Thanks for any help in this regard.
Richard.

That´s possible with Audition 3.0, but in wmv format (and avi format)... Maybe appears soon an update with this missing feature... in CS7 version??? :O
P.S.: I think we all need Adobe Premiere Pro, to export video files from Audition CS6.

Creating a Dynamic Playlist for Progressive Flash Video

Hi
I just finished reading the Creating a Dynamic Playlist for
Progressive Flash Video (
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/prog_download.html)
tutorial, and it gives a pretty good overview, however I would like
to be able to add the ability to stop and start the video as well,
and the tutorial doesn't really explain how the embedded video
works. Does anyone know how this can be accomplished, or at least
know where I can find information on how to do this.
Thanks

I worked on the same project and it is working alright and
still interested in adding more features like play pause etc ....
but for now I'm more interested in adding the buffering bar and
progress bar.
Any help is welcome.

Adobe Acrobat Installer

I have no idea how this Adobe Acrobat Installer got installed. Went to update flash, get the message "Adobe Acrobat Installer, Only a single Instance of this Application Can Run". I do not have Acrobat or Reader, only Air. I cannot install Flash. Now what? And, no I cannot find this Adobe Installer.

[discussion moved to Acrobat Installation & Update Issues forum]

Adobe reader XI no longer plays video or audio embedded in PDF created with Adobe Acrobat X Pro.

Help please!
Embedded video and audio content in PDFs created using Adobe Acrobat X Pro does NOT play on some school computers after Acrobat Reader XI is installed. The media content played fine with Acrobat X. This is seen with both XP and Windows 7 machines.
Bizarrely, other machines with Windows 7 and XP play the video and audio content fine when Acrobat XI is installed.
Please help, as the PDFs are the delivery mechanism for a very effective literacy programme for children, and this bug has halted delivery for a considerable number of schools and thousands of children are in trouble!

Hi Raman,
I think we have found the source of the problem. It relates to how different browsers are detected by Adobe when updating Flash Player.
To make the videos play within PDFs either from DVD or on the hard drive, it is now essential that Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin (now version 11.5.502.113) is installed. (Adobe Reader 10 had its own internal flash player, so an external player was not needed)
We have discovered that, when Google Chrome is the browser, automatic updates of Flash do NOT download this programme. Flash 11 ActiveX is the only programme that is downloaded, and the videos do NOT play from DVD or harddrive.
Also, it is not possible to manually download Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin as this option is not presented to the user. Presumably Adobe have set it up this way, because the Adobe site recognises Chrome is being used, and assumes that the computer does not need the plugin flash player, as Chrome has its own internal flash player. However, other programmes may need it!
We went to FileHippo to download the non-IE version (even though we were using Chrome!) at
http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox/
Then the videos played from DVD or harddrive.
I have not been able to test how this works with other browsers. I hope that Adobe can sort this problem out asap!
regards
Buffy

Thin Black Border on Video in Interactive PDF (Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional)

Hi
I am having issues with embedded video in an interactive pdf (currently using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional).
I have placed my media mp4 file in the pdf. I would like the video to have no border, so I proceeded to Multimedia Properties to edit the Appearance and set the Border Type to Invisible Rectangle. I also editted the Playback settings for the Rendition to keep the player open "Forever once activated." But every time I view pages in my interactive pdf with video there is still a thin black border surrounding the videos on initial play. If I have already viewed the video and come back to the page, the border dissapears.
Is there a way to ensure the thin black border/outline never appears in the pdf, even when first opening and viewing the file? Does this have to do with the Acrobat 8 in particular? Please let me know if you are also encountering this problem or have a solution.

Thank you so much for your help.
I am now working in Adobe Acrobat X Pro and have embedded the same video. The borders have disappeared.
I have set the video activation settings to enable when "The page containing the content is opened". When the page is opened, I am now seeing a grey box (the size of the video) flash before the video is played. Do you know of a way to not have the grey box appear before the video plays? Or is there even a way to edit the color of this box so it is a less noticeable transition in my documet? I assume this is some sort of default setting to be displayed when the video loads. Any suggestions regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Embedded Videos in Adobe Acrobat X Pro

Hi
When viewing an interactive pdf I have created with embedded .flv files in Adobe Acrobat X Pro, there is a grey box (the size of the video) that quickly flashes before the file is played. I have set the video activation settings to enable when "The page containing the content is opened". Every time I open a page with video, the grey box appears before the video plays.
Is there a way to not have the grey box appear before the video plays? Or is there even a way to edit the color of this box so it is a less noticeable transition in my documet? I assume this is some sort of default setting to be displayed when the video loads.
Any suggestions regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Video in PDF is stored in a compressed format (flate), which has to be uncompressed at the point the annotation is activated. Depending on the video and the system specs of the viewer this can take a second or two, during which time the playback widget has nothing to show. You'll tend to see either a blank space, or the default color of the Flash stage.
With the Multimedia>Video tool you can't change the stage color, but if you manually add the video widget and resources using the Multimedia>SWF tool there's an option to make it transparent.
