Flash video, cut around a person (floating person)

looking for direction.. I'd like to record someone talking, and somehow cut out around the person to use in Flash. So I can fill in the background or put the person over an image or something. Any ideas on software or people who can do this? Thanks a lot

probably the cheapest way would be to use premiere elements.
research this product and "green screen", you will find some tutorials.
basically you shoot your video with a green screen behind a person.
the video program removes all the green and leaves "transparent space"
you can composite this video over anything and it will show through.

Cutting around a person

Does any one have any good trick to quickly cut around people, objects are ok with the "refine edge tool" but people, particulary the hair is hard to do..
Any help would be great

Here a technique from "How to Cheat in Photoshop", which says works best if shot against a single color. Cut out the image loosely around the hair (lots of space). Load Background Eraser tool and choose brush size- medium, sampling-once for plain background or Continuous if varied background, limits-discontinuous to erase background surrounded by hair, tolerance-too high and will erase hair,too low won't erase background, and check protect foreground color.
If background white it is helpful to make new layer filled with solid color so you can more clearly see what is being erased. The crosshairs in center of tool will pick up color to erase. If you get into the area around something you don't want erased (like shoulder) hold down alt key and click shoulder color, it then becomes the protected foreground color. Change foreground color as you work around image.
This is from the book, have not tried this. Good luck.

Video Chat Not Working with one person

On iChat I like to do video chat but with a certain person It says: "Starting Video Chat with: name" then it waits... and says There was a communication error during your chat. But my video chat works perfect with other people? How can I fix this?

Hi,

Most likely it the way both end routing devices do NAT.
See item 3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Networkaddresstranslation
NAT is not a Standard but is a description of what is being done and can be done various ways.
Not allow implementations by manufacturers are compatible with other manufacturers implementations.
UPnP seems to help.

Remove Black Border Around Embedded Flash Video

Hi-
I have searched on the Web without luck, so again I have to
turn tot he forum for help. I believe this should be simple and
straightforward, but doesn't appear so. I have a simple little
Flash video embedded in a plain old web page created with DW8. When
the page is displayed in my web browser it has a thin black border
around the video. I would like to remove this border (such as one
might with image border=0). I have tried several "fixes" ranging
from setting the BODY margin height to 0 to altering my external
style sheet. None of these worked. I even created a fresh web page
with no external style sheet at all and the border is still there.
How on earth do I get rid of that ugly thing? Any help is greatly
appreciated.
-=SB

can we see this border? URL?

Flash Video Exporter plugin for FInal Cut Pro

Does anybody know how to install the Flash Video Exporter
plugin for Final Cut Pro so it shows up as an option in FCP?
I want to create FLVs directly from FCP.
Thanks

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flv_exporter_03.htm
Scroll Down - its about mid page
This is on the intro page:
Note: You must have Flash MX Professional 2004 installed on
your machine to use the Flash Video Exporter with your video
editing application. The only exception is using the exporter in
Demo Mode.

Final Cut Pro, Flash Video Encoder & Flash Player

Well, let's get started.... I'm getting real frustrated with
Adobe. I emailed them about this problem two months ago and NEVER
got a response. This is extremely unacceptable product support. We
just purchased the Creative Suite Premium two months ago and have
never gotten Flash Video Encoder to properly encode a Quicktime
video exported from Final Cut Pro.
I have heard from a few on the Final Cut Pro forum on
Creative COW that there is a bug with this issue between Flash and
Final Cut Pro. Adobe doesn't seem to care if I report it, so that's
why I am here.
I create my program as usual, export a Quicktime file (not
reference video, but a full self-contained Quicktime). BTW, I have
Quicktime 7.2 on my Mac Pro Quad 3.0 with 8 gig of RAM. I open
Flash Video Encoder to make my flash files. Import the Quicktime
and select my settings which are custom. I set it to encode and
wait for the encoding to be done. It takes about 1 1/2 hours to
encode a 23 minute program. After the encode is finished, I check
the Flash file by opening it up. BTW, I also have installed a copy
of On2 Flix Exporter, which encodes Flash files, too. The On2 Flash
player is the only player that works. Adobe's Flash player opens
but it won't open ANY Flash files.
Has anyone seen this?

When I try to import it on FCPX it says "None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again." and even on Compressor it either doesn't play and fails to convert, or else it plays only a the audio but once I've completed the process the outputted file doesn't play anything.
Here's a screenshot at my different attempts to convert it. I managed to get the record the video on VLC, but I can't record the audio so I tried getting only the audio form Compressor as well, but like I said the outputted file doesn't play any audio even though it's as long as the video (36 mins approx.).

I have a mac book pro and when I turned on iChat it would not let me video chat with more then one person even though I was able to in the past. It only showed an icon to video chat with one person. Please help!!

Hi,
Check the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth setting.
iChat needs to see a Minimum of 128kbps to do 1-1 chats in Video
For 3 and 4 way chats it needs 384kbps
Set the Bandwidth to 500kbps if it is set lower.
Also check the speed you are getting from your Internet supplier.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in earlier versions there is only one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

FF7 / Windown 7 Taskbar floats above fullscreen Flash video

Since upgading to FF7, the Windows 7 taksbar floats above fullscreen Flash video.
I've updated to FF 7.01, updated the Flash player to 10.3.183.10, disabled all other plugins and extensions, and the problem persists.
For the moment, I have to autohide the taksbar in Windows when watching fullscreen video.
Happens on YouTube and Vimeo and all other video sites I've tested.

Found a fix. It was something to do with my DPI settings in Windows.
corduroy1979 says:
'''Right click on your Firefox icon (not the one in your task bar), if it's not on your desktop, find it in the Mozilla Firefox program folder.
After right clicking, select Properties, then the Compatibility tab, then check the box that says Disable display scaling on high DPI settings.
That's it. I'm now back to using 200% DPI and have no problems with fullscreen videos. What a pain in the ass! '''

Snapz Pro to Final Cut to Flash Video - Resolution Problems

For my student job I'm supposed to make web video and I have a guidebook that explains how to do it. However, I have found some problems that have screwed up some things.
So I have captured video from Snapz Pro and I did this by setting the display resolution at 800x600 so that text can be readable. Now I set my selection capture at the same setting so that my final .mov file is 800x600 with good readable text.
The issue is when I get into FCP HD 4.5!
My final output is 480x320 MPEG-4 for flash video.
My guidebook tells me to set the sequence setting to 480x320, square pixels and MPEG-4 Video.
The problem is that when I bring in the 800x600 .mov file, I have pixelation problems and the video quality is markedly decreased.
I haven't been able to figure out the best approach but I need to change something for sure.
Any tips or ideas?

You in the same class with Timothy Mosbach by any chance?
Anyway, Timothy and I went through this exact issue in this thread:

Flash Video Jerky / Choppy Fullscreen Chrome

I've been having this problem for a couple of years using Flash video across ALL websites. When I play a full screen flash video, the video gets choppy or jerky. The audio continues perfectly. I'm a pretty tech and computer savvy person, so I have tried a lot of the fixes I could think of. I ended up finding one SOLUTION to the jerky video that works EVERY SINGLE TIME. If I right-click the full-screen video, and allow the settings menu to remain on top of the video while it plays, I NEVER have issues with jerky or choppy video. If I cancel the settings menu, the jerkiness returns immediately and remains throughout the video duration. To help diagnose this, here's my specs and stuff I have tried.
Dell 1764 running Win 7 x64 on a Core i5 processor, 4Gig RAM.
all builds of chrome in the last couple of years, w/ and w/out the included flash (i.e. disabling in about:plugins).
24mbps cable connection, with no buffering issues noted
Cleared cookies, history, temp files, ran anti-virus and spyware.
Have always been up-to-date w/ windows updates.
Fullscreen videos that do work flawlessly:
Netflix using the Silverlight plugin. Youtube HTML5 videos. Any DVD's or downloaded videos play perfectly in VLC and MPC.
So, in summation: Flash vidoes in fullscreen are Jerky/choppy using Chrome browser. When I right-click and allow that menu to remain on top, jerkiness goes away. Cancel the right-click menu, problems return.

No worries. I appreciate the feedback, and just want to make sure I'm understanding the data that I'm collecting clearly.
We're aware that there are random short-lived problems that happen during transitions in and out of full-screen and scrubbing. We have a number of bugs open on the engineering team around it. In general, these are usually complex timing-related problem with a bunch of interrelated, moving parts (codec, network latency, buffering, stream quality, hardware, browser, etc). They're really hard to debug. It continues to be a big area of focus for both the dev and quality engineering teams, and something we're investing a lot of time and energy into improving.
Also, it's worth pointing out that we test a pretty large matrix of graphics cards, and we partner directly with many of the GPU vendors -- but there's a ton of fragmentation and we can't check every single card that's out there in the world. If we see a bunch of bugs coming in about a particular configuration, we do our best to track the card down and take a look.
If you find instances where you're able to reproduce playback problems consistently, please file a bug. Include a direct link to the video/videos that you can consistently reproduce the video problems with, and include the output of dxdiag (or the graphics card info from the System Information tool on Mac). OS and Browser versions are also very useful.
I'm not personally involved in the work around PPAPI for Flash Player, but we have a whole team working on building a great experience for Chrome and Pepper. Disabling PepperFlash where it's enabled will generally cause Chrome to fall back to the stanadard NPAPI-based Flash Player instead. Keep an eye out for announcements about preview releases for Flash Player on PPAPI -- I'm sure the team will appreciate your feedback once they become available.

"walkout" flash video

Anyone know where I can find a tutorial on the topic of
havering a "person" walkout "on top" of my web page in a flash
video?
thanks

Flash can help with video editing and preparation for Web
deployment but you may be better off with another program, like
After Effects, depending on what you are shooting and what you want
to achieve.
You have a number of things to do to get the final result .
Shoot the video, edit and prepare for the Web and then add to your
Web page. You can start your research at the Flash developer
center:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/video.html
There are many other detailed tutorials out there and I
recommend Lee Brimelow's site gotoandlearn.com. The site is down at
the moment but you can still get to the dowloads page here:
http://www.gotoandlearn.com/download.php
Checkout the 8 part video basics tutorials for all the
information that you will need on Flash handling of Video.
These tips don't address the way to shoot video and if you
are not sure how to do that then check out sites like NAPP and
there may be some Podcasts that cover some basics, too.
NAPP is for digital photographers but the subject matter
extends to the Adobe family of products and there are usually some
links to video related stuff if you hunt around the site and links:

Flash videos playing weirdly in firefox - malformed

I have had this problem for a long time, running through all versions of Firefox 3 (including the latest 3.5 preview releases).
I am updated to the latest version of Flash, and am running Windows XP (also fully up to date).
All flash videos play fine in IE8.
On some sites, while videos are playing, the picture flicks quickly between a normal picture and the effect shown in the screenshot - the usual image tiny, with weird blurred lines around it. This continues through the whole video, flicking very rapidly, and making the video effectively unwatchable. The effect remains even when the video is paused. I've attached screenshots below which should make the nature of the distortion clear.
I have experienced the problem most on Youtube (as I use this more than other video sites). The only other site I have noted the problem on is facebook video. Metacafe, Google Videos, Dailymotion, Vimeo and BBC iPlayer did not exhibit any distortion.
On Youtube, it is sometimes possible to play videos properly by switching to high quality, but usually it does the same thing, but flicking to a much larger picture, so it only seems to be blurry around the very edges.
I should also mention that embedded YouTube videos play fine on other pages.
My computer is pretty old - with an AMD Athlon Processor 996 MHz and 752 MB of RAM - but definitely has the capacity to play these videos, as it manages on Internet Explorer.
I created a thread on the firefox support forums before I came here - not much progress was made, but I should mention a few details of the only other reported case of this problem.
"Matt" seems to be experiencing the same problem on Firefox, also with a pretty old computer, but on Windows 2000, not XP. He reports the same problem on Opera also on his computer; I haven't tested this on my system.
Personally, I am at a complete loss with this problem - I have no idea how it can be caused, or fixed, and it's a major obstacle to casual web browsing. (I have to load Internet Explorer just to watch a youtube video!)
I really hope someone is able to shed some light on this issue; please ask if you would like any more details on my system.
Thanks.
(Ben)

Hello all,
Yes to follow up Ben, I'm experiencing the exact same problems as him. I changed browser to Firefox 3.0.11 a couple of months ago and hence downloaded the Flash plugin for Firefox. I noticed the issue straight away in Youtube, but not on other sites. As I attributed the problem to Firefox, I then downloaded Opera 9.64 - but experienced the same problem. This led me to believe the issue was the Flash plugin, as both browsers are served by the same Adobe plugin for 'alternative browsers' to IE.
I then tried IE6 again in youtube and it didn't have the problem on standard view, however the problem was (and still is) occurring in full screen view. I'm nearly 100% sure this problem didn't occur before I downloaded the Flash plugin for Firefox / Opera. Regardless of whether that is the issue, the problem was definitely not happening on my system in IE6 earlier this year.
As Ben said, my computer is fairly old but well managed and up to date. OS is Windows 2000 SP4, system is AMD Athlon 900 (slot A), 512 Mb RAM, 16Mb Voodoo 3 graphics, m/board MSI MS-6191.
I've also tried removing the Flash plugin for Firefox/Opera and for IE6 and reinstalling it but had no joy there either. I would try an updated version of IE too but IE6 is the last version compatible with Win 2k.
Any help appreciated, thanks.
Matt

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

What does this error means and how can I correct the

Thanks,

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

Flash video, cut around a person (floating person)
