Flash Video (FLV)

I inserted a Flash video into a slide, but the video will not
loop or auto rewind even after I have selected the "auto rewind"
button. Any advice about how to get the video to loop or auto
rewind?
Thanks for your help again!
Dean

Hi Dean
I'm wondering if it's because your .FLV file needs metadata
added to it. You may wish to review fellow Community Expert and
Instructor John Daigle's site
ShowMeTheDemo and see if you
can glean any information there.
Cheers... Rick

  • FCP Freezes When Exporting to Flash Video (FLV)

    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.

  • Problem Inserting Flash Video (flv) File into Site

    Hi -
    I'm having problems inserting a Flash Video (.flv) into my webpage.  I'm using Dreamweaver 8.
    I'm going to: Insert -  Media - Flash Video, browsing to the .flv file that's in my local site folder, entering the settings.
    In Dreamweaver, there's a big gray box w/ flv icon in the middle.  But when I go to preview, the screen is empty, no video.
    I'm creating the .flv file w/ Screen Mimic (a screen capture recording software).  This could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others.  This is the first video that I've made that I'm trying to insert. 
    If anyone has any suggestions, I would be most appreciative.
    thanks!
    Stacey Stanley

    This could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others.
    That would my guess too. Here are few other things to consider:
    1)  Does your FLV filename contain any spaces or special characters?  If so, rename it without spaces as these can cause problems.
    2)  Output Screen Mimic project to a QuickTime MOV file.  Then use Adobe Flash Encoder to convert the MOV to FLV.
    3)  When you tested your page, was it a live page on remote server?  Did you upload the page and all supporting files to server (Scripts folder, SWF, FLV...)?

  • Hide controls flash video (flv)

    Is there a way to hide the controls on a flash video (flv) until the user scrolls over the video? So the page opens, the video starts playing (still no controls visable) and then when a user scrolls over the video, you then see the controls for the first time. I have searched high and low.
    Thanks
    Paul

    Thanks for your assistance Jim....
    I can't view the code in the library or action script. I am using a default skins (Corona Skin 3) that you apply through dreamweaver "Insert Media > Flash Video". I open up the skin in Flash, but it is a swf and I can't seem to find any code to alter.
    Here is a link to what the video where the client wants the hidden controls :
    http://www.harithproductions.com/index09.html
    I did find a more transparent skin, so If I can't figure it out, maybe he can live with it.
    I am not experienced in editing the skins, so I apologize for being a little naive.

  • Problem Inserting Flash Video (.flv) File in Page Using Dreamweaver CS4's Insert Media Command

    I am using Dreamweaver CS4.
    I am attempting to put a Flash Video (.flv) file on a standard HTML page in Dreamweaver.
    When I either click the Insert Flash Video in the Common tab on the Dreamweaver toolbar, or if I choose Insert > Media > FLV to inert the video, I get the standard Dreamweaver FLV interface. I make my choices, click OK, and when the video is place on the page, I get the following dialog box:
    "While executing inspectSelection in flvProgressive.htm, a JavaScript error occurred."
    with an OK button.
    If I preview the page, all that loads are the various buttons of the skin that I have chosen and no video.
    Anyone have an idea what is going on?

    Are you sure you aren't working with a template driven page?
    When you insert media files into DW, it must write code in the <head> tags to reference Scripts necessary for Flash media to work on the web. 
    If you're working with a page that was created from a Template, the DWT page must have editable regions in the <head> tags, or you won't be able to add media to your web pages.

  • IMovie '08: Movie to Flash Video (FLV)?

    Hello,
    Long story short, I sent some the below directions to a co-worker on how he could export an FLV from iMovie '08... but he told me that he did not have the "Movie to Flash Video (FLV)" option. Do the below directions not apply to all copies of iMovie '08?
    1. Go to menu: "Share" and choose "Export Using Quicktime"
    2. From the "Export:" drop-down, choose "Movie to Flash Video (FLV)"
    3. Click the "Options" button, and use these settings:
    -- "Profiles" tab: Choose "Flash 8 - Medium Quality (400kbps)"
    -- "Video" tab: Leave as default settings, but change "Max data rate"
    to "464", and "Key frame intraval" to "6".
    -- "Audio" tab: If your video has audio, choose "Encode audio" and set
    the "Data rate:" to "48 kbps (mono)"
    -- "Cue Points" tab: Leave at default settings.
    -- "Crop and Resize" tab: Choose "Resize video". All videos should be
    set at 480px width... So, if your video is 720x480, you would scale it
    to 480x320 (4:3 ratio). 1920x1080 would scale down to 480x270 (HD 16:9 ratio.)
    - Hide quoted text -
    4. Click "Ok"
    5. Choose a Save location under the "Where" drop-down.
    6. Click "Save".
    Your thoughts?
    Thanks!
    Cheers,

    Exporting QuickTime to Flash Video (.flv) requires a complete install of Adobe Flash software ($$$).
    QuickTime 7.4 has ended support for Flash Video inside QuickTime containers and you may run into other issues with the Adobe component because of this.
    The free Perian component did allow import of .flv into QuickTime Pro and export to QuickTime formats. That too has ended in version 7.4.
    Cheap way would be to upload to YouTube and let them convert and create your .flv file. Then just "borrow" the Flash Video file by opening the direct link and saving using a browser.

  • Placing object over flash video flv

    Hi folks
    I am trying to place a link and an image over the top of a
    FLV component using css
    HOWEVER the objects are always covered by the flv
    I have achieved it before with CSS when working with an image
    (i.e. image in one DIV and positioned relative and the overlaying
    objects in another DIV positioned absolute to the image DIV) but
    never with an SWF or FLV
    Can anyone tell/advise me how to achieve this IF it is indeed
    possible.
    Or alternately another way apart from putting the flv in a
    swf with the link embedded in the swf
    Any help or advice much appreciated

  • Flash Video (.flv) in Dreamweaver

    I can't find anything here or on teh net that tells me how to
    use a preloader with Flash Video inserted directly into DW. The
    standard answer is to create a .swf file in flash and use the
    preloader there. Duh! No kidding?
    Can anyone tell what the point is in having the capability of
    inserting a .flv file directly into an html file if you can't
    independently communicate to the user that he/she needs to wait for
    the thing to load? We've had that ability to insert a flash file
    for ages. Is this good only for VERY small .flv files that load
    almost instantly?

    No the one that auto plays when the page loads? Just
    wondering?
    This one works just fine
    http://www.neapco.com/Flash/intro.html
    however its
    kind of hard to find it. My eye is focused on the one that
    plays a loop and
    I never seen the other link until you posed back sorry. That
    link might be
    more effective right under the one that's playing, Just a
    thought.

  • Working with flash videos .flv format

    I got a bunch of .flv flash videos that I have to use (And archive first).
    The only program I found that display those files are
    - Adobe Media Player and
    - VLC
    I would rather be able to import them in iView Media pro to tag them first but since I cannot import them into iMovie09 either I ask here.
    What should I do?
    - bulk convert them first so that iView Media pro (and iMovie) would import them?
    Thanks for your creative ideas

    I have the same issue. Everything works great in Flash 7 and
    8. I am playing .flv files from a different spot in the server and
    I am calling them from a swf file.
    In Flash 9 the file won't play. Here is my sample file:
    http://ce.byu.edu/cw/yase/.
    The quick fix security.allowDomain("*"); has no impact on this
    call. I am using my_video.attachVideo(stream_ns); to load the
    video.
    I have changed the mime type in another server, restarted and
    I have the same problem. Any help would be great!

  • How to find encoding info of a Flash video (.flv) file?

    Is it possible to find out the encoding information, such as
    video and audio data rates, frame rate, codec used, etc, of a Flash
    video clip? If so, how? What tool/software I need to do this?
    I am able to find these (encoding) info for video clips if
    they are in Window Media or Real Media file formats. But I am not
    sure, whether there is way to find these info for Flash video clips
    as well.
    For example, we chose Flash Video format for one of our Web
    sites. Someone at work originally encoded a video clip for the site
    at nearly 900kbps (total data rate: video + audio). I asked it to
    be reduced to around 300kbps. Well, he resized the video and
    encoded the same clip at a lower data rate, but doesn't remember
    exactly what setting he used. Now, how do I find out the key
    information about encoding for this clip (i.e. data rate, fps,
    etc)?

    welcome to the mac side, im new also
    in windows we would right click and select 'properties' right?
    on apple you simply hold control 'ctrl' and then click on the folder you want, the control and click is macs equivanlent to windows' right click
    after you've 'ctrl' and clicked, select 'get info', get used to this 'get info' function as you'll probably use it alot, like i said, its like selecting 'properties' on windows
    another way of doing the control>click is clicking once on an item so that it is highlighted and then selecting 'file' at the top of your screen and then 'get info' too
    to view all pics in a slideshow yo simply highlight each one, or you can select multiple items by holding down the command key (⌘) then single clicking each pic you want to view, this selects it and then double clicking any one of them when they are all highlighted, in mac you will use the 'preivew' application which is an image viewer, sort of the replacement for your old 'windows fax and image viewer' on windows
    hope that helps

  • Downloading Flash Videos (.flv)

    I was looking for a way to download streamed Flash videos from YouTube, Google Videos and others and came across the following. Previous posts on this topic (now archived so I could not reply to them directly) recommended using SnapzPro.
    Try this:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/32101&vid=394117
    (Developer's Site download: http://tesseractsoftware.googlepages.com/flashvideodownloader.htm)
    Or this:

    Unlike SnapzPro, they're free.

    Thanks for the list.
    I could never get the add on from FF to work for me.
    I've never used it but I heard you can use Perian to download YouTube videos.
    I use TubeSock which use to have a fully functional demo.
    Now I just found out that TubeSock will convert only the first 30 seconds of a video until you pay for it.

  • Flash Video FLV autohide skin

    I imported an FLV file, specifying the ClearOverPlayMute
    skin. I need to use controls *over* my video file, because the
    final file must fit my video screen exactly. In Properties I
    specified autohide ON, but the skin does not hide when I roll off
    the video.
    I noticed that if you increase the stage size, creating a
    margin of dead space around the video, the controls WILL autohide
    when the cursor hovers over the dead space - but again, I can't
    have dead space in my layout; the final file must fit the dimesions
    of my video (that's the whole purpose of skins that lay OVER the
    video, right...?)
    I've seen plenty of posts on other sites with this same
    problem, but no solutions. Any help would be MUCH
    appreciated!

    In Flash 8 you click on the FLVPlayback controller, and in
    the Component Inspector you change the location for the skin in the
    Parameters -> Skin section. Remember this url is relative to the
    swf file, not the html file calling it.

  • Flash video FLV getting stuck in same spot

    hi there,
    i'm not sure if anyone has posted about this exact same
    question, but if so, i can't find the answer. but i used to have no
    problems at all importing quicktime or other format video files
    into flash and exporting them as flv files. but it seems like
    lately it's playing as normal and then getting stuck about half way
    through. it's happening to me now with a quicktime file but it's
    happened before with mp4 files as well. but...not every time.
    by the process of elimination i'm trying to figure out if
    it's a flaw with the originating quicktime file, if it's a quirk
    with CS3, how the program is handling other files of the same
    format. at times i am able to import a quicktime file and it
    exports as it is supposed to. but it seems more often than not, i'm
    not able to. is it the codec i'm using? the publishing setting?
    i know it's not the file size because it gets stuck even when
    i play it on my harddrive. i'm going crazy, has anyone else worked
    through this problem or is it something wrong with my system?
    helpp!!!!!!!

    You'll need to create a crossdomain.xml file as evidenced by the following header:

  • Flash Video (FLV) Slideshow & ActiveX

    I added a FLV video to my index page. It is a slideshow I
    created in Photoshop Premiere and then exported as an .flv. I have
    not published this site yet (may be that is my problem, but I don't
    want to publish until I know for certain). Each time I preview in
    different browsers, iExplore pops up a Active X warning. Safari and
    Firefox are fine. I don't want the people viewing the website to
    have to click through 3-4 warnings just to view the first page on
    this website. I have been trying to research this issue online and
    all I could come up with was that I might need a file named
    AC_RunActiveContent.js. But, all the commentaries say Dreamweaver
    will insert this file. Well, it didn't, so I am assuming I don't
    need it!! Do you know how to make the ActiveX pop up go away. (I am
    a newbie, so please use "simple" language!) Thanks!

    I definitely do not know how to write the player control
    through javascript. Did DW need to put the AC_RunActiveContent.js
    file in there? It didn't put it in.

  • Flash video (.flv) not loading under HTTPS (SSL)

    Hi,
    We have developed a rich media eLearning simulation
    application that dynamically loads separate .FLVs (animated talking
    characters). The client implementation is in a learning management
    system on an internal HTTPS connection. The FLVS do not work on
    this LMS server but DO work when they open the same application
    from our external (to the client) test web server (e.g. plain and
    simple HTTP).
    The PCs are the same machines. They are connecting from
    within the same LAN (behind the firewall) e.g. all conditions are
    exactly the same except for the HTTP/HTTPS difference.
    The client is checking that the server MIME types are
    correctly specified (it is believed that they are).
    So...any advice why HTTPS/SSL might affect the FLV loading?
    For reference: We are compiling in Flash 9. Client players
    are running 9.0.124.0. All the files reside on the server(s) e.g.
    no cross-domain file issues.
    Thanks.
