Flash Video Preview Image or Poster Frame

is there a param name expression i can use to set my preview
image of my flash video in Dreamweaver? I have used other people
players and i was able to do this by going:
<param name="image" value="preview.jpg" />
Not much you cant tweak with this flash video feature.
Anyone know of a list of all the param name's ? or settings i
can tweak?
thanks
I want my video to function like this.

  • Lightroom 5 Video - What is a "Poster Frame" ?

    Hi, in Lightroom 5's video editing i can set a "poster frame". Could you tell me if that is one or more of the following, or something more/else?
    the definition of the Youtube preview image if i upload the video?
    the definition of the video's preview image inside Lightroom?
    a new, separate still image file showing the video's moment i had selected when clicking "Set Poster Frame"?
    I have very conflicting information about this from experts and i would appreciate answers from all who are really sure about what they say and who have actually used the "poster frame" feature successfully.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi.  Did you ever get an answer?  I'm curious to know how the poster frame is useful outside of lightroom.  So far, I've noticed that it does not translate when i import a video into aperture.  Does it write the frame location to metadata?

  • Problems with video previews: image freezes when scrubbing (CS6)

    I just installed CS6 on my computer after working with CS5.5 and I encountered a strange problem with my EOS5D Mk 2 and also Ixus 100IS footage in Bridge CS6 (actually this happens with every video).
    In CS5.5 I was able to preview my mov files and scrub through them without many problems (aside from a casual crash, but hey... )
    In CS6 now the video preview starts and everything seems fine, until I scrub to a later point in the video. At that point the video freezes but the sound goes on. The only way to make the video run again is to click pause and then click play again. You can imagine that scrubbing through videos isn't much fun..
    Has anyone ever had a problem like that with CS6?
    Since CS5.5 is still installed, I checked and found out, that in Bridge CS5.5 everything is still working fine: No video freezes there - only in CS6
    I already updated to the latest graphics card driver and all updates from CS6. Does anyone have an idea what I could do?
    some stats about my computer:
    win7 64bit
    nvidia geforce GTX 590, driver 301.42
    no other video software installed
    Aside from that, I also realized that video quality in the preview area isn't particularly brilliant (neither in CS5.5 nor in CS6). Since the video is scaled to the preview window size, I sometimes get scaling artefacts/moirees. Is there a way to smooth the video playback, like you could in a regular video player?

    Perhaps your understanding of rendering is different than mine.  I think of it more as combining edits to form a new video.  Are you using rendering as the same as playback?   Also, not sure how you can have a system that has only CS6 files, as files are the same for CS5.5.  I must be missing something here.
    Manniac described the error well "In CS6 now the video preview starts and everything seems fine, until I scrub to a later point in the video. At that point the video freezes but the sound goes on. The only way to make the video run again is to click pause and then click play again".
    Believe that error is fixed as my video play OK now.

  • Flash video with too wide a frame when uploaded

    Hello,
    I have a short flash movie (.swf) having a width of 320px
    and a height of 240px. It works as expected locally (when I
    open the page with dreamweaver and FF2 or IE7) but as soon
    as I have uploaded the file to my website the movie gets a
    much smaller size and a wide grey frame around it in both
    browsers.
    I don't understand what's causing this and how I can prevent
    it.
    If you would like to see the problem, this is the page with
    the video (German language website).
    http://www.paul-westrich.de/Profile/meg_nigriventris_movie.php
    The video should be as big as the lighter grey frame.

    II know most of these solutions. What I am most interested to is to play the videos with mplayer; preferably without having to download them first. What I am doing now if to use www.keepyoutube.com and give the url provided to mplayer. I would be interested in a firefox plugin that launch mplayer on the video URL (there was the media player connectivity but it has not been updated and did not work for flash).

  • Poster frame video photos app

    The poster frame thumbnail for my videos shows up everywhere except the Photos App on the iPad. This a big inconvenience when adding a video to Keynote in the iPad. Anybody know why the Photos app defaults the thumbnail to the opening seen of a video instead of the poster frame?

    Thanks for the tip, but this just doesn't work for me. I right click to get the contextual menu, select Set Poster Frame, but nothing happens. Tried this as per original post in both separate window and artwork square.
    I have also noted that the Artwork add / delete buttons are greyed out. Is this related?

  • Age Gate restricted Dailymotion preview images are not displayed - why?

    No Dailymotion video preview image, which requires the Age Gate filter to be turned off, is displayed anymore in my Firefox 32.0.1 and 32.0.2, they are all black. It used to work a couple of weeks ago with an older version, and still works with IE.
    Clearing caches and cookies and restarting the browser did not help, adblock is disabled, and all permissions are still on default, esp. to display images is allowed.
    I can select "View image info" from the context menu and then the image is correctly displayed in the pop-up window.
    For all other "nonclassified" videos, a preview image is displayed and mouse-over starts some kind of video preview. The context menu does not have a "View image info" entry here. This is the way it should be.

    Canon PS 9, 10 Canon EOS 300D, 40D ... all my previous cameras, but not all images. As said, there seems to be no rule. Some pictures in the middle of a "roll". But sometimes several events in succession. All images can be opened in Preview. All images can be displayed in the Finder and iPhoto QuickView. If I want to show the images in the preview, are shows the unedited version. If I want to edit the pictures back into iPhoto, then the old edits will become visible again (for some pictures) but they can not be saved.
    I have about 35,000 photos in the library, spread over about 1600 events.

  • Exporting Large videos as image sequences using Quick Time Convert

    I am trying to export some fairly long videos as image sequences >10000 frames with Final Cut Pro using the quick time conversion tool.
    I am working with SD and HD videos.
    While some sequences export without error (both SD & HD) occasionally an "error" occurs which results in the 10000th frame (and in one case the 1000th frame) not being written. The File is opened as "MyVideoName#FFFFFFF.png" but no data is written to it. (Obviously it should be MyVideoName10000.png)
    There is 500Gb of free space on the disk I am writing to.
    At the moment I can't even work out why it fails in some instances - apart from the fact it seems to be related to the file name.
    I would appreciate any help any one can offer!
    Thanks,
    John

    Thanks for your reply!
    So far I've not managed to come up with a workable solution.
    Exporting as an image sequence is infact a work around... I originally was planning to export the videos as uncompressed .avi files but (as documented elsewhere) this does not work for videos >10Gb.
    Some videos have exported fine both those longer and shorter than 10000 frames. However, for some videos only the first 9999 frames are exported. As a workaround I was planning to export the remainder of the videos seperately (as a subclip) but this only managed to export the first 999 frames (the 1000th file opened is called MyVideoName#FFFFFFFF, but no data is written to it).
    At the moment I can't find any explanation for the cause of this problem. Are there any logs or any way to get more detailed error information?
    Thanks again for your help,
    John

  • Poster frames not on site

    When I go into inspector for a video and select a poster frame, it doesn't seem to show up once the site is published. Any ideas?? Other features like auto play and hide movie controller work. I'm stumped.

    It appears that the poster frame option only work with a movie on an Albums page. (See Roddy's post in this topic.
    I also cannot get it to work on a regular page. There is an alternative way to add a movie to a page that will let you pick any frame of the movie to display and then open the movie in a separate window sized just for the movie. You can see an example of it on this demo page along with a description of how to make it happen. It may not fit in your scheme of things but take a look anyway.
    A second option is described and demonstrated in Section B of this demo page. The how to is in Tutorial #18

  • Preview image for videos on flash website. Help!

    Hi, I'm not sure if I'm at that right place so sorry if I'm wasting your time by asking this question but I'm having problems with my flash website.
    I want the video on my website to show a preview image before the video is played instead of it displaying a blank black frame. I went on component inspector - preview - and selected the frame of the animation that I wanted to be shown. But when I came to uploading my swf and html file the preview image for the video is still black. On component inspector - preview - it says 'To generate a runtime preview image, use the export button and load the image back by writing your own actionscript'. So I exported the image but I haven't got a clue how to write my own actionscript. I've spent hours trying to find help on this but I haven't been successful.
    Do you know how I can sort this out? Thank you

  • How Set Video Poster Frame (Image) for Intro Media?

    iBooks Author Mavens,
    How can the Poster Frame (aka, Poster Image) for the Intro Media segment of an iba video be set?
    Irrespective of anything I do with the Widget Inspector...such as attempting to move the Poster Frame to a frame at the desired ~7 second point (in a ~10 second clip)...iBA keeps resetting the Poster Frame to ~2.5 seconds (not wanted).
    Very, very frustrating...suggestions?
    Many, many thanks!
    Plane Wryter

    If you use a video in any place but intro, will your iBA let you choose and keep any poster frame setting you like?

  • How to get a poster or preview image for my flv file

    I am trying to find out how I can get a static image to show in my flvplayer before someone presses the play button to view the video.
    Details:
    I am brand new to flash, videos, .flv files, flash players, etc. I am very experienced with Dreamweaver, however.
    I had a DVD video. I converted it from DVD to a .flv file. In Dreamweaver, I inserted the .flv file into my web page using Insert - FLV. It added the nifty little flv player with the skins. Everything is working perfectly, except prior to the user clicking play, the video shows just a black screen. I'd like to replace that with a placeholder image (poster image??).
    Here is the page: http://ilovestraightteeth.webscapersites.com/treatments/incognito-braces.shtml
    Is there simply a parameter I add to the object/ embed code? Or do I need to edit the video? Or otherwise? Any help would be appreciated, I'm being bounced from one forum to the next all over the place.
    I've got the adobe cs4 suite, if that information is helpful/relevant. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks, Nancy - that definitely helped! But -- again, I'm totally new to this, so another probably silly question....
    I followed the tutorial and totally got all of that, was able to add my poster frame, tested it, it all worked great. But now my video is in a .fla file; the option to export to FLV is not there. I need to get the video onto my web page now. So I tried exporting it as a .swf file, and then returned to Dreamweaver to insert the .swf file onto the page. I did an insert - SWF, the placeholder showed up, but when I tried to preview, I only got a blank white screen. I went to the Dreamweaver help files to see if I inserted it wrong, but I followed step by step and did it just as it said. (incidentally, a few days ago I tried insterting a different SWF file and the same thing happened).
    (a) do you know why my SWF file is not showing up/previewing?
    (b) is there a different file format I should have exported after I finished the tutorial for adding the poster image, when I had the functional .fla file?
    Thanks again. I really appreciate the response.

  • Flash video image problem with newest nVidia driver

    I've got a very weird display error since the last update. Basically, whenever I play flash video and afterwards close the browser (chromium), any purely black surfaces will display the full flash player image. The effect is only visible in the "first" window of a xmonad tab, that means if I cycle the window positions it will be in a different window. The others are not affected. When I restart X, I can see the flash video image flashing up shortly on the black screen. Restarting X fixes the issue. I cannot take any screenshot of the problem because the error is NOT visible on the screenshot. Therefore I suspect that some frame buffer used for the flash player is not getting cleared properly after exiting the browser, but it's really little more than a wild guess.
    As there are multiple components involved, I'm at a loss of where this might be coming from. I hope someone might be able to shed some light on this situation. Please post here if you have the same problem or have any idea why this happens!
    My setup:
    -nvidia 260.19.36-2
    -flashplugin 10.2.152.27-1
    -chromium 9.0.597.94-1
    -xmonad 0.9.2-1
    -xmonad-contrib 0.9.2-1

    if you asking about a bug reported on arch linux bugtracker, then you are doing it the wrong way.
    flash and nvidia are closed source, we can't do anything. A better place is to submit bugs to nvidia and adobe.
    Now i see that nvidia 270.26 was released. Maybe you want to check that out:

  • Poster for flash video

    I inserted a flash video onto a site i am building but it has no poster how do i insert a movie poster on a flash video effectivly

    Flash video alone doesn't cut it anymore.  There's a growing list of devices/browsers that don't support it.
    HTML5 video is the way forward.  It has widespread  support plus it supports a poster frame image.
    <video controls poster="/images/poster-frame.jpg">
       <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
       <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
       <source src="movie.webm" type="video/webm">
       <source src="movie.flv" type="video/flv">
