FLVplayback and preview image how to do?

LIke youtube, they have a preview image of the flash video.
How do i get flash using actionscript to dynamically generate a
image realtime?
Oh, one more question, how do i convert any file to an flv
through the internet? dont worry, i'm not trying to beat youtube,
i'm doing this for a music studio website.
I heard of this ffmpeg.exe....how to use this? Do I put this
on my webserver? I use the paid yahoo webhosting.

sorry kglad, that won't work. The image file has to be
dynamically generated on the spot online as i am creating a website
for new piano music company. He doesn't know how to use flash and I
have no time to manually do this for every video the web owner
uploads.
Speaking of which, ffmpeg is not compatible with yahoo
webhosting plan. yahoo is only limited to php 4.3.1.1. Switching
webhosts provider is not an option. is there any other way that
when the web owner uploads a video(any format), it can be converted
on the spot into any format(preferbly flv like youtube, but i wanna
add custom birates and such)? is there a way. I contacted yahoo
through email but they never answer(maybe they are too scared that
the answer may make me rethink of my webhosting).

Aperture constantly rebuilds same thumbnails and preview images.

What is behind Aperture 2's pathological obsession with constantly rebuilding the same thumbnails and preview images, and is there any way to stop it? I can't link this performance killing problem to any specific action on my part; I see it in many different circumstances. For example:
(1) Putting the system to sleep while Aperture is open then resuming later
(2) Hiding the Aperture app, working on other memory consuming apps for a while (e.g. Photoshop), then returning to Aperture
(3) Switching from one project to another via the "Projects" tab.
(4) Quitting Aperture then restarting it.
I can say with 100% certainty that this is not the result of some previous thumbnailing/preview generation operation that was interrupted. The # of images in the project doesn't seem to have a bearing. Nor does the type of camera or image type I've imported from the camera.
I can be happily working in Aperture, working with a project created months ago, when all of a sudden the "generating thumbnails" message and the dreaded Wait Cursor appear and my speedy, well-apportioned iMac grinds to a total halt while Aperture does the same ** thing it's already completed before.
The only hit I get when searching Apple's support site mentions a known bug for those who upgraded from Aperture 1 to version 2 but definitely does not apply to me here.

Thank you for the reply Tony. I've followed your suggestion but Aperture continues to (apparently) randomly decide to regenerate thumbnails and previews.
The problem has become bad enough that I've had to stop using Aperture completely.
Doesn't anybody from Apple read these forums? I can't possibly be the only Aperture user in the world to experience this problem...

Jpeg preview images -- how to check

Whenever I take my USB stick to a photolab to print images, if I don't save from Photoshop with "Image Previews" turned off (and most of the time I forget to turn it off), the dopy photolab machine recognises the previews as separate images and presents them as printable images (which they are not – they will print heavily pixellated).
Is there any way of checking in the Finder whether an image has a preview embedded – the kind that a photolab recognises – and be able to remove the preview if there is one? Or is this a Photoshop thing?
Note: this preview image I'm talking about does not appear to be the same preview as the Finder uses. Images saved from Photoshop with Image Previews turned on or off (Preferences > File Handling > File Saving Options > Image Previews > Never Save/Always Save), both have previews on the Desktop.

Thanks for the responses.

"It's not clear what you're referring to when you say a Finder preview image; are you referring to QuickLook, which is a feature of Snow Leopard?"
I was not aware of QuickLook. The preview images are the ones that Finder shows you in "icon" format.

I'm using Photoshop CS4.
"…and another file containing the resource fork, with the same name and the prefix "._". This file is invisible…"
That's the one! I get two of every image and one of them has the underscore. The Fuji Lab warns you that it will not print properly, but it will allow you to print them. It has happened several times when friends want me to edit their images and I save them to their USB sticks – but forget to turn off preview. They get back to me complaining about the quality of the images when they choose the wrong one.
The Fuji Lab I am talking about is like this one: http://www.livingroom.org.au/photolog/images/fujifilm_DPC.jpg
The Fuji Lab also recognises every image in the trash. So if you have 500 images in the trash, and want to print only one image, you'll get 501 images to select from. What I mess.
I suspect it has something to do with the way PCs and the Fuji Lab interpret images, as a friend who uses a Mac to save Photoshop images onto a USB stick, and then takes them to the local camera club for projection, also complained to me (I was the one who suggested he use a USB stick) that the PC used for projection was picking up everything in the trash. He wanted to project half a dozen images, but several hundred came up.
Problem does not seem to occur if I burn to CD and use the CD to print or project images.
So the situation is: if I save images (preview on) from Photoshop onto a USB stick, the Fuji Labs recognise two images for each image, one of which has an underscore. All images in the trash are also recognised. Same seems to apply when read by a PC.
What does saving a preview image in Photoshop do anyway? Is it necessary? Maybe I should just turn off "Save Preview" and leave it off.
You mentioned FAT32. If I reformatted the USB stick to a different format, would that fix the problem?

Premier Pro Monitor and Preview Images Scrambled

Just installed CS4. Loaded clips into a test project. Upon playback the clips are scrambled in the preview window and monitor windows. Does anyone know the cause and/or how to fix this issue?

maybe post a screenshot of what it looks like ..the "scambled" stuff...
you may need to provide info about your computer specs, graphic card specs etc...
you might just have a project that doesnt match the footage specs...

Reflections and Distorted images - How?

Hi,
I've seen quite a few flash files out there mimicing the
apple 'cover flow' so I know this is possible....
What I want is to have an image in a movieclip (which I will
load in dynamically from an xml file...) - I'll then animate this
cip onto the stage from the side (simple transition). All pretty
straight forward, but I also want to have the image slightly
distorted - as if its slightly rotated in 3d - and also have
relfection underneath.
Does anyone know an easy way of doing this? I have found a
reflection class (from pixelfumes) which works well; and is easy. I
did find a distortion class, but the 2 dind't seem to work
together!!
Can anyone help? a couple of simple classes would be better.
Just on a side note - I dont really need to animate the
distortion - simple set it to a specific angle.
Cheers,
Tim

you should apply the distortion first, then apply the
reflection using your own code so there's no problem with code
conflict.
the reflected image will be your distorted image with an
xscale or yscale of -100 with a decreased alpha and translation to
the correct position.

Upload and preview image

Hi,
We are developing a custom web dynpro that will added as an iView on the RPM portal.
The web dynpro should allow users to upload an image from desktop, preview it as well as delete the uploaded image.
I checked SDN for solutions but did not find the correct links to this.
Any ideas or pointers on this will be extremely helpful.
Thanks,
Simmi

Hi Simmi,
Your requirement is possible.
You need to store your images in Portal or R3 ???
After uploading/saving the images ,preview can be shown, using
Image UI element in webdynpro as well it can be deleted also.
Regards,
Piyush

Master and Preview

Not sure what ive done but i can no longer get the master and preview image at the same time on the filmstrip or viewer.
probably something simple i know but.
v2.1.4

I figured the file was corrupted because everything I was doing in master and design was showing up different in the preview. I tried saving it and viewing it to see if it was just livecycle being screwy, and the preview was what saved, not what I was looking at in my design. So I sucked it up and deleted it, and am starting again..
Thank you anyway.

HT2493 How to change preview image of a file and NOT the icon ?

Hello dear Mac users
How to change preview image of a file and NOT the icon ?
I know how to change the icon of a file, but I wish to know how to change the preview of any file.
For example: my file is "mysong.aif", I changed the icon to be "mylogo.png" using cmd+i, cmd+v on the icon. But the preview of the file still remain the same.
I know it can be changed using iTunes, but I don't want to import all my files in iTune, and iTune cannot import all type of files.
I hope someone will understand my needs...
Thanks!

Thanks BeerbarX
You can't change the preview image for anything

QuickLook plugin
what are the plugin ?
In the case of a music file, it will be that generic black box with a note on it
That is exactly what I'm asking about !
MP3 which has a special tagging standard that can include artwork
How can I "tag" my MP3 without going thru iTunes ? Is it possible to do it dirrectly in the Finder ? Is there other type of files that can include such tags ?
Thank you for answering my question , wich I have to admit may seem useless, but I wish I could put something like a signature logo on each of the different file I produce (as AIF for music and MP4 for video clip) instead of that generic black box with a note on it, and by the meantime keeping a different icon for all of them in order to illustrate theire content.

FLVPlayback Runtime Poster/Preview Image

I cannot find an ActionScript 3 code example anywhere on how to load a PNG file as a flvplayback preview image and add it in at runtime." Assigning the preview property with the string of the PNG file refrence like 'video.preview = "previewimg.png"' does nothing. Does anyone know who to assign in ActionScript 3 a PNG file as preview file.

My preview image assigned in the IDE will not be exported to the swf file during the publishing of the fla file. The initial video screen is black rather than showing the preview/poster image for the movie. But on some Adobe websites it says that a preview image can be assigned using ActionScript which would make the preview image visible at runtime. But I have not seen any code on how to actually do that. Just assigning a value to the preview property of the FLVPlackback component does not do the job. It seems there is a black hole of information on this.

Image Capture and Preview "folder not writable" error importing to shared folder

I'm running 10.8.5 on a Late 2012 model Mac Mini. I'm trying to create a folder under my home directory where my wife can import pictures using Image Capture or Preview while logged into her account. I've tried setting permissions on the folder by setting POSIX permissions and ACLs from the command line, and also by setting ACLs using Get Info in Finder, but it seems as though both Image Capture and Preview ignore the ACLs and instead rely solely on the POSIX permissions for everyone/other (even when a relevant group is set). Unless the POSIX permissions for everyone/other are "rwx" Image Capture and Preview both give an error that the import failed, and /var/log/system.log shows errors that the "folder is not writable". I'd like to be able to set this up without making the folder and the files in it writable by everyone. My understanding was that ACLs should take precedence over POSIX permissions, but even the POSIX permissions don't seem to be getting handled properly, because the group is ignored. Any help or explanation of what's happening would be appreciated.
Here's an example with details:
Suppose we have the users alice and bob. We want to set permissions on the directory /Users/bob/importdir such that Alice can import files from a camera there using Image Capture (or Preview, either would do), but don't want to relax the permissions more than necessary.
We create a group named bob_and_alice
We set the following permissions on /Users/bob:
POSIX: rwxr-xr-x, owner=bob, group=staff (i.e. default POSIX permissions)
ACLs:
0: group:everyone deny delete
1: group:bob_and_alice allow list,search,readattr,readextattr,readsecurity
2: user:alice allow list,search,readattr,readextattr,readsecurity
"Get Info" shows "Read & Write" for bob and "Read Only" for alice, bob_and_alice, staff, and everyone
We set the following permissions on /Users/bob/importdir:
POSIX: rwxrwxr-x owner=bob, group=bob_and_alice
ACLS: (these are already probably more permissive than should be necessary)
0: group:bob_and_alice allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,re adextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,writesecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit
1: user:alice allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,re adextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,writesecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit
"Get Info" shows "Custom" for both alice and bob_and_alice, "Read & Write" for bob, and "Read Only" for everyone
Alice opens a Terminal and cd's to /Users/bob/importdir. Alice can create and delete files in this directory.
Now Alice opens Image Capture and with our camera connected we try to import a photo to /Users/bob/importdir. Image Capture shows an error dialog with the text "Import error. An error occurred while importing. The item 'foo.jpg' was not imported." /var/log/system.log shows the message: "Jul 20 22:12:34 computer_name.local Image Capture[32804]: Document destination folder is not writable" If instead Alice uses Preview it shows an error dialog with the text "The selected folder is not writable" and /var/log/system.log shows two error messages:
Jul 20 22:23:45 computer_name.local Preview[33280]: Document destination folder is not writable
Jul 20 22:23:45 computer_name.local Preview[33280]: Encountered error during image import: Error Domain=com.apple.ImageCaptureCore Code=-9934 "The selected folder is not writable" UserInfo=0x7ffda4881f00 {NSLocalizedDescription=The selected folder is not writable}
Now we change the POSIX permissions on /Users/bob/importdir to: rwxrwxrwx
The import succeeds with both Image Capture and Preview
Can anyone explain what's going on here? Is there another reasonable way to do this without, moving this shared directory to /Users/shared?

Did you figure out how to fix this?

I am unable to get same preview image colors in Bridge and Lightroom

I am unable to get same file preview in Bridge and Lightroom. The Lightroom preview image (in both the Library and Develop) is more de-saturated. But the exported/saved jpegs match. If I try to match the Lightroom preview image to the Bridge preview image, the resulting Lightroom export colors are off. I have tried this with images with no changes and with changes and the result is the same. I have Lightroom 5.6 and CR 8.6. I am using the latest version of Bridge.
I contacted Adobe support and followed all instructions to try to fix but the problem remains. This comment was made after several solutions were tried, including updating Lightroom. :
Adobe: there would be little difference in case of preview of Bridge CC and Lightroom 5. However, after exporting it would be same. Both use different technology at the background and work in a different way. The preview which you see in lightroom is not the actual image but incase of Bridge you see the actual image ( original ). That's the reason there is a color variation between previews.
Me: But how can I then use the Lightroom preview to get accurate colors when processing a RAW file? If I do adjustments to the RAW file in Lightroom it looks different when exported. That doesn't seem to make sense when Lightroom is designed for photograhy
Adobe: Please check in develop module of lightroom.
Me: Nothing changes in the develop mode. The image looks the same as in the preview/Library mode.
This screenshot shows the unmodified images in Develop (Lightroom) and ACR (Bridge). The color differences are significant.
Lightroom exported jpeg file, unmodified from preview image in Develop (which looks like Bridge preview image not the Lightroom preview)
Bridge saved jpeg file, unmodified from preview image in ACR
Any suggestions on what I need to do to Lightroom to make it show accurate colors. If not, I don't see any point in using it to process files.
Thanks, Marie

Bridge is just a browser. It displays according to the embedded color profile but assumes sRGB for all untagged images.
In Lightroom library previews use Adobe RGB and in Develop the working space is Pro Photo RGB.
The real question is why use both Bridge and Lightroom. Stick to one, not both.

Changing Computers - How do I move Lightroom and its images?

I'm retiring an old MAC notebook and moving to a new desktop MAC so I have to move LR and all my images, preferences, etc.
I currently have an internal hard drive with the following:
root\applications\adobe lightroom.app
root\pictures\lighroom\lightroom catalog.lrcat
root\pictures\lightroom\lightroom catalog previews.lrdata
root\library\preferences\com.adobe.lightroom.plist (what is this?)
root\library\receipts\adobe photoshop lightroom.pkg (I think this is the installer. can i delete?)
root\library\application support\adobe\lightroom\--- many folders with presets, etc
I also have an external raid system with my images on it:
external raid\lightroom images\-- organized by year and then subfolders -- these were all imported into lighroom
I also make backups of the lightroom catalog to another external drive:
external drive\lightroom backups
I plan on replacing this whole configuration with a MAC with an internal RAID configuration. I want to use the external RAID and external drive for backup only.
What I'd like to know is how I move everything and not break everything. I saw a FAQ that said to drag the catalog file over to the new location and relaunch but what if the images are moved too? Or should I do this in discrete steps?
I have my original CD media with the application but that was a few versions old now. I'm currently running 1.3.1.
Lastly, I'm wondering if I am missing any critical files in my list that I dont' know about and whether I can delete the installer (listed above) and the com.adboe.lightroom.plist file (listed above).
Oh, and do I have to put everything in these separate locations? I really would like to put all this in one place instead of having all this in disparate folders. Is that advisable? Maybe the app in the applications folder and then just a folder somewhere else called Lightroom with all the other components? Or is that stupid?
Thanks for any help or advice. I've got about 8,000 images and I'm anxious about this move.
Deena

I looked in the FAQ and couldn't find anything except what I've cut and pasted below. First, I don't totally understand it, but more importantly it seems to be talking about just moving the catalog and previews files, not the application and images and the catalog and previews files.
I'm just trying to make sure I understand the process so I don't screw up all my work. If you know any location in the manual with this info or other threads, that would be great.
Thanks,
Deena
How do I place the Lightroom Library on an External Drive?
Ian Lyons - 04:03pm Nov 20, 2007 Pacific
Q: How do I change the location of the Lightroom Library on an external disk drive whilst also ensuring that lightroom maintains the connection with the new location?
A: The easiest way is to copy the folder containing the Lightroom Catalog and the Previews to the new disk drive, navigate to the new folder location, then double click on the Catalog file to relaunch.
Note: the Lightroom catalog and preview package use the lrcat and lrdata extension respectively.

Image Capture and Preview: bad PDF page size

When scanning to a PDF document with Image Capture, the resulting PDF always has an enormous page size. For example, a 3"x3" image scanned at 300dpi will appear as a 12.5"x12.5" page in the PDF. Scanning at 72dpi will create the appropriate size page, but the file is (of course) unsuitable for printing due to the low resolution. It's as if Image Capture (or the PDF creation routine) assumes the image is 72dpi even if it was scanned higher than that.
Similar behavior can be seen in the Preview app. Use the following steps to reproduce:
1. Open a decent quality image from a digital camera.
2. Choose Tools Menu -> Adjust Size...
3. Be sure both "Scale proportionally" and "Resample image" are selected.
4. Change the Resolution to 300 pixels/inch, change the Width to 3 inches and click OK.
5. Choose File Menu -> Save As...
6. Change the format to PDF, choose a location and file name to your liking, and click Save
7. Open the new document in Preview and check the page size (Tools Menu -> Inspector)
Inexplicably, the page size is now 12.5 inches wide. I understand what it's doing, but I don't know why. The math is simple. Take the 3x3 inch example above: 3in * 300ppi = 900px / 72ppi = 12.5in
I feel it's very bad form for the software to assume you always work in "screen resolution" (72dpi). The PDFs the software makes is next to useless for archival purposes because of the incorrect size markings.
Anyone know of an alternative application to scan to PDF docs? The scanner's TWAIN software is not an option because it's PPC and won't run under Rosetta. How about an application that creates PDF documents from image files (besides Acrobat)? Best would be a way to fix the behavior or Apple's software.
Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem long ago. Apple is not doing anything to fix this problem

Hi,
I did a test with your code in my environment and it works fine.
For a better troubleshooting, I suggest you debug your code step by step. You may need to check if file.ListItemAllFields.ID is valid.
If you want to get video Thumnail image, there is a column named Preview Image URL, the internal name of the field is AlternateThumbnailUrl.
You can get the field value using Sever Object Model like below.
String url = item[“AlternateThumbnailUrl”].ToString();
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

Hi,
This Users Tip was written to Enable the Reinstall of iChat.
AS it is the app itself rather than the support parts that is missing you should be able to do the "Easy Way" for that app.
Insert the Install Disk.
Drag window large enough to see the Option Installs Folder
Open that and then Launch the Optional installs.mpkg.
Select iChat and select Continue to Install.
This will install iChat at the Install Disk Level.
As iChat gets up dated with certain OS Updates you will need to Download and run the Combo Version of the last OS Update you did.
Download the .dmg.
Expand and launch Installer.
Run it over the top of what you have.
The Users Tip also tells you how to use Pacifist to Open the Install Disk and select various bits.
Obviously this can be used for the other apps you are Missing.
These too, will need you to "Run the Combo" afterwards.
