Fullscreen using AS2 for video

Does anyone know of a site/tutorial or way of building in a fullscreen button right into the skin of a video player using actionscript 2? Or perhaps have access to a source file? I've seen the skins with fullscreen with AS3 with CS3, but I need tut on skins with fullscreen using AS2.
Thanks in advance.......

Is there any good tutorials on full screen videos for actionscript 2.0? I need the Video to go full screen, and not the movie itself.
Thanks.........

Thinking to buy a new 15inch macbook pro retina display. Aim to use it for video editing and compositing... Is ıt worth for it?

Hi... I am a freelance filmmaker. Now I have 2008 model mac pro and I am thinking to buy a new macbook pro 15 inch retina display. Do you think its worth for it? I aim to use the macbook mainly for video editing, video compositing (after effects) and photo editing. My current old mac pro has 12 GB and the graphics card is ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB (Yes I still use it). My main question is, do you think its better to move to macbook pro or upgrading the old one? Making it 32 GB of RAM and buy a new NVIDIA cuda capable graphic card? I dont have enough budget to make it together... Want to hear your suggestions...

I'm not sure, I've seen pro animators use MBPs but usually with a large monitor. Especially doing video editing, compositing and editing it might make more sense to upgrade the Mac Pro to an SSD as the boot drive. What kind of CPU setup is in your Pro?
Check these out:
mac pro SSD upgrades?
SSD as system disk while users folder + data on HDD
Early 2008 8-Core Mac Pro GPU Upgrades
I deal exclusively with OWC. I'd call them and walk them through your system and see what they say.
What you do takes a lot of CPU, RAM, graphics and boot disk power.
I've upgraded my two computers to SSDs and the first thing I noticed was that Photoshop CS6 opens in 7 seconds vrs. 50 seconds when the application was on a HDD.

During a demo today could not use Messages for video chat or screen share - what dumb thing was I doing wrong?

I was giving a demo / class today for some people in a volunteer group I work for. They all got new MacBook Airs or MacBook Pros, and I got a MacBook Pro because I am going to be going into explain how to use them.
Most everythng went well, but one really cool thing I do all the time from home on my iMac I couldn't get to work. That part of the lesson was a disaster, though fortunately everything else went well.
I'd like to figure out what dumb thing I was doing wrong so I can show them next week.
I know we have to sign in with AOL accounts for screen sharing to work in Messages. So first I had everybody sign up for a free AOL account. That went fine.
Then we all logged in using our accounts. That went fine for everybody except one person. We could all see each other online, with little video cameras next to our names in the Buddy List. One person never showed up anywhere for some reason.
But we could not do either video chats or successfully request to share other peoples' screens, which I do all the time at home to help other people with their Macs.
One person could not even see any requests from me pop up. One person could see my requests come in and accepted them, but nothing happened after that.
Ordinary message chats were working ok.
Things I already thought of:
1. Perhaps the wi-fi in the bulding was blocking some ports? Just in case, I turned on mobile hotspot (tethering) on my iPhone 5 and had everybody connect to my network. But the results were the same, so it wasn't that.
2. I wasn't sure it mattered, but in Settings > Sharing I made sure that everbody had screen sharing turned on. And just in case, even though I don't have this set from home, I further made sure everybody had "anyone may request to control the screen" checked.
While I could do local network sharing of screens (via the Devices list in the Finder side panel), I couldn't for the life of me get it to work with Messages. But I've been doing this for years from home to help my sister and other people across town with their Mac by doing screen sharing this way and taking over their screen.
It must be something dumb I'm overlooking. Anybody know what it is?
Thanks,
Doug

Problem solved, finally, by AppleCare support!
I gave up trying to reach the "English support line" guy located in Manila and decided to insist on plain old Japanese support here in Tokyo and explained the problem from scratch.
First we tried all the usual suspects, but nothing we did could get it to work. Then we did an ARA (Apple Remote Access) support session. This was the first time I ever did this. Quite cool, and very useful.
At first we still could not figure out what was wrong, but finally isolated the problem to the way my AOL account name was entered.
When I added the AOL account to my Messages app, all I did was enter my username part. I didn't add the @aol.com part, because I never did that on my iMac. However, Messages kept on automatically adding "@aol.com" to the end of the AIM account name.
The Apple tech person got me to try once again to get rid of the @aol.com part of the account name. We:
1. Disabled the account.
2. Manually deleted the @aol.com, leaving just my AIM name.
3. Restarted my MacBook Pro (very quick, by the way, and also immediately brought back his ARA session).
This time the @aol.com part remained gone, and I was able to test connecting to my iMac, which has a different AIM account set. It worked!
I was able to do screen sharing via Messages! And also do video chat via Messages. Yay!
So much thanks to Watabe-san at Apple support. The people I am teaching will be happy to see this working on Sunday, because it really is a very useful tool for assisting people remotely.

Using Bonjour for video chat to windows computer

I'm wondering if it is possible to use Bonjour to do video chats accross the network from a mac to windows xp pc. Thanks in advance for any help or answers.

Sure can. You would need to have Bonjour installed on the Windows PC, along with a chat client.
Here's Bonjour for Windows: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bonjourforwindows103.html
Don't forget to adjust the windows firewall settings: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301514
And here is a 3rd party chat client for windows: http://xurble.org/projects/iChatMiranda or you can use Trillian http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/
I hope this helps!
OOOPs. I just saw that you were asking for video chats, unfortunatly, there is no client that I'm aware of that supports Bonjour Video on the PC...sorry!

Using iMovie for video coaching

I'm trying to see if I can use iMovie for a coaching application or if there are any other suggestions.
A while back I had online coaching sessions for rowing. I'm trying to find the software my coach used or something equivalent, but he is not currently available.
I sent him an mp4 video of my rowing. He responded with a video that had my video on the screen, reduced in size, along with a portion of the screen of my coach critiquing my technique. In his video he was able to play my video, pause, go back and forward, while giving a narrative and using the mouse pointer.
Can iMovie do this or any other suggestions?
Thanks.

… Can iMovie do this or any other suggestions?…
You could create such a video in iMovie.
But you can not made it like that … (hu?!)
a) You would need screen-grabs of the rowing, to record the pointer … ok, that's possible with QuicktimePlayerX.app, or much better with ScreenFlow …
b) while doing so, you'd need a cam recording trainer+voice
c) finally, you'd need to synch all that, apply 'effects' (=picture-in-picture) and edit that stuff.
.... as said, possible, but really challanging your iM-skills.
The menitoned ScreenFlow is better in that. Would be my choice!
There was a less known tool called 'Podcast Producer', which was part of a MacOS-Server-edition… not avail anymore.
Finally, maybe BoinxTV is an option …

I'm an idiot with a 5G IPod don't know how to use iSquint for Videos

if I had know that I had to convert all my videos , which I have no idea on how to do it , I wouldn't have bought it . I've been reading the forums and downloaded iSquint . I click convert file optimize for iPod and automatically add to iTunes . The video shows up in iTunes in the video folder and play in the selected song box in the lower right hand corner in the iTunes , I've been trying to drag and drop them on to my iPod in the source list in iTunes but no luck , how do I get the videos onto my iPod . Thanks all .
Clarice

It sounds like you're going about it the right way. I also used iSquint for short videos. Handbrake is the program you want for converting DVDs.
Are you converting MPEGs? DVDs? AVIs?
You said they're going into iTunes correctly and play in iTunes. That's a major hurdle. So what happens when you select your video and drag it toward the video ipod in the menu bar? When you drag the video on top of your ipod's name (on the left hand Source menu bar) does it change to a plus sign? Do you get an error message when you attemp to move the files?
Is your iPod up to date on the software? Is your iTunes the most recent version?
More details on your problem would help us figure out the solution. Of course you can always take it to your local Apple store where they are MORE than happy to help you.

How can we use K900 for video call over wifi or 3G

Do we have video calling feature like samsung provides over 3G or wifi? I dont see any option while dialing a number.
thanks

@vinashar,
I would recommend 3rd party apps such as Line or Skype for video calls ... As for future plans to implement video calls in the Lenovo dialer, I am not sure.
Thanks

Newbie - use camera for video and external microphone?

Hi,
This is a totally newbie question, but I'm a total newbie to the video part of the mac universe.
I want to use a camcorder to "stream" live video into iMovie (which will record it to the hard drive), and use an EXTERNAL microphone, plugged into the microphone port of the computer, as the audio source (I want to use a good mic).
Will iMovie support doing this? Is it automatic that the external mic overrides the mic on the camcorder?
Thanks,
Dmitri
P.S. this is part of a bigger question, which is, how to get the best possible audio using a standard (cheap) camcorder. I haven't bought a camcorder yet, and am open to getting one that can take a good mic through a line-in. Any suggestions? - Thanks, D

I wrote a reply to your earlier post ..but either the system went offline, or some other glitch occurred, and the post didn't appear. So I'll try to answer your earlier message and the one just above.
Congratulations on getting the camera, by the way!
"..play video through camera" option in the preferences, which MUTES the sound in iMovie.." ..Yes, this has been standard in iMovie from the earliest versions. There may be a slight delay between the audio you hear straight from the camera and the audio coming out of your Mac. To stop the annoyance of hearing the audio separately and slightly out-of-sync (..you'll find that the video on the Mac lags very slightly, too, during import..) you can turn OFF the Mac's audio with that preference.
"..I assume this goes away if I unplug the firewire cable.." ..er..? You mean that the preference switches back when you unplug? I can't remember: try it. But don't unplug the FW cable in the middle of an import!
What I was previously trying to post was:
"..instructional/promotional videos to display online.." ..You don't say if you'll be walking around to do these demos, or if you're demonstrating computer software. If walking around you might want to use a "gun" mic to point at you, or a tie-clip mic, so that it's always clipped to your clothes ..but that will trail a cable to the camcorder unless you use a radio mic. [..And you've now bought a tie-clip mic; well done..]
If you're doing demos of computer software, then you probably wouldn't need a camcorder at all, but just a "screen-recorder" application like 'Snapz Pro' or 'iShowU'. In that case, you'd just want a simple mic to stand on your desk, to record your speech as you work your computer, and for adding extra narration afterwards.
I still don't understand why you want to capture directly to iMovie. If you're using a camcorder, surely you'd want to capture to tape, in case you need to do three or four "takes" of the same material ..and then you only need to import, and fill up your hard disc with, the best of those takes.
And if you're recording a computer screen, then you wouldn't capture with iMovie at all, but with one of those other programs, above..

Using Skype for video call on iPad2

I installed Skype for iPad and when I try to place a video call, the video button is present but not active. I have gone through the audio test call several times and that works fine. How do I activate the video function?

Barry-
Looking at preferences and settings, I can not find any way to change access to the video button. I see it is not active when you place a call to the audio test server, but that is to be expected.
I had a problem with the Macintosh iChat video program, where video was not available when my internet access was too slow to support video. I do not know if that applies to Skype or not. If you can have someone call you using their video button to make the call, your Skype video may activate and work correctly in the future.

Using iTunes for videos?

I'm stuck at trying to uderstand how to improve my video playback performance in itunes, or outside itunes in quicktime. It's very much un-watchable, and I've gone thru each troubleshooting step given on the support page for this issue. I've recently upgraded to Vista, and all my drivers are updated to current.
My video card is an ATI Radeon x1950 pro pci-express/256mb ddr3.
Dual-core AMD 64 bit Pros. (yes, vista is at corrent drivers for 64 bit chipset)
Anything I may be missing here?
Thanks

Simple Question....
When trying to create videos from my video camera, is it possible to import music from iTunes into the video? If so, could you tell me where I can learn how to do it?
Thanks in advance, and thanks for your patience in advance.
Doubtful, Protected tracks from the iTunes store cannot be played outside of iTunes and we cannot discuss any methods to convert them. You can burn protected tracks to a Normal audio CD but thats as far as we can go.

How can I talk to friends that use MSN for video chat?

I just got my iMac today and was hoping to do some video chats with family members. I can't figure out how to video chat with them since MSN messenger is not Mac compatable. Does anyone know of a program I can use on my Mac to video chat with MSN messenger users?

I updated Adobe Flash player and now each time I use Firefox for video get a serious error with blue screen of death pointing at device drive ati2dvag - BUT ok in IE 8

See above

I tried updating my ATI driver but I continued to have intermittent problems (system hangs and unexpected reboots) with current versions of Shockwave in Firefox - a right pain in the neck. I noticed that the date changed on the driver ... but not the version ... ??!!
So I am now back where I started (I rolled back the device driver):-
Shockwave Flash 10.1.102.64
ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro, device driver version, 8.401.0.0 dated 27/07/2007.
Haven't the folks at Adobe/Firefox heard of 'backwards compatibility' ?!
It seems I am stuck now ... until a version of Flash comes out which addresses my specific problem ...
Does anybody have a solution ??
MANY THANKS!

Using Final Cut Express for video editing without attaching external device

Hello,
I am a newbie to Final Cut Express as well as Mac's in general. I am wanting to use Final Cut Express for video editing of files, but without an attached camera. Is there any way to have Final Cut Express startup without having it prompt for an external A/V device? I just want to do some basic editing and use the chroma key feature. Can anyone help?
Greatly Appreciated,

iMAC Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi Zak,
Unfortunately, I've tried that and I get into an issue that was addressed in this posting: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=836595&tstart=120 where FCE will show the splash screen and then the program doesn't start. I then have to delete FCE preferences and then I will get the Easy Setup dialog box prompt me again for choosing the external device.
I am looking for a way to use FCE for video editing of files that I already have on my computer that I created using iClone software and is in .avi, or .mp4 format. I get FCE to work one time without the external device actually being attached, but then when restarting the program I get the dialog box asking for the external device and if it's not there, the program just closes, and to get it to work again, I have to delete the preference files and go through the process all over again which is time consuming especially when this is at work. If FCE is not the right program, can anyone suggest a good video editing program that doesn't require an external device and is as good or better than FCE?
Thanks again for your help and support,

What preset MacBook pro would be better for video editing and eventually college?, What preset MacBook pro would be better for video editing and eventually college?

Hi,
I am thinking about getting a MacBook Pro. My current computer is very very old and can not be used. I would like to use it for video editing and eventually to use when I go to college. I want to get one of the preset 13 inch MBPs. I do not know which one will be better for my purposes. Could anyone please help me??

Any computer made today, Windows or Mac, will be MILES ahead of what you are now using.
Raw CPU speed is not the total benchmark of a computer. Look at it this way. A 2.6GHz CPU made today is much faster then a 2.6GHz CPU made just a few years ago, like 3 years ago. the difference between a 2.6 and a 2.9GHz CPU is 3 tens of 1 GHz, 300MHz. The percentage difference is about 8-9 percent (.08-.09). Back when CPUs were listed in MHz, 120, 300, 600, if you have a 300MHz CPU and you replaced it with one that was 300MHz faster that was a Big Jump. You doubled the computing power. Today 300MHz, .3GHz, is next to nothing. Especially for the price jump.
Note that when you make the switch you will either need to update your program, that means Re-Buying most of them, to work on the Mac OS or install a version of Windows in either a Boot Camp partition, Dual booting the Mac, or into a Virtual Machine software program to run the Windows version of those program.
If you decide on a Mac buy the BASE model that is offered for the CPU speed you want. The RAM and hard drive can be upgraded by you for much less then what Apple charges for those upgrades. With the hard drive if you upgrade it to a larger and faster drive, Apple supplies 5400RPM drives, like a 7200RPM drive you get to Keep the original drive to use in any way you like. Like an external drive.
