Getting embedded video to pause at a certain point

Hello,
I am using captivate 6 at the moment.
Is there a way to automatically pause a video at a certain point - (to add for example a text caption) than automatically play again for example after a few seconds?
Thanks
Alison

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Pausing the event video automatically might now be possible but you can use the playbar of that video to pause it.
Thanks,
Vikram

How do I get embedded videos in Keynote to play on iPad Keynote?

I've created a presentation with Quicktime video clip on my iMac desktop and imported it for use on my iPad. This is done through iTunes and has worked before, but the message shows that the media did not transfer. When trying to show it from Keynote on the iPad, it won't work. I'm wondering whether finally connecting ot the prject would work, but that doesn't seem logical. Any tips will be of help.

If you have a 6G Nano, then no, it does not support video playback.

Show image at certain points during embedded video?

Hi all,
Just before deployment, we have had a change request :-)
I have slides with embedded videos, and these videos pause the slide until the video ends, the moves onto the next slide. During the videos, we want certain images to appear in the slide, so, for example after 2:20 we would like an image to appear in a box in the slide itself. Clearly I cant use the function of "appear after specific time", as the slide itlsef is only a few seconds long, but the video inside is over 5 minutes. I have played around with an advanced action using cpInfoElapsedTimeMS, but this displays the entire projects timeline and not the individual slides embedded movie time. Is it possible to access the time in which the embedded video has been playing and hence make an image visible based upon that?

Hi Tristan,
You can do this in Captivate 5.
You need to insert the video this way: Video > Insert Slide Video. Then you get the option to increase this slide duration to match that of video or even distribute this video on multiple slides (if the video is longer than your current slide). In either case, the total duration of slide(s) and video will match here. Captivate will also ensue that now this video plays synchronous with your slide (s). Something like, 10th sec of video will match the 10th sec of slide always if you start the video from the slide beginning.
Once you reach this stage you can use "appear after specific time" to adjust your images and now these will match your video.
These documents will help you further:

Embedded videos do not show up on certain webstites.

Embedded videos on certain websites (perezhilton.com) do not appear. I have downloaded Firefox's most recent update and that is when the problem started. I downloaded Google Chrome and the videos do appear and work fine on that browser.

You may have to install additional plugins.

How to loop to a certain frame with an embedded video flv

Hi everyone,
I've searched the internet high and low but can't seem to find an answer to my problem. I have an flv video file that I've imported into Flash CS5 project as an embedded movie, because graphic and movie clip both produced still images. I want to embed the final product onto my website, and have the video autostart in the beginning, play all the way through, and then go back to frame 40 or so and loop continuosly from there. I've tried selecting the final frame and applying the instancename.gotoandplay (40); code but it isn't working. I read that this only works on keyframes, so I tried making the final frame a keyframe but because it is an flv file for some reason it isn't allowing me to do that. I'm a newbie, any help is appreciated.

A second option is to use a NetStream video play. This is a much more powerful and versatile way to control video.
Looping back to any point in the video is very easy.
All it takes to get started with NetSteam is to go to the Library panel top bar, in the far right is a tiny menu icon....click and open it, choose new video, actionscript controlled. A video (icon) will appear in the Library.
Drag the video unto the stage, position and set dimensions as needed. Give it an instance name of "video_screen".
All you need now is a little actionscript:
stop();
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
video_screen.attachVideo(ns);
/* Name of your video, with correct path, goes here */
ns.play("video1.flv");
the example path assumes that the video file is named "video1.flv" and is in the same folder as the Web page... edit both as needed.
Test at this point to insure it's working.
Now to loop add this to the actionscript:
ns.onStatus = function(info) {
if(info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
trace("Video complete")
ns.seek(60);
ns.play();
This example will trace "Video complete" at the end of the video and then "seek" back to 60 seconds into the video and "play" again from that point.
While it doesn't seek to a frame, you can figure out what time corresponds and use that.
If you are interested in trying this method, I'd suggest you set up a new, blank Flash doc and test on there. then exact size and placement is no issue. Just get the video playing and looping. Then implement in the real project.

Is there any way to use embedded commands in text to create pauses when using text to speech in iOS 5? You can do it in OS X by typing [[slnc 2000]] to get a two-second pause.

Thanks for the reply Russ.
Yes, I've considered adding titles and/or generators in the FCPX storyline, but this creates a need to render the entire timeline. As I'm juggling library locations and hard drive spaces I just didn't want to add a new render that will occupy a lot of space. It's also a bit of visual clultter for me, so my goal is to find the best workflow for adding this stuff on or after export.

Swf with embedded videos pauses in PDF output (CP6)

I've created a CP project that includes several simulations recorded on slides. The HTML and HTML 5 outputs run smoothly, but the PDF output pauses at the end of each embedded video. Is there a setting or property that will run the entire swf without pausing?

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Is your Simulations are Video Demo & Automatic Recording ?

Play/Pause button for embedded video

I'm working with an embedded video file and have set up some
basic controls. The client wants the play button to be able to go
from Play to Pause and have the button visually do this as well.
Currently I have one Play button and one Stop button. How do I do
this?
Right now I have this for the play button:
on (release) {
_root.embeddedVideo.stopped = false;
_root.embeddedVideo.play();
And for the Stop button I have:
on (release) {
_root.embeddedVideo.stopped = true;
_root.embeddedVideo.stop();
Any thoughts or ideas?

What would that look like? Right now they're loading using the following code:
btnCashCollect_btn.onRelease = function () {
      mcLoader.loadClip("CashCollections.swf",myLoader);
      btnEndPeriod_btn.enabled = false;
      btnCashCollect_btn.enabled = false;
      btnFinancialMGMT_btn.enabled = false;
      _root.btnHome_mc._visible = false;
So would I use something like:
btnPause.onRelease = function() {
     myLoader.content.pause();
Actually I just tried that and it didn't work...I need the buttons to work for multiple external swfs that will be loaded into myLoader

Pause and play timeline with embedded video

I have created a banner that is currently being used at www.bandg.co.uk
I have been asked if it is possible to add a video to this banner.
However, the problem I have is with the banner having mlutiple slides.
What I am looking for is a way of having the timeline pause when the video is clicked on, then for the timeline to continue when the video is paused (basically making the video a start and stop command button).
Thanks for your help.

How to get embedded closed captioned videos to display captions in Acrobat?

I created closed captioned QuickTime videos using Premiere Pro CC. I then place them in an an InDesign document and set the Media parameters to show the little captioning icon (SkinOverPlayCaption). When I export to an EPUB (Fixed Layout), Apple's iBook (Mac OS and iOS) have no trouble presenting the closed captions (**very very sweet**).
**BUT** when I export as a PDF (Interactive), I get the embedded video with a the little captioning icon on the controller, but when I play the video I can't seem to get the captions to appear (either embedded, floating window, or full screen).
My client's Section 508 compliance officer isn't very happy. Can someone help me? Please?
Thanks!

Even after updating to v4.4, I still can't get closed captioning to work on Apple TV movies (not Netflix) I tried to press the up arrow button and then hold down the select button but I can only see the chapter list, not the cc menu. Closed captioning is enabled in the settings menu and the movies I rented all feature a cc option. Quite disappointing I would say and a big let down from Apple. This will make me think twice before renting any other movie.

Certain embedded videos wont play

certain embedded videos wont play. Flash type. There's a code UT-8 type?
example for the Vindictus game, all the little flash videos of game play wont launch. Its a shock wave file I guess, and the problem is, I cant launch the game if the buttons dont appear!

That is a FLV file played by a Flash player.<br />
Your More system details list shows that you have the Flash plugin.<br />
Do you have problem on other sites with Flash?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

How do I get an embedded video in Keynote on my ipad to play when i transfer it to a pc powerpoint

Hi Everyone,
I need help I have made a keynote presentation on my ipad with an embedded video in it. I transfered it to a pc as a powerpoint and all the slides worked except the video it just was a black slide. Can you transfer it so that it will work? Do you have to embed the video in a special way.

iTunes on the iPad is a link to the store only.
It is used to buy media.
To listen to music or audio(podcasts, audiobooks) go to the music app.
For movies, tv shows or music videos you use the videos app.
