  • How to get video dimensions?

    I'm using a ParallelElement with multiple videos. How can I get each videos dimensions? There is no width/height attribute for a VideoElement and I had no luck using the metaData either. Seems like such a basic task but I've been trying for hours now.

    I guess correct video size is available only after metadata arrives (after playback start). To get video size try to acquire DisplayObjectTrait of VideoElement and look into mediaWidth/mediaHeight values.
    You may want to listen to DisplayObjectEvent.MEDIA_SIZE_CHANGE events from that display object trait - it fires when video metadata arrives.

  • Get video dimensions

    Hi,
    how do i get video width and height?
    Ive set up the simplest of all video players just using a mediaContainer and mediaPlayer.
    mediaContainer width and height are set to 640x360px (16:9).
    when i load a 4:3 video i know that the video is set to 480x360 to maintain the aspect ratio.
    But as i am working with a dynamic size for the video player i am searching for an easy way
    to get the size of the current video. I know that i could do it by taking the aspect ratio of the
    video from the metadata and calculate the size by myselt, but there must be an easier way to do it?!

    Thanks for the quick answer.
    This is either not what i was looking for or i might be to stupid right now
    This is what ive done:
    private function playSingleStream(source:String):void
        _streamResource = new StreamingURLResource(source, _streamType, start, _streamEnd);
        _streamResource.urlIncludesFMSApplicationInstance = true;
        _streamElement = new VideoElement(_streamResource, _netLoader);
        _streamElement.smoothing = true;
        _streamElement.addEventListener(MediaElementEvent.TRAIT_ADD, traitAddHandler);
        _mediaPlayer.media = _streamElement;
        _mediaContainer.addMediaElement(_streamElement);
    private function traitAddHandler(e:MediaElementEvent):void
        if(e.traitType == MediaTraitType.DISPLAY_OBJECT)
            var t:VideoElement = e.currentTarget as VideoElement;
            var dp:DisplayObjectTrait = t.getTrait("displayObject") as DisplayObjectTrait;
            dp.addEventListener(DisplayObjectEvent.MEDIA_SIZE_CHANGE, mediaSizeChangeHandler);
    private function mediaSizeChangeHandler(e:DisplayObjectEvent):void
        log(e.newWidth);
        log(e.newHeight);
    i am still only getting the original size of the video in mediaSizeChangeHandler.
    also the MEDIA_SIZE_CHANGE is not triggered when i resize the videoplayer although video the video
    is definitly resized because it is displayed in correct size and place.

  • Why can't I import anything? "File video dimensions (width/height) too large"

    New to PP CS4 here (that will be obvious momentarily...).  I can't seem to import any footage into any project (well, at least none of the bits I've tried, and I don't think there's anything 'wrong' with them).  Every time I attempt to do so, I get the error:
    Dialog title: File Import Failure
    Error Message: File video dimensions (width/height) too large.
    This occurs with every files I've thrown at it - admittedly, they all have a lot in common, but they're not particularly exotic.
    The files are (mostly) AVI files (I know, I know...before I get jumped, I understand it's just a wrapper, etc.). The files come from two cameras:
    1. A Sony DCR-TRV20. Opening up the AVI in QuickTime Player, I see it's listed as "DV/DVCPRO - NTSC 640X480"
    2. Canon PowerShot A620. Opening up the AVI in QuickTime Player, I see it's listed as "MotionJPEG OpenDML 320x240"
    3. I somehow managed to get the AME to spit out a FLV file. That failed to import with the same error message, too.
    I tried running these files through AME, and got the same results (although never having used AME previously, I have a question on that, below).
    New project, settings are all (I think) the defaults: Preset DV-NTSC/Standard 32kHz
    New installation of PP CS4, with the 4.1 update, on a PC running Vista 32 with all the endless MS updates applied.
    Related question: I've skimmed other threads here, and noted the advice to "always convert any non-standard footage to DV-AVI Type II" before importing....however, I see no such option for that output format in AME....only generic things like "Microsoft AVI" and "Uncompressed Microsoft AVI".
    Codec issues?  I'm a little skeptical, since these AVI files play just fine in Windows if I double-click them. Does that not suggest that there's a codec there for them?  The files are from (what I believe to be) garden-variety consumer cameras (these devices are a bit old and certainly not high-end, but they're hardly exotic formats, I think). The files are small, short clips I'm attempting to use just to learn Premiere, but it gags on every one of them, every time.
    PP is so insistent that every file I throw at it has improper dimensions, but these files appear to be perfectly reasonably sized, and I assume it's operator error (I'm withholding judgement on the quality and accuracy of the error string it's presenting me).  But I'm not sure where to look for the right knob to twist.  Pretty frustrating to be stuck on Square 1 (actually, Square Zero).
    Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Please be gentle, it's my first time....

    Thanks, but....mmmm....maybe not.
    I've tried multiple settings for New Projects. Just created a new one using the preset for DV-NTSC/Widecsreen 48kHz (frame size 720 x 480, 48 kHz audio).  Exactly the same results.
    You say "To point you in a certain direction, DV from a TRV is 720x480, not 640x480."  However, according to QuickTime's Movie Inspector panel, the file is 640x480.  This clip was captured through Premiere - that wouldn't change its aspect ratio, would it?
    The files from the Canon still camera are AVI files, not still images (so I don't see how the reference to Photoshop applies, or perhaps I misunderstood your point). They are 320x240, according to QuickTime's Movie Inspector panel. If they're 320x240, wouldn't that be the same aspect ratio as 640x480?  Attempting to import them, I get the same error....
    While not exactly Hollywood quality, I just need files to play with as I attempt to learn the program, and it's not clear to me why these files should not work - other than the fact that NO files seem to work. Also, I'm not sure what your reference to "exporting" pertains to - I can't get anything imported, I'm not trying to export anything that (I'm aware of) - I'll worry about exporting once I've managed to get something, ANYTHING to import.
    I've got some PP training videos (from "you-probably-know-who.com"). Following along using their project files and their video assets (MOV files in this case), I still get the exact same error.
    So to summarize, so far, I've seen no evidence that this copy of PP can import ANY video file.
    While I'm sure I would benefit from spending more time with the fine manual, I think there's something wrong here that's not going to be addressed in the introductory documentation.  If I can't import any footage into any project, progress is going to be slow.
    How about this: is there some known-to-be-good test file I can grab and try importing that?  I've got very strong suspicions that I'll get the same error message.
    Thanks again.

  • Video dimensions on .avi files?

    Hey guys. Sorry for the double post (I wasn't sure which category I should ask this, so I asked in the "Using Mac OS X Leopard" and "User Tips" forums).
    Just out of curiosity, what is the best way to check the video dimensions of a .avi file? I know Finder will tell you dimensions on .m4v's and .mp4's and certain other Quicktime-only files, but I'm trying to convert some of my .avi's to my iPhone and I want to maximize the video quality by minimizing only as much as I have to and keep the original aspect ratio.
    So far, I haven't found a quick way to check the dimensions. Get info and file details in finder don't seem to help me, even though I'm able to open up the files in both Preview and Quicktime (and clearly there is a defined aspect ratio). Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    The QuickTime Player application should give you all sorts of information about your file. Even if you don't have QuickTime Pro (to open the more complete "Show Movie Properties"), the "Show Movie Inspector" should give you the pixel dimensions.

  • Extra Wide Video Dimensions

    I am by no means a Premiere power user, but I've been creating pretty simple videos for the web for several years.
    Recently I've had a strange problem with the widescreen output dimensions, where the video becomes "extra wide" compared to the source file. I've spent a lot of time trying different things to fix this, with no luck.
    Details:
    1) A client sends us a .vob file they capture from TV (yes, they have approval to use the clips online).
    2) We run the clip through Cinematize (output to .mov because the .avi output always fails). The original clip is in a widescreen format (720 x 480).
    3) We import the .mov files into Premiere to adjust anything needed and output to flash.
    4) I just put the video in Premiere to 100%, did a screen capture and then opened that in Photoshop. Intead of being 720 x 480, the video dimensions are 720 x 400, so the vidoe is being compressed on its vertical axis.
    5) On output, the video shows in the widescreen dimensions, with a large black band on both the top and bottom of the clip within the window, so that it is now squished on its vertical axis.
    6) I have the added problem of having a black band appear on the top and bottom of the video on the output screen - this happens when I select flash for the output. The only way I can fix it is to change the video dimensions to 720 x 400.
    Can anyone help me understand why this is happening and what I need to do to correct the problem? I've checked the knowledge base and other sources with no luck.
    Thanks!!
    Julie

    Julie,
    This sounds like there is still a heat related problem going on. Other than heat, the only time that I have experienced similar was when a MoBo was headed "South." Replaced that, and added more/better cooling, and that box is still working fine.
    When the thermal load on a computer gets up near critical, it *should* shutdown by default. If one is doing heavy NLE work, then things WILL heat up and in a hurry. A computer that works fine with a word processing program going, will often display its weaknesses when working in a program like Premiere.
    If this has happened several times before, the BIOS chip might have been weakened to the point that it now looses its memory. Premiere just gets the machine hotter than most other programs will likely do.
    Flashing the BIOS is but a stop-gap measure. Will possibly work, until the next bout of heat-stress, then it goes blank, or at least daffy. Some BIOS chips can be user-replaced, but I think I'd be shopping for a new MoBo and some heavy-duty cooling to go with it. When installing the new MoBo, bind all cables, so they do not impede the airflow. Besides looking neater, more cool air can reach components.
    Good luck,

  • Video Dimension - how to see

    I would like to be able to see the video dimension, whether it is 1280x720 or 384x216 or whatever when I select a video thumbnail. Is there somewhere to see that in Bridge? I have dimension enabled, and get that info in JPEG view, but not AVI or WMV, it just shows file size. In File/File Info I do not see the Video 1 and Video 2 categories that the knowledgebase search says should be there.
    Am I missing something here? I am using CS3.
    Using Win XP and Windows Explorer the tooltip will display dimension of video file. But with Vista it does not, and do not know how to change the tooltip information box. Any suggestions on that?

    You need http://flip4mac.com/ Its a plugin for quicktime that allows you to view windows media files.

  • File video dimensions (width/height) too large

    I cannot impoty any file of any type into my time line.  I was having some issues with crashing, ended up upgrading my OS to snow leopard, and then reinstalling all my adobe products. Now all of my media is showing up as off line, when i try to relink anything, jpg, psd, ai, and all video files, i get the error "File video dimensions (width/height) too large".  I really do not want to start over and re edit everything I have ever done, and i am not even sure i can do that at this point, as it also happens when i try to create a new file.
    does anyone have any other fixes?  Please Help, I am going insane. 
    I have CS4 Production Premium.
    OS Snow Leopard.
    Mac Pro, 8 core.

    Hi,
    What kind of video files are you working with ?
    I did a google search using ---- file video dimensions ( width/height 0 too large ---  and most of the info I looked at in the search results is about files ( still images mostly ) that are larger than 4000 x 4000 px.. which is a limit for the NLE....but some results were about using cineform codec and matrox graphic card and some stuff about nero and so on....so I would guess the more info you can give about what you have and have done the better...

  • File video dimensions (width/height) too large, importing AVI

    I'm testing Windows 7RC and Adobe Production Premium CS4. Both CS4 and Windows are fully updated with all updates available through today. Premiere Pro CS4 is at 4.1.0.
    I have hundreds and hundreds of AVI files captured from tape and from memory cards created by the capture process in Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5.1.  if I create a new project, HDV 1080i (60i) and try to import my AVI files I get the error message about 'file video dimensions (width/height) too large'. These files were created with the Cineform HD codec that came with 1.5.1. I have the CFHD codec "CineForm 10-bit-visually Perfect HD" loaded on this computer, and G-spot verifies that and can render and play the avi files. Since these are from HDV their actual dimensions are 1440x1080. I've also tried to import standard def AVI files with the same result.
    I just picked a few random projects to attempt to open, and none of them will open. Not SD not HDV. I get the 'too large' message.
    Suggestions?
    Hawkeye

    Throwing out wild guess here, but I think things changed with the way Premiere handled HDV with 2.0, at which point it went 'native' - meaning it no longer uses the Cineform codec.  I wonder if it's possible the two versions just don't mix, despite the Cineform codec being installed.

  • "Error Message: File video dimensions (width/height) too large"

    Hello,
    I believe someone else had a similar problem and posted to this forum, but here it goes...
    I have a project in Premiere CS3 that uses MPG files. The files open just fine in CS3 at work. At home I have CS4, but those MPG files do not import. I've tried converting the files to a MOV file but I just get the same result:
    "Error Message: File video dimensions (width/height) too large"
    I'm using Premiere CS4 version 4.1.0 on a Mac. My work computer is a PC.
    I've tried running the file through MPEG Streamclip a couple times with different settings, but so far no luck. I realy have no idea what I'm doing there or what setting could work, but I've got another conversion cranking away now. We'll see how that goes.
    Thanks

    A handheld 4K camera with exchangeable lenses with 1" sensors, standard with a 20-600 mm equivalent zoom range, with extender, with a simple battery that lasts at least 12 hours, that records on $ 25 SD 128 GB cards, available at every streetcorner and does 4:4:4 color space uncompressed I-frame with a weight of less than 4 Lbs and with a dynamic range over 60 dB, all under $ 1 K?
    Take out the prices and you've fairly accurately described the forthcoming Scarlet.
    It also describes somewhat well AVC-I cameras.
    But overall, I would not argue with your description as a goal to be achieved in 5 years.  In the interim there would have to be compromises, of course.  But there are three things that should never be compromised in any video camera anywhere - the imaging devices should always be full resolution, the recording format should always record the full raster, and only using I-frame compression.
    This was the norm for standard definition.  Only with HD have camera makers mucked things up.  It's time they got back to basics and made proper cameras.

  • Pre 9 error message "File video dimensions too large"

    Pre 9 has given me an error message: "File video dimensions (width/height) too large"  while getting media file (still images) for my movie.
    What does that mean?

    Your message means that your photo has exceeded the total number of pixels (16777216) supported by Premiere Elements 9 for the still image.
    I have gone into full detail on the issue and what needs to be done in post 6 of this older Adobe Premiere Elements Forum thread.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/732067
    What are the pixel dimensions of the photos that are triggering this message in Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1? Also what is the frame aspect ratio, 4:3 or 16:9? What is you destination...DVD-VIDEO standard on DVD disc or DVD-VIDEO widescreen on DVD disc?
    This type of message is not present in later versions of Premiere Elements. But, even though the message in those later versions does not prohibit you from continuing as in version 9.0/9.0.1, that does not necessary mean that because you can you should.
    We can discuss this further.
    Thanks.

  • Sony DCR-DVD505 Handycam: Unable to get video clips, audio

    Evaluating Adobe Premier.  Hopefully helpful for other Sony DCR-DVD505 users.
    Objectives:
    1) Get videos from Sony DCR-DVD505 handycam into Premier Elements
    2) Drag and drop various clips into Sceneline
    3) Insert menu markers
    4) Burn DVD
    Stuck in Step 1, getting video from handycam, unable to get video clips (with audio)
    First Try: NO AUDIO.
    The Sony DCR-DVD505 burns a mini-DVD (1.4 GB) while recording.  After "finalizing" the disk, the media may be imported into the computer.  Streaming was supported by Windows XP driver but is no longer supported in Windows Vista.   In fact, Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2) does not even recognize the camera as a DVD drive!  So downgraded to Vista SP1 and used the Sony Picture Motion Browser to import media into computer as MPG files.  Each MPG file is a clip (corresponding exactly to camera record on-off sequence while shooting).  Then opened up Adobe Premier Elements 8.  Used get media to import all the MPG clips into "Organize".  Dragged and dropped various clips...inserted a menu or two and...burned the DVD.  PROBLEM: VIDEO OK, BUT NO AUDIO(?!).  The MPG files on computer play fine (with audio) inside Windows Media Players.  Read all sorts of nonsense about why Adobe Premier (probably old versions) cannot work with "low-quality/compressed" MPG and needs to be a particular type AVI soo....
    Second Try: Capture VOB directly
    Forget the camera.  Insert the mini-DVD directly into computer DVD drive, create a new project and followed directions from  "Lowdown on VOB" http://forums.adobe.com/message/2117743 and "tools to convert to DVI" http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317.  I loaded the VOB directly and dropped them into  Timeline as advised by the second post (only hitch being the first VOB pertaining to the DVD menu is not recognized and is neither needed).
    However, File > Export is always GREYED out (unusable).  And the status at bottom right seems to be looping on "Background Rendering".  DO I WAIT?  In any case, the whole video is showing up as a single continuous stream and what I want are the clips from the camera?! 
    Then I tried Prism (again as per the second forum post mentioned above).  It simply did something to process 30 minutes of video and crashed in the end without explanation - saying there was an error in conversion.
    Is this AVI conversion even a good idea?  How would I get my clips back??
    Bottomline.  My mini-DVD and imported MPGs plays fine in Windows Media Player.  However unable to extract the camera clips (with audio).

    Dawg, I have the Sony DCR-DVD305, and have been using it successfully for quite a while with PE7, with few issues, once I had a workflow nailed down.
    I believe the 505 is basically the same camera, with some additional features.
    This workflow worked for me in the past so I'll pass that along:
    Sony Browser to PC as Mpeg.
    Mpeg to Windows Movie Maker, output to DV-AVI, taking default settings.
    DV-AVI imported into PE7.
    This should also work for PE8.
    Upon getting Cyberlinks PowerDirector v7, my new workflow changed to this:
    I take the min-DVD directly from camcorder to my PC, and capture the disk via Power Director.
    PD will convert the VOB's directly to DV-AVI Type 2 on one pass.
    I then load this DV-AVI into PE7.
    (PD v7 was pre-installed on my new PC from HP, or it can be purchased from Cyberlink).
    Other options to try:
    Copy the VOB's directly from the mini-DVD to your PC and use Prism to convert these to AVI.
    Or load the VOB or Mpeg into PE, then use that to convert to AVI.
    (Export to DV-AVI with PE8 is done with SHARE/PC, not Export under the File Menu, which is greyed out).
    I've had many issues trying to work with Mpeg's and VOB's when loaded directly to PE with limited success.
    So if you can get it converted successfully to AVI outside of PE, I've found this to be a better approach.
    Post results, if any of this works for you...
    Note: One other thing, if you are working directly with VOB's to PE, especially multiple VOB's from a single DVD, you can encounter out-of-sync issues between video and audio. If this occurs, review this link from Muvipix:

  • Update to kichat: FAQ 3 - How do I get Video and Audio Chats with PCs ?

    kichat: FAQ 3 - How do I get Video and Audio Chats with PCs ?
    (To Replace http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=406147 if Accepted. )
    How do I get Video and Audio Chats with PCs ? iChat FAQ 3 (Updated 7/12/2008)
    Applies to iChat 2.x, iChat 3.x and iChat 4.x to any version of AIM on a PC before AIM 6.1
    This piece is designed for those trying to connect Mac to PC for Video and Audio chats. Any iChat version Panther and up.
    Glossary For This FAQ
    This bit is designed for clarity.
    Video is the sending and /or recieving of pictures and sound.
    Audio is the sending and or receiving of sound only.
    One-Way is the ablity to start either an Audio or Video chat from one end to a receipient who can not match your capabilities (or Vice Versa)
    What is needed
    At the Mac end
    A Mac running OS 10.3.x and iChat AV ver 2.1 or 10.4 plus iChat 3 or Leopard and iChat 4
    A DSL/Cable/Fibre (Broadband) connection of at least an up link speed of 256kbs.
    An AIM , @mac.com or MobileMe (@me.com) account name.
    (hosting Multiple person Mac to Mac AV chats requires higher specs and broadband uplink speed).
    At the PC end
    1 PC running windows XP (home or Pro). THIS A MUST
    The AIM Standalone Application, currently at ver. 5.9 at this link. AIM (the Site) now call this version Classic and it cannot be Installed On Vista
    Note: there is also Trillian which has a Pro version for $25 that can also Video and Audio chat. The Basic version just Texts and Audio Chats (AIM does not Audio chat)
    Some need the aimrtc12.exe file from Here Mostly Earlier than XP or Pre Service Pack 2 XP versions of Windows
    Note: It has been noted that this file is now apparently included in Windows XP after Service Pack 2 and above.
    An AIM account/screen name (AOL or Netscape count as well)
    Service Pack 2 info. This info will allow the PC user to enable AIM thorough the XP Firewall. The Windows Firewall did not exist as such before this
    Between both of you.
    At least one camera (Mac end)
    A sound input device (the camera, if it has one is ok)
    Your Buddies screen/account name in each others Buddy Lists
    Other tweaks
    For some people, using AIM on a PC, may also have to make sure their preferences (properties) are set in the AIM Buddy list, for their camera and /or Mic. (Tuning at Message 570)
    This is an icon button lower right on the Buddy List marked "Prefs" (AIM 5.5). This leads to the Preferences. Drop down the list until you read Live Video. Click on this. In the new window that opens click the button that says Tuning Video and Audio. Follow the instructions in the wizard that opens up. Access in AIM 5.9 for this is in the My AIM menu at the top of the Buddy list and then Options
    To Start
    You should now be able to chat to each other.
    If each of you has a camera it can be full Video , as described in the Glossary at the top.
    To start from the Mac end, select (highlight) your Buddy with one click. His camera icon should be dark. Click on the icon near his name or the one at the bottom of the Buddy List. (You do not have to start a text chat).
    To start from the PC end you need to start a text chat, then select the Video icon at the bottom of the chat window.
    If one of you has a camera and the other has a Mic then you will be able to chat One Way but have sound will be both ways.
    To start this type of chat from the Mac end you will have to go to the menu item "Buddies" and drop down to the item "Invite to One Way Video Chat"
    To start this from a PC follow the directions in the pargraph above. You may need to change the tab to the incoming Video at the back of the two to see the Video. These tabs are added when the Video chat starts and the front one normally states you do not have a camera and shows a connection to buy one.
    It is also possible to chat One Way if the other person does not have a Mic: replies will have to be typed in a Text chat.
    No Camera and No Mic will cause iChat to End the chat with "No Data Received for 10 Secs"
    Summary
    For any sort of sound to a PC using AIM, (Talk in PC or Audio in iChat) the Mac will need a camera. The other person can have a Mic and then live chats with sound both ways and Pictures (Video) the other.
    NOTE: At This Time It Is NOT Possible to Audio (sound only) between Mac & PC with AIM & iChat
    Trillian Basic can Audio. Trillian Pro can Video and has a bigger picture and can do Full Screen.

    kichat: FAQ 3 - How do I get Video and Audio Chats with PCs ?
    (To Replace http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=406147 if Accepted. )
    How do I get Video and Audio Chats with PCs ? iChat FAQ 3 (Updated 7/12/2008)
    Applies to iChat 2.x, iChat 3.x and iChat 4.x to any version of AIM on a PC before AIM 6.1
    This piece is designed for those trying to connect Mac to PC for Video and Audio chats. Any iChat version Panther and up.
    Glossary For This FAQ
    This bit is designed for clarity.
    Video is the sending and /or recieving of pictures and sound.
    Audio is the sending and or receiving of sound only.
    One-Way is the ablity to start either an Audio or Video chat from one end to a receipient who can not match your capabilities (or Vice Versa)
    What is needed
    At the Mac end
    A Mac running OS 10.3.x and iChat AV ver 2.1 or 10.4 plus iChat 3 or Leopard and iChat 4
    A DSL/Cable/Fibre (Broadband) connection of at least an up link speed of 256kbs.
    An AIM , @mac.com or MobileMe (@me.com) account name.
    (hosting Multiple person Mac to Mac AV chats requires higher specs and broadband uplink speed).
    At the PC end
    1 PC running windows XP (home or Pro). THIS A MUST
    The AIM Standalone Application, currently at ver. 5.9 at this link. AIM (the Site) now call this version Classic and it cannot be Installed On Vista
    Note: there is also Trillian which has a Pro version for $25 that can also Video and Audio chat. The Basic version just Texts and Audio Chats (AIM does not Audio chat)
    Some need the aimrtc12.exe file from Here Mostly Earlier than XP or Pre Service Pack 2 XP versions of Windows
    Note: It has been noted that this file is now just another link to the Standalone application. This might be an error by AIM or a newer version that includes the file.
    An AIM account/screen name (AOL or Netscape count as well)
    Service Pack 2 info. This info will allow the PC user to enable AIM thorough the XP Firewall. The Windows Firewall did not exist as such before this
    Between both of you.
    At least one camera (Mac end)
    A sound input device (the camera, if it has one is ok)
    Your Buddies screen/account name in each others Buddy Lists
    Other tweaks
    For some people, using AIM on a PC, may also have to make sure their preferences (properties) are set in the AIM Buddy list, for their camera and /or Mic. (Tuning at Message 570)
    This is an icon button lower right on the Buddy List marked "Prefs" (AIM 5.5). This leads to the Preferences. Drop down the list until you read Live Video. Click on this. In the new window that opens click the button that says Tuning Video and Audio. Follow the instructions in the wizard that opens up. Access in AIM 5.9 for this is in the My AIM menu at the top of the Buddy list and then Options
    To Start
    You should now be able to chat to each other.
    If each of you has a camera it can be full Video , as described in the Glossary at the top.
    To start from the Mac end, select (highlight) your Buddy with one click. His camera icon should be dark. Click on the icon near his name or the one at the bottom of the Buddy List. (You do not have to start a text chat).
    To start from the PC end you need to start a text chat, then select the Video icon at the bottom of the chat window.
    If one of you has a camera and the other has a Mic then you will be able to chat One Way but have sound will be both ways.
    To start this type of chat from the Mac end you will have to go to the menu item "Buddies" and drop down to the item "Invite to One Way Video Chat"
    To start this from a PC follow the directions in the pargraph above. You may need to change the tab to the incoming Video at the back of the two to see the Video. These tabs are added when the Video chat starts and the front one normally states you do not have a camera and shows a connection to buy one.
    It is also possible to chat One Way if the other person does not have a Mic: replies will have to be typed in a Text chat.
    No Camera and No Mic will cause iChat to End the chat with "No Data Received for 10 Secs"
    Summary
    For any sort of sound to a PC using AIM, (Talk in PC or Audio in iChat) the Mac will need a camera. The other person can have a Mic and then live chats with sound both ways and Pictures (Video) the other.
    NOTE: At This Time It Is NOT Possible to Audio (sound only) between Mac & PC with AIM & iChat
    Trillian Basic can Audio. Trillian Pro can Video and has a bigger picture and can do Full Screen.
