How do I edit a published MPEG-4 video?

An employee in my company had been working on a Captivate 5.5 video, but she has since changed companies and I've recently been assigned to finish the video that she started. I have a rough draft of an older version of the video she was working on, which was saved in Captivate. The more recent versions of the project have all been published as Realplayer MPEG-4 videos; there are no Captivate files for the changes she has made over the past three months. How do I transfer or convert those MPEG-4 videos back to Captivate so I can edit them? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there
As Lilybiri said, there is no way to revert or to convert this output to a working CPTX file.
One thing you may wish to do that might help would be to play back the file and record it using Captivate. That action may save you some steps.
Cheers... Rick

    how can i open the file MPEG-2 Video, AC3 on my mac, when its coming from a sony camcorder?

    I think those files are Samsung's proprietary format, so only the Samsung software can open and display them.  If they do not make their software for OS X, then you are stuck requiring windows.
    I thought the DVR itself lets you save as standard avi as the backup file format?

  • How can i edit Iweb published page to open as a Popup?

    I want to edit my iWeb site so that when a link is clicked it opens a different page as a popup with no other toolbars, scrollbars etc - just the image i want to show.
    I found some code online (http://www.quackit.com/html/codes/html_popup_window_code.cfm)  that does this in javascript, but i do not know where in the html file this would need to go for it to force that page to open as popup.
    I have text wrangler so i can edit and save the file in the right format again.
    I need to be able to set up various different triggers on a web page - Its a single photo image but i want to be able to open different pop-ups depending on where the viewer clicks. I tried using a blank shape (no fill, no stroke) along with an html snippet widget. This triggers the pop-up as i want, but it also places a definite empty box over the image. I need this to be invisible.  I have also read that the snippet widget is not the mpst reliable way to add code at specific places on the page.
    Hence i think the best way would be to insert code into the actual page that instructs it to open as popup.
    Please can someone advise me the best way to go about editing the code to get this result?
    thanks
    adam

    thanks for the suggestions...
    unfortunately, i don't understand the code enough to figure out what i need. The pop-ups you show are exactly right, but they are being triggered by smaller individual thumbnails.
    That is not what i want - i need to have various trigger points for different pop-ups, placed at diferent places on a larger single image.
    Imagine a photo of a crowd - each person when clicked on would open a popup showing a specific image. Its not a regularly laid out grid - and the trigger points need to be manually positioned.
    I have created a blank page with the same dimensions as the graphic it contains, then published this from iweb. When i link to this it opens the page as a docked page, with all the navigation bars, scrolling bars etc, as well as a large area of empty white page below the image.
    My question is really how do i edit the code of the graphic page so that it only pops open the graphic when its accessed. Surely the relevant code for that would be embedded in the page itself, and not the link that connected to it?
    thanks for your patience!

  • How can I edit a published Website in iWeb again?

    Hi there,
    after upgrading to Leopard my former published website-folders have not been overtaken to new installed iWeb ´08.
    How can I edit those older iWeb-folders (import them to new installed iWeb ´08 again) to provide from rebuilding the complete stuff?
    Thanks very much for infos...

    Did you find an answer on this, or give up? I've done the latter, and recommend that you also consider buying a more useful application for this purpose.
    This really is an unbelievably silly oversight on Apple's part to "break" our webpage interface so that users lose their website (which I did by trying to link iweb to it) or cannot edit it in any way after a new install nor find it for edit from another machine (like my laptop).
    The whole idea of this "basic" software was that we users don't need to be "savvy". But this takes savvy to a whole new level.
    I recommend you, find some freeware or just buy a decent app, that actually allows you to download the website into it (like the Netscape Communicator's built-in webpage editor used to do). It allowed the user to save the currently loaded webpage, edit it, and publish it properly.
    Good luck to us all.

  • Captivate not publishing mpeg-4 video's or uploading to youtube

    Hi,
    Got a really annoying problem with Captivate 5.5, it's the trial version and until this I was intending to buy the product. But I've just spent a day producing a video with it, the project comes to 1.8Gb so it's not small.
    Anyway, it all works fine, until I click on File > Publish > Select MP4 Video(*.mp4) > Select the Apple iPhone 4/ Apple iPod Preset and click on Publish.
    The software launches does it's pop-up dialoge thing and Adobe Captivate Video Publisher appears with a second progress box saying "Generating Video..." the progress bar sat at 0% while I went away and watched a 2 hour movie. All it says under the progress bar is "Initializing..." and it does bugger all else. I've rebooted the PC, and tried several times with absolutely no sucess.
    The project exports as a SWF and EXE file just fine. But the process balls up when exporting a .MP4 file. I've even tried different formats. But as far as I can tell the sodding thing isn't even starting the encode.
    The software is running in administrator mode, and exporting to a file location that isn't protected by UAC so there's no reason for it I've even disabled my virus software just in case that was lagging the system down. But nothing I do seems to make the damndest bit of difference.
    Can someone offer any advice. I'm not spending hundreds of pounds on software that can't even export to MP4, not when Camtasia does it just fine.
    (System spec, Windows 64, 4Gb RAM, 3.0 Dual core, nVidia 8800GTS 320Mb)

    No it's not dragging it's feet. I can deal with dragging feet. If I had to leave my system rendering for a day, so be it. I spend more time then that rendering CGI graphics. It's not "dragging it's feet" it's not even getting up out of the sofa. It can't be arsed. Error reporting? Not for Adobe! None of that peasky information for users from them! No, lets just leave them sitting there waiting while it "initializes" that's real helpful. Sitting there with a 0% bar. No helpful information like "whow dude your project is MASSIVE, this will take a while." no handy progress bar showing how the initialization is going. No no, none of that for Adobe. That would be too helpful. Obviously they're going to charge you so much money for the single most unprofessional peace of tat I've ever had the misfortune to use.
    P.S. I chopped up the project, into no more than 15 minute segments. It managed to render out the first 4, how it's doing exactly the damn same thing for section 5. Apparently 15 minutes of real world tutorial too much to expect as well.
    P.S.S. It's hundreds of megabytes isn't a problem in this day and age. I can download a 500Mb file in what? Half an hour? Perhaps 2 for slower users. Hell I download games from Direct2Drive totalling 8.7Gb takes a coulpe of days, but there's no problem doing it. As for users without broadband, DVD's hold 4.7Gb, couple of those isn'g a problem. I've got other solutions that will stick 5 - 7 hours of HD interactive content onto a single DVD without a problem. The only real world bandwidth colleges really have to use is whatever it takes to report the examination statistic and answers at the end of the session. I don't think a PC is sold these days with less than 80Gb, and single issue network deployment solutions aren't a problem.
    It's not like their streaming system is worth damn, if you're worried about users running off with your materials. There's no effective DRM solution built into captivate so nothing stopping users capturing the stream and re-hosting it. Not low bandwidth sales pitch they've got you on is totally insane. I can't see any way in which this product can justify it's price tag. I can only imagine there's educational material out there that's so bad it's making users wonder why they pay for the course in the first place.
    Sod it, I'll program the thing in C++ that'll shave off a few gigabytes given the bloated shite Captivate generates. 1.8 is a sodding joke. I can encode 2.5 hour movies at just over 1.2gb in freaking 720p HD. This thing can't even manage 50 minutes of full motion content, and 40 minutes of still images with mpeg-3 compressed audio inserted into the slide. 1.8 Gb for 50 minutes FMV?

  • How can I edit the date of a video stored in Aperture?

    It's currently using the current date rather than the historical date when it was taken.  I receive an error message indicating the format doesn't permit changing the date. So...
    What's the easiest way to change the format of all the videos in my Library to a supported format?  ( Paid Plugins/Extensions OK)
    Is there a better solution?
    Thanks!

    How did you try to change the file date? With "Metadata > Adjust Date and Time;  Also change original file?"  For mp4 files Aperture will only allow to adjust the Date and Time, if you do not specify "Also change original file". If you open your Aperture library in iPhoto '11 however, iPhoto will allow to adjust the original file date, only Aperture refuses to export these chnages, if you want to export the modified video. Do you really need to adjust the date of the original master filr as well, or would it suffice to apply the changes to the version?

  • How to play a Mac-created mpeg-4 video on a Windows XP machine

    I made a short video in iMovie, saved it as a .mov, then exported it into an .mp4 file. Emailed it to my (dumb) Windows XP machine at work, which won't read it. Do all my 50 Japanese English students have to download Quicktime for Windows? Company might not like that. (My Windows Media app in my Mac also won't read it.) Any easy fix?

    Wow, I feel like I'm being double-teamed by the Celtics. Well anyway, what are these 18 wmv. video files I've been sending successfully to all my students doing on my desktop, fellas? OK, the real deal: the .wmv conversion does work, but only in a very wounded way. I found it only converted 10 sec of the 20-second clips I was creating, so I pasted in another 30 seconds of black screen exported from iMovie and they came out perfectly. The QTPro conversion processes half of any .mov file UP TO 30 SECONDS, which I discovered to my dismay when I tried to do 3 minute movie. OK, Flip for Mac it is.

    How can I edit my iweb site when the domain file opens up empty? I have the site backed up in mobile me, on my computer, and on an external hard drive.
    How can I transfer these files into iweb?

    Hi there,
    To edit your site from one of your backed up versions, place the Domain file in User>Library>Application Support>iWeb & then launch iWeb. Update & publish.

  • How to edit Mpeg-2 Video in FCP...

    Hello,
    I have an QT Movie file in Mpeg-2 format that's slated to go onto a DVD (file extension is .m2v)
    How can I edit this in FCP? I basically need to replace a couple of frames in the middle. I guess I'd have to cut out a 15frame segment (this is the length of the GOP?), and insert another segment.
    If this is correct, what Seq. Preset should I use for this? And when I'm done, how do I write it out so as to get the .m2v extension?
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Regards,
    Rajnesh

    I've been told that Canopus' Edius program handles mpeg2 well. Beyond that, most NLE's are going to have issues with it. As mentioned, converting your video to quicktime DV is your best bet.
    Streamclip is usually most often recommended. I've also used ffmpegx which relies on an open source mpeg2 encoder (as opposed to Quicktime's "pay-us-20-bucks" mpeg2 encoder). However, I think ffmpegx only outputs in muxed .dv stream files, so you'll need to do a quick audio render after importing.

  • How to edit a published website

    I've looked around and can't figure out how to get into my published website in order to make changes or add photos. Probably an easy question for someone to answer for me.
    thanks a bunch

    Okay. So if you have published to MobileMe and you have published your site already, you cannot update a published site.
    As you created your site in iWeb, iWeb stores all its files under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb and you want the domain.sites file in iWeb.
    If you want to update your site and alter text and add more photos, as you seem to want to do, then you need to go back into iWeb to do this, so it is the domain.sites file that you need. Amend your site within iWeb and then go to file and click on Publish to MobileMe and your site will be updated automatically and will be re-published in that format, so there is no need to alter a published site.

  • Edit work published to a folder??!

    Hi all,
    I've just done some work with iWeb and published it to a local folder on my HD. When I figure out how to ftp it my ISP it'll go on the www.
    Problem - how does one open up the work in iWeb to edit it? The files are still in the same spot they were originally put and I can open them with Safari to view them locally but it seems somewhat confusing on how to re-open the items on local HD with iWeb.
    Any clues appreciated!
    MacBook Pro 1.83 GHz with 1.5GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Let me clarify...Once you "Publish to Folder" what you are doing is actually saving your website files to your local HD, right? If you want to do more editing of your site, then you open up iWeb and do your thing and then "Publish to Folder" again to view the changes in Safari. So all the editing occurs in iWeb. Viewing of the local site occurs in Safari. In other words, what you see on your hard drive as a result of the "Publish to Folder" command is a finished piece. Subsequent changes to your site will result in these files being overwritten the next time you "Publish to Folder."
    Now, if you want to do some HTML editing of the resulting files (e.g. to add some functionality not available within iWeb), then you will need edit the published files manually with a text editor. Again, these changes are likely to be overwritten each time you choose "Publish to Folder" in iWEb.
    I hope this makes sense.

  • How do I edit a WordPress site in Dreamweaver?

    I found a pretty good article on how to install WordPress to a localhost and run a site made locally on a test server through Dreamweaver (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_wordpress_pt1.html), but it leaves a lot unanswered. Like...
    1. Okay, now I've built a WordPress site locally, how do I upload it to my webserver?
    (When I upload it to my ftp, it's broken. I suspect that this is because the scripting is set to work on my localhost MySQL & phpMyAdmin and not my webserver's)
    2. If I already have a WordPress site up on my webserver, can I download it to my localhost server so I can edit in Dreamweaver and my local machine, and then upload it later to my webserver?
    Thank you everyone! Your help is highly appreciated!

    i am only new at dreamweaver...however, i have spent quite some time with Wordpress and Joomla website building.
    Plese note... In an effort to explain my thoughts (which if left in their original state...only make sense to me really) i use the term "articles" below very loosely as Wordpress is not just a blogg platform anymore.
    The two platforms serve different purposes. Wordpress is a publishing platform...Dreamweaver is a design program. Dreamweaver on its own, would be a very slow and cumbersome way of publishing articles on a Wordpress site. Dreamweaver on its own, is oriented towards creating the entire Wordpress CMS itself...not the "dynamic content" that goes on the Wordpress Site (dynamic meaning published information that is regularly being added/edited/deleted) .
    What you really should be asking is, "how can i edit/develop Wordpress themes in Dreamweaver?" Now that, Dreamweaver can do.
    Just slightly off topic, have you thought about building your websites using Adobe Muse instead. Its much faster and a lot simpler to use than dreamweaver and a great drag and drop design interface! Almost no coding required. You wold not be using Wordpress of course, and the content isnt dynamic, but Muse is soooo easy to build sites with!
    Could i make a suggestion that i myself have undertaken...Purchase a monthly Adobe Creative Cloud plan(to get access to a heap of Adobe CC programs) + $39US/month Lynda.com tutorial package.
    Even if you just use the lynda training for a single month only (you only pay by the month as you go)...you will learn an enormous amount about the Dreamweaver, Muse, Wordpress...and a huge number of other programs.
    Best money i have spent in Info Tech in a long time
    kind regards
