How do you make a video file acceptable to Captivate 7?

I tried to attach a video and although the video was an .mp4, Captivate wouldn't allow it. I downloaded the FLV Converter, but it still won't accept the file.

This is what I did:
1. I added a "Caption and Content Right" slide to my presentation,
2. Then I clicked the "Insert Video Object" link on the new slide, selected the video from my computer (by browsing to find it) and
3. Clicked OK and got the following error message: Failed to load the video file. The file path or URL may be invalid.
So I downloaded the FLV Converter and converted my .MOV file to an .MP4 file and it still wouldn't load and I got the same error message.

How do you import a video file that has extension gp into i movie. also rotating video

How do you import a video file that has the extension gp into ivmovie? Also how do you rotate a video . (the video was taken from a phone.)

Hi, your video file needs to be converted to eg. a .mov or .mp4 file before iMovie will recognise. I use 4Media MP4 converter and it works excellent.
For the rotating I do not have an answer, but if you would manege you would end up with a very narrow image either way.
Good luck

How can I make a video file smaller?

I'm having problems with video file sizes. I've been making cuts to videos I want to put on my website and on Box.com and am not having any problems with the software I'm using to make cuts (iMovie) but when I save them the files are huge. The original uncut file might be around 285MB and the cut version will come out around 950MB! How is this possible? I'm not doing anything except cutting out footage. The files are all mp4, and I'm saving the cut versions in the same format. I've tried compressing the videos, but that hardly changes anything (the best result I've had is it goes down to 880MB). I've recut and saved them as MOV, sent them to iTunes, exported for iPhone usage, done everything I can think of to try and get these file sizes down, and nothing is working. I need to be able to upload these videos to my Box.com account, but with such huge file sizes it's almost impossible. Please help! I don't know what to do.
I'm using OSX 10.9.3 and iMovie 10.0.2

Non-destructive editing is an important feature of iMovie.
iMovie preserves the entire copy of every clip you place into your movie in case you change your mind at a later stage.
So, if you have cut out one minute from a 45 minute clip, iMovie will have stored two complete copies of that clip. This is why is helps to set import as 3-5 minute clips rather than one huge chunk. As DV runs at 13GB per hour your project files can get very big.
One workaround is to complete the editing of a section of the movie, then export that to Quicktime: highlight the clip/s, choose Share-Quicktime, turn on Share selected clips only, and choose Full Quality from the pop-ip menu.
Once you have saved the stand-alone clip to your hard drive, you can re-import it into your project using the File/Import command, and delete the original long clip/s from the project.

How do you make an video/image move or grow in size on screen?

I'm trying to make my video clip move from one side of the screen to the next, please help.

Double-click on the clip in the Timeline to load it into the Viewer. Click on the Motion tab and use the controls in the 'Basic Motion' section. Set a beginning keyframe for each control that you want to change over the duration, then reposition the playhead and make the adjustment(s) - new keyframes will be created if they differ from the initial keyframes you set.
It's even easier if you set the Canvas window to Image+Wireframe and manually scale, rotate and center the image.
This is pretty basic stuff and you should find plenty of information on how to perform these types of effects in the user's manual/help files. For much more comprehensive instructions, pick up a copy of Kevin Monahan's book "Motion Graphics and Effects in Final Cut Pro"

How do you make a video open as soon as page is loaded? Also, which program is best for video?

I have a page with a quicktime video, and am wondering how to do that. Is there a setting in Dreamweaver to do that? ALSO, what's the best video program to do when displaying movies on the web? I'm working with quicktime and most seem to have it. Or do they? What video program is the least likely to create problems with users?

what's the best video program to do when displaying movies on the web? I'm working with quicktime and most seem to have it. Or do they? What video program is the least likely to create problems with users?
Flash. If you're exporting Quicktime files you can export as h.264 that will play in Flash Player 9+
Use the JW player to play h.264 files in a flash player.

How do you make MP3 audio files?

I'm running for public office, and a local newspaper invited candidates to submit statements, along with MP3 audio files for display on its website.
So how does one make an MP3 audio file? Is this something I can do with my MacBook Pro and Leopard alone, or do I need to obtain a special software program?
Thanks.

Hi David!
As Francine mentioned, you will want to use the audio production software that came with your Mac, called Garageband. This will let you record speech, and even layer in music, etc. And when everything is set as you like it, the sound file can be exported in a variety of formats. It will provide a great basic audio recording solution for strictly voice and talking, but you can take things one step further and layer in a music track as an intro or outro if desired for a little more flair, edit out mistakes, etc. A great program that comes right with your Mac. There are nice basic tutorials on the Apple website which give an introduction to Garageband. Good luck David!

How do you join multiple video files?

I have multiple video files, all encoded with same codec, together so that I have 1 single large file. How do I do it with FCP? Ive tried doing it, but for some reason the final file is twice as large as the sum of the individual files...
Thanks!!

When you export an FCP edit, you get one file from many.
If the individual files are all sequenced on one track, with no gaps between them,
AND everything is all the same codec, the output file will be approx. the same size
as the sum of the input files.
You might be accidentally using a different codec, however. Verify by opening
a source clip and your export clip in QuickTime Player, and selecting Get Info.
Compare pixel dimensions, frame rate, etc.

How do you burn a video file not compatible with quicktime?

Hello all,
I am very new at this so I apologize if the solution is very simple - i just can't seem to work this iDVD thing...
I've searched through the forums and can't seem to find exactly what I need, please point me in the right direction if a solution has already been posted elsewhere.
Okay, so my problem is trying to burn movies to DVD. I don't actually have to use iDVD, but it's the only solution i've come up with. My problem is when I add a movie file (lets say, something that will ONLY OPEN with VLC), and press preview, no movie files show up... but when i put in a video file that will play with quicktime, the preview works fine.
So i suspect the preview wont play because the file is not compatible with quicktime.
have any of you tried this? All i want is to be able to play a downloaded movie on the dvd player downstairs
regards,
Peter

iDvd is not a general burn utility. However, there's a very good chance (whatever that file is) that Toast will burn it to Dvd-R. And if not (which is unlikely) then do as suggested already and use Mpegstream Clip. It's 100% free! However Mpeg 2 playback component may run you a few bucks (if needed).
Or the alternative is to invest hundreds of dollars in Apple software and use apps like FCP and DVDSP (or FCS) along with QT Pro. Nine times out of ten this combination tends to work well ... but it ain't cheap (not to mention a rather steep learning curve).

How do you make a Flash file 'searchable' to browsers?

I've heard that ywith Flash you can create an HTML wrapper
and create a style with hidden attributes so meta info can be seen
by browsers. Browsers are looking for content.
How is this done? Are there tutorials that show the process?
Are there 3rd party plug-ins that allow you to add searchable data
to a swf file placed in an HTML page?
Any direction or links to info on this would be appreciated,
Ken

I don't understand what is the problem. More exactly it is
your little
skills (sorry). Do you know what is <noscript> HTML
tag? It was
defined just for purposes like this. Just use some
JavaScript-based
code (like SWFObject) to put your Flash movie on page, and
then you
can insert anything you like between the <noscript>
</noscript> tags
pair. In any case you must begin from correct HTML headers
definition,
like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="description" content="%s" />
<meta name="keywords" content="%s" />
<meta name="author" content= "%s" />
<meta name="copyright" content= "%s" />
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
<meta name="revisit-after" content="7 days" />
<title>%s</title>
</head>
I've copied it from one of my projects, so Change "%s" to a
correct
string.
There is one problem here. Usual HTML pages have hyperlinks,
which
connects pages within one site. Using Flash you can't show
these links
to the search engine. What to do? Fortunately there is a
solution -
just use siteinfo.xml file at your website to help web
crawlers index
all of your pages. Of course, you can insert hyperlinks into
"noscript" area too, but siteinfo file is useful in any case.
HTH!

How can you make Automator see files with no extensions

I'm trying to create a workflow where Automator would have the Finder find Photoshop or TIFF files even if they don't have file extensions. If I choose Kind>Image, it gives me everything under the sun including every image from web sites I've visited during the period specified. If I use a file extension criteria, it misses any files of that type that don't have file extensions. I thought since file extensions aren't required in OS X that Automator would be able to tell even if the file extension is hidden.
Any suggestions other than go back and add extensions to all the files?
Thanks.

taylor.henderson wrote:
You kind of contradict yourself in your question.
If a file does not have a file extension in its name then in general your computer (including automator) has no idea what type of file it is or what you want to open it with.
I guess I didn't make myself clear. What I meant was that the file extensions are not visible. I'm not sure you can even create a file that doesn't have some associated extension. They're always either hidden or visible as far as I know. So I'm talking about visible file extension suffixes. And when they're hidden, the computer DOES know what kind of file it is. Since that is the case, I'm wondering if there's a way for Automator to also know even if a file extension isn't visible.
If however "the file extension is hidden" as you say at the end of your post then I take this to mean your files are named with .extension suffixes and you merely have finder set to not display extensions in which case you can still treat the files as belonging to a certain format.
That's exactly it.
I've been using Macs since 1984, and never got into the habit of using file extensions (suffixes) to the names when I switched to OS X. Now I find, though, that in Automator, it doesn't find files when the extensions are hidden. The Finder still recognizes file types even though the method it does so has changed. What I wanted to know is if there is any Automator action that would be able to find files of a certain type even if the extensions were hidden.
I'm not looking for a way to create file extensions from scratch or get into resource code. I'm just trying to find a way to work with the files I already have, that already have associations with programs and have associated file type extensions even though the suffixes are hidden.
So basically is there a way to do it or not without renaming all my files to make extensions visible? If there is, I'll use it. If not, I'll have to find a method of batch changing all the files.
Thanks.

When converting dvds to ipod, how do you combine many video files into one?

Hello everyone! When i convert dvds to Ipod format (on windows using videora) the converter seperetly re-encodes severeal (about 4) .99 Gig files into smaller ipod videos. each file is about 30 minutes long, and i was wondering if all of them could be converted into one 2 hour movie file(star wars III if you're wondering). If there is a free way to do this (not quicktimePro)I would find that extreemly helpful.

As TSN has indicated we have no idea what program you are using, other than you posted in the Acrobat forum. In Acrobat you go to File > Create > Combine (varies with version of Acrobat). You can also open one and then use the pages>Insert to add the others.

How do you make one video clip constantly switch colors?

I am trying to make it that one video clip switches from one color then to another color then to another? I also don't want to break up the clip into multiple clips then just change the color on each sub clip because when I tried that, it wouldn't load well in playback because there were so many effects in a couple of seconds. Please help me, thanks!

When you say 'switch from one color then to another color' do you mean you want the clip to show in shades of a single colour ranging from black to your colour and for that colour to change, or that you want the colours of the image to cycle so that red becomes blue, yellow becomes green and blue becomes red?
If it is the 'shades of a single colour' you want, apply the 'Cast' effect from the 'Looks' section of the effects palette and use keyframes to animate the Midtones parameter.
If you want to colour cycle, apply my free 'Gradient Colorize a4d' effect, edit the colours in the gradient and keyframe the 'Offset' parameter which cycles the gradient colours through the image. If you're interested I could create a free effect that could cycle through the colours in a gradient automatically.
Download 'Gradient Colorize a4d' from my blog:

How do you make a .ico file in Photoshop CS6?

I used to use a plugin in previous versions, but the file formats sub-directory is missing from the plugins directory. See screenshot :
Surely this should be possible in CS6 (extended even) straight out of the box given that every web developer on the planet needs to make loads of these ...

I read this thread today to try and place the .ICO plugin in the plugins folder.
It didn't work for me either. However.... I found for some reason when I installed CS6 on to my 64bit PC.... it has installed it in two different places.
The first place I tried was in the [Progam Files x86] - seems the right place...right? Not so, for some reason.
Whereas... I found a Photoshop CS6 file in [Program Files] folder too. Popped the plugin in there.... and it worked.
Not sure why I have two installs...? but hey it works.
Cheers to those with useful comments.
#rolleyes at those who didn't.
Thanks folks.
