How To Embed YouTube Videos in InDesign

First time poster, be gentle!
Anyways, I'm designing an internal newsletter for my company, and one of the feature stores includes talks about one of our clients' videos on YouTube, and I would like to embed that video into my InDesign file.
I followed the instructions at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSC117AD88-69F6-4658-A1F1-12012B15B9D7.htm, and everything seems to be OK until I click the "Verify URL and Movie Size" button. It gives me the error "URL does not refernce a movie type." I am assuming this is because it's a YouTube video and there are problems reading it, but is there any way around this?
Thanks for your help!

Just wondering if anyone has found a way to embed streaming media content such as youtube, vimeo, or other video provider movies into Indesign? I also need to be able to place streaming audio from an http source.
I want to export my indesign files to flash to create interactivity but really have no idea how to use Flash.
I am not even sure Flash can embed streaming media content from you Youtube or streaming audio content.
I looked into using PDF (via the Youtubewidget and it works great) but the issue I have there is that it's page transitions are very weak visually compared to that of Flash's page turn effect. I found a source for some code which looks Ok but does not compare to Flash. Here is the site link. http://www.coastworx.com/bookflip.php
Is there a way to export from a PDF to Flash and have all the media & links stay intact?
On another note, I did some testing in Indesign CS5. If you try and place a video from a URL it will require that the video start with HTTP or RTMP (for flash media server). I tried using the standard object embed codes from Youtube but it informs you that it is not properly formatted. I even tried to truncate it to start with the HTTP section of the code but it provided me with an error, stating it must start with HTTP or RTMP.
Does anyone know how to accomplish what I am looking to do?
Thanks in advance...
Robert

  • Can someone please give me a step-by-step guide on how to embed a video in my Indesign document?

    Can someone please give me a step-by-step guide on how to embed a video in my Indesign document? I've got CS4 and I've tried to follow Adobe's instructions. Even Creative Suite 4 for Dummies. But I can't get it to work. And yes, I understand the video will only play when exported as a pdf -- not in the indesign document. Help! Donna

    Please repost in the InDesign forum along with full details including what the problem is.
    Telling us it doesn’t work is meaningless.

  • Is it possible to embed Youtube videos in to InDesign?

    Hello everyone,
    im working with a interactive pdf and i need to put in a couple of video's.
    Is it possible to embed Youtube video's into InDesign?
    I know that this question has been asked before, but a answer on it i couldn't find.
    Sorry for my bad english , but after a couple of hours of looking on the internet and experimenting it still doesn't work.
    Thanks,
    Robin

    Here's an interactive PDF with a Flash player I built awhile back embedded
    http://www.zenodesign.com/forum/zenoyoutube.pdf
    This won't work inside of a browser, but if you download the pdf and open it in Reader 9 it should work. You'll have to click the Flash icon and Allow dialogs first then enter a YouTube URL in the field in the lower right corner and click play. Most YouTube URLs from your browser address field should work, i.e. this format:

  • Embed Youtube video indesign CC/CS6

    I am trying to embed a youtube  video in indesign to be published using DPS into an app on the ipad...
    I was previously able to do this in indesign CS6 then upgraded to CC and now it no longer displays correctly.  I have since gone back and reinstalled CS6 but now that doesn't work either...
    I have tried on both CC and CS6 to embed the code using the "insert html" function and also right clicking the video to get that copy embed code and paste directly...neither works :/

    I had the same problem after a update.  Seems the code for YouTube might have changed or something within InDesign changed. 
    Here is the code you need to hopefully make it work (works for me everytime):
    <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/(Insertvideoinforhere)" frameborder="0" ></iframe>
    You will need to get the string of numbers & letters's that youtube gives in the share code like: Z452rs9qHuc.  I put where you need to put it in bold.  (This is what YouTube give now that does not work<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Z452rs9qHuc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>  (you need to take the info like what I highlighted in bold) & put in the code that I provided.
    When you do the embbed, you might need to go back over the video, & bring up the embbed HTML box again & hit enter to make it work once you have put everything in if a blank box comes up.  That is what I have had to do for the past few months.
    I just tested using both the code I gave & what YouTube give now & only my code would work.
    Hope that helps.

  • How to download youtube videos to ipad without using a computer.

    How to download youtube videos to ipad without using a computer???  Looking to download some videos people created using Dr. Jean music.  My kid used Dr. Jean in preschool and wanted to keep singing them at home.
    Looking for a friend that doesn't use a computer.  I myself have downloaded some kids educational stuff and added to itunes and then put on ipod/ipad using firefox. 
    Is there an easy way, so they don't go to the photo roll??
    thanks in advance.

    There are some Apps you can use, but be careful they will only download these videos inside the App, so you won't ba able to play them in your video app or share them.
    Most popular is the app called "Video Download" but there are a lot of alternatives for free and even with more quality which you can pay for.

  • How to play YouTube videos in HD on iPhone over cellular?

    Does anyone know how to play YouTube videos using the Google YouTube app in HD on the iPhone over cellular? I'm asking because I have an iPhone 5 with a large LTE data plan, which I don't mind using a bit more data for better clearity on the videos. I know in the past people have suggested to use YouTube in the Safari broswer to view videos in HD, but I find it to be non-consistant. Anyone have a better idea how to watch YouTube videos in HD on iPhone/iPad over cellular (3G/LTE)?

    Did you use iAD to create the widget?   If  you did...  then there support  group  should have answers.
    If you used one of the widgets in iBA  - as you have  had no suggestion for a fix... you will need to contact iBooks support.
    The  More Like This column on the right shows links to similar problems.
    It would  seem to be  related to  your  use of  You Tube and Vimeo content or maybe its how you  put the  widget content  together.
    Have  you search the iBA help files, previous posts and the iBA  tips?

  • How to download youtube video in Mp4 format from safari ?

    Does anybody knows how to put link and when video plays just click on it and it will download. I had that option a while ago and cant find the way to make it again. Or if you know any other way....

    Using Safari 5.0.1 and Snow Leopard I used part of what I found online and stumbled across the final solution indicated by brackets {}
    From <http://mac-dvd.com/mac-guide/how-to-download-youtube-video-on-mac-for-free.htm l>
    Step 1: Download the videos
    1. Find your favorite YouTube video. This step is pretty self explanatory. Be sure to use Safari and search for your favorite YouTube Video. {Select 720 p or greater.}
    2. Next, you need to go to 'Window' and down to Activity. Click on 'Activity' to bring up the next dialog box.
    3. Once the dialog box has popped up you need to look for the YouTube page among all the page titles and files listed in the window.
    4. Once you locate it and expand all the activities going on in the page, look for the largest file size (this is shown in the right hand side). Most of the files found in a YouTube page are small files while most FLV files are several megabytes.
    Once you locate the largest file,
    What I found out:
    {Hold down the SHIFT OPTION key and double click on it. The video should start downloading in your download and be named videoplayback.mp4.}
    What I found out in the videos I tested is that if you did not use 720p or higher, SHIFT OPTION double clicking or just double clicking on the large file in the activity window downloaded an FLV file, which you then have to convert to mp4.
    Hope this helps.

  • Re: Embed Youtube video indesign CC/CS6

    Is this also possible if it's destined for epub? I can't seem to get it to work. I've tried everything and searched multiple threads on the topic. Cannot find a single way to embed a youtube video that makes its way into iBooks.

    Sorry Bill Bridgeforth,
    iBooks had broken off the support for the embedded html items let it be maps, videos.
    So whatever video you are placing is going there with the exported file but the reader(iBooks & Adobe Digital Editions)  are not able to support it.
    If you want to check you can verify it on Readium, an extension of chrome for epubs. or you can see on sigil.
    As of now there's no way you can see them in ibooks
