Inserting video into a folio article

Hi
i'm creating a folio for an ipad publicationand want to creat a seemless link between a a video and a background so there is no visible join.
When i place a video on one of the pages that has a black vignette on the lower edge on a black background and view the video playback, a thin grey line appears between the video and solid black b/ground. I'd like the video to play as if it was part of the page without a joint being visible. The video is on the top half of the page and bleeds off teh 3 bounding edges...the black solid is the bottom half with text overlayed.
I've seen the effect in a digital copy of wired uk and would like to do something similar
any help would be much appreciated

Any time we hear reports of odd lines showing up it is almost always because of layout problems in the Indesign document. Check to make sure that:
1) your document was designed with pixel ruler units, not points/picas
2) each overlay has a whole pixel width and height. If there is a decimal portion on either one you can potentially see odd lines.

How do I insert video into my webpage?

I am using Dreamweaver 8. I have taken my camcorder video and uploaded it to youtube and copied the mp4 file to my hard drive.
I have created a page with several videos on the page. I created a screenshot of the video and sized it to the appropriate size. I then created a link to the video mp4 file. However it opens in a separate page.
I want to have the video open on the same page in the same location as the screenshot. Click on the image and it just starts playing.
I notice that I can get it to do this if it is a flash (.flv) file but since all of my videos are mp4 that won't work.
How do I insert video into my webpage? Do I convert the mp4 files to flash? How? What do I do?
Thanks
Matt

Help with html code - inserting video into Muse

I am seeking help writing the code to insert a video into Muse. I uploaded video into my Business Catalyst hosting. I need it to autoplay, loop and not show any controls or frames.
When I host video on Vimeo or YouTube, I see markings on the video that is why I am trying to just host in the same place that the files are stored for my website. If there is a way to host on youtube with out any markings showing up on the video I would be open to that too.
I don't want to see any play button or time bar.
Thanks in advance!!

Hello,
Just as an FYI - we also have an HTML5 video tool over at MuseThemes.com that achieves this, but works on mobile devices as well. The link above looks like it uses Flash, which isn't common anymore since the release of HTML5 based video.
Simply drag the widget out onto your canvas, and link up your videos / set options like loop, controls visible, etc. It's quite a flexible widget, and there's a complete training video included so you don't get stuck
Check out the widget here
Just wanted to provide another alternative that could be helpful. Cheers!

Inserting Video Into My Training

I have some video that was captured as an AVI file and they
also put it into MPg4 format.
Do I need to convert this into a SWF flash file before I can
insert it into my training program? Do I need outside software to
make this conversion or will "Presenter" do this for me? Is there
somewhere that explains the process for doing this other than the
Adobe Guide for "Presenter". I have not found this very clear.

Presenter has the ability to take, ASF, WMV, MPG, MP4, DV,
DVI, MOV, or 3G videos to FLV.
Use the Insert Video tool in Presenter and see if the MPg4
video will work, or if the team that created the AVI has the
ability to turn it into an FLV, that my be the best option as FLVs
work naively in Presenter.

N8: Inserting video into MMS (wrong size is calcul...

Hello,
as far as I know, most providers are supporting a maximum size of 300kb when sending a mms. If i try to insert a video into a new mms, the N8 will record about 1 Minute of video (mms-qualilty), which has a size of about 420kb! That is to big to use it which a mms.
From my old N95 i know a setting, where you could define the 300kb size and the phone only recorded 300kb then in mms-quality. This setting is missing in the new N8 preferences!
Also there is an issue with inserting pictures into mms. Ok, N8 is resizing it, but the old N95 told you when the maximum of 300kb is reached. The N8 don't show any notification at all and the size will grow into the wild.
I'm already using the setting where you should be warned and the picture size is set to small by default! But this changes nothing!
Any thoughts?
Thank you

Hey Helen! I'll do the best I can to provide information in
the order you requested it.
First, yes, that can be done. Just get any one of a variety
of conversion utilities (Google something like "AVI to FLV") to
convert your video to Flash video format.
Second, I do not publish to EXE when I can avoid it, so will
leave it to someone else to tell you whether the FLV can be
accessed within the EXE output. I think not, but like I said, I
don't like the lack of versatility of Captivate's "executable"
output, and avoid using it personally.
Third, inserting a FLV into a Captivate project should not
substantially increase the file size of your EXE (if it can even be
done in an EXE) or your SWF output. Basically the FLV acts as a
"pointer" and is a pretty small file. On the other hand, if you
choose to add your video as a SWF instead of a FLV, you can expect
file-size to increase proportional to the SWF size.
About your "separate note": You can find training at
this Adobe
link to certified training providers
. Use this link to obtain the names and contact information for
the Adobe certfied training providers nearest your geographical
location.
Training companies across the U.S. and around the world offer

Inserting video into templates

I am extremely new to AE. I have CS6 and am trying to learn it on my own... but it's very complicated.
I have a template I am working with that I want to insert video clips into. The template has jpegs that say "insert photo or video here". How do I swap the jpeg with the video clip without losing the keyframes and effects? I'm not well-versed enough to just re-do them all. I am using the templates to learn the program but to also build a few videos for the non-profit I work for.
Another thought I had was if it was possible to copy all the attributes/effects/keyframes from one media piece to another. So if I were to add the video clip to the composition and copy the attributes from the template photo to the video clip I just added and then make the template photo invisible. But I haven't been able to figure that out. :/
Thanks!

Welcome to the world of After Effects! As you've noticed, it can be pretty complicated. I highly recommend that you start here. That is a set of resources specifically curated to help people new to AE get started off on the right foot.
To your question, this page in the AE help has what you need. It says to select the layer you want to replace in the Timeline panel then Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) your new footage item from the Project panel onto the selected layer in the Timeline panel.

Inserting Video into Powerpoint Slide

I need to place digital video into a powerpoint slide, what would be the quicktime settings, should it be interlaced or progressive?

In addition to those things already suggested I would add the following:
If the presentation is being run from a windows platform (likely if you are preparing for powerpoint), they usually handle mpeg or wmv files better than quicktime.
When making the mpeg or wmv, don't set the resolution or bit rates too high. There are usually fairly high overheads of memory and processor usage in running a video within the presentation and if the resolution or bit rate is too high the system won't keep up. This results in poor quality video, dropped frames etc. For the same reason it is a good idea not to resize the video in the presentation. Audiences usually accept slightly soft or blocky video better than stuttering ones.
Make sure the files are copied to the system's hard drive and not run from a CD. Laptop drives often have trouble keeping up with higher data rates and they are usually set to spin down when not in use for a while.
Test the result on the target system!!! If you can't access the target system find a slow one to test it on unless you know the performance of the one it will be run on.
Our company does live event work as well as post-production and we often see bad results, usually accompanied by comments like "it ran all right at home (on son/daughter's gaming machine), but it isn't working very well on my (5 year old) laptop".
In summing up, I would suggest being conservative rather than trying to impress with dazzling effects and huge high resolution pictures.

Problem inserting video into a page

Hi, I have a page created using a custom page layout that I created.
I tried using the Video page field but when I configure the video, with youtube url it doesn't work. here is the url I used,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6yvW66-ThI&feature=player_embedded and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6yvW66-ThI both won't work It gives message at the bottom saying loading of video failed.


I then tried inserting into a Page Content section. I clicked on the Insert tab, click "Video and Audio" then "Embed". I then paste the following code into the dialog. The video loads and I click the Insert button. In
Edit mode I can see and play the video. I click to save the page and the video disappear. I click to edit the page again and the video snippet code I pasted earlier is gone. <iframe width="510" height="340" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/v6yvW66-ThI?feature=player_detailpage"
frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Thank you.

Thank you for the link. I read it over a couple of times but it says youtube doesn't work. I checked the Site Setting ->HTML Field Security and youtube.com is in the allowed iframes list. Below is from the link
Using the "Embed Code" dialog
When editing a HTML field, there is now a new button available on the ribbon called "Embed Code" in the "Insert" tab. As the <iframe> code is inserted, the dialog tells you that the content will be inserted in a web part. YouTube didn’t work because they
prevent display in an iframe due to security reasons but Bing did.
One thing is that we're Intranet site so it has to be https but in the snippet editor of embedded code the video is loaded and plays. It just disappear after I save the page.
Anyway to get youbute iframe to work using either embedded code or in Edit Html source in a SP publishing site page?
Thank you.

Inserting video into Acrobat 9 Pro

Hi,
I can embed a flash video (flv) file into my PDF and and it works fine.
The options dialog correctly shows the size of the video and displays it in the page.
The video is 720 x 370 pixels
snap to content proportions is always checked.
When I link to a video which is online (same file) and I insert by double clicking...
The options dialog shows the video proportions to be 320 x 240. I can not change this. Acrobat then puts a huge ugly black bordered rectangle on the page. This covers some of my text and its size can not be adjusted.
Border is set to None in the options dialog.
When my video is clicked and plays it has dark grey areas top and bottom just as a widescreen movie would on a regular TV.
When I link to a video which is online (same file) and I insert by drawing the area with a click and drag.....
The size of the rectangle seems to be based on the height of the area I drag. It maintains a 4 x 3 type aspect ratio. Acrobat then puts a ugly black bordered rectangle on the page again. Drag a small area you get a tiny rectangle.
Border is set to None in the options dialog.
When my video is clicked and plays it has the same dark grey areas top and bottom just as a widescreen movie would on a regular TV.
When I insert an image using create poster from file in the options dialog the image is scaled/stretched to fit the container (no black bars top and bottom. The video still has the bars when it plays though.
How can I get my video to play and display at its proper size when it is linked not embedded?????
Thanks
Mark

Hi All,
Just thinking that perhaps it would help to rephrase my question. . .
Does anyone else add Captivate demos to PDF files, and if so which format do you use?
Which format should I use in order to embed the demo file and see the playback controls when running the demo in the PDF file?
I'm using Captivate 3 and Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, both from the Tech Comms Suite v1.3.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Regards
Lillibet

Insert Video into finished piece on timeline

I finished a video and need to add about 4 seconds to a couple of shots. Adding those 4 seconds slides everything on the timeline and affects music and transitions throughout the rest of the video. Is there a way to add insert in the middle of a video and not change the rest of the timeline?

Steve, thanks, didn't realize I could do that. Not sure it will help me here but locking the timeline will be extremely useful. Let me be more specific and see if you have a suggestion. I have pictures on multiple layers that overlap with transitions. Basically, I need to add 2 seconds to consecutive pictures. So I don't need to add new clips, just time to exisiting ones. When I do this, all of the transitions for the remaining pictures shift and do not match up. Make sense? Any thoughts? Thanks.

Insert video into different shapes?

Hi Guys
Is it possible to insert a video inside quote marks as shown here? I have inserted a video within this shape but when I press play on the iPad it plays in it's original size – rectangle.
Any help appreciated!
Cheers
Gemma

Thanks Johannes.
I have tried this and it is now working for me!
I have placed my slideshow over the video. It has two states (identical). Maybe my settings could be wrong on my slideshow?
Do I autoplay ot tap to play?
Many thanks
Gemma

Inserting video into layers...

I have a small video recorded on Quicktime Format, and I want
ito apply to a lyer in Flash... what is the best format to do it ?
and the best way to change formats ? thanx in advance...

Convert from quicktime to FLV and you're good to go. Flash 8
Pro has an FLV encoder. If you installed Flash 8 pro then you
should also be able to export to FLV from quicktime.

Inserting Video into Captivate 6

How do you determine how many slides to add to accommodate a video file?

When you upgrade Cp you should also ALWAYS rename or delete the previous versions's preferences folder. Did you do that? If not, close down Cp and do that now, then relaunch and see if it helps.
There are lots of threads on this forum about resetting Preferences. If you can't find one, then look at troubleshooting tip number 8 on this page:
