Is it possible to get a video to play behind an object?

Hi all,
What I really want to do is have a video look like it's playing from an eliptical frame rather than a rectangular one. Is there a way I can place the video as normal in InDesign and place an object over it with an elipse cut out of it, the same colour as the background so it looks like a circular video is playing. Obviously, once the video is activated it keeps jumping to the front. Is there a way to keep it behind the object? Or is there an easier way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

You can create a dummy MSO frame that stays on top of the autoplaying video. There is a "Masking Videos" article in the DPS Tips app.

  • How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together?

    How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together so both are playing side by side on screen at the same time? 

    Welcome to the forum.
    As Steve observes, what you are talking about is called "PiP," or Picture in Picture.
    He has given you the basics of creating a "split-screen" PiP, and that should be exactly what you wish to do.
    For more detail, plus more ways to do PiP, I strongly recommend his book, Cool Tricks & Hot Tips for Adobe Premiere Elements 11, from Muvipix. He has an entire chapter (Chapter 10) on PiP, and many of its uses, with detailed instructions on the settings to accomplish it. Just that one chapter is worth the price of the book.
    Good luck, and happy editing,

    Hi,
    Thank-you for your response.
    Can you tell me what you mean by the .js and .css files? what about them specifically?
    I am able to apparently link to a video I put on my own website that is just http. Should I be able to link to videos on vimeo normally? Or youtube?
    Thank-you,

  • Can't get Quicktime videos to play once uploaded - using iWeb 08

    Please help. I just updated my work website and uploaded a few quicktime videos of my TV spots. These same spots were uploaded and played fine on my last website update last year. But this time around, they're not working so well. Once uploaded, if you click on the controls under the screen, they don't respond. If you double-click the actual screen, the video starts and stops playing.
    How can I get my quicktime videos to play like they're supposed to on my site? I'm using iWeb 08 and my version of Safari is 5.0.2.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I checked. However, it's three different videos on three different pages, and each video is pretty much the only thing on each page.
    That would be great if you would take the time to access my site and see if you can find what the problem is. My URL is www.haleyturner.com. Click on the first square, the second square, and the last square to access the quicktime video pages.

  • Getting concert video to play on ipad mini

    So a year or so ago I bought a concert cd off of itunes, included on the cd was a video of the entire concert.  Up until now I've only ever watched the concert on my computer (and it works perfectly fine on said computer) as I only had an ipod touch so I thought putting it on there was fairly pointless. Recently I got an ipad mini as a gift.  I thought I would put the video on there so I could travel with it and watch it anytime I liked. Here's were I've run into problems.
    I got the file transfered onto the mini fine, although it shows up under 'music' and not videos, despite being a video file. I figured it must be because I bought it off a cd, and didn't think it would matter.  When I went to play the video though only the audio would play, even when I full screened it.  The 'video' comes up as just a screenshot of the concert that changes as the concert goes on but is never an actual video.  I can't figure out how to get the mini to recognize it as a video and not a music file.  If I wanted to just listen to the concert I would just play the cd I bought at the same time. 
    The file format for the video is .mp4, and I did purchase it directly from itunes.  Am I just missing something, how to I get it to actually play the video?

    If the movie is in the Movies section of your iTunes library, select it to sync from the Movies tab in iTunes and then it will appear in the Videos app.
    If you are using iTunes 11, enable the sidebar by going to View>Show Sidebar form the iTunes menu.
    Connect the iPad to the MacBook and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left sidebar under devices.
    Click on the Movies Tab on the right.
    Select/click on the Concert Video
    Click on the Sync Movies Heading. Make sure there is a check mark in the box next to the heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.

  • Problem getting HD video to play properly on standard DVD - dropping frames

    Maybe someone can tell me the proper workflow I should be using here, but for the life of me can not get my beautiful HD video to play properly on standard DVD's. Footage looks choppy, ie dropping frames.
    1.) I've tried editing in iMovie 08', exporting to a 720P Quicktime file (original is 1080p), then loading into iDVD as well as Toast 8. Both play in my standard DVD player like crap (almost like a strobe light is being applied).
    2.) I have also loaded the source footage into Toast 8 directly and it also looks choppy.
    My source are .mov files loaded from my Panasonic HDC-SD5 into iMovie 08 for editing.
    If anyone can tell me what kind of a workflow I need to do in order to get my video onto a standard dvd and play properly, I'd love to hear it.
    Thanks
    Paul

    Hello ipaw,
    I think the problem here is a format mixup (I'm no codec pro though)
    +1.) I've tried editing in iMovie 08', exporting to a 720P Quicktime file (original is 1080p), then loading into iDVD as well as Toast 8. Both play in my standard DVD player like crap (almost like a strobe light is being applied).+
    From what I know AVCHD (the recording format of the HDC-SD5) can be either 1080i or 720p, so my guess is that you shot and edited in 1080i then exported to 720p. The p stands for progressive and, IMHO, that is where the strobe effect comes from.
    To go from an interlaced format to progressive (p) you'll need to de-interlace, and that needs some smart software (and skill to find the right settings). On top of that, your source is a highly compressed flavor of MPEG-4, which you're converting to progressive HD.
    Why not edit in AVCHD and send the project directly to iDVD?
    hope this helps

  • Can anyone get this video to play?

    Because I can't on my Mac. The advertisement plays, and then the actual video never plays. The first time the flash player interface took forever to load, but no video. The second time, after the advertisement (which always plays perfectly, natch), the player loaded right up, but still no video.
    http://www.askmen.com/videos/lonely-planet/san-francisco-hustle.html

    Thanks. I got one of the other videos to play, but badly. The video played for like 30 seconds only partly revealed in a small square in the upper left corner of the player window, before fully revealing the whole picture.
    Funny how the advertisements play flawlessly every time though.

  • I've deleted videos, and then did a factory reset and had to set up as new. Is it possible to get my videos back?

    Yeah so I previously deleted videos and recently had to do a factory reset because the phone was freezing on me.  I hadn't ever backup up my phone, so is there any way to retrieve the videos? 

    Anything is possible. Some things. like recovering those videos, are just not very likely. What is likely is that a friend who "plays with data retrieval and forensics software" is likely to create problems with your phone.

  • Is it possible to get deleted video back?

    Ok it's actually more complicated than that.
    It's actually a segment of a video I was trying to get back. I was trying to edit out this part of my video where I unknowlingly had the camera facing the ground.  I thought what I highlighted in yellow was what would get clipped but it actually deleted everything BUT the stuff I highlighted in yellow.  Is there some kind of undo button or something? Please help!

    i dont think their is a way to get it back ! iv been through this before all my doc are lost after i turned off icloud sync!

  • Is it possible to get pictures/videos from an iPhone5 that will not turn on?

    My phone has been water damaged and my latest back up is a few months old.
    Is there anyway I can get my pictures from the damaged phone and put them onto my new

    Thank you for the help. The developer did say they're not colllecting the UDID's or the data on the phones, but I'm not trusting my iphone and my account's safety in his words only. He did also mention that the date had to be changed in order to download it, maybe because Apple doesn't allow it to be distributed that way anymore, anyways I'll just stick with the apps I get from the Store.
    Best Regards.
