Is it possible to slowdown an embedded .avi movie in an .fla?

Hello,
My appologies for posting something that might get brought up often, but I've looked and can't seem to find a direct answer for this...
Our graphic designer has embedded a spinning globe .avi movie into an .fla, but it's too fast.
Is it possible to somehow add actionscript to the .avi file embedded in the .fla so that it slows down a bit??
Thanks,
Mike

I would think you can bring the .mov into the timeline and make your split and add your pictures. You will have to adjust the audio obviously.
Good luck.

Is it possible to set an embedded movie to Autoplay?

Is it possible to set an embedded movie to Autoplay? (Other than the intro movie) I don't see a setting for it.

No I didn't try it, it dosn't matter.
Media files auto play all ready, so do keynotes.
When they are full screen only they auto play.
HTML5 only plays full screen
so even if someone does get a html5 widget to auto play a video
it will still require a tap (to go full screen) so it will be just like the media or keynote widget. ie it dosn't matter, the end effect is the same as using a media widget. one tap required.
If someone can get a html5 widget to play in place or automaticly go full screen apon entering the page,
that is different.

Embedded avi content – default playback on built-in flash player instead of quicktime?

Hello, I am creating a pdf book with hundreds of audio clips embedded. Because Indesign can't import mp3, I actually had to convert all my mp3 files to avi files without video, then import those into the indesign document for export to pdf. I used avi because it uses an mp3 codec (??) and keeps each sound file at 300k compared to 4mb for the same file as an swf or wav. Size is important because the book has 800 clips in total. So that was my first question. Would anyone have done something different? Well now I have a second issue. When Indesign exports to pdf, the avi files (embedded) are set to automatically open with the built-in quicktime player. And I noticed that the embedded avi files are identified as "quicktime content." This would be ok with me if the quicktime player played the files, but it doesn't; it just freezes when I click on the file. Now, of course, I can manually change each avi file in the pdf to open with the built-in flash player, and that works fine, and that's the player I'd like the files to open with, but this is impossible as a solution because if I have to edit this document in a month or so, I would then have to manually change the properties (rendition) of all the avi files again in the new pdf. As it is now, when I open the pdf and select the avi object then click properties, then edit rendition, I see that quicktime has been chosen as the default. Is there a way to export from indesign to pdf so that the preferred player of avi files is not set automatically to quicktime, and instead to flash player? I hope I've described the issues clearly. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi Chris,
Hardware acceleration on or off makes absolutely no difference, i recently tried watching videos in a 100% fresh install and new profile in firefox (no addons) and the problem still occurs albiet a little slower in the new install, ie it takes a little longer to drop out of synch.
There is a noticeable difference in framerate just before the problem occurs, like a very tiny hiccup, from that point on the audio gets left further and further behind, it's remedied by clicking back a few seconds on the video play bar but this is only temporary, lately i've even noticed it happening with live streams from the BBC, once again i must stress, this doesn't happen in Chrome or Opera or IE.

Script to force embedded avi to open with acrobat's built-in flash player instead of quicktime

Hi, when I export to pdf with an avi file embedded, acrobat automatically tries to play it with the built-in quicktime player, which it fails to do; it just ends up freezing. Is there a script for indesign that would tell the avi file to open with the built in flash player (in acrobat) instead? or would that be an acrobat script? When I open the pdf, I notice that it reconizes the embedded avi as "quicktime content." I am guessing that indesign made it "quicktime content" when it imported the avi? any suggestions would be appreciated.

But as soon as I install QuickTime--even though the default for .m4a is
still set to WMP--in IE8 the .m4a file is now opening up with the QuickTime
browser plugin! Windows Explorer is still fine and it opens up the file
with WMP, but only IE is using the wrong default program.
Okay ... if it's MPEG 4 audio files causing the issue, try the following procedure.
Launch QuickTime. Go "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences". Click the "Browser" Tab. Click the "MIME Types" button.
Expand *MPEG - MPEG system, video, and audio files* and uncheck "MPEG audio". OK out of the tabs, and quit QuickTime.
Does IE 8 launch the .m4a files in WMP now?

Is it not possible to print Flash embedded in PDF as you see it on screen?

Hi,
I have this problem to which I cannot find a solution. I posted my question to another mailing list but I didn't get a reaction.
It is about printing a PDF which contains Flash movies. Actually zooming is an issue too, but printing is more important.
I have attached a sample file. When opened with Adobe Reader 9.1, the first page looks OK. The charts on the
second page are wider than the page width, so that's OK too.
Zoom in; you will observe that the Flash charts will not get resized right away. To
see the effect of zooming, set the page display to "single page", page
forward/backward.
Print the file, the size of the printed Flash charts is much smaller than what is
displayed.
Am I missing something, or isn't printing PDF with embedded Flash movies 100% supported?
Thanks

IPhone: Using embedded QT movies that either Loop or Loop Back and Forth

Hi to everyone,
I'm working on a very simple iPhone app:
it has several buttons that launch different QuickTime movies embedded in the application, that will either Loop or Loop Back and Forth.
The desired looping behaviour is already set within QuickTime itself (those settings are available in QuickTime's View menu).
So far it doesn't seem to work, as the iPhone's SDK doesn't seem to recognize these QuickTime settings of Loop or Loop Back and Forth.
I've been trying to find advanced documentation on the matter, with no luck.
Does anyone knows if it's possible to create an iPhone application that has embedded QuickTime movies that either Loop or Loop Back and Forth?
If it is possible to do so, can you please post some code (or links) explaining how to proceed?
If the feature is not currently supported, does anyone knows if it will eventually be supported by Apple (maybe in a future SDK revision)?
While I don't know the entire context the SDK engineering team has to contend with, it seems to me it should be rather simple for Apple's iPhone SDK to simply accept the settings already put in place inside a QuickTime movie.
Many thanks in advance for any feedback on this!

Well, my programmers have come back to me and the news is not good.
The QTMovieLoopsAttribute is not supported in the SDK's QT Kit.
I'll now call it SDK's *QuickTime Kit Lite*, if you don't mind.
*QuickTime Kit Lite*, the key audio/video toolbox available for development of applications on the iPhone through the SDK, provides a single option:
a Play / Stop button.
The only other thing available (I think) is the option to hide the play/stop controller. That's it.
Apparently, there are several unofficial, private frameworks that give access to lower-level QuickTime functions and that may provide a way to actually loop videos, but chances are that an app using these unofficial frameworks would get rejected by Apple upon submission for the store.
I'm still waiting for more info and the final word from my programmers, but from the looks of it, this is going to be a show-stopper shortcoming of QT Kit Lite, as far as my project is concerned.
I'm probably going to have to fold my project and wait (hope) for an eventual upgrade to the SDK's QT Kit.
By the way, does anyone knows if there is a way to communicate with Apple and request new features for inclusion in future revisions of the SDK?
Upgrading the QuickTime Kit librairies to include the video Loop and Loop Back and Forth Attributes would be my first (and only) request.
many thanks to all!

AVI movie duration in File Info?

Whenever AVI movie is selected in Finder brief File Info is listed including Preview in right panel. It contains such fields as Kind, Size, etc. and Duration. Unfortunately Duration field of all AVI files is empty (--). Is it possible somehow to make this field showing real number?
Otherwise I have to open every movie in Quicktime -> FileInfo to get movie Duration.

Spotlight reads file metadata (image dimensions, video dimension/duration for example), then Finder reads Spotlight's index and displays the information in column view and in the "Get Info" window. That's the basic concept, your/our problem is an issue caused by Spotlight.
Spotlight misses a plugin (*.mdimporter) telling it to read the metadata from .avi files. CoreMedia.mdimporter in System/Library/Spotlight links to .mov, .mpg, .mp4, .3ggp only. Well, to QuickTime's core media formats, you know.
A workaround is to save .avi files as .mov files ("movie container") in QuickTime Player. The file will not be exported/encoded in any way, it will simply be "compressed" in a container, kind of zipped, and Spotlight will read the information. It's just the file extension. In QuickTime 7 you have to select "self-contained movie", otherwise you'll create an alias. QuickTime X saves self-contained movies by default. Of course, this only works, if your .avi file opens with QuickTime Player...
A solution may simply be to edit the Info.plist in CoreMedia.mdimporter. I don't know. Most likely not, much too simple. And then there's still Code Signature.

Creating slideshow with AVI movie files in iDVD 06?

Today I was trying to create a slideshow movie with iDVD. I had some AVI movie files that came from my Canon digital camera. I wasnt able to drag them into the slideshow well, so I thought I had to convert them to a .mov file, after converting them I still wasnt able to use them. Is it possible to make a slideshow with movie files as well as pictures in iDVD 06? I know for a fact that I can do this on iDVD 08, so is it possible? thanks in advance.

Slideshows using movies is just an iLife '08 thing.
I suggest you do what I do. Use VisualHub to convert the AVI slideshows to DV video movies. The DV video will work great in iDVD 6 when put on a menu page.

Thumbnails of AVI movies in Finder

What can I do to get the first frame of AVI movies displayed as thumbnails?
(instead of these unpredictable thumbnails)
I hope there is an easy way because I have lots of clips...
Thanks!!

Thanks. I only use QT and I don't want to get and install other players.
(I try to install as little software as possible!)
Is there another way to change the thumbnail to the first frame?
I have several movies that are associated with QT as the default and they show a first-frame icon.
One is an mp4, another is a wmv, another an m4v, and yet another is an avi. All have first-frame icons are are asscociated with QT, so I don't understand the problem you are having.
When you right-click your avi file, and select "Open With" is QT listed as the default?
If not, then do what I originally wrote, selecting Other and then selecting QT and checking "Always open with" and see what happens. If "Always open with" is not checked then the icon may not associate properly with the app.
Again, all my QT movies have the first-frame icon.
What icon do yours have?

Keynote does not support exporting with embedded Quicktime Movies

I hope this helps a few of you out before you run into this problem.
Keynote does not support export to Quicktime with any slides that contain a quicktime movie.
Created a 27 page slide show with transitions, music, narrations and 6 Quicktime movies (Actually LiveType Text scrolls)
When I attempted to export it never finishes the export cutting it short after about 20 pages.
And the pages with the movies, don't start playing.
It exports fine as a quicktime movie without the movies inserted though.
Spoke with Apple Support and they confirmed that quicktime placed files within Keynote playback is only supported from the native Keynote Application.
I read somewhere on this board that it was an issue with Quicktime version 7.5, not so as I tried the same test on a mac with Quicktime 7.42 and it had the same issue.
So, beware.
LJS

Maybe I didn't understand well what you said but it is possible to export a Keynote file with embedded Quicktime movies to a quicktime movie. Actually, I'm doing it and I works. BUT, the issue I get is that I can't get my embedded videos to loop. Grrr...

Extracting original audio from .avi movie

I imported an .avi movie. The original sound plays, but does not show as a green strip. There is no way to delete/extract it. I called Apple Tech Support and they suggested, I buy "Final Cut" at $1000 a pop. Does anyone have a better idea?

As I originally stated, I tried everything, including calling Apple Tech Support. They said: "It cannot be done with iMovie 2009, you need to buy First Cut."
I found a way to remove the embedded audio with iTunes Professional [upgrade]. A friend told me Pinacle Studio [PC] will also do it. However, I am very unhappy that Apple removed the embedded audio extraction feature when they went from iMovie HD to iMovie 2009.
I think they want to sell more First Cut Software. I think they are making a mistake. They will **** people off.

How do I rotate an AVI movie?

This is a weird one, but here goes.
I'm using a Canon SD550, which makes AVI movies. I've got a couple of such movies where the camera was held vertically rather than horizontally. They don't display correctly in iPhoto or Quicktime.
My solution is to use QT Pro, open the properties window and change the visual settings for the video track.
Then I save as, which creates an MOV file. Then I import the new file back into iPhoto and copy the the time and date from the old, unrotated file and then finally, delete the old file.
The problem is that in one case the "poster frame" comes in garbled, no matter what I do. This is not the Quicktime poster frame -- it's the still frame that iPhoto shows you in the iPhoto library. It seems to have been taken from the first frame of the file, but it's all jumbled up and looks like a mess.
Does anybody know whether this is a serious problem? Does it mean the video is messed up somehow (it seems to play fine)? And does anybody know how to fix it?
Thanks very much to anyone who can help.
Steve

Steve,
I haven't tried rotating with QT Pro, but I do have a suggestion for you. My Canon came with ImageBrowser. I don't normally use it because iPhoto is superior. However, if you select a video clip in IB you can open it inside the Video Edit task. It has several functions to edit the clip, including actually rotating it. (By actually I mean that it's not just a display setting.) If you have this app, you could rotate the video clip before importing into iPhoto. I would expect that iPhoto would have no problem creating the poster frame and thumbnail correctly. I have used rotated clips in iMovie with no problems.
I thought QT pro could also properly rotate a video clip, without just changing the display settings. People on the QT forums or iMovie forums (esp QuickTime Kirk) would be able to advise you there.
Regards.

Can I play an avi movie in a Java applet?

Yes, I know about the existence of Google, but I got swamped by totally irrelevant hits when I tried to google it.
I simply want to know if a java applet can be used to play a avi movie on a html page? And if yes, if anyone know a site that details how to do it?

How can i play an avi movie on my mac using 10.10.3

I'm using Macbook Pro Version 10.10.3
I'm trying to play an .AVI movie I downloaded and can't get it to open. I saw a solution online named VLC, but am not sure if I should trust it. The other question is if I did use it would it interfere with normal QuickTime usage?

No, it won't.
An .avi doesn't tell the full story. .avi, .mpg, .wav, .mp3, ...etc. are just wrappers. The content is encoded with a Codec. The codec that encodes the media is the part that matters wrt whether it will play natively.
VLC will decode a multitude of codecs.
