Issues with Quicktime videos

Hi all,
I run Golive CS2 8.0
Having some trouble with quicktimes on my site, am learning Go Live as I go so please bear with me.
First, I want the video and controls to come up right away so that people can see the loading progress. Right now the layer is just black for about a minute while the video loads.
Second, I can't get the quicktime controls to work, play, pause, volume etc.
The control bar and timeline show up, AFTER the video has finished loading but no response.
These seem like simple questions..
Cheers,
Kevin

Simple answer: you need to export your videos as Fast Start movies:

CP 6 issue with inserted videos

Hi All,
I have an issue with inserted videos in CP6. They play in preview (F8) but not in published output (swf nor html).
This is what I do:
The videos created with CP6, Record new Demo
output cpvc
open cpvc in CP 6
publish see settings below:
Now I want to insert the captured and published demo into my training CP6 project
click 'Video' on menu bar -> Insert Video -> select 'Event Video' -> browse to the file on my computer -> select file (mp4) - click OK
Video gets loaded into CP6 project with default skin
Before save the changes of the project I change the settings on the property panel to:
Now I preview my project
Press F8
Preview is generated
video demo plays automatically as expected
This all even works well with multiple demo videos on one slide which can be selected by clicking different show me buttons (advanced actions created to show and hide according videos)
BUT now I publish my project and nothing works anymore, videos do not show on scene and cannot be selected with respective show me buttons
Publishing settings are:
At the end of the publishing dialogue I click to view output in web browser (IE9) and there starts the trouble:
IE shows up withfollowing dialogue:
I allow blocked content and select cancel in the following dialogue box:
And the training loads, everything works fine except the videos integrated to start automatically there is a blank space nothing.
Does anyone have an idea solution for me?
I am so puzzled and do not know hoe to proceed...
Thanks in advance for your reply!!!
Stephanie

Hi RodWard,
Thanks for your fast reply!!!
The video files are present in the same folder as the SWF publish location.
The drive letter is on my local PC with multiple partitions and not a network drive.
Flash global security settings are set for E:
To your last suggestion about file naming I did the following:
Generate new mp4s
Name them only with alphanumerics ie. DemoScroll
insert them into project
preview OK
publish and check if demos are in folder - yes they are
open html in IE9 - NOK!!!
Now frustration rose...
So I tried one thing that I had not yet tried - open html in FireFox and there it is OK :-)
I do not understand....BUT we need to be able to support IE!!!!
Do you think there are specific settings that need to be changed in IE to make it work?
I would highly appreciate a suggestion what to look for in IE...
Do you think it is related to IE9? ´
Since I have IE 9 and CP6 I also get the LMS messages and actriveX message when viewing projects in browser.
Looking forward to your help.
Thanks in advance Stephanie

Issues with games, video card issue?

Hi,
I have been having issues with games lately. Mostly they are hidden object games from Big Fish, but they start up then minimize, it doesn't crash completely just minimizes, I click on it again and it works for a few seconds and minimizes itself again and again. I am unable to play the games because it keeps minimizing. could this be an issue with my video card? I have attempted updating it but it doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?

Ok OK, Update...
the games work perfectly on my father's HP which runs windows 7...so it definatly is NOT because of not updated stuff....I really dont know what else to do at this point....no suggestions from anyone?!?!?!

Once I installed FF 7.0.1, all websites with Quicktime videos will not play. Each page says I need to install QT. I'm on a Mac, OSX Lion. Everything worked in FF 6.*

I'm using a Mac, OSX Lion. I've been using Firefox for years. Lately I've been using version 6.**, meaning I keep the version up to date as updates come out. Quicktime videos have never been an issue. But, once I installed FF version 7.0.1, websites now tell me I need to install QT. This makes no sense. Worked in FF 6, doesn't work in FF 7. Videos on Apple's website won't play in FF 7.0.1. Says I need to install QT. Makes no sense, QT is part of the OS X Lion install.

I had the same problem with divx also and here is a solution that will work for both first install the firefox add on Add-on Compatibility Reporter that can be found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
next restart firefox then install the add on unplug that is found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unplug/
once that is done you might need to make sure that unplug is enabled. if done correctly after its setup you should be able to use the web player you have installed in windows to stream the videos you find on the net.

Issues with exporting video from MacBook Pro to flash drive

I cannot sucessfully transfer [export] video taken on my gopro camera, from my MacBook Pro to any flash drive and play them on other computers. For some reason the files are not playable, even with quicktime. They will not play with ANY of my video softwares such as divx or any AVCHD software on a windows computer. I need to make a presentation for a club trip in a few days! Can any one please suggest what is wrong? They play on the Mac using Flip player but not quicktime!
Oh, and I don't have issues with transfering or exporting Jpegs or other photo formats. Only video.

hmmm.. the files from GoPro are already mp4 format. The Flash is already FAT32, brand new 16gig...
I am new to Macs but have no problems with PC's. I suspect that because the files are exporting as shadowed files which won't play and are very small kb files, yet they are actually in excess of 140 mb each that it might have something to do with the iphoto software? That's where the pics and video are, they imported to there by default, not to a folder in the home folder [which is where I would have expected them to be]
By the way, the GoPro is already in mp4 format so it is easy when transferring to computers. No need to convert. I tried converting them to see what the outcome might be, and none worked! I tried every format I could find using Video converter ultimate software, which is excellent.
And the problems began when quicktime wouldnt play the file, the screen was black.

Issue with imported video in after effects!

Let me start by saying I am putting together a video editing portfolio.
I have the final video edit complete and have brought it into after effects, after exporting it as a current settings out of Final Cut Pro 7. I then, accomponied it with motion graphics that include my contact info all within after effects.
The problem starts here in AE: when I press play on the timeline the entire video moves very sluggish.. Then I exported out of after effects and the final export is still sluggish with the audio cutting in and out (viewing in quicktime player) !.. Is the video supposed to be imported into after effects by a certain format and if so what? or is it supposed to be exported out of after effects by a certain format or way, and if so what? Basically I'm at the end of this process and just need to export the final video with the motion graphics out correctly so that it plays smoothly without complications.
I've looked all over and can't seem to find a steady answer to this problem. Thanks in advance, much appreciated!

When previewing, make sure that you're using RAM preview to get real-time playback:

Issues with Quicktime in Mavericks. I cant export to quicktime codecs in After Effects Or Premiere

Hi,
I recently updated to OS Mavericks. And in the beginning I really liked the update, but I recently fired up my After Effects CC and Premiere CC to work on some animation videos I had to produce for client. And when I wanted to export my animation. I could not find my Quicktime Codec settings like. H264, Mp4, Apple Pro res or any other quicktime codec. I read some articles on issues with Mavericks/Qucktime and this export problem in After Effects and Premiere. But I could not find a solution. It used to work on 10.8.5!
I tried this... But it did not work ;-(
http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2013/08/solutions-for-problems-with-quicktim e-files-in-after-effects-cc-12-0-because-of-conflict-with-dvcprohdvideoout-quick time-component.html
I tried to uninstall perian. But did not help at all. They even discontinued the product.
Does anyone else stumbled on this problem? Or maybe has a solution? I thought of downgrading to 10.8.5 But that is not ideal because I don't have a Time machine Backup from that period or earlier. And otherwise I have to collect all my data, emails, pictures etc. I seriously could use some help!

After uninstalling and reinstalling the entire Adobe CC suite and all QuickTime components I was still dead in the water. I then tried another User account on my computer and AE and AME worked perfectly with fast startup and all QT/H.264 components in place. This established the problem was in my main User directory...
After some backing up, I deleted all Adobe and com.Adobe.whatever files from User/Library/Preferences and then restarted the computer. I then copied all Adobe and com.Adobe.whatever files from the other user folder and restarted and found that After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder were working perfectly:

Multiple monitor issues with quicktime.

Hi, I can never get this issue sorted out with Quicktime. I run windows xp and use 2 screens. Whenever I open a quicktime movie it takes over one of my screens so I can't do anything on it except watch the quicktime movie. Is there a way I can run quick time so it runs only on the screen I have quicktime running and leave my other screen alone??
Thanks,
Syed.

Are your monitors set up correctly in the Display control panel settings for primary and secondary? I had a similar problem where a QT video would always open on the monitor to the left cannot remember how I resolved it, so thinking it might be the Display control panel. Or clearing recent in player prefs.

Any issues with Quicktime 7.6.4 or iTunes 9.0.1

Has anyone run into any issues with Final Cut Pro after an update to QT 7.6.4 and iTunes 9.0.1? I'm running FCP 6.0.6 on Leopard 10.5.8. QT is at 7.6.2 and iTunes is 8.2.1.

Larry Jordan found no issues so far

I'm about to go for it. I have backups just in case...

Issue with synced videos

I have a 120 GB Classic, and some of the videos I have synced do not play completely. The iPod lops off the last minute or two of each file. It's not all the files, just certain ones.
Rebooting/resetting the iPod didn't work.
Deleting and reinstalling the files in iTunes AND the iPod, then re-syncing, in iTunes didn't work.
Resetting the "end time" in EACH file didn't work.
I'm out of ideas. Anyone else care to take a crack at it?

Okay, I don't know if this will help anyone else, but I figured out MY issue at least. It turns out it wasn't an issue with the iPod at all, it was an issue with the programs I was using to convert.
Apparently, there is a SLIGHT difference between an straight MPEG4 format and an iPod format. There were two different settings in my programs. One for an MPEG4 and one for an iPod (and before anyone asks yes I did try to use the "convert to iPod" function in iTunes, and it said it was already in the proper format).
Once I re-converted the files into the "iPod" setting they all worked just fine. So I guess if you are converting home movies, etc. for your iPod, double checkyour programs. There may be a seperate setting for iPods.
Hope this helps.

Any issues with QuickTime 7.1.2 upgrade?

Hello,
I've been cautious about upgrading to QuickTime 7.1.2 from QuickTime 7.1.1 which came with my Tiger 10.4.7 upgrade. There isn't too much information from these forums nor from Version Tracker and MacFixIt. I see no problems with the current version except for an occasional non-response to playing video. Any advice would be much appreciated. I'm well backed up to another internal HD and to a (bootable) firewire HD.
TIA.
Raymon

Hello,
I have not had a single problem with Quicktime 7.1.2 with OS 10.4.7 on my machines. You can see the specs on my machines in my details below.
Everything works great. No problems
I've upgraded one system to Quicktime Pro and the other is just Quicktime. Both are the latest release, and both work fine.
I hope this helps.

Issues with photos/videos not uploading in chronological order..

I have been having issues with Adobe Bridge not uploading my photo/video files (from a CF card) in chronological order. When uploading I select to rename the files by shot date + 01.. etc. For photos the first image then becomes the last image after uploading, and for video files everything is out of order. Not sure why as the only other thing I have selected to add is copyright info. Also having issues with Bridge not converting raw files to DNG (which has led me to use Adobe DNG Converter - not terrible, but hopefully there is a reason?). I think it is a problem with Bridge, as photos uploaded to my website - something completely non-Adobe related are also then thrown out of order.. so it seems to be an issue with files that have come through Bridge at some point. Any advice is much appreciated.

I just noticed that iTunes is now accepting 'some' videos. They are all the same file type (mp4), but iTunes is just randomly choosing which videos it wants add to the Library & not.
I'm still not getting any results when it comes to the Photos.
... and one last thing ... only random songs are displaying the album art on the iPod. Yhey ALL appear in iTunes. If i restore my iPod & re-load everything, some of the songs that DID have artwork appearing on the screen now don't.
This is really messed up! Wonder if the eventual Vista-compatible iTunes will fix this problem ...

Playback pauses and audio sync issues with live video stream

I'm seeing playback pauses about every three seconds and audio sync issues with our live demo stream when using the OSMF/Strobe player. It happens on both our 2Mbps 720p stream and our 480p 750Kbps stream so it does not seem to be related to higher resolution/bandwidth streams. It also happens if I point directly to a stream asset or if I point to a .f4v with both streams listed for dynamic so it does not seem to be related to dynamic streaming specifically.
The same live streams play back very well without pauses or audio sync issues in the Akamai's dynamic player and even slightly better with JW 5.2.
I have viewed the OSMF/Strobe playback on three different laptops of various age (3 months to 2 years) and two are Windows and one is Linux. I have also tried the various buffering options on the Flash Media Player Setup and Strobe setup and it has not made a noticeable difference.
To see the stream with the Akamai player, go to: http://live.kulabyte.com
To see the stream with the OSMF/Strobe player, go to: http://live.kulabyte.com/osmf
I do not have JW set up for public viewing yet, but the two above show the distinct difference.
We are really hoping to start pointing our customers towards the OSMF player because of the support provided by the community and Adobe, but we have to get the quality of the playback to be acceptable first.
If someone has ideas on debugging I can PM the actual video assets to you.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,
You need to add this setting:
dynamicStreamBufferTime=8
The actual value can be higher or lower. The best practice is to use a value that is twice the keyframe distance. Anyway, try different values and see which performs the best for your content.
I know that the setup page does not contain this option and it is not documented in the UserGuide. We simply missed it. Sorry.
Also note that the dynamic buffering algorithms are not being used for dynamic streaming content. I tried to explain this here:
https://sourceforge.net/adobe/smp/wiki/Dynamic%20Buffering/
Looking forward to your confirmation that this solved your issue.
