Loop flash video in Acrobat Pro 9

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to make an inserted FLV video loop in Acrobat Pro 9? Neither the import dialog nor the playback controls have this option.

Sorry I meant in flash In other words editing for the FLV is controled with Flash or whatever application that created it. Acrobat just has a player built in.

Flash video in Acrobat X makes scrolling document slow or freeze after playing

I am running an HP Intel Core i7 CPU @2.8 GHz, with 8 GB memory and the 64 bit Windows 7 operating system and using Google Chrome and a Nvidia GeForce GT 220 graphics card that shows:
Total available graphics memory 4095 MB
Dedicated Video Memory: 1024MB
System Video Memory: 0MB
Shared System memory: 3071MB
I made a PDF and inserted a 1 minute flash video into the PDF which has about 3 pages of text.
1. I scroll down to the flash video with no problem...
2. I click on the flash vid and it starts to play, no problem.
3. After it is playing I start to scroll up and down to the other pages and it is fine for a while, but then sometimes the scolling freezes and cannot scroll any more. Also right after the video stops and I try to scroll the scrolling gets stuck. So it hangs for a few seconds but then once the video is stopped I can scroll up and down fine again.
The scrolling limitation appears to be related to the fact the video is playing. But My PC and graphics card are not what I woudl consider 'slow' or out dated.
It seems like quite a bad thing to happen for anyone who reads such a document and plays the video and then decides to start scrolling again to read the text below it.
Leads to a bad user experience...
Does this happen to everyone else out there?
Is there a fix for this?

Rich media (Flash, video, 3D, etc.) is stored in the PDF file in compressed form, and is uncompressed at the point of playback (i.e. when the video activates). This introduces a small delay if you're scrolling past a video, and there's not a lot you can do about it.

Flash Player in Acrobat Pro?

Hi there,
I have very carefully installed (and uninstalled... and installed...) the latest flash player on my computer.
I am also running Adobe Design Premium CS4.
I note the flash player doesn't appear in the list of players in my acrobat settings.
I have a pdf file with flash content which does not open in Acrobat. Instead i get the following message:
This takes me to a website (http://cgi.adobe.com/special/acrobat/mediaplayerfinder/mediaplayerfinder.cgi?) where I am told: "We're sorry, but the third-party media player required to play the selected media file in your Adobe PDF document isn't available for your system. No media player will be downloaded at this time."
My pdf file works on any other computer i've tried... all of these computers have Flash Player shown in the list of potential 'preferred media players' above.
I've carefully followed the instructions for removing flash (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html), and for reinstalling it. No joy yet.
My conclusion is that flash is not installing correctly into Acrobat. I've posted questions and a support case with the Acrobat team, but they have suggested it is a flash player issue.
Can anybody help me resolve this problem?
Thanks,
Geoff

Believe it or not, here is the solution to the problem:
I installed flash player with Mozilla Firefox. This doesn't install flash for internet explorer, or Acrobat.
The internet explorer flash install also installs flash player in Acrobat, whereas the Mozilla Firefox flash install doesn't.
So the solution:
Go to the flash website in Internet Explorer, and download the flash player.
Then everything works fine!

Exporting flash videos to Premiere Pro

I use Flash for animating photos and then export the movie as .mov and import the same in Premiere Pro. The final rendered video file (.mp4) from Premiere Pro after editing has the images shaking. Why is it so?
For animations to be imported in Premiere Pro, what is the best format to be exported in Flash?
Thanks,
Bhanu

If you want to have the best quality and an up-to-date PC you should go for png-sequence.
Import that png as footage in Premiere and you should get a sharp result

Jittery Flash video on MacBook Pro (2011) with hardware acceleration

When I use hardware acceleration the video either has artifacts or is too jittery to watch, disabling hardware acceleration fixes everything. I'm not sure if this is a flash bug, or perhaps a hardware problem on my MBP.
e.g. Here's what the video looks like: http://db.tt/Nq1omoX
Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-14610722
OS X Lion (10.7.1)
AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024MB
Flash 10.3.183.5
Happens with Safari, Chrome, Firefox, everything appears to be up to date, reinstalled flash, 100% reproducible.
Any ideas?

Stop Flash videos from looping

Does anyone have a fix for looping Flash videos? I have
produced some Flash videos with Camtasia. They don't loop anywhere
else (including the preview function built into Presenter within
Powerpoint), but they do loop when published. Thanks.

Good call Leo!
This is a well known artifact of dropping swfs into the
Presenter
environment...and for what it's worth, there's another work
around to that "bug" in the following way:
Rather than having all of your animations occuring on the
main timeline in Flash, what you might want to explore is
converting *everything* into movie clips; this way, you can totally
control what happens (and when) based on user interaction.
As an example, I have a sample demo you can view on my site
here:
http://robrode.com/Breeze_demos/myIdentity/index.htm
If you advance to slide 17 of that presentation, what you'll
see is the slide set up and the flash anim located on the lower
section of the slide will just park on frame one. It's only when
you click the thumbnails that the additional animated objects
become visible.
The point in all of this is that more you keep things OFF the
main timeline, the better. Granted, this example is set up such
that we're asking the learner to explore stuff, but with nested
movie clips in Flash, so long as you know how to "call" the movie
clips, you can totally control the playback of your flash content.
Hope that helps!
Rob

Acrobat Pro Crash with Flash Import

Every time I try to import a Flash file with the Flash tool in Acrobat Pro v9.2.0 it crashes out. i thought it might have been a file size issue but it happens regardless of the size of the file I am trying to import.
I'm running 10.6.1 on a MacBook Pro which is a year old.

BSOD's are never good. They point to a problem much bigger and deeper than any software issues.
When XP came out eleven years ago, people were astonished at how much processor it took to handle the GUI vs Windows 98. Processors an RAM have upgraded a lot since then. It was worse with VIsta, even on newer systems. Seven was a step in the right direction, but I'd guess that your old computer (your words, not mine) isn't up to the task of running Windows 7.

Can't get On2 Flash Video to show in Compressor 3

I've followed the steps below:
In the settings window, click the little icon with a + and a down triangle, then choose QuickTime Export Component. Then when the panel comes up, choose Flash VIdeo (FLV) from the Encoder Type drop menu. Then hit options to choose your options.
But the only FLV option that shows is Macromedia FLV exporter DEMO VERSION that was installed with MX
I bought the On2 FLV exporter but can't figure out why it doesn't show up in the "Quicktime Export Component" menu. However, It does show up in the "Use Quicktime Conversion" menu of Final Cut.
Any Ideas?

Yeah, it's definitely supposed to. Here's some info from On2's (new) web site regarding Flix Exporter. The previous site had the same info for Flix Pro:
"Flix Exporter
Export high quality FLV and SWF files for Adobe® Flash® Player 8 and 9 from any QuickTime supported application to get broadcast quality On2 VP6 video.
Flix Exporter is a 'plug-in' compatible with any QuickTime supported application such as:
Desktop: Discreet Media Cleaner, Canopus Pro Coder (VP6 for Flash video only), Quicktime Pro, Adobe After Effects, Apple Final Cut, and Apple Compressor.
Server: Telestream FlipFactory, and Rhozet Carbon. "
http://www.on2.com/index.php?399
When you say, "With the recent QT update I had to go into preferences and check the enable flash." Are you referring to the QT preferences or the Flix Pro preferences? My version of Flix isn't standalone, only plugins placed in the QT folder. What's even more frustrating is that we're using the Flip4Mac plugin as well to export WMV and this is working just fine in all applications (QT, FCP, and Compressor). Flix only works in QT.

Flash Video Arrives in Adobe Acrobat 9

Adobe has released Acrobat 9. The newly released version now allows Flash Video contents, which makes it more powerful for business presentation.
Actually, the concept of using multimedia files in PDF documents is nothing new. In the previous versions of Acrobat, you are able to embed QuickTime video and other formats into a PDF file. But you need an external media player installed on your computer for playing the video. Now in Adobe Acrobat 9, video can be played within a PDF document with no need to have any media player installed. Thus makes it more convenience to share.
This is a challenging feature which will affect its surroundings. As we know, the similar program for business presentation, PowerPoint, now only supports video and SWF import. If you want to import an FLV file, you must convert the file to WMV, AVI, or MPEG, etc. which can be perfectly done with our product, Moyea FLV to Video Converter Pro 2.
The following passages are some notable features related to video import:
The powerful business version Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended provides more favorable features.
Deliver a compelling branded experience using PDF Portfolios
Create interactive, on-demand presentations with Adobe Presenter
Easily share video in PDF files
Share 3D designs and PDF maps
With Acrobat 9 Pro, you can insert FLV or H.264 video for direct playback in Adobe Acrobat® and Adobe Reader. New Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro even enhances Creative Suite 3.3 which is the indispensable toolkit for professional design and print production.
The Extended version provides even more powerful functions:
Easily adding audio, video, and quizzes to your PowerPoint slides and create rich, interactive presentations with Adobe Presenter (included)
Convert a variety of video formats to FLV for playback in PDF
Embed video in Microsoft Word or PowerPoint and convert to FLV in PDF
Convert 3D content to PDF for cross-platform sharing and collaboration
Combine multiple CAD formats in one assembly and save as PDF with Adobe 3D Reviewer (included)
Convert 2D and 3D designs from major CAD applications to PDF for use by extended teams without expensive CAD or viewer software
Create PDF maps by importing geospatial files that retain metadata and coordinates
In a word, Adobe 9 will totally change the communication and association of electronic files.

Flash video, Macs and Acrobat 9

So I can now "insert" Flash video into my PDFs that I create in Acro 9 Pro. I just can't "convert" other video file types to Flash in Acrobat unless I'm using Extended on a PC, right? But once I have the video as an FLV, I'm good?
Thanks!

David,
I am afraid computer Software industry-wide you will find that. And the funny thing about it, is that many applications, Including Acrobat, got their start on the Mac Platform. Because unlike the windows crowd, that unwilling to use a new product with a new ideas, The Mac crowd, was willing to experiment.
Acrobat originated on the Mac platform. Excel if you dig really deep in history got it start as the spreadsheet/database part of Appleworks for the Apple II. There are many others. Then once the PC crowd saw oh look at this thing that the Mac people are using, let's have it too. THen because the user base is larger, Mac R&D to keep up lagged because the money numbers isn't there.
So if your a new, Mac user be prepared to be frustrated, because of disparities. Until the Mac user base gains a a 50/50 shar will things change.

Embedding video in PDF, keeps says it cant convert and need Acrobat Pro Extended?

I have Acrobat Pro 9 and with using the tool to embed video which seems to convert to a flash format, it keeps coming back saying its unable to convert and that I would need Acrobat Pro Extended. I tried a handfull of different video types and every one that I chose gave me the same message. All it will seem to do is somehow link to the video whcih will use the viewer installed on that persons computer to run. It seems to give you the ability to convert video over but it doesnt let you for anything you choose, what am I doing wrong?
I have Acrobat Pro 9 Extended at work which I tried the same thing with and of course, that worked. Is the Extended part by any chance just a patch for Pro 9 or is it a totally different purchase?

"Add multimedia to PDFs" at Acrobat Pro's LiveDocs may help to clarify.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Professional/WS65B80E79-F165-44f0-BBCA-0F142A75869 6.html
Looks like the following general observations apply.
If the multmedia file(s) meet the identified requirements for Professional it is "in".
If the multimedia file(s) do not, then conversion is required - but conversion is only available in Pro Extended.
That you get a "need conversion" message, from Pro that would be indicative of an input that does not meet the specified requirements for direct use in Pro.
An alternative might be to try "Create Legacy ..."
Legacy multimedia will rely on the end-user having the appropriate player application installed.
fwiw - having an interest in multimedia & PDF you might find this helpful

How to embed a mp4 video into a pdf with acrobat pro XI?

I'm trying to embed a mp4 video into a pdf using Acrobat Pro XI. When I try to play the video, all I see is a black box. The video is H.264 codec. I've tried on a PC and Mac and get the same results.

Video playback in the Acrobat Family uses Flash Player, so if it works in FP (loaded via an HTML page) then it should work in your PDF. First suggestion is to use the free MediaInfo tool to check exactly what the internal structure reports as.

Why is acrobat pro XI does not open a video (Quick Time) using the interactive object tools ?

Hi
I have a Macbook pro using OS X 8.5.1.
I have just download acrobat pro XI.
When I try putting a video (Quick time) in a PDF document, the button is there, but when I clic to play, the document is close without notice.
Acrobat pro XI is suppose to read .mov file, so why it is not working ?
Thank's

Video in the Acrobat XI Family must be in H.264 or FLV format, as it's displayed using Flash Player.

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

Juggling Acrobat "slide time" that has Flash video on a page

I am trying to build a corporate slideshow from InDesign Mac over to Acrobat Pro 9.
Once I get inside Acrobat Pro 9 "fullscreen" mode, I want each slide to play 5 seconds. (So far no problem.)
But I have one page that has a properly placed Flash video in it -- a 30-second video.
How can I get Acrobat to hold on that page/slide until the Flash video completes.
So far, I can only get 5 seconds of the video, and then Acrobat rolls on to the next slide.
I have not been able to find any solution online. Anyone have an idea?
