Maintaining original video size when importing into Flash

Hi All,
We've imported a number of videos for a client in order to
stream them via Flash. The problem we are experiencing though is
that flash seems to stretch the video height. For example, here is
the video on Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7EWMzIXQg8
which is fine
and here is the video imported into flash:
http://www.geofframm.com/movie/frommetoyou.html
We've tried adjusting the height/width settings, but to no
avail.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Best wishes
Dave

I am using captivate 3 and I get an error whenever I try to
export to flash cs3. unknown error.
why the hell doesnt Adobe say that flash is required to
export to flash BEFORE I buy the software? I am using my pc for
captivate, but am primarily mac based and was going to edit in
flash on my mac. but captivate didnt allow for me to export to
flash at all without any kind of flash installed. I installed a
demo version of flash, but the export is coming up with an error.
any ideas out there? adobe??? I'm currently using vista OS.
thanks in advance. r

Captivate 3 is wrong size when importing into Flash CS3

I've tried exporting, publishing etc. and no matter how I
try, when I import into Flash CS3 the size of the Captivate content
(background screens, in particular) are too small. For example, I
captured a 423x424 area for my Captivate project. When I import
into a Flash CS3 project with the same dimensions the Captivate
content (screens) are more like 203x203.5 and the mouse path and
slide context starting positions are upper left corner. I've tried
adjusting some of the importing settings but can't get the screens
the right size unless I resize each one manually - and I have
around 100. Any help greatly appreciated!

AAC audio file increase in size when imported into DVD Studio Pro

Hello all!
I just encountered a very unique issue with the DVD Studio Pro. I used the compressor to export my video as an MPEG2 file and my audio as AAC file. After the compression my audio file had an .mpg4 extention and was about 160MB in size. When I imported it into my DVD Studio Pro project, however, the audio increased in size to 1.2 GB. I tried so many different compressions, but the problem really is (I think) that the file bumps up in size once imported into DVD SP project. Is there anything in preferences that I need to adjust or change? Please help!
Thank you.

Hi
I'm a little lost now with versions history, but if you have A.Pack in your App folder, then must use it. Check this tutorial: Encoding AC3 with A.Pack.
Compressor 2 and 3 has AC3 encoding inside the main application.

IMovie changes video size when importing its own exported projects

How can I control aspect ratio on imports - or simply get iMovie to import .mov files at their current and correct aspect ratio and size, as settings indicate? iMovie is messing with them.
I'm re-importing a lot of finished, exported iMovie files because a hard drive crash resulted in the loss of the original projects. As I'm doing this, I notice that these same Quicktime .mov files created by iMovie get squashed and stretched when imported as new events. Despite the fact that I'm using the setting "Full - Original Size."
When I import using the setting "Large - 960 x 540" the aspect ratio is correct, but the frames are reduced in size.
When I import the same videos by first putting them in iPhoto, and then accessing them through "iPhoto Videos" they are perfectly copied, with correct aspect ratio. But I don't want to have to keep taking this extra step.
Thank you!

stage6 files use DivX for encoding.. a HighQuality produced iMovie project could look as good as the stuff there.. allthough, many 'videos' I've seen there are NOT done with a 200$-cheapo-consumer cam.. you can teach Quicktime, and therefore iM to export with that codec... install divx-plug-ins..
to edit natively non-dv-streams, only alternatives are FCpro (=$$$$) or QTpro (=less convenient).. plus a few 'exotic' apps, as the free Mpeg Streamclip, which allows some 'raw' editing of mpegs etc. ...-
but..
if your input is from camcorders, the 'raw' footage is interlaced and low-res, compared to what you see normally on a computer's screen..
if your input is e.g. computer generated (CGI), use for export Apple Intermediate Codec, which is the HiDef codec of iMHD6 .. and probably, use a setting of a higher res, as 1080..
if your input is screengrabs, they don't match the TV-resolutions, iM offers, nor do they match the framerates...
so, what source, what delivery...?

How do I maintain adobe photoshop albums when importing into ipad photo albums

How do I maintain the adobe photoshop albums when importing them into the ipad photo library?

Do these albums on the iPad have the cloud icon next to them? If they do, they are albums that you have previously purchased from iTunes. You can remove them from the Music app by going to Settings>iTunes &App Store>Show All>Music>Off.

Why does my video skip when importing into iMovie?

I'm using a Canon HD video camcorder (HV20) to import my home videos into iMovie. After starting the import, the video being recorded in iMovie often "skips" (flickers on the computer screen / sound is also affected) yet the video playing on the camcorder plays without any issues. Can someone help?

You would get better results if you convert the MP4 ciips into Apple Intermediate Codec before editing. After editing you can render them back into MP4 if you want.
MPEG Streamclip (free) will do this conversion. Or get iMovie 09 and it will do it.

How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

iDVD does not care about file sizes, as it compresses the file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
It only cares about length i.e. max 2 hours including titles etc.
iDVD encoding settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

Swf's/flash,banners When Importing Into Dreamweaver Put Out Slices..

Hi guys/gals
I think im doing it wrong or missing something, even have a funny feeling i might have to use some css? Not really sure.
My problem is after i have saved my move,banner - when imported into dreamweaver it puts all the slices out of whack ?
I cant find anywhere to import it into my photoshop layout, can't "Bring to front" in dream weaver <- ? :/
I have searched everywhere and I can't find with my terms what im looking for..I figure if nothing is coming up then im going about this
the wrong way
Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Hi
Slicing images from a photoshop comp and then creating a web page from them is never a good idea, and will present many compatibility problems for you. A better alternative is to use css based layouts, this does not mean that you must forget what you have done in photoshop just that the procedure is probably slightly more complex for someone who has not used css layouts before,
A good place to start would be the css basics tutorial then the, using css starter pages tutorial from the tutorials shown on this page - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/css.html.
(the 2 tutorials mentioned are - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/table_to_css_pt1.html, and http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/table_to_css_pt2.html.
There is also a number of videos that may interest you at - http://tv.adobe.com/product/dreamweaver/.

IPhone 4 original video resized when sending MMS :-(

Hello,
I was just unhappily surprised upon finding out that the original HD video I shot of my baby was resized to a lower quality when I sent it via MMS. The lower quality video was later imported into iPhoto. Is there a way to prevent the automatic resizing of the original video? I couldn't find a switch for it in Settings.
Thanks,
Ira

For an HD video that is larger than the overall email message size limit to be sent and received via email, you can get a YouTube account if you don't already have one and upload the video to YouTube with your YouTube account in full size and resolution - which must be done when connected to an available wi-fi network for HD video. When the upload is finished, you can notify others via email that the video is available on YouTube to be viewed with a direct link to the video.
If you don't want the video available to the public, you can select Unlisted for the video so only those with the link can view it, or you can make the video Private so only specific YouTube users can view the video.
The overall message size limit for MMS is quite small, which was/is a poor man's way for cellular carriers and cell phone manufacturers to provide very limited email exchange with a cell phone - before there were any smart phones or way before phones in the smart phone category became mainstream, but SMS/MMS is a cash cow for cellular carriers which they make a fortune with.

How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro. I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done. Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

What happens to CC or Watermarks when imported into PrPro

HI all,
my question (s) are about information that is stored in the out of tv safety feilds when imported into Adobe premeir pro. files will be mpeg-2 video files SD and Hd
1) what happens to closed Captioning data (does it get moved or is it stripped)?
2) what happens to Nielsen watermarks on line 22 and 20?
Can anybody give me an understanding of this.
thank you much!!

Nothing happens to the music on your computer. Nothing will "combine" unless this other person actually downloads something to your computer. Simply logging into an iTunes account does not instigate any automatic downloads of anything.

Maximum file size for importing into Premiere Pro CS6

Hi,
I'm considering recording raw video, no compression at 720p, 30 fps for 20-30 min. This woudl result in a file that is close to 80 Gbytes. I'm wondering what the maximum file size for importing into premiere Pro is and if I need to split this file up into smaller pieces. Any recommendations on how I may deal with uncompressed raw video that is pretty long in length?
Thanks,
Serena

There is bound to be some limit somewhere in the program, but you should be well below that. The biggest issue might be whether your computer is up to the task of handling it. If you will post your computer specs., someone will give you comments on that aspect.
Good luck,

Help needed with Illustrator texture swatches imported into Flash

Hey, so I basically scanned a texture into illustrator and added it into the swatches. After drawing a character in illustrator I used the colour of the swatch I had added to colour in my character and by using the tilde button I could move the texture to see which speicifc part of the texture I wanted for certain parts.
Once I completed my character I imported him into Flash. Here is where the problem lies in, when I attempt to use the bone tool to animate him, as soon as I move a certain limb, the specific texture I had applied for that certain area causes the texture to move and make the area that I had coloured in using the swatches look different to what I initially imported into Flash.
This has been a huge problem I have been facing and haven't been able to find an answer anywhere, I would really appreciate if I could get some help with this. Thank you very much!
P.S. If i explained my situation poorly, just ask for an image and I will gladly post a few so everything's clearer and makes more sense.

Thumbnails do not match video content when imported

My thumbnails do not match video content when imported. They assume the look of the first video imported into an event, while showing correct source content when skimmed through. Also, audio for every video clip I import is changed to that of the first clip imported in an event. Very awful to realize only when you've just imported every video you've made. Any thoughts?
Also, my source for clips is an external OneTouch drive, don't know if that plays into the import problem.

Is your Event source list visible on the bottom left of your screen? You should see all your events there.
There is a button at the extreme lower left of the imovie window which allows you to show or hide the event list. Make sure that it is in show position, so you can navigate to your other events.

Swf increase size mystery publishing into Flash 8 and Flash CS4

Hello,
i discovered recently that a swf build with Flash 8 IDE, published for Flash Player 8 get a different size when published with Flash CS4 IDE.
You can reproduce that effect with all sort of swf.
I did a report for each publish (same .fla into Flash 8 IDE and Flash CS4 IDE)
The result was : all vector graphics, all fonts, all bitmaps, all actionscript code increased
From test.fla, i did one key frame with :
- a dynamic TextField with some simple chars in it = "Test Chars",
- a simple shape with brush tool
- and one movieclip with an ordinary circle

Does somebody knows something about this strange phenomen ?

Didn't look at the file size of the FLA, just the SWF as I didn't even necessarily resave the CS4 as CS6. No edits were made, I tried it with a simple open and publish just to make sure I wasn't doing anything to change the file and the resulting file was heavier (kb).
I looked through the size reports and saw that while image compression was better in the CS6 version, the fonts were all heavier than they were in the CS4 version and this put it over the 40kb limit.
