Manipulating FLVplayback with the timeline?

Hi, I have run into a roadblock.
Here's the situation: I am using the FLVplayback Component as
an intro to my site. The component is sitting on frame 1 of my
timeline. Also sitting on frame one is a button that sends the
playhead to frame 2 when clicked. Even though the FLVplayback only
resides on frame 1, it continues to play after the button is
clicked.
How do I set this up so that when I click the button and send
the playhead to frame 2, the FLV playback stops?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me :)

Do you still want the FLVPlayback to exist in frame 2?
If not then just make sure its on its on layer in the
timeline and put a blank keyframe in that layer's frame 2.
If you want it to stop or pause play... and if it was called
my_FLVPlybk in the property panel then you could follow
these instructions...(Flash 8)
Pause:

Stop:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/00003617.html#wp3725931
Just put the stop or pause command alongside the button code
that moves the playhead to frame 2

ODD issue with the "timeline" getting moved over

notice the left side of the timeline how its been moved from the left side of the full interface window. even if i close the projects tab on the left the timeline "still" does not default to the very left side. what happened is i was pulling a clip away from the far left and i actually pulled the timeline instead. ive thrown away preferences and set as best back to any defaults i could find but nothing fixes this oddity.
also, it has nothing to do with the scrolling bars!
i ended up just throwing away the whole app and am now downloading the full program again. has to be a bug?

something is different still i think? zero meaning the beginning is just zero. in your example you have an audio clip laying further to the left than where your 00:00 actually is. how is it that you can get a piece of your audio to cross over that point and butt up to the side of project panel? my clips only go to the edge of that opening, not in it?
id swear it wasnt there until i notice i pulled it over. maybe im dreaming.
david
EDIT: yep, i must be on drugs or something because its there on some tutorials ive been watching. never noticed before until i did something then there was the illusion that i made that space. id still like to know though how you got your file to lay to the left of zero. thanks for your help!

Looking for some help with the Timeline from SIMILE

Remember this widget... An interesting widget for displaying timelines
Well I am trying to use is and have now got it working. I what to have a hyperlink to the page in my application that is the detail of the pice of the row in the timeline.
Any ideas.
Edited by: Chris Wendell on Nov 17, 2008 4:41 PM

I got a link to a 2nd Apex page working some time back. I included my link by appending something like this to the main chunk of text:
-- 2nd page is "2"
htf.escape_sc('<BR><A HREF="f?p='||v('APP_ID')||':2:'||v('SESSION')||'::'||v('DEBUG')||'::P2_ID:'||id||':" target="_blank">Edit</A>')
I think you could just use the documented "link" attribute though ( htp.p('link="' ||' http://www.yahoo.co.uk"'); )
The final step I needed was to close the pop-up edit form after submit. Solution also came from this forum. On the page #2, Optional URL Redirect > URL > URL Target "javascript:{doSubmit('SAVE');window.opener.location.reload();window.close();}"
Also - the 2nd page has an unconditional branch back to the main timeline page, so it refreshes after submitting the detail page.

Problem with the timeline

Hi. I have a problem when I add a Clip in the Timeline; i have to renderize the video always. Is this action obligatory or are some option to make this action automatically????

La clave debe estar como dice Jerry en el setup que has utilizado al iniciar el projecto. Si tu cámara es PAL debes ir al menú FinalCutPro>EasySetup y seleccionar el setup DV PAL ó DV NTSC si la cámara es NTSC.
Las secuencias YA generadas anteriormente al cambio de setup NO cambiarán su configuración. Debes crear una nueva secuencia, y volver a colocar el clip dentro.
Si quieres puedes también editar las propiedades de la secuencia existente, para cambiar el tipo de DV PAL o NTSC, pero siempre debes modificar el setup del proyecto, para que todas las nuevas secuencias sean del formato correcto.
Buena suerte !

Insert Editing, Why Won't Clips Appear In The Timeline?

Every time I attempt an insert edit, either via the "downward arrow" symbol or via "W" on the keyboard the clip appears in a secondary time/storyline below the Timeline, with a blank space in the main Timeline of exactly the same duration as the clip.
Similarly if I drag a clip from one part of the Timeline to another the clip appears below the Timeline with a corresponding blank space.
I do not want a secondary, or indeed tertiary storyline, I want all my clips to appear on the Timeline. I am not bothered about the length of the project or if I alter the length during the editing process.
Suggestions will be appreciated,
Ron

Couldn't manage that Tom, my hands aren't big enough BUT I have since discovered that what I thought was the Timeline is in fact a secondary storyline, with the Timeline, dark grey, below it. If I insert edit the clip appears correctly on on the Timeline with the two adjacent clips above on the Secondary line.
I have no idea how this happened. I started off my edit by by using the "append" arrow but the clips appeared and lined up together on this Secondary storyline.
A very laborious task in dragging each clip off the Second line and onto the Timeline. Nearly an hours worth of short clips!
I am about to start another project so will want to be certain to get all onto the Timeline. Perhaps my settings were wrong or I've inadvertently pressed the wrong key. Ron

Gaps between clips on the timeline

I wonder if there is a way to gain control of moving clips on the timeline. If I grab a video clip on the timeline and drag it left, it bumps the adjacent clip and moves it left. If I haven't let go of the mouse and move the held clip back towards the right, the clip I bumped doesn't go back to its original position. If I leave the held clip where I dropped it, there is now a gap, which looks bad and can mess with the playback in iMovie.
I would like a way to drag clips so that they butted up to the adjacent clip without moving it. I would also like a way to remove any gaps in one fell swoop.
I am relatively new to the app: but to remove a gap, the only (lame) way I can see to fix it is to manually move each clip to the right of the gap. But because the clips that I would bump can move, that screws up everything. There must be a better way.
thanks,
Jim

Catspaw's solution is a good way to remove all the gaps. Note that to see the gaps represented as "Black" clips (instead of gaps) you must view the Timeline in Clips mode. Click on the little rectangle icon above the left end of the Timeline.
Gaps disappear as you describe when you've previously added a gap by dragging a clip to the right. Creating that gap was probably a mistake, so losing it isn't usually a problem. If the gap appeared when you moved a clip right, the Edit > Undo Move command lets you undo that move.
If you created the gap intentionally -- to serve as a placeholder for a clip you want to add later -- you can make it "permanent" by changing its color from black to some other color. (With the timeline in Clip mode, double-click on the "Black" clip to change its color.) Now the gap won't disappear as you drag clips towards it.
All dragging functions are made easier by turning on these two features in iMovie preferences: 1) Snap to items in Timeline and 2) Play sound effects when snapping. When you drag a clip it's a lot more likely to land where you want it.

Adjust effects in the timeline

Hi all, thanks in advance for your answers to this...
I still can't figure out how to adjust effect parameters of a clip in the timeline... It seems like sometimes when I right click (w mighty mouse) on a clip in the timeline, instead of pulling up the paste attributes, etc menu, it pulls up a smaller one that lists only the effects on that certain clip.
Of course, in crunch deadline situations (which more and more these days seems like every second of my edit day) this would save oodles of time since I wouldn't have to open the clip in the browser and navigate through the effects menu to make a simple adjustment. Usually I will put standard color correction effects on clips and know exactly what to adjust, so this shortcut could potentially save me days of time (bwahahaha!) so I can maybe finish at 6 or 630 instead of 8 or 830 every night.
Thanks, I appreciate you all making my life more diverse through enlightening me to this shortcut.

OK, I think I've found what you want...kinda, sorta...
FCP5 manual Vol. III, pg. 286, discusses "Working with the Timeline Keyframe Editor"
First, you have to already have keyframes placed. Next, activate the 'Clip Keyframes' toggle (bottom left of the timeline), then contol-click (right-click) on the same Clip Keyframes toggle/control and choose Video or Audio or Select All for both.
Now you right-click in the keyframe editor area beneath the clip you want to work on and choose the filter or motion parameter you want to display.
At this point you can drag individual keyframes up/down, back/forth with numeric representation of your parameter...but it doesn't give you a way to 'type in' a parameter that I can see.
Hope that helps,
K

Not happy with moving around keys on the timeline

I just changed from Final Cut to Premiere CS5.0 and I really like it. Working on a Macbook Pro i5 2.3GHZ, Mac OSX 10.7 But I am not happy with moving around on the timeline. I was used to using the up and down arrows to move to next video edit point, marker point or audio edit point. I tried everything to change it, highlighted the track etc. It only works together with the FN key, which is a bit uncomfortable. And then it definetely is not going to any audio edit points (very annoying!!!) and marker points (have to use Q and W keys). It makes me doubting if continuing with Premiere or not. Its such an esencial and easy to use tool while editing in a normal fast editing rythm. When I change it in the customize keyboard menu, into a Custom keyboard or FCP keyboard, it would ignore my changes on the arrowkeys, although it recognizes any other changes I do. Is it so complicate to change this issue in Premiere to how it is set in FCP? Its such an obvious tool, using the arow keys to move around, cannot beleive that we have to live with such a limitation. Please!!!

You dont have to live with that at all if you are fixed only to what you have previously done.
It makes me doubting if continuing with Premiere or not.
There ya go!

Greetings, I am working in Final Cut Pro 7. In the timeline some clips show as offline. I tried going to sequence and reconnecting to media but it does not work. I can still see the video in the timeline and work with it. It just has the red box.

If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.

Hi, After I try to load either an existing or new project in Adobe Premier Elements 9 I just get a blank grey screen with none of the timeline, etc. boxes on view. This has suddenly happened, one day OK next not! At the top of the screen I get the normal Pre icon, File, Edit, Clip, etc.
I am planning on purchasing Premier Elements 13, would it be better if I bought a new program rather than download an upgrade, just in case the upgrade doesn't load properly due to the error with my existing program?
If I the deleted Premier Elements 9 on my PC would I lose all my existing videos that were produced using Premier Elements 9 or would they be saved so that they can still be worked on in Premier Elements 13?
Does Premier Elements 13 work with Windows 7?
Thanks
Terry

Premiere Elements 13 absolutely works with Windows 7!
In fact, I'd highly recommend you download the free trial and give it a test run.
Meantime, go to Windows Update and make sure you have all of the latest Windows updates, including those that don't install automatically. Then go to the nVidia or ATI site and ensure you have the latest driver for your graphics card, and go to Apple.com and ensure you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements.

Is there a way to use/fix FLVPlayback skins provided with the product?

Some of the "skins" for the FLVPlayback component cannot be used as delivered in the Flash Professional CS5 package.
For instance, if you try simply to run the .swf file: MinimaSilverPlayBackSeekCounterVolMuteFull.swf in Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Flash CS5/Common/Configuration/FLVPlayback skins/ActionScript 3.0, you get the following error message:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class fl.video::UIManager could not be found.
Such a skin cannot be used in a published application (though it will work within the Flash IDE in Test mode).
Not all the skins have this problem. However, at least all of the Minima prefixed ones do. Of course the one I wish to use is broken. Is there a way I can fix this? If I try to publish the corresponding .fla (in FLVPlayback skins/FLA/Action Script 3.0 I get "Warning: unable to load SWC FLVPlaybackAS2.swc".

Well I don't really understand the position you are taking here. Did you try to run the examples I gave?
I will be a sport, though, and back up here and explain more fully.
I had originally built a rather trivial application to experiment with the FLVPlayback component. I did this with AS-3, by the way.
As I tried different skins I found, strangely, that when I used one of the Minima ones (for instance, the one that I listed several times above), that it would run fine in the IDE in test mode, however when I ran the published application it would not run correctly. It generated instead this error message about the fl.video class not being found.
In trying to determine the cause of this, I found that this same error would be generated, just by trying to run the Minima skin (swf) in the Flash player by itself. And sure enough those skins that did NOT have the problem with my trivial app also did not generate any error when the swf was run in the Flash player.
So, as you hopefully can see, I took my application out of the equation here. The question of interest is why do some of the unmodified swf skin files generate the class not found error and can they be fixed (or is there anything I can do to fix them) so that error does not happen. I had even tried to use the original FLA file for the skin (as I described in my earlier post) and recompile it. However that caused a compile error (listed in the original post) that is indicative of some AS2 being mixed in, possibly from some sub-component.
So I guess all I was hoping for was that you would try to run the AS3 Minima...swf skin listed earlier straight from the product installation. Just run it with the Flash player. If it doesn't generate the error for you then perhaps there is something odd about my CS5 installation, or environment, or ...
If you don't want to try this, that is your perogative. Perhaps someone else can/will. Or perhaps I can submit this as a bug? (I do not know the mechanism for that)
I am not trying to be argumentative here. Rather, I have tried to isolate the issue. I don't know how else I can make this clear.

Expanding Clips on the Timeline - Help with new problem please.... (pic)

See pic below --- Never had this problem before. Any clip that is in my ongoing project won't expand more tha 1 second when trying to drag... what did i do wrong? It's doing this now in other projects as well....
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/pengh/sdhsrjhj.jpg

Thanks ^ but I must not be explaining myself very well...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/pengh/sdhsrjhj.jpg
Clifs:
* Any clip that is in my ongoing project won't expand more than 1 second when trying to expand/trim (using selection tool (V) making sure none other tracks are selected).
* I was able to trim/expand these clips before Wednesday (2 days ago).
* Only happens on other version of THIS project (previous saved/copy versions) -- all sequences, all clips.
* Thinking that this has something to do with the track selector tool. In my project, I was cutting/editing sections out (around 1:00 min in sizes) from the timeline and then using the track selector tool (A) to move the entire project (the clips that are in front of the section cut) back in place (1+ hours of edited clips). I did this at least 20 times - in 20 different areas of the timline (successfully) until the proble occured. Leading me to believe it has something to do with that.
Just throwing it out there that I know how to go back and forth between (A) and (V) and that I've been using premiere for 9 years (since 6.0) and I know most of the ins and outs.
Thanks for the help i apprecieate it.

Hi Russ, Thank you for your reply!
System Spec:
2x2.26 Ghz QUAD-CORE
12 GB RAM 1066 MHz DDR3
I've stored the library in HARD DISK which is installed inside my computer (1 TB capacity) and different from my hard disk in which I've installed all my applications (600 GB capacity).
I've installed FCP since 2001, bought FCP X in 2012: never had a problem. Yesterday I was editing my video of my last vacations (in California!) and I have updated FCP X, downloading FCP X 10.1.1: then the problem!
Strange is the fact that I've just tried to export a short project, I can see the final product quite well.
What is impossible is playing the clips within Final Cut: they are jumpimg, moving, presenting some frame in green or red ...
Everything all right in iMovie.
I've just checked the RAM: 9GB out of 12 GB is busy, could this be the problem?
Motion is very slow: for 20 sec of project, it takes minutes to play. And once again, if you finalize the projet and export it in Quicktime, you can see it correctly.
I do hope you may suggest something, I'm getting crazy!
Thank you in adavance

FCP7 HELP - Exported quicktime mov plays differently than what I edited on the timeline. The playback shows the clips with ins and outs that are different than what I set in the clips when I edited - some are too early and the clips don't playback

Please help ASAP.
Specs: IOS 10.6.8
Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 -- Everything is edited, sourced, and stored on an 2TB external hard drive to make things go faster.
Editing with FCP 7
When I export the sequence I edited with quicktime, the playback video is very different from what I edited on the timeline. The playback has the clips with ins and outs that are way off than what I cut, and some of the clips don't show at all or have changed transitions. However when I play in the timeline in FCP, the sequence is fine, just the way I cut it.
The source of the clips was one long .mov that I cut into clips for the timeline. Everything has gone smoothly but the exported .mov is just so different.
How can I get the time codes of the clips to be the same in the exported .movs? I just want the quicktime .mov to represent my edit exactly.
This video is due tomorrow - if the solution is too time consuming, can I play within the FCP player window and Log and Capture?
Thanks,
MV

What is your source material? Is it H.264? FCP does not work correctly with that material.
Click on a source clip in the FCP Browser, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties, or take a screen shot of the item properties, and post that here.
Next, click anywhere in your timeline, and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those Sequence Settings, or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings and post that here.

AS3 - 1) Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place; 2) Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true - ActionScript 3 - flash cs3 cs4

Hi folks,
Ronny's here again on forums, having particularly 2 (two) questions/problems to resolve:
1) Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place
2) Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true
attached is the .zip file (as3_Countdown Timer_ver 1.0.1_by Ronny Depp.zip) with all flash source files containing:
a) The FLash Source (file: timer_module.fla) - (FLA flash source file - Flash CS3 Professional, Flash Player 9, actionscript 3.0)
b) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement package including 2 .as actionscript 3.0 Class files.
       i) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement.DateAndTimeManager Class in the said package. (file: DateAndTimeManager.as)
       ii) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement.CountdownTimer Class in the package. (file: CountdownTimer.as)
c) The compiled SWF file version of this Application's blueprint. (file: timer_module.swf).
What i need to confirm is: ........................................................ see the next post of mine. (for Problems need to be Resolved)

Problems to Resolve:
Problem#1) - Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place.
Problem#2) - Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true;
Problem#1 Description:
I need to pinpoint the Logical TimeSync Exception, i am still unable to figure out. That is I'm using a webservice in my Application to Synchronize the Time with the actual ET (eastern time) with accomodation of auto-adjustment for EDT GMT-4 (eastern daylight time) & EST GMT-5 (eastern standard time), times. I am using the zipcode: "10012" to pass it to the Web Service in urlRequest object, to retrieve the Current ET eastern time according to EDT & EST time settings for Manhattan/Brooklyn areas or others within New York, NY 10012.
Currently the Web Service is returning accurate date/time based on local EDT GMT-4 daylight time.
Is there some defined set of dates for EDT & EST times for New York region that I can check for to ensure the correct Dates/Times for Eastern Time in New York area ??? I am using NY zipcodes because i am sure to get correct ET values.
The Major Problem Part: is I need to correct the time by 2 seconds or approx. 2 secs, some millisecs.
When I retrieve the Time Value from WebService, it lags behind for 2 seconds as compared to DateObj i create using computer's local time, on my Windows XP Service Pack 2 with Automatic Updates turned-on. And I'm sure about my Windows will be having latest updates for Time Management already installed. I also added the 2 secs. to the TimeSync(ed) Date to make correction to this Date obj.
I call my custom fucntion addSeconds(dateObj:Date, secs:int) to add 2 seconds to the Date by Converting Seconds to Milliseconds.
Please comb through the as code in files attached and Help Me Out !!!
Problem#2 Description:
Secondly I need to Detect the End of Stream state while using FLVPlayback component, an rtmp:// live Stream from FLASH MEDIA SERVER.
I need to Play a YuMe Post-Roll Ad when Steam Finishes/Ends.
Live Broadcast Stream Event starts every night on Wednesdays & Saturdays exactly at 10:59 PM EDT GMT-4.
Live Events only Streams/Broadcasts the stream for 50secs. exactly. When [playback stopped] it plays a PostRoll Ad and after the CountdownTimer again comes back to life. The Next upcoming Event is calculated & the Countdown begins until Next Event's time/date is reached.
Here is the code on the frame 1 on the MainTimeline: (rest of the params like source, volume, skinAutoHide are Set using Property Inspector for FLVPlayback instance on Stage)
//myStream instance of FLVPlayback is on the Stage
myStream.isLive = true;// Frame 1 Actions in the FLA
myStream.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, onEndOfStream);
myStream.addEventListener(VideoEvent.STATE_CHANGE, onState);
myStream.addEventListener(String(VideoError.NO_CONNECTION), onStreamError);
myStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
/*if(myStream.stopped){
     trace("tracy: "+myStream.state);
