Merging live footage with a flash interface

Hi
I need to take a live webcam stream from a local computer and feed that into a flash app as a background of an interface I build in flash. eg: the webcam stream is of a room with various static objects in it, I want to create buttons over those objects that play a audio clip when they are clicked. The video and interface needs to be full screen which is why I think it needs to be output as a self contained app (or does it?). Is this possible in Flash or is there another option I can look at.
Thanks

Is this all happening on the same system? As long as the SWF containing the interface is located on the same system as the webcam, you can just follow the simple webcam sample in the Camera class to read the webcam:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/media/Camera.html #includeExamplesSummary
I've done that several times with kiosks. I put cameras on the opposite side of the screen so you can (lacking parralax) 'see through' the screen by displaying what's behind the screen, on the screen, from a webcam.
If you want to read a webcam from an alternate network, that's entirely different. More software will be needed (flash media server, openbroadcaster, xsplit, etc) and proper configuration of a firewall and server are necessary along with policy files.

  • How can I merge chromokey footage with another project?

    I have a project that I'm working on and want to go back in and place some green screen footage into the original project. What do I have to do to be able to use and edit the green screen footage and place it into the original footage?

    In FCPX? Just place the green screen footage over the storyline (as a connected clip) and apply the Keyer effect to the green screen footage (if the green screen is really good, you probably won't even have to make any adjustments to the keyer). You can also use the Transform parameters in the Video inspector to adjust size, positioning and orientation of the overlaid footage to fit into the storyline original.

  • I'm looking for a capture device that is compatible with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder. I bought elgato but it is not compatible. Anyone know?

    I'm looking for a capture device that is compatible with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder. I bought elgato but it is not compatible. Anyone know?

    This is just a shot in the dark....
    Do you have all your devices hooked up (and on) when you launch FMLE?  For example -- your camera or digitizer?  When FMLE launches it will try to launch with the last known settings... including input devices.  If it can't find these devices (they're not hooked up and on) it can crash, although in most situations it will simply show a default screen with default settings.
    If you do have your equipment hooked up (and on) when you launch FMLE, try unplugging them and then launching FMLE so that it opens up in default configuration mode (no input devices selected; all default settings).  Then uncheck the "preview" boxes for both your input and output preview windows.  Close FMLE and then plug in your equipment (and turn it on) and relaunch FMLE.  I offer this suggestion as FMLE can sometimes act funny when the preview windows are open with certain types of input devices.  Don't worry -- you don't have to keep the preview windows off forever.  If you can get FMLE to successfully launch with the preview windows off, then you can set your settings however you like and save the profile.  Then quit and relaunch FMLE and then turn the preview windows back on and see if it works.  If it does, great.  Just be aware that making any settings changes while the preview windows are open could result in FMLE crashing.   Again -- this only happens with some capture devices, such as certain Dazzle capture boxes.
    If none of this works, you could always try to upgrade to FMLE 3.2 and see if that solves your problem.

  • Can a Panasonic HD Camera be used with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2

    Can a Panasonic HD Camera be used with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2 instead of my Laptop webcam.

    yes it can but you need an in/out device to "link" the HDMI output from your HD camera to your computer via, USB or firewire

  • Flash player mess up with the browser interface when using aero

    when i visit the youtube and some other video websites and scroll the pages, the flash player would just mess up with the firefox interface. And i'm pretty sure that has something to do with the aero transparent effects. Does anyone has the same problem?

    You can try to disable Direct2D and layers.

  • How can I do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder which does not have firewire out/input? it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite RCA output?

    I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
    I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
    Thanx

    I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera...  is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...

  • Can I use a USB camera to import directly live footage into imovie as opposed to firewire?

    Hi!
    I use iMovie to directly import live footage from my camcorder.
    I've been using old Mini DV cameras to do this but this technology is being outdated with camera manufacturers now all moving to USB.
    Can I use a USB camera to take live footage directly into iMovie just the same was as i've been doing with the firewire connection via the old Mini DV camcorders.
    Alternatively, are there any firewire camera's that any could reccomend?
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Chris.

    No, you cannot import in real time from USB. These USB camcorders will import faster than real time or slower than real time, depending on the speed of your computer.
    If you need to import in real time, there are some USB webcams out there that are used mainly for video chats and the like that might work. You may find an HD model.You can also do this with your built in iSight camera.
    With a real HD video camcorder, you will need to import it after you shoot.

    I am not sure what's happening with IE9 (no live site) but I had real problems viewing your code in Live View - until I removed the HTML comment marked below. Basically your site was viewable in Design View but as soon a I hit Live view, it disappeared - much like IE9. See if removing the comment solves your issue.

    Somewhere above your tag, you will have a line similar to this - Also in your tag the swf file -
    These are the files that I said may be wrong or missing.
    However if you just edit the flash generated page and include the items you
    require in this, and maintain the same file position, you should have no
    problems,

  • What do broadcasters use to bring live footage into/through PrPro?

    In another thread, the question of how to import "live" shooting from a vid-cam came up, and the standard answer is ... only by firewire will PrPro capture directly off a video camera.
    But ... I know it's used in work where broadcasters in real-time bring live footage into PrPro, apply effects, and output ... so, what sort of connections does that process use?
    neil

    Standard method is to use an EVS XS or XT hard disc recorder to capture and EVS software to transfer that media to shared editing storage if you need instant access. This is typically as MXF for avid or as QuickTime reference files pointing at the growing media for FCP. I think with PPro it can be either.
    PPro also has a neat extension 'IPLink' that can browse the EVS media direct.
    The EVS route is not cheap however but it is reliably used all over the world. Alternative solutions are available using Quantel, DVS Venice, Avid Airspeeds, Sienna PictureReady, BBC Ingex etc...
    Editing the Tour de France on Final Cut Pro X - details another solution that could work for PPro.

  • Live sites with Discoverer Viewer

    Is there a list of sites available in the Internet with Discoverer Viewer working ? I would like to see some real live experiences with Viewer.
    thanks,

    Hi Simon
    That's really cool, although it is Discoverer 9.0.4, not 10.1.2.
    For anyone who is interested, Oracle made a lot of changes between the 9.0.4 Viewer and the 10.1.2 Viewer, not least being the ability to send a report via email, to save a report, to pivot the data and to handle fine grained printing using PDF. You can also set up a corporate look and feel for 10.1.2 Viewer using the OEM interface.
    With regards to the take up of Discoverer Viewer, most companies I work with are using it in a ratio of between 70:30 and 90:10 Viewer versus Plus.
    Its a great tool for doing exactly what it says - viewing a report.
    Best wishes
