Need to pause Background music during .flv playback

Hello,
I have a project that has 2 .flv videos, and I need to pause the background music while the user is playing those videos- is there an advanced action that would let me do this? Any other ideas?
Thanks!

No worries.
I looked through the Cp4/5 system variables and I didn't see a way to manually set the background audio to 0%.
I don't know what else is going on in your slide so this may or may not give the effect you want, but can you mute the background audio in the slide properties and add the narration audio to an invisible object on the slide?

Need Help onsome background music of a video of iCloud

When Apple Introduced iphone4s on 5th,Oct , iCloud was launched as well..
I want to know the background music this video , which introduced iCloud
Here is the Link: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzEwMTQ2MzEy.html Begins at about 44:20 //Can't get access to YouTube in PRC,China..
I Like it very much~So I want to know the name of the background music~
Hope someone knows the name~
THANKS!!

Hi again!
The background music for the iCloud video was produced for the video, and doesn't exist anywhere else as an independent song.
Someone may have recreated it without the voice-over part somewhere on the internet (it's relatively easy to do with that material), but it's not something you'd be able to simply download from a service like iTunes.

Tinny-sounding music during slideshow playback on TV

I have created slide shows with special effects and music. The shows play back perfectly on my imac, laptop, and ipad. However, when I attempt to play the shows on my TV, some of the music sounds very tinny. What causes this, and how can I remedy the problem?

If you want the visualizer to play druing the music just trun it on... be sure to set the tv screen up as the screen to use for iTunes.

Background Music Needs Help.

Hello there, I have a animation with 20+ scenes and I need to apply background music in it. I have a the music file in my library and my music is placed on frame one until the last frames of the animation. But I need to change to another music file in the middle of the frames how should I do that? And my music can't play in SWF file when I set in stream but it'll play when I set it in 'Event' or 'Start', why is this happening? Need urgent help on this! Really appreciate with the help.....

it means there's no actionscript that will automatically execute when you instantiate that class. many times you want actionscript to execute. many times you do not.
this is one of those times you do not want or need actionsript to execute when you instantiate that class.
click the don't show again box and click ok.

How do you add background music to a DVD chapter menu in iDVD?

I just need to add background music to a DVD menu-the main menu
thanks

Just to cover the bases, did you check the audio slider bar to the lower right of the iDVD menu screen to make sure that the sound is turned up, or check the menu slider bar for audio in the Menu pane?
Is your song in aiff format?
Sometimespermissions and preferences can get corrupted. Whenever iDVD starts acting funny, a common maintenance procedure is to do the following: Delete preferences by closing iDVD and trashing the file com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User (the House icon)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair usingthe Utilities/Disk Utility App on your Mac. Open the Disk Utilities window and select the Mac hard drive icon at the top of the side pane at the left. Then click on the Repair Permissions button. When you have repaired permissions and deleted preferences, restart your computer and launch iDVD. iDVD will replace the .plist file that you deleted. Be sure also that you have sufficient free disk space on your hard drive for iDVD to function correctly. 25GB often is recommended by users of this forum. After doing all of the above, relaunch iDVD and see whether you still have the problem.

How to add a background music pause during video

If I have my video imported, and have added a song for the background music, how do I add a pause to the audio but keep the movie going. There is two pieces of audio, the song and the video audio. I want to pause the background music so that the video audio plays (someone is talking) and then the music comes back in after the talking is done.
Thanks a ton!

Have you looked at Document -> Add watermarks & background... ?
If you want to do it automatically, it's possible to set this up using the batch processing command, same thing, the command is "Add watermarks & background".
It's probably possible using JavaScript as well, but, there's really no need if the "add watermarks and background" works for you.

Stuttering flv playback issue- need help asap

We need help asap. Have a project is due to deliver today (5/14).
We have a video to go on a dvd-rom, live action with Motion Graphics behind.
When output is done thru Projector the Motion Graphics stutter as they scroll.
Here is more technical info:
Stuttering flv playback issue:
Prores 422 timeline 29.97fps 1280x720 output from fcp using current settings.
Mov file is approx 7gb, plays relatively smooth on a mac pro with no raid.
Frame by frame analysis shows all frames are present with no jumps tears or skips.
Tried several output paths, programs and settings to create a smooth flv file to no avail.
We adjusted data rates from 2k, 3.5k, 4k and 8k, no luck
We adjusted keyframe rates from low to all frames, no luck.
We tried cs3 flash encoder, cs5 media encoder, squeeze ect, same results.
Playback in the flash projector seems to choke slightly no matter what we do.
Have also posted in the Director Forum.
Any help much appreciated!

Here are a few ideas off the top of my head:
Try playing the file using a different xtra, sometimes different ones will work better. If you have Director 11.5, there is a native flv playback xtra.
You can build a player easily in Flash using the flvPlayback component, then bring that into Director as a swf.
Once you have the video in Director, try making the member Direct To Stage (DTS). If it is already DTS, try making it not DTS.
Make sure the video is not transparent, and nothing in Director overlaps the video... in fact, when the video is playing, nothing should be moving at all, and try to keep the amount of code that is running to a minimum.
Try lowering your video's data rate further or try using a different codec.
Using VBR (Variable Bit Rate) compression often makes the video appear to play smoother.
Try compressing the flv with different software. FFMpeg, for example, is free and does a very good job, often better than the Flash Video Encoder that comes with Flash/Creative Suite.

Music volume slider shows "speaker" setting during "earphone" playback

A volume setting is stored for playback through the iPhone's speaker, and another for when earphones are plugged in.
I have noticed since updating to iOS 5.1 that the volume slider in the Music app sometimes displays the "speaker" level during "earphone" playback when switching between the two modes.
Although the slider displays the incorrect volume level, the playback is at the earphone setting's volume, not the displayed volume.
N.B. I have an iPhone 3GS, and the performance of the Music app has degraded with each iOS update; this seems to be due to the core software growing more complex. It is possible that there is just a very long delay between loading the Music app, it recognising the earphones are plugged in, and the volume slider widget being updated accordingly. I will report back with more clarification after more observation.

*** UPDATE ***
THIS PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVED.
I thought it was purely a performance issue that was delaying the update of the volume slider. However, I've recently observed the slider displaying the speaker volume permanently with the headphones plugged in.
Locking and unlocking the screen caused the slider to refresh.
"Discussions" does not allow me to undo the "Solve" flag above. All I can do is state that this is an open issue here.

Auto/Hide with Flv playback doesn't work with javascript lightbox, need help?

Hi everyone,
i created some swf loading a flv file in a flv playback and
check on the auto/hide parameter. When i test the movie it works
very well. BUT, in my website, i put those swf files in Lightbox
(javascript computed) and when the mouse goes Over the flash video,
it shows the Skin player and when the mouse goes Out, the Skin
player stays over the video!? Why? Does someone has an idea on how
to force the auto/hide paramater in this case?
Thanks for your help
Orlenka

Found this post when searching for an answer, but didn't find much elsewhere so I'll post my quick and ugly solution here. I'm sure it can be vastly improved, but I didn't have much more than 5 minutes. Note - setting .visible to false just ended up causing the autohide transition to occur over and over, so instead I'm just temporarily moving the whole sprite offscreen.
(AS3, using CS5 component... note that 'player' is the FLVPlayback instance):
//### force 'autohide' when mouse inactive
var timer:Timer = new Timer(1500, 0);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
timer.start();
var skinSprite:DisplayObject;
var prevMouseX:Number;
var prevMouseY:Number;
function onTimer(e:TimerEvent):void {
//get skinSprite if we haven't already
if(!skinSprite) {
    var child:DisplayObject;
    for(var i:Number = 0; i < player.numChildren; i++) {
      child = player.getChildAt(i);
      if(i == 2) { //this is the skinSprite
        skinSprite = child;
//check to see if mouse hasn't moved since last timer event
if(skinSprite && mouseX == prevMouseX && mouseY == prevMouseY) {
    skinSprite.y = -1000;
prevMouseX = mouseX;
prevMouseY = mouseY;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, stage_onMouseMove);
function stage_onMouseMove(e:MouseEvent):void {
if(skinSprite) {
    skinSprite.y = 0;

CP 6.0.1.240, Background Music, & Slide Video

Hello All,
I have a CPTX project which is a marketing type piece. It introduces our new software features, has images, text background music and two slides in which I have inserted video. These videos were imported as:
MP4
Multi-Slide Synchronized Video
Video Type: Progressive Download
Modify Slide Duration to Accomodate Video
There is a moment right before the video starts in which there is a spinning arrow that appears as the video is loading and during that same time, the background music skips.
I would love to make the video play in a more seamless fashion and without user interaction. I would love to get rid of both the pre-loading pause and skip in the music but will settle for just getting rid of the skip in the music as that is a more obtrusive interruption for the user.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Julie

UPDATE: When I finally published the video to YouTube, the hiccup or pause on the background audio seems to have resolved. It was very evident in previewing the project and not noticeable once published to YouTube. I have a new issue now as it relates to pausing but not of the audio of the video itself. I will be posting a new thread for that.

Attaching the background music file to the clips

Hello! I'm not sure if I can do this with iMovie but I hope so!
I have made a video that consists of a large number of short clips and I have set it to music. What I want to do now is rearrange those clips but keep the music that is playing with each clip. So when the new video gets played the music will be all shuffled up.
For an example: let's say I have four clips in my movie and they are, in order, A, B, C and D. The music playing the background is "I'm a little teapot". During clip A the lyric "I'm a little teapot" plays. During clip B "short and stout" plays and during clip C "here is my handle" plays and in clip D "here is my spout". What I want to do is reorder those four clips so the movie plays them as B, D, C and A and keeps the music linked to each clip. So, when watching the new video, you hear "short and stout here is my spout here is my handle i'm a little teapot."
Is that possible? Can you link the background music to the individual clips in this way? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There are a couple of ways to do this.
1) In iMovie, drag the music clip from the media browser into the project and drop it on the first clip.
Adjust the rear handle so it only plays during the first clip. Then drag in the same music clip from the media browser to the second clip. Drag the front handle to the right so that it starts playing where the other one left off. Drag the back handle to the left until it only covers one clip. Repeat until done.
2) If you know the length of your clips, use Garageband to create a series of short audio clips that are the exact length you need for each clip. Then drag and drop on the iMovie clips.

IMovie only show background music after connecting to my external iMovie Mediathek, no video!!! desperat, i potentially lost a big project...

I work with an external iMovie-Mediathek so my big project don't mess up my macbook. I was working on a big project (45 min.) after the program crashed. Now, when I try to connect again to the external Mediathek, it will only show the background music I used, no video material at all... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But in the "events"-section, it looks normal with the preview just like always during the last couple of days... It even shows the size of the file with 146GB (which is correct), but still only the music is displayed (about 7 tracks).
I need urgent help. Same thing happened to the security-backup I make regularly...

Here's a picture of the iM window. 3 Projects available but only 2 desplayed? HOW I GET MY 3rd PROJECT BACK????

How do I reduce slideshow sound during video playback in iPhoto.

Hi all.
The quick slideshow in iPhoto 09 is fantastic! The combination of pictures and videos blending into each other works very well.
...with one exception. When showing a video with sound the selected background music for the slideshow still plays - at a reduced volume. This reduced backgroundvolume is often not reduced enough and it interfers and destroys the experience of the video clip. I would like to find an option for reducing the backgroundmusic even further or maybe mute it during the video playback. But as soon as next pictures are shown the backgroundmusic should return again.
A very technical solution eg changing / "hacking" iPhoto files would be fine also.
Best regds
Jesper

That can't be done. Send in a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
If you're saving the movie as a QT file for use elsewhere and have access to iMovie HD 6 you can do that very easy. Create the movie without added music, export to Quicktime, import into iMovie HD 6 and add the music tracks as desired.

You will have lots of control over the sound this way.

Plantronics Voyager 855 unable to lower volume during iPod playback

I wasn't sure if this should be in 3GS or music and video, so I figured I would pick one.
I have a 3GS 32gb running version 3.1. The problem I have is during iPod playback. My Voyager 855 locks the volume slider on the phone at half way. Using the volume control ON THE HEADSET, I can increase the volume and see the volume slider on the phone increase correspondingly up to the point that the music is very loud. But, when I try to turn the music down, again using the volume controls ON THE HEADSET, the slider on the phone will only go down to the halfway point. I can continue to click the volume down button ON THE HEADSET and the button will beep along with a split second decrease in volume but as soon as the button is released the volume has not changed-it remains at the halfway point. I have this problem with watching youtube videos, everything, EXCEPT for on the rainfall app that I have. I can increase/decrease the volume all the way up or down to the point that I can no longer hear the rain or until it is so loud it hurts my ears. This is very frustrating as I would really like to use this headset while reading and for sleeping, but the iPod function is just too loud. My friend has a 3G 8gb with the exact same headset and he does not have this problem. Is this a feature/limitation of the 3GS?

Yeah, ha ha, that is my post to Plantronics and their reply to me. I tried what you suggested and no go:
Un pairing, rebooting, and re pairing did not result in a fix. I still have the same problem. I tried it on my wifes phone-hers is running 3.1.3, and no-go, it had the same problem.
The volume slider works when the music is not outputed through the headset. When through the iPhone speaker, it works as it should-the volume is able to be adjusted up and down via the slider. Videos behave as they should, any program that needs to be adjusted via the volume slider or the rocker button on the side of the phone works as it should. To expand on what I stated eariler: while using the iPod function I can set the slider all the way to the left (volume 0), press the option for output and set it to the headset. When I do that, there is a split second where you can see the slider move from the left to the middle, and then the slider disappears. It's almost as though the headset is resetting the default/baseline sound level from 0 to 50 (if we are working on a 0-100 scale). I can increase the volume using the buttons on the headset, and I can lower the volume only to half way. If I then select the option for sound output and change it back to speaker, the slider reappears, and it is all the way to the left where I originally set it. This is very frustrating. I can understand Plantronics response. but they are wrong. I can control the loudness of music via the iPod application. I guess maybe this is just a hiccup I will have to deal with. I have placed a request to Apple that they fix this. Maybe in the next upgrade they will, or at least add an option where you can adjust it in the settings.

Captivate Background Music

I loop background music in my movies. I am discovering that
not all users can concentrate with music playing in the background,
while others can. Is there a way to allow a user to turn the music
off during the movie?

Hi 928GT and welcome to our community
If you are using one of the Flash based playback controls
supplied with Captivate 2 or 3, there should be a Mute button
already on the control.
If you aren't using a Playback Control, you are probably
interested in a widget developed by fellow Adobe Community Expert
Paul Dewhurst.
