No image when embedding a video/movie into my PDF file,just a black screen?

I cannot embed videos with an image on my computer into my Acrobat Pro 8 file. I get only a black screen, which I must click on to play the video. How do I import the visual image along with an arrow for playing or a navigation bar at the bottom for play/pause?

If you're creating video content in Acrobat 8 then it's "legacy media", which has a different structure to the Rich Media Annotations created by Acrobat 9 and later. RMAs use Flash Player and there are inbuilt choices for the play control buttons when you create a new annotation, but legacy media hands over control of the video rendering to whatever external application it can find installed on your computer, so what you see will vary.
The poster frame for a video can be controlled when the annotation is created - either sampled from the video or selected manually from an image file.

  • Embedding extended XMP metadata into a PDF file

    Hello.
    I am preparing a thesis for submission into our library repository. They keep some additional information about the paper in a separate XML file which looks like: http://naca.central.cranfield.ac.uk/ethos-oai/2.0/uketd.xml
    The metadata can be then easily harvested by other libraries etc.
    Because the papers are downloadable and can freely circulate over the Internet I would like to also include the metadata into the PDF itself.
    I've managed to extend the PDFX (MiKTeX) package such that it writes custom metadata in addition to the default fields (Author, Title, Subject, Keywords) into the PDF.
    The problem is that the library metadata (see above) makes use of XSI schema which is apparently not compatible with RDF format of XMP.
    Is there a way to get such rich metadata sets into a PDF file in a portable and accessible (thinking about search engines) way or should I stick with plain Simple Dublin Core?
    Thanks for recommendations.

  • When I hit video app on my ipad I get a black screen

    I've purchased some children's 'TV series' cartoons for my iPad 2 which were fine to begin with, but now I just get a black screen when I press the 'video' app and cannot play anything. The videos will play if I go into them through the Itunes Store App, hit 'purchased', TV Series and then the play button, but not otherwise. The videos I've made in picture gallery play fine, it's just that I can't access anything through the App.

    Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I have a quicktime movie on a hard drive, and I have the hard drive plugged into my macbook, and the quicktime movie is not opening, its just a black screen. How do I convert it to the right file so I can watch it ?

    I have quicktime movie files on a hard drive, and normally when I plug the hard drive into my computer, I can open the quicktime files and watch them. Now when I am doing it, the quicktime movies are opening up with a black screen. How do i convert it to be in the right format to be able to watch ?

    I plugged my old drive into an identical Vostro and saved my bookmarks per the instructions. Later, when I check the file, it was in html format. While waiting for the replacement laptop to arrive, I put my old (Vostro) hard drive into a case so I could access the files. I have been able to launch web pages from the file bt accessing them through My Documents so I know the file is good. The problem is, I apparently need to convert them into a JSON file in order to use them. There is a set of instructions on the Mozilla/Firefox website but that method does not work.

  • Can I set a static frame (jpg or png) image as a poster image when embedding flash video into a dreamweaver page?

    hello everybody - my subject line pretty much says it all...
    i'm looking to have my users see a single static frame (a
    poster image) that they can then click on to start playing a video.
    how do i set this in either flash or dreamweaver?
    anybody have any info?
    much appreciated!

    Will the video appear in place of the image clicked on? Or
    will it be in a
    separate window?

  • I have a Mac Air.  When I go to view any video online (youtube for example)and click on a video, I get the space where the video should play but there is just a black screen and no play button and the video does not start.  Any ideas?

    I have a Mac Air. When I go to view  video online (youtube for example), the screen for the video comes up with a black square space where the video should play.  But there is no pay button and the vidoe never starts playing.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Shockwave and Flash are not the same. Try installing a Flash plug-in. Here's the latest: Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.183

  • I can't import images when I have video on the same card.

    I can't import images when I have video on the same card. I am using Lightroom 5.6 and OS 10.9.4 I found a work around, but was wondering if there is something that fixes that issue.

    Thanks.  The carrier is Verizon.  My new phone has a Verizon Sim card.  I can't find any evidence of that on the old one.

    Make sure all of the videos used in the project that is having that problem are from the same event. If they are from multiple events, move them all into one event.

  • All of a sudden no videos (movies) just a black screen

    Greeting!
    I'm not a happy camper right now. One day Tuesday my iPod was working fine and the next all I get is a black screen when I play videos (movie and music videos).
    I've been through the cycle of resetting the iPod a few times. I've gone into diagnostic mode and it passes every time!
    I have not added anything since July 17th. So I don't know what's up! I did find this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2463229&tstart=0 were people are making the same complaints.
    IDK I'm almost afraid to take it to an apple store for what they'll tell me. It's like taking your used car to the deal only for them to tell you that the repairs would cost as much as a new car. Follow me here? I love my iPod though! =( It's just to quirky that this is happening to a lot people at once.
    And yes .. it's ALL my video. Some of these things I've had on there for well over a year and they've worked fine all this time.

    Bump! Come on .. noooobody has had this issue yet? Hard to believe!
