Overlaying over video overlays, is it possible?

Hi,
I have created a video overlay, but cant seem to get the icon i would like in the bottom corner to stay on top. I tried turning the icon into an mso overlays, but still goes to the back of the video, when the video plays.
I have the same issue with a sequence overlay. I have produce a 360 spin, but would like to create an icon in the bottom corner, but as soon as you swipe to activate the sequence, the icon disappears. Again have tried turning the icon into a mso, but no luck so fare.
Any advices would be greatfully received.

One possibility is that your MSO isn't being converted to a slideshow overlay. When you create a two-state dummy MSO, select it and turn on an option such as Swipe in the Overlays panel. Otherwise, DPS just includes the current state of the MSO with the rest of the background image and doesn't make it a slideshow overlay.
There are several masking examples with instructions in the Advanced Overlays issue of DPS Tips.

Can i realize a overlay over video on platform S40...

I want to realize overlay over video and I have tried to use the interface overlaycontrol in JSR 234.
Unfortunately it seems this interface is not surpported on S40 et S60. Can anyone tell me is there anyother way to realize the overlay?
Thanks a lot.

Maybe you can elaborate.
The only way I find to create custom videos (overlays, etc) is to:
a) Use the video editor (on some old versions of N95 and N93 there was a video editor built in that allowed you to add texts and other things to the videos
b) Use a PC to create the video and add the overlays then encode the video on a format that the phone can understand.
640K Should be enough for everybody

New Problem with Premiere Elements 8-Blue overlay over video

I'm still trying to begin using the trial version of Premiere Elements and have a new problem. When I add video files to the project, they are displayed with a blue coating over the whole video when it is played, or in many cases it is just black with no video. If I click in the screen, I see
the stopped video as it shoiuld be (clear), but as soon as I start playing the video, then nothing works. I hear the audio but the video is either black or has a blue overlay making it difficult to even see what is on the screen. I've tried changing to software rendering during playback with no help. The program is unusable as it is. I also have problems adding files to the project when I try to add from files and folders. I can't select multiple files and when I try to add one at a time, the 2nd file replaces the first instead of being added. I installed using the compatibility options in Win 7 because the application is listed as being incomaptible (even though Adobe claims it is Win 7 compatible.) I would really love to have this program work. Any suggestions. I have a fairly powerful computer except for the graphics being Intel integrated rather than a separate card.

To answer my own question, disabling "Enable GPU" seems to eliminate the blue overlay. I found a reference to it on a page that previously was not available.

Overlay a still image over video.

I am editing a lot of video and have a need to lay an image over the video, like down the left column or even across the bottom.
What I am doing is editing footage of a poker game we filmed and I want to be able to display the players' hole cards like they do on TV.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I've looked and looked with no success.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

In iMovie 08, when you overlay a photo over video, it takes the whole screen. iMovie 9, which comes out later this month, should have the ability to do what you are describing.
Also, if you have QuickTime Pro, you can do this as well. QuickTime Pro is not as intuitive as iMovie so get a good book to help. One such book available from frequent forum participant [QuickTime Kirk|http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/book/index.html]

Selected/activated button overlay in Buttons over Video

I have six different buttons over video, with one overlay.
The buttons are assigned to each of six audio tracks.
When I select and activate a button the overlay goes from white to red, and the audio changes to the specified audio track. So far, so good. But, when I want to select another button, the red overlay disappears, and I see the selected buttons white overlay. This is of course "default", but I'd like the red overlay to stay, indicating that I'm still listening to that audio track, even if I'm choosing between another button.
Can this be done somehow? I'm thinking that perhaps I can add a subtitle that tells me what Track I have selected, but the overlay is already a subtitle...
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

Only one button can be "selected" at a time, meaning when people scroll through the selections on the menu there is an indication of where they are/what they are about to press when they hit enter.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4573106&#4573106, take a look at the last post for a way to try to get the effect sort of happening
Same general concept applies to buttons over video. Only one state active at a time, and subtitles will not work since the buttons are a subtitle stream (of course you can use add text in the overlay for the buttons) Page 460 of the PDF

Video Overlay with the TV

I am trying to get my macbook to play video out to my TV through the Video Composite adapter.
I can make it clone the desktop fine but that is not what I am trying to do.
With my matrox G400 card on my PC I have been able to play full screen video out to the TV while keeping the video in the player area on the desktop window. I've been able to do with with default settings on my PC since 1999.
Here is a link which demonstrates the options in video overlay settings.
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/matrox-g550.html#sect2
What I am trying to do is called the Dualhead DVDMax mode. Of course I realize this is just what Matrox calls it. My nVidia card also does it but under a different name.
Does anyone know how I can make this happen with my macbook?

what do you mean not a valid function "anymore"
was it once possible on the mac and now it's not?
this seems unlikely.. i hope...
It does not work for me to "mirror" because my macbook screen resolution is much more than my television. Why should I have to reduce my macbook to a 640x480 mirrored just to play a movie on the TV? Why can't I play a movie and let my kids watch it in the other room while I continue to work on another program the way that I can with my old PC?
Also my television is in the other room so if I were to drag the video window over to the other monitor I can no longer see it in order to full screen it or whatever. the window is usually much bigger than the screen if i try to drag it across in "spaces".. but this isn't the right thing either.
I wish I knew the technical term for what I am trying to do. "video overlay" i think is too broad and there must be a more specific terminology for *full screen video playback on secondary video when played in a window on primary*
anyone know what it is?

Create a video overlay on an flv

Hi
I'm new to FMS and have a question
I know it's possible to capture a webcam and save it down to
file
But is it possible to:
• Record a stream from a webcam
• Then superimpose a transparent flv over the top
• Then save this down as 1 flv on the server?
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers
Andy

Thanks for the response
Are you aware of any way this could be done?
I've looked into FFMpeg but I can only apply a transparent
image with this as if i overlay a video with ffmpeg the
transparency doesn't work by using libavfilter
Cheers

Overlay live video feed with flash animation

I am using a webcam to allow people see themselves on a screen. I would like to overlay the video with some flash animation (simple graphics of planes, cars etc.) going across the screen.
How do I achieve this?

Hi IEC,
Having just finished an app that has two ROI overlay layers ontop of a
static image, I might be able to give you some ideas. All of the below
assumes that you know basic Labview programming.
- I have not used IMAQ yet, and so am not sure what front panel control
type will render the live video images. But, I'm not sure that matters.
- If you can place an XY Graph over your video display on the front panel then we have it made
- stretch the size of the XY Graph so that the plot area matches the size and placement of your video image panel
- make the plot area of the XY graph transparent.
- you can also make the border of the XY graph transparent
- if you want a scale for your video then use the scale of the XY Graph to show the scale of your video images
- then it's just a matter of defining the XY points of the ROIs that you want to plot on the XY Graph
- if you want multiple ROIs then each can be a different color by making them different channels to the XY Graph
- if you just want a few straight lines, and want to be able to move
the lines around in realtime then you can get a little fancier:
       - turn on the cursor legend for the XY Graph
       - create two cursors for each line that
you need (a start point cursor, and an end point cursor)
       - set the color and cursor style as desired
       - in your main loop:
                 - use the XY Graph "crsr list" property to get the XY positions of the various cursors
      - those cursor XY positions become
points of line segments fed to the XY Graph to plot (draws a line
between the cursors)
       - In realtime, as you move the cursors, the line segments move accordingly
In my particular app I had to provide a mechanism for the user to
create ovals, rectangles, polygons and freehand ROIs. Then I also
needed mechanisms to rotate, pan or expand/compress the ROIs. This is a
bit more challenging, but very do-able.
Hope that helps,
RMP

Strange thing happens when smplayer use xv-intel video overlay

i started to notice some strange thing happens when i turn on the desktop composting effect on kde,smplayer's video show blue colors,and smplayer menu has a thick blue line surrounding it.
whatever other windows i dragged over the smplayer show the same effect,which is very annoying. i figured it's something with the video output.
the default video output is xv-intel video overlay,so i changed it to xv,gl,etc,and things become normal,xv-intel textured video works fine,too.
of course if i turn off the compositing effect,everything will be ok.
so it's because there are conflicts between the desktop effects and the xv-intel video overlay output?

Making a graph (temporarily and reversibly) bigger by video overlay

Is it possible to make a graph (temporarily and reversibly) bigger than the tab (for instance) where it is included ?
(is video overlay possible ?)
The objective is to have a better visual comfort and to go back to the native size afterwards.
Thanks

Create a subVI with a front panel that only has a large graph and a close button. Call this VI and feed it the data you want to be able to see. Make the subVI modal and centered.

Error in iPhoto pictures overlayed on video

I have found a number of error which I'm surprised no one else has posted.
Refer to the attached picture: http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b322/chaosboi/imovie.jpg
The first picture I have overlayed (top left of screen IMG_1129) is displaying an incorrect picture in the preview window.
The second picture isn't playing in the preview window and the third is also displaying an incorrect picture.
I have tried to create new projects using different pictures and videos, and sometime I can only add two picture overlays and sometime more. It's working very randomly.
Can anyone try to replicate what I'm experiencing?

After installing an iPhoto update the correct pictures are now displaying in iMovie, but iMovie will still not show all of my overlays I have added.
It always allows a different amount of overlays before it will not display anymore
Has anyone came accros the same issue, or has anyone been succesfull in overlaying pictures over video?
Thanks.

Streaming video in a video overlay plays automatically...from different article

I have a DPS app with several videos throughout. The videos are part of a MSO - where the first state is the poster image and when clicked it goes to the second state where the video is called via a Video overlay and the videos sit on a web server.
I've noticed that even though I was browsing an article that already had a video on a page, a different video (from the next article) started playing - going to that article I could see the poster was still showing but the sound from the video was playing nevertheless.
the MSO is not set to autoplay - just to vector
the video overlay is set to autoplay (but since the video is on the second state it shouldn't really play until you get to that state?)
any ideas how to solve this issue?
many thanks
Mariya

hi Bob
no, the text should not stay over the video. The original MSO works like this - state 1 is what you see in the screengrab - poster + text. State two is just the video which is the same size as the poster image without text. Clicking on the poster takes you to the second state and the video plays (streaming from a web server).
The main issue is that the sound I hear belongs to a video which sits on the next article... if i trigger the current article video the other sound stops; if i go to the page of next article containing the MSO with the video - it continues playing sound but the MSO stays on the poster image state.... do you think this is something I should raise with our Adobe support contacts? Originally the videos in the app were streaming from YouTube but apparently there is an issue with the YouTube API and iOS8 and this we decided to stream the videos from our server.
Do you think nesting 2 MSO could be a workaround... I'm thinking about trying to nest the video into a further 2-state MSO with auto-play set to "yes"....

Runtime error with SMP with OSMF 2.0 - Video Overlay problems

I am attempting to compile OSMF and Strobe from the 2.0 SVN tree. I am able to compile and play video, but when I attempt to bring up the video overlay (either via the context menu or having it auto-load) Strobe crashes with the following:
TypeError: Error #2022: Class ASSET_backDrop_left$ must inherit from DisplayObject to link to a symbol.

Do I need to re-export the assets.fla file?
I am using Flash Builder 4.7 with Flex 4.6

Do you have a piece of source code (what you do from bringing up the video overlay) ?

HELP! rendering issues in AE CS4 w/ video overlays

Hi Guys,
I've just finished rendering a video as a quicktime movie on AE CS4. I'm using footage shot with a Canon 5D Mark II, with the firmware upgrade so it shoots 29.97 fps not the 30 which AE supposedly has trouble with. Whenever I Ram preview, the video plays just fine, but after final ouput rendered on AE, the video always seems to stall whenever I use video overlays (as in, videos that are lighten/multiply in the blending options) on top of each other. My question is: does AE CS4 have problems with video overlays on top of each other? and if so, does anyone have experience in working this out?
I REALLY APPRECIATE ANYONES HELP? THANKS AHEAD OF TIME!
Best,
Don

No, AE has no trouble with processing or rendering much of anything you ask it to do for you.
But the footage from most DSLRs is not ordinarily editable in its native format because of the compression. Did yo convert to a more frame-editable format before trying to use it in AE?
Actually, nevermind, don't answer that. Wait till some of the other guys with more experience with Canon's video-from-a-still format can check in. Meantime, you can easily research the huge user base of Canon DSLR users who are shooting video.

Video Overlay Problem

My current project requires multiple video overlays (or cutaways). I'm following the directions in the iMovie 2 manual (though I have iMovie 3.0.3. I'm extracting the audio from the overlay clip (in the preferences section) prior to the overlay. Then I reduce the audio in the overlay clip to zero, and it almost works perfectly. Except -- in the extracted audio track that is playing under the overlay there is a very high pitched micro-burst of a peep, sometimes more than one. Thinking it was an anomaly, I have redone the overlays again and again, but the little sqeal doesn't go away. If I cut the extracted audio, the picture plays perfectly. The problem is in the extracted audio. What am I doing wrong??? Or what is iMovie 3 doing wrong?

If you do an entire extraction, can you cut or mute the sound at the ends and get rid of the noise? I haven't used iM3 for years so I don't know how it behaves with the OS and QT updates that have come along. I however do not remember sound problems with it in OS9 and early 10. (Which is the last time I used 3) It was just very crash prone. Exports were a little buggy too. The export trouble went away with 10.
Really though, for the price of iLife you should really pop for it.

Overlaying over video overlays, is it possible?
