PC users saying the end of my movies freeze up

Hello all, I have an iMac and when I send slideshows exported from iPhoto using Quicktime, or even sending other home movies from share through quicktime through e mail, some PC users are saying towards the end it stops playing. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Has not been sent to me so have no well of telling at this time...

Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.16 on Win 8.1 64bit ES logs out user at the end of Youtube film

Dear Players.
My Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.167 on Win 8.1 64bit ES (Spanish) in IE11 logs out user at the end of Youtube film. In Event viewer there is apparently no error information. I use Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook S6410, where on Windows Vista 32 bit and IE9 with current Flash there was no problem on Youtube films.
I have a feeling that initially after installing Windows 8 and 8.1 the films of Youtube finished correctly showing a mosaic of proposed next films. Now when the film ends, and the mosaic of the proposals should appear, the user is logged out.
I did all the Adobe recommendations, and it does not help. Yet the problem is only with Youtube for the moment. All other Flash content on other pages shows ok.
Any suggested solution?
Kind regards

Hello,
Microsoft has been changing how they identify IE in the UserAgent string in IE11 (and in more recent versions of IE10). This has been occurring over various releases and it's not new to the latest updates. As you see, sometimes they identify as Netscape/Mozilla instead of IE. You can Google 'Microsoft User-agent string' the search will return various MSDN articles on this topic. Long story short, most websites use OS/browser version in the user-agent string to display content for that particular combination, however, Microsoft wants content developers to use feature detection, not browser detection. Compatibility view will work because Microsoft will change the user-agent string properties to something prior to the changes they've made. By doing this, Microsoft leaves it up to the content developer to update their site. Some have, some have not.

In iMovie '11 how do I slow down my credits at the end of my movie. I typed them in, but the speed is too fast.

I have iMovie '11, and I can't find how to slow down the "credits" I've typed in at the end of my movie. I guess
it would be the scrolling speed.

Credits scroll at the speed that is necessary for the scrolling to complete by the end of the clip. So, to slow them down, simply prolong the duration of the scrolling credits title clip by selecting and draggging out the yellow boundary.

Adding a simple audio fade at the end of a movie - help

Hi gentlemen,
How do you add a simple fade out to the audio track at the end of a movie ?
I tried adding a keyframe about 5 seconds before the end of my movie, but can't figure out how to do it. Not sure how to do this :-(
I need some help. ( I read the manual and I don't get it )
Thanks,
Dave.

Dave,
In Effects>Audio Transitions>Crossfades, you should have 2 Trransitions. Choose Constant Power, and drag it to the end of your Audio Clip. Depending on your settings in Edit>Preferences, you may need to drag the beginning of the Constant Power Crossfade to the left, to get the 5 sec., that you want.
Other method would be to highlight the Clip, and in the Effects Control panel, choose Volume. Go to 5 sec., before the end, and click the "stopwatch" to add a start Keyframes and add a Keyframe. Go to the end of the Clip and click the "add Keyframe" button. With the CTI still over that Keyframe on the end of the clip, drag the Volume slider to -00.0db.

What is the best way to make "credits" at the end of a movie?

Is there a way in iMovie (or iDVD) that I can create credits or just a black screen with words on it? I am sure there is a way, I am just not sure.
Thanks!

If you want it to be on a black background ( and use the 'over black' option) it will add onto the end of your movie.
If you want it to play over your movie, uncheck the 'over black' option box.

Adding time at the end of a movie

Is there a way to add a couple seconds of black at the end of a movie without having an object on the timeline?

You could try extending the work area, but why not just put a black matte and do the job properly?
If you play out the timeline to tape, a very short black clip at the end will generate permanent black output to tape, so you can avoid longer timelines that way if you wish. But exporting to file needs all frames to be specified.

Detecting the end of a movie clip

Hi,
Objective: Display a book that the user can turn the pages to
view more text. I used a tutorial from the web to create the
turning page.
Process: On layer 1, frame 1 of the main time line, I put an
image of a book. On layer 2, frame 1 and also frame 2 of the main
time line, I put text for the book. I then created a movie clip
(MC) called PageTurnMC that looks like a page in the book is being
turned. On layer 3 of the main time line, I put an instance of the
MC and called it PageTurn. On layer 4 of the main time line, I put
a button to play the MC and advance to frame 2 called drawer1cont
(see code).
//code on the button used to turn the book's page
on (release) {
PageTurn.play(); //plays my PageTurnMC
gotoAndStop("drawer1cont"); //advance to the next frame of
text
Problem: I need to detect when the end of the MC before I
advance to the next frame. I have to use the PageTurnMC many times,
so it is not possible for me to put the action in the last frame of
MC. As of right now, my frame 2 text appears as the PageTurnMC
plays which is not what I want.
Thanks for any help.

I just tested it and got my quick example to work. Here are a
couple of possible areas to double check:
In the last frame of PageTurnMC, gotoAndStop must reference
the main movie clip, e.g. _root.gotoAndStop().
Also, make sure the parameter _root.frameID isn't in quotes
because it is a variable, not the actual string.
As I said, I'm not a Flash expert nor do I know the setup of
your movie, but this should work as long as you have all of your
references correct. If you can't get it to work, try to trace
necessary variables to make sure you are accessing the appropriate
variable.
The suggestion by nilu_only will also work, but it will waste
some cycles because you will have to wait for the movie clip to
end. Here is what I mean:
Immediately after playing PageTurn, accessing
PageTurn._currentFrame will return the currentFrame only once. So
if PageTurn isn't on its lastFrame, your condition statement
(PageTurn_currentframe == PageTurn._totalframe) will fail and
gotoAndStop will never be called.
Instead, you would need to wait for some time and continually
check the _currentFrame until the condition statement is true, e.g:
on (release) {
PageTurn.play();
while (PageTurn_currentframe != PageTurn._totalframe) {}
//wait until reaches the last frame
gotoAndStop ("drawer1cont")
This approach is likely to be suboptimal since you are
wasting cycles checking the current frame instead of just having
the movie let you know when it has reached the last frame.
Depending on how Flash handles that while statement, you could have
serious slowdown from that while statement. And since Flash doesn't
have a sleep() function, you would have to do some sort of
setTimeout() to slow down those checks. Either way, I would venture
to say this approach is better off avoided.

Automatically getURL at the end of a movie?

I’ve been using Swift3D to create a splash page.
I’ve imported the movie into Flash and worked out how to
[stop();’] my movie from repeating. At the end of the movie I
want it to another webpage in the same window.
I’ve tried adding the getURL script in the last frame
of my movie but I get this error in the output window:
**Error** Symbol=movie.swf, layer=Layer 1, frame=59:Line 1:
')' or ',' expected
getURL(http:/www.mysite.com/);
The movie plays but the [stop();’] action is ignored
and the movie continues to loop. I’ve tried putting the
getURL before and after the [stop();’] action but I get the
same error.
So what am I doing wrong? I’m really new to this.
Trying to learn DremWeaver at the same time and my head is fried.
Can someone help?
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks Rapatski & dzedward it works but I now get an
error saying that Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe
operation. The following local application on your computer or
network is trying to communicate with this internet-enabled
location.
Is this just because I’m testing the file on my local
desktop? Will this error go away when I upload my files to a
server? Or is there a way of changing the security settings in my
Flash movie?

Listening for the end of a movie

Hi, I have some code that loads a movieclip into an empty
clip
var container:MovieClip =
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", this.getNextHighestDepth());
container.attachMovie("twdc_mc", "twdc_mc", 1, {_x:300,
_y:275});
then i want to wait until the end of the movieclip, unload it
and load another in its place - all without leaving frame one of my
main timeline...so my initial thought was to add this:
function getframes(numFrames,totalFrames) {
if (numFrames == totalFrames){
trace("removed") //changed the return variable to this for
testing
container.twdc_mc.onEnterFrame =
getframes(container.twdc_mc._currentframe,container.twdc_mc._totalframes);
(the use of a function because i want to re-use it)
the problem is that the if statement is parsed and evaluated
to false immediately, then it moves on to the next statement
without looking back despite the existance of the onEnterFrame
function
So my question is how can I listen for this event without the
need to add unLoad or removeMovieClip to the end of the offending
mc?
Thankyou in advance for any replies, I'm trying hard to get
to grips with "as" but Im a php boy at heart and really struggling!
Sam

Hi Sam,
in AS, you can't pass parameters to an event or callback
function like onEnterFrame this way. You can either pass a function
reference (without brackets, otherwise the function would execute
immediately and the event is undefined after that):
container.twdc_mc.onEnterFrame = getframes;
or define a function 'on the fly':
container.twdc_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
Since you want to use the first way, getframes() can't have
any parameters, but instead it can use the scope of the event it is
bound to through the 'this' keyword:
function getframes() {
// trace(this._totalframes);
if (this._currentframe == this._totalframes){
trace("removed")
Now 'this' depends on the scope in which getframes() is
called, so you can use it with the onEnterFrame event of the loaded
clip:
container.twdc_mc.onEnterFrame = getframes;
and it will compare twdc_mc's position to it's end. Bound to
another MC it would take that MC's values.
cheers,

How to detect the end of a movie clip: what eventListener to use?

I'm doing a rather fancy button with up,down,rollover,rollout,and static states, something the standard flash button structure isn't capable of as far as I can tell, and believe me, I've tried it.
Here's the setup: My main timeline has a series of frames with stop(): scripts, and each frame has a movie clip representing what should happen during that state: still, rollover, rollout, mousedown, mouseup
I can't get the mouseup event to work.
Here's what I've tried so far that doesn't work:
1. in the imbedded movieclip, no script at the end. Result: This just loops the embedded clip.
2. in the imbedded movieciip, put gotoAndPlay("NextFrame"), where "NextFrame" is the label in the root movie where I want to go. result: loops clip
3. in the imbedded movieciip, put root.gotoAndPlay("NextFrame"), where "NextFrame" is the label in the root movie where I want to go. result: error
I think what I need to do is write an eventListener for the root actionscript, but I don't know what event to listen for.
What event is thrown when a movieclip finishes playing?
:<)McFrisco

You have to create your own mechanism(s) for detecting the end of a movieclip being reached. You can either build code into the end of the clip itself, possibly dispatching an event that is being listened for by a containing timeline, or you could continuously monitor the currentFrame of the clip to see if it equals the totalFrames value.

I ran across the same error today. Since it's been over a month, I assume you've fixed it already or decided you didn't need it at all? What was your fix?
For me, I noted that in the sample directory, a similar "createView" call (in End User Anonymous Enrollment) also includes this argument:
<Argument name='viewId' value='User'/>
When I added that to my createView call, the "Missing view id" error went away, and the user are gets created.
I'm not entirely comfortable with the value specified, though; seems like view IDs should be more unique. I would have thought it should have been something like this instead:
<Argument name='viewId' value='User:$(accountId)'/>

Can I remediate the user at the end of the test after they have completed the entire test?

We have a course with several lessons. At the end of the lessons there will be a test that must allow the user to remediate to the questions they missed.
Our issue is that they students must finish the test first before they are remediated.
How do I do this?
Thank you!

Our plan is to create a lesson test with a minimum of 20 questions where the student will work through the entire test and receive a score.
At this point after concluding the test, the student is presented with the score showing correct and incorrect answers.
The student can then select the question(s) they missed and navigate back to the slide containing the information.
After reviewing each missed question, they can exit the test.
Keep in mind the test will be a separate captivate file with the 'information slides' copied and pasted into the test.cptx file.
Is this clear as mud now?
Thank you for your feedback.

How do I put my logo or whatever I want at the end of my movie iDVD6 ?

I have been making DVD's for people taking their old B&W's and color photos and putting them into iPhoto after working on them in Photoshop, and then transferring straight out of iPhoto into iDVD 6 how can I make a page at the end with my logo who it was made by etc. pretty much like the end credits on a store bought DVD? Pretty new at using iDVD and I haven't seen where anyone has asked this if so I'm sorry just point me the right way please
Thanks Michael

How 'bout just making a credit slide in Photoshop and sticking it into iPhoto at the end of the show?
Or make your own "Credits" slideshow, separate from the main event.

At the end of exporting Premiere freezes for a few minutes

Hi,
my computer is a i7 4930K @4,5GHz, 16GB RAM, 250GB SSD, Radeon 6950.
I was editing a 50 minutes long movie (cca 20GB source clips, cca 4,5GB output movie).
The export ran very well finishing after about 25 minutes but then Premiere froze with message "encoding, 0 seconds remaining" displayed and nothing seemed to be happening.
I realized the HDD activity was shining (not even blinking), the Widnows resource monitor reported cca 70-100MB/s transfer on my SSD (even though I think my SSD should be faster) and when I held F5 while looking into the export directory the output file was growing on capacity.
If I concider 70MB/s writing the task shloud be done in cca 1 minute. But it took I would say 5 minutes or even more finishing this task. RAM was not even fully used.
Is this behaviour normal?
How can I improve this? Is my SSD slow?
Thanks

Multiplexing is the process of interleaving the audio and video in a single output file. When you export with multiplexing set to None, you'll end up with the audio and video in separate files. That's probably not what you want.
That said, I suggest doing one export with the multiplexer set to None. If encoding then completes immediately upon hitting 100%, that confirms that multiplexing is what's adding time at the end.
What I don't know is how long multiplexing should take for a sequence of a given duration.
If you're so inclined, you could submit a bug report that the progress bar doesn't factor in the multiplexing time.
