Playback control covers presentation

This is my second post to the forum. I apologize for my
horrible screen-name. Everything I tried kept getting rejected, so
I just hit random keyboard keys. :)
Anyway, I've been having problems with the playback control.
It appears on-top of the finished presentation, instead of just off
to the side (or bottom/top). If there a way around this, or do I
just need to leave space in my slide layout for the playback
control?
Thanks for you help!

Welcome to our community, Bryan
As you are new to the community, I'm assuming it's a safe bet
you are using Captivate 2 or 3? If so, try clicking Project >
Skin... > Borders tab and seeing if you have a border enabled.
The Borders feature moves the playback control into its own
area on the presentation. However, this has the side effect of
causing an additional .SWF to be created. Assuming you want the
playback moved off the main part of the movie and still maintain a
single .SWF to distribute, you need to click Project > Resize
Project... and make the project taller. Then ensure the man part of
the movie isn't rescaled, but positioned so it leaves room for your
playback controls to sit in their own area.
Cheers... Rick

  • In Quicktime 10.3, why can't I hide the playback controls? It is most annoying when giving a presentation to a large group to see the control panel appear. I just want them to see the movie. Thanks!

    How to hide playback controls?

    The problem is I don't want my audience to EVER see the playback controls, just like I don't want to see a TV station's playback controls onscreen when watching TV. Same in a movie theater. The movie should just appear and play.
    And not moving the mouse is not an option when going between a slide program and a movie program, which our presentations often if not always do.
    Is there a way to do what I want in my computer using Quicktime?
    There are no user preferences for any current version of QT X. If you must use "Full" screen mode, then start player playback before entering the "Full" screen mode and exit the "Full" screen mode before again moving the mouse to avoid seeing the controls when you do manipulate the mouse. Only other option might be to use a non-mirroring workflow strategy.
    Does Quicktime Pro have that ability?
    Yes and no. The QT 7 media player window normally displays the controls at all times. However, when keyed for "Pro" use, you can go to the "Properties" window and change the "Presentation" movie controller type to the "None Movie Controller" setting. In this setting all playing modes other than "Full" screen mode display the player with title bar above the viewing area but without side frame or controls under the display. If you are using the "Full" screen mode for your presentation, then you can open the "Preferences" window to the "Full Screen" tab and deselect display of the "full-screen controls." In both cases you will have to either use menu options to start/stop playback or double-click the display screen to start playback and single-click the display screen to stop playback manually. (NOTE: In the first instance the property setting is/can be saved to the file itself while in the second the setting is saved as a QT 7 Player preference to the player itself.)

  • Playback Control in Captivate 4 as it was in version 3

    Hi!
    I have some projects made using the version 3.
    When publishing them in that old Captivate, the playback control (stop, pause, etc buttons) was placed inside the borders of the project, so the measures of the whole movie (swf file) wasn't being changed.
    But in the Captivate 4 the additional thick lines are added automatically. So the navigation bar becomes placed on them, not inside the project. Therefore the measures (width/height) of the swf file is increased and that is unacceptable for me.
    How can I configure my Captivate 4 to publish the playback control as it was in the previous version?
    I mean covering the presentation, but not taking the navigation bar out.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi there
    Unfortunately they changed that aspect. No workaround exists that I'm aware of. About all you can do is lodge your compliaint with the development team using the Bug form. (link is in my sig)

  • Can Captivate 7's playback controls control Flash swf files?

    Hi folks,
    I have created a swf file using Adobe Flash and I have imported it as an animation slide in Captivate 7. I have turned on the playback controls to just have the play button and the progress bar. When I export the presentation, the playback controls do not work. The scrubber moves as the presentation is playing, but I can't pause the presentation. When I stop the scrubber or even move it left or right, it does not affect the presentation and it just keeps playing. Am I doing something wrong? I don't want to have to create a custom nav bar in Flash as it would just be easier to use Captivate's playback bar.

    I don't think it can be expained quickly as it can be very complicated. But...
    Select New Project/Widget in Flash and choose static widget. You need to be very adept in AS3 to actually get them to work.

  • How to add a custom multimedia playback control to add a time line of what is being played?

    How to add a custom skin in multimedia playback control to add a time line of what is being played?  As it is being played...
    I need a time line so any part of the what is being played can be found by time, ie at 1 minute and 30 seconds in and continues for 45 seconds out of a 50 minute audo.

    If you're talking about a playback controller within the rich media annotation (RMA) then you need to write your own widget in Flash or Flex, and then place the video and widget files using the multimedia "Add Flash" tool in Acrobat instead of the "Add Video" tool. Aside from a bunch of proprietary code to handle events, commenting and the API (which you can live without for basic play-pause-scrub applications), video RMAs are just an embedded SWF file containing an FLVPlayback component. The skin and the video file itself are added to the RMA as resource entries. You can build your own version and have it display whatever controls you want, provided you know how to write ActionScript!
    If you're talking about a controller that's external to the RMA (e.g. a series of links or buttons elsewhere on the page) then in the past you would use FLV video files and the 'cue points' feature that's built into Acrobat - however Adobe removed the ability to create FLV files in the latest version of CC, so unless you have CS6 or earlier it's a non-starter. Instead you can manually set playback start points using the special "multimedia operations" link action in your PDF - though stopping playback at a defined point is very difficult without FLV cues. For that you're back to writing your own widget.

  • Looking for better playback controls

    When I create FLV files for web streaming directly through
    Adobe Flash, I
    can take advantage of many choices of playback controls, my
    favorite one
    being the ArcticExternalAll. The downside: RIPing my slide
    shows takes
    hours.
    The newest version of ProShow Producer has greatly improved
    Flash export,
    allowing me to create high-quality Flash files directly from
    it in a
    fraction of the time -- minutes instead of hours. Its
    downside: Only a
    use-it-or-not choice of one playback control, and it's a
    lousy one.
    I would like to learn more about these playback controls:
    - Which file is responsible for designating the controls, the
    SWF or the
    FLV?
    - Can the user swap one control for another?
    - Can I take the external ArcticExternalAll.swf and somehow
    patch the video
    to include the control file?
    Any input is appreciated...

    I misspoke, then, or I was not specific enough. I take AVI
    files and import
    them into Flash and then publish them as FLVs. That is the
    sum total of my
    experience using Flash.
    However, I am an advanced computer user and a quick study, so
    if you were to
    point me in the right direction, that is likely all I would
    need...

  • IPad mini losses playback controls/capabilities using shared library content videos

    While accessing my shared "authorized" video library on my MacBook Pro, using the latest iTunes version (as of this submission), with my sparkling new iPad mini, the playback controls simply disappear usually after a few minutes, i.e. no progress bar, buttons for stop/start/pause/"done".
    The video stream from the shared library cannot be stopped without the on-screen controls so we either attempt to turn off the unit (pressing the top on/off button) or (usually) press the home button after which the video stream/app stops then return to the expected ipad screen but the residual sound stream will continue to run indefinitely.
    Most of the time, we hit the home button to end the video playback then wait for the sound stream portion to end which on average takes up to 1-5 minutes to stop completely.
    This is repeatable too. 
    SUMMARY:
    1). Without power cycling, we can play a video from the shared librar
    2). then wait long enough for the video controls to "go missing" or again go unresponsive
    3.) then press the home button which returns you to your normal iPad screen
    4.) but the sound stream portion will take a while to take its course before ending.
    Also, we gave power-cycling between issues but the each and every time, the shared library video playback inevitably ended up with same results.
    iPad mini with iOS 6.1.3 factory , wifi only unit with legitimate software, etc. I.e. no jailbreak nonsense.
    Any suggestions?  Or is this a glitch/bug which needs addressing?  Or a simple setting on the unit?
    Thanks in advance!!!

    I have nearly the same problem, but with an iPad 3rd generation. The symptoms are exactly the same, just a different device.
    You documented the problem well, I can only add that resetting and reloading did not solve the problem for me.

  • Create playback controls for Timeline in sync with audio?

    Hi All,
    Technically, I've combined two questions into one. Firstly, can someone offer some insight on how to create playback controls for an Edge animation so the user can essentially "scrub" the timeline or navigate to a specific point on the timeline. I know you can create buttons to "sym.play()" different areas but I was wondering if there was a more streamlined solution (something similar to video playback controls.) Next, I'd like the user to be able to skip to different locations while the music remains in sync with the animations. I've created a few buttons to attempt to achieve this but the music plays independently regardless of where I jump to on the timeline.
    Any help would be most appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    I had some ideas why that may be so, but then, when I thought about it, properly, i have no idea why it is that way. Maybe it is because audio has a higher priority than graphics, in OS X, but if I remember correctly, it was like this before OS X. Maybe there is an offset for latency compensation, but they made it too large. (it seems to be the same amount, no matter what the buffer size is)
    just to make sure we are seeing the same thing. on my (somehat old) G4 I'm seeing about 60ms difference.

  • Playback Controls Do Not Function

    I have created movies that have the playback control located
    at the bottom center of the movie. I have published the movie in
    both SWF and HTM formats. Usually, the forward, rewind, pause, etc.
    buttons work but the Exit button does not work.
    Does anyone know why it doesn't work? How can I make it work?
    I do not know javascript, if you are going there. I am not a
    developer. I am a software trainer struggling to make a
    demonstration movie work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Please help quickly! I am in a bind!

    Hi Susan
    Here is one thing to try. It may or may not work, but may be
    worth a shot.
    Insert the following code:
    JavaScript:var
    pw=window.parent;pw.opener=window.self;pw.close();
    Where?
    * Insert > Button
    or
    * Insert > Click box
    or
    * Movie > Preferences > Start and end tab > Movie
    End Options.
    Configure "Execute JavaScript" as the action.
    Click the ellipsis (...) button to produce another dialog.
    Paste code from above into the dialog.
    Click OK to dismiss the dialog.
    Click OK to dismiss the properties or preferences dialog.
    Publish and test the movie.

  • Full Screen Playback Control Impossible Using Monitor 2 in Dual Monitor

    Recent iTunes update (patch didn't fix) causes playback control to disappear when the cursor is on the monitor showing the movie. Controls reappear when cursor is moved to first monitor. User cannot get the cursor near the control panel. Must drop out of full screen playback to touch controls with the cursor.

    Isn't there a SINGLE MONITOR option in COLOR? Use that.
    I don't think two graphics cards will work with Color, as Color relies on the card when it comes time to render. Might mess it up, or not work.

  • Frame Offset Playback Control in FCP HD Not Working

    if I output my audio via firewire, it works just fine. However, I am unable to playback audio in sync via built-in audio (which sounds far better than my firewire output device).
    I've gone to to my FCP System Preferences; Playback Control and it has a default offset of 4 frames. But it's still out of sync. However, if I manually offset my audio in the timeline by 4 frames, it's IN sync. I've tried various frame rates in the Playback and it never syncs, in fact it appears as though nothing is changing, no matter what I set it at.
    What am I overlooking or doing wrong? It just doesn't make sense.

    I'm having the same problem on capture. I'm migrating from a PowerBook 800 to an Intel Imac. I need the Keyspan Serial to USB adapter to run the 422 port on my BetaCam player. I finally got it hooked up tonight.
    I grabbed a piece of video, and I'm getting two error's. First, like you, I'm 4 frames off (I'm using a Window Dub so I see the offset). Secondly, when I stop the capture I get a window telling me there is some discrepancy with my captured audio rate. When I look at the setting for the clip, all the frame rates seem to match. When I check the video, the lip sync is indeed off.
    So I'm using the same Keyspan adapter I've bee using using in Panther. Now I'm in Tiger, and I have what seems to be the latest, Intel Mac Keyspan update.
    But when I type in an offset number. and hit return, it doesn't "take". There is no change on the offset if I do another capture, and when I go back to the setting, it is at zero. I remember in Panther the current offset number was always visible.
    Any suggestions? I'm trying to get the offset to take, so I can capture proper time code on this BetaCam dub.
    Thanks.
