Please help, need to import .swf/flash media

Hi all, have a little issue here. I have some SWF flash media and I want to bring it into imovie so I can edit it more effectivley then with qt. However, I have been haveing alot of trouble, most time I only get the audio part of it and no image. Most of the media is widescreen, I was able to export the media in qt to dv stream and then import it, however, it lost its widescreen look and was kinda squished from the sides if that makes sense, if anybody has expeirence with this type of media, please help.

Hi Nathan,
I've never "dared" to convert .swf, but I read a lot about problems doing so... probably the Quicktime section of this forum is better to ask...
maybe a much easier workaround is using tools as SnapzPro from Ambrosia; this tool claims to "record" any screen content (and audio) and convert it directly into any wanted format (as dv)...
just a thought.......

  • Please help - need to import/create song snippets in iMovie

    Hi - I'm making a movie in '06 HD which requires a series of short (apx. 1 minute each) song segments taken from longer songs (apx 4 minutes each). After learning how to first crop the song in iTunes, I could not figure out how to import just the cropped part (the imported song played in its entirety in iMovie, despite being cropped in iTunes). Nor does it seem I can crop the music in iMovie itself. If iMovie had 5-6 different audio tracks I could just lay them down overlapping and only "play" the parts I need. Is there some workaround that I've missed here? Is it possible to make a single "song" in iTunes that is in fact made up of segments of different songs. HELP! I'm on a tight deadline.

    I wasn't aware that iTunes lets you crop songs... Here is how you can crop it in iMovie:
    After you import a song into iMovie, you drag it onto one of the audio tracks, right? Don't worry about the exact location for now. Now you can select it in the timeline (be careful not to change the volume by accident), then play it. Listen only to your song, don't pay attention to the video. Once you get to the part of your song where you want it to start, hit Apple-T to split it into two pieces at that point. This will only split the song in the selected track, and leave the other tracks alone. Select the part before the cut point, and delete it (Backspace key). Repeat the process at the end point, deleting everything beyond the split point. Now you have just the part you want. Drag it on the timeline until it lines up with your video.

  • Please help: Need an import 'action'

    Hi,
    I'm trying to make life 'easy' in our household for getting pictures into Aperture 3, but I'm at a complete loss as to how to achieve this - it seems Apple offer great flexibility on export, but little on import.
    What I want to do, is when importing from a CF card (in Canon format), put the images in:
    Project (Year)
    Folder (Month)
    Album (Day)
    I have previously exported to this folder structure, and the 'Projects and Folders' import then created the above - however, there's no way to automatically import into this structure from the CF reader.
    Is there a way to do this with an Applescript 'action' on import ? I don't mind getting my hands dirty with tweaking some code, but I've never really used Applescript at all.
    Because my wife needs to be able to use this, I don't want to have to manuall create any projects/folders/albums or worry about any other details - just have the import defaults setup such that a card is inserted, import all is chosen, and the structure is used.
    I don't want to have a two-stage process unless it's very easy to reproduce. This has to be easy, otherwise I may as well just go back to iPhoto and lose all the great benefits of Aperture.
    I was really looking forward to using the import presets as they solve the other main Aperture problem I had, but this is proving to be a bigger issue now.
    Thanks for any help.
    Michael.

    Hi Calx,
    I really do understand projects. I just don't need them. I'm not wanting to organise things at the moment - just get the images 'into' Aperture, and create smart folders.
    I don't actually need a project for this. I could use just one project, as Aperture requires it, but then I'm stuck after 10000 images.
    As mentioned in my original post, I was planning on 'sturcturing' by year/month/date as that is a valid structure for me - the problem being which part of that structure is a project (year is more than 10000 images, so it would have to be month) ad how I automatically create that on image import.
    I realise everyone seems to want to organise things differently, and most people create a 'project' for an 'event' or 'location' or 'shoot' or suchlike... I don't need that. I take pictures and put them in 1 big pot, and use smart folders etc., later on.
    The problem seems to be that I need to actually manage it with projects from the start - I can't just bring in images into Aperture (as the container) and use 'smart' tools to group things together - I have to have a project.
    Everyone's answer is about how to structure projects based upon different criteria. I realise this is how Apple expect it to work. I just don't have the time to group things into projects at the moment.
    Either way, this is all away from the original point. The main problem I have is not being able to automatically create a structure (of any kind other than a single or constrained auto-split group of projects) when importing directly from a CF card or camera.
    What I want, is to be able to say:
    On import, split the files by date, and put them in a project / folder / album according to year / month / date respectively. I can't do that, and it seems I have to rely on external functionality, import / export into a structure & re-import, or manually move select move images.
    I know you can assign an Applescript action on the import, and I figured that perhaps this could be used to re-structure the images on the import, but by the silence on this point and the fact that everyone keeps pushing me to manually maintain my projects, suggests it just can't be done.

  • Need to import .swf into Flash 8 project

    I'm working on a project that requires me to use an already
    made .swf file in it. I'm creating the whole project (which is a
    presentation) strictly in Flash 8. This project requires a user to
    be able to navigate through various menus and categories to see
    what's in them. Most of the categories have a slide-show of images
    that are accompanied by a voice over sound track that explains to
    them what they're watching; however, for other categories I already
    have a previously created .swf file that I need to import into
    Flash 8. The issue that I've noticed when I just import the .swf
    file into Flash is that the file plays at about 100x the original
    speed. I think that it is because Flash looks at this file as one
    frame and tried to play everything all at once. I also looked into
    the possibility of trying to the loadMovie() function, but that is
    not that convenient for me because this requires me to decompile
    the .swf file into .fla and edit it so that a user has a way of
    coming back to the main menu of the presentation from that movie,
    unless there is a function parameter of loadMovie() similar to
    HTML's "_blank" where a new window opens so that the user can close
    this window without having to worry about restarting the
    presentation. I hope that what I'm doing is clear, and I'm very
    much open to any suggestions about what I should do about it or any
    other ways of doing what I'm trying to achieve, which is to be able
    to play already-made .swf files in my Flash project. To give more
    details on these .swf files, they were originally created in Adobe
    Captivate and exported into .swf. They play perfectly when you play
    them, but it's just that there is an issue when I try to play them
    from my Flash project. Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hi Braulio
    a good tutorial site can be found at
    http://www.kirupa.com
    and also, look in your Flash Docs, for loadClip() and
    loavMovie() methods. They should get you started on some ideas to
    import external content.

    There I have a database 8i
    An area of 36 GB and night Eugene space on the hard disk is 2 GB
    I want to reduce the database space has decided to delete the tables from 2006 to 2010,
    But the database space 36 still Kiev and what to do

    I wish I could locate the apple document about backups, I know there's an official one but I can't find it. If you have a .mac account you can use the "backup" program to do that. The other way is third party programs that will backup any updated files to a remote computer on your network, or another drive. Probably the easiest though is just burning the files you need to save to DVDs or CDs. Someone else could probably explain this a whole lot better than me though, so give it a try.
    Oh! And just out of curiocity, how did the program not work? Did you get an error, or was the folder just too far gone to get back? If the lisence you purchaced is transferable, you might just want to sell it to someone here or on ebay. Good luck.

    In order to use your Apple ID to create an iCloud account, the primary email address associated with the ID must first be verified.  To do this, Apple will send a verification email to your account and you must respond to the email by clicking the Verify Now link.  Make sure you are check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

    Please help needed os x lion I wish to transfer photos from the iPhoto library to a album or folder then delete them from the Library but when I do this it also deletes them from the album ? how do I do this please.

    Albums are not places to store photos, they're more like "labels" you can apply to photos to better organize them. A single image file can be in multiple albums... they are not copies, it's simply been labelled as being in all those albums. So what you're trying to do doesn't make sense, because it's based on incorrect assumptions.
    The iPhoto library will always show all photos that you have added to iPhoto.

  • Please help -- How can I install flash player plugin (version 8) in browser without downloading setup or redirecting to macromedia site if flash plugin is not available in browser

    Via Javascripting. Look for Flash detection kits at the
    Adobe/Maromedia web
    site and also at Internet search engines.
    As well this forum focuses on database access issues and you
    might find more
    takers for this type of question in the Flash General forum.

  • PLEASE HELP! Trouble importing media used in Premiere CS6 into CC

    After infinitely trouble with stability in OSX Premiere CS6, I´ve tried to open my project in CC. I get a dialogue box when importing media with heading "Cannot Link Media" and saying "The selcted file cannot be linked because it has 2 audio channel(s) and the clip was created with 1 audio channel(s). Now, these clips had no issues in CS6, but after installing CC, I cannot open anything in CS6 and CC won´t, as stated, accept my clips. Now, I tried to uninstall CS6 to late reinstall it. But Adobe seems to have removed the installer, anyway I can´t find it. SERIOUSLY!. This is EXTREMELY frustrating. PLEASE HELP!

    I don't have any sure-fire solutions, but I do have a suggestion: rather than opening the whole CS6 project and going through the whole conversion process, try importing just the sequence(s) from the CS6 project into a new CC project. There are a couple of ways to do so: 1) File>Import, select "Import Selected Sequences," then pick the desired ones, or 2) drill down to the project in Media Browser, which will show you it's contents, then drag and drop the sequence(s) into the Project panel.
    I found a few bug reports in the same neighborhood. They were all fixed in the release you're using. But each was specific to a particular file type, so you may have hit on a case that we didn't exercise. It could really help us nail this down if you provided one small clip that CC is balking at and, ideally, a CS6 project containing that clip.

    Good luck, but they will tell you the same thing that anyone here will tell you.
    Unless the device was backed up (via iTunes or iCloud) after the pictures were taken but prior to deleting them on the device, they are gone.  There is no way to recover them once deleted without a backup.

  • Please Help, with re-sizing .swf video

    Hey I am switching to .FLV playback component .SWF embedded
    within my website. But for some reason it wont resize the way i
    want to. Example is
    http://www.clangearheads.com/Diablo3_GameTrailer_01.html
    . See how their is a black space and it is far from the top. I want
    to get rid of that or at least shorten it so it looks more prof.
    But when i try to resize the embedded video within dreamweaver it
    changes the size of the video, but i want the video footage the
    size it is right now. Please help me out, i just cant figure it
    out. Also when i import the video in flash, i make the canvas the
    same size as the video?
    Please help me out :)
    Thanks so much

    In Flash, you can size the FLV player component on your stage
    as you like. Then, change the size of the stage to be approximately
    the same size as the component. Position the component into the
    upper left corner of the stage so that you only have a minimal
    border of stage around the component. Publish your Flash movie.
    It should now fit more precisely into your html.
