Poster frame displays before FLVplayback

I embedded a video on my web site using Flash there's a minor
issue, the poster frame displays first then a couple of seconds
later the FLVplayback interface is displayed. How do I get it to
appear all at once? I'm guessing I might need some sort of preload
script or set some property.

Look into the preloader tutorial(s) found at
gotoandlearn.com. There should be one for AS3 and one for AS2
somewhere there.

  • No poster frame displayed on music videos

    Hi all,
    I have a 60 GB iPod video with cover art enabled and can see cover art when playing music. When playing music videos from the music side, I get no cover art. I understand that you're supposed to see the "poster frame" that you can change in iTunes. I asked this question when I first got my iPod video on 10/19 but didn't get a resolution. No other problems with it (except for the video fast-forward bug).
    Thanks for the help.
    Dana

    Thank you. I thought it was me. Another bug. What blows my mind is Apple releases an iPod updater on Nov. 30 that only fixes another shuffle bug, yet there are several iPod bugs and a glaring iTunes bug that still remains unfixed. What's up with that?

  • QuickTime, Internet Explorer 7 (IE7), and Poster Frames

    I've come across an interesting problem when using a QT poster frame in IE7. I have QT 7.1.3 and the most recent IE7 7.0.5700.6, RC1) running on Windows XP Pro.
    I'm embedding a poster frame movie in an HTML page. The HREF points to a regular QT movie file (or a Master movie file; it doesn't matter). The poster frame displays properly in IE7. When I click the poster frame to advance to the regular movie, I receive the "question mark" QT icon.
    This HTML page works fine in IE6 -- clicking the poster frame loads the regular movie, which then plays fine.
    Has anyone at Apple, or any forum member, experienced this problem and perhaps have a solution for it? Thanks very much.

  • Music Video displays wrong ARTWORK.  Displays a POSTER FRAME rather than the JPG that I have given it.

    I am using ITunes 11.05.5 on Windows 7 Professional.   Have thousands of videos ... MP4 Music Videos.   I make my own "ARTWORK" (on JPG per artist for all music videos by that artist).  I place the artwork in the file by "GET INFO", "ARTWORK", copy in my own JPG Image.    I confirm that there is only one image in the ARTWORK and that it is the correct image.   When I save and go back to the GET INFO everthing is fine.   When I view it in MS Explorer or in ID3-TAG the ARTWORK is also fine.   This process works fine for most everything but unexplainably fails and I can't fix it on certain occasions.   
    THE FAILURE:    Let me explain the problem that occurs on rare occasions (and once it occurs I can't ever fix it).   Lets say I have 5 music videos from the artist, John Jones.    I embed my own artwork (the same ARTWORK for all music videos from this same artist, John Jones) and all five videos group under the proper. same ARTWORK in the GRID VIEW.   Now, I obtain another music video from John Jones, once again I put the same ARTWORK on this file and now when I go into GRID VIEW it displays a POSTER FRAME (of that artist, John Jones) that I have never seen (although it must have come from the video since it is a POSTER FRAME of John Jones) .....  from that point on, all six music videos from John Jones also display that same ARTWORK (the wrong poster frame - but same poster frame for all John Jones music videos) even tho the first five were displaying properly before (but not longer).     It is as if a POSTER FRAME of John Jones is in cache and associated with the artist John Jones and can not be deleted.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling ITunes, but it doesn't work.    I have tried deleting the new Music Video that I added and that started the problem (number six); hoping the the original five would return to nomal ...  but that does not work.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
    tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
    just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

  • How do you set the Poster Frame to display on a webpage with Quicktime Pro?

    This is how the embed code is installed in HTML on my webpage. The Poster Frame image will not display when browsing the website in iPhone nor will the image display on the cached 8 image browser window in Google Chrome internet browser. Is there a way to include the poster frame or JPEG image in the embed code?
    embed -- start

    Mark, there's a very basic .NET method on every nullable object:
    GetValueOrDefault
    EDIT: Now I see...please avoid duplicating
    questions...
    To be clear:
    Put GetValueOrDefault on every nullable field used inside your 'TotalDue_Compute' sub
    You don't need to define 'TotalDue' as Nullable anymore

  • Can I choose the frame that displays before the viewer presses Play?

    I feel like I saw this in a tutorial, but now I can't find it again.
    Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, and thanks!

    Select the movie by clicking once upon it and, in iWeb Inspector's QuickTime pane, try adjusting the +Poster Frame+ slider.

  • How do I select the Poster Frame when exporting to video?

    PP CS6
    I cannot find how to select the frame that I want to appear as the Poster Frame in the exported video.
    I can select it I can change one by right clicking an imported video OK but not the sequence!
    I've been through every menu I can find & even Lynda.com training!
    I'm sure that there must be a way but I'm blowed if I can find it!!

    There are two common meanings for the phrase "poster frame":
    A standalone image on disk (JPG etc) which is displayed by a player before the video is loaded - commonly used by video player apps on websites (YouTube etc), InDesign and PDF files, etc. so the video asset doesn't have to be opened in order for the viewer to see what they're about to watch - although the image is normally captured from the video it doesn't have to be.
    An image resource embedded into the XMP/ID3 data of a video or audio file which can sometimes be shown in the player, but is normally set because it  appears as the thumbnail image when viewing the files in Finder or Windows Explorer. It's not part of the content stream, it's in the file header. In MP3 files it's used to store album artwork.
    You can create standalone JPEG images from PP using the camera icon below the monitor and can semi-automate the export of a still image alongside your video using presets in Adobe Media Encoder, but there's no option in PP (or via Adobe Media Encoder) to specify the embedded poster image in a rendered media file. Several third-party apps can do it, either during render (Compressor / Squeeze) or after the fact (Quicktime Pro), but support for these embedded resources depends on the wrapper for the video file.
    The ability to set a 'poster frame' in the clip bins in PP is solely there to help you organize your project assets visually - for example if the imported footage starts from black, or if you want to choose a frame where the slate is visible - but your choice has no effect on the sequences at export and isn't written back into the original footage.

  • Poster Frame and Trim Mode not working properly with post-synced clips

    Hi Everyone-
    Final Cut Pro seems to be doing something really odd and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced it and if so what is the fix:
    We are shooting a movie on Red with sound coming in on multitrack wav files. We downconvert the R3D files to Prores and then manually sync the tracks in the timeline.
    We link the pix and sound and drag them to the bin to make our dailies. They all play, in sync. When we try to set a poster frame the issues begin. If I load the clip into the browser park the playhead on a frame and choose poster frame, the actual frame in the bin is very noticably offset (often by a few seconds).
    Also, when I use the trim mode, the frames jump to a different part of the shot during trim. It's like the shot is jumping ahead or back while I hit the frame advance or recede buttons. Once I let go of the button the image jumps to the correct number of frames. But, it's very distracting if I am trying to trim, for example, to just before an actor blinks. I can't trim 1 frame at a time. I have to keep hitting the button, watching the picture jump to a different part of the shot, release the trim button and watch the picture jump back to the now correctly trimmed frame...
    As a test I took some of the Prores clips with scratch track sound and brought them into the bin directly from the finder, bypassing the syncing. Using those clips, the trim and poster frames work as expected. Obviously something is going on during syncing.
    I assumed maybe because the audio and pix we different lengths the clip was getting "confused", and didn't know where to "start". So, in the timeline with the synced clips, I razor bladed a few shots, linked them, and dragged them to the bin so the audio and video were the exact same length... Same issue.
    I have noticed the same behavior on 2 separate Macs so I don't think its a preference or corrupted install issue.
    Anyone seen this and have any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    David

    Yes, David, I'm having the same problem under the same circumstances. we're using merged clips made from Prores QTs and multitrk BWF files. In the trim window, the display frame jumps ahead considerably in a frame-by-frame trim, but trims accurately in the timeline. My only work-around has been to use the left/right scrub arrows in the trim window when necessary, which displays the correct frame. Sorry not to have an answer, but I saw a post on another forum from 2007 that speculated it was an FCP 6 bug. Resetting prefs doesn't help.

  • Creating a Simple Flash Movie With Poster Frame and Play/Pause Buttons

    Hi, It's been over a year since I played with Flash last, and
    I have completely forgotten everything I learned.
    I have a .flv file which I want to play on my website. It
    should display a poster frame when the page load, and not autoplay
    the movie. It should have the play button I made in photoshop
    sitting on top of the poster frame. When pressed, the movie should
    start playing and the button should be shifted for the pause button
    I made in PS (it should work just like the play/pause button in
    iTunes). When the movie has finished playing, it should jump back
    to the poster frame.
    I have tried using the flvplayback component and also played
    around with just embedding the flv directly and inserting a play
    and pause button from the common library, but I can't seem to get
    it to work. With the flvplayback component I have managed most of
    it apart from using my own buttons and getting the poster frame to
    work (which apparently has to be done with Action script).
    Any help appreciated.

    Which version of Flash/actionscript are you using? Since you
    are just starting out, you should read one of Adobe's tutorials on
    the matter. Either use Flash Help to find examples on how to use
    Flash or go to their website. Here is a great tutorial for someone
    just starting out. Make sure you read all three tutorials in "Using
    Flash for the first time".

  • How do I change a Quicktime poster frame in iweb?

    I have a quicktime movie on my iweb page that starts in black. I set a different poster frame in quicktime but it still displays as black until you play it in iweb and when it's published.
    Is there a way to change this poster frame in iweb so that it doesn't display a black frame before you play it?
    I guess I could edit one frame at the very beginning of the original movie but I would rather not have to do it that way.

    seen this thread?

  • Setting Poster Frame for H.264 Youtube HD video exported from Pr CC

    Hey All,
    I've searched many of the forums for an answer to this, but most of them refer to setting poster frames in encore/media encoder.
    I'm wanting to select a specific frame from the video i've created to be used as the poster frame (i.e. the frame that is displayed as the preview of the video before it is played to show the viewer the content of the video) on the video when it's uploaded, either to Youtube or Facebook etc. As i'm not using En or the Media Encoder, I'm wanting to do this directly from Premiere Pro CC.
    I'm sure I've seen/used a feature to select a poster frame within Pr before, but can't for the life of me remember or find where it is (if it is actually there at all).
    Can anyone provide any suggestions?

    Unfortunately Compressor, Quicktime X and Quicktime 7 can't play a Blu-ray .264 video files. This makes it hard to test your raw Blu-ray videos.
    I found an app that will plaback the Blu-ray .264 video file on a Mac, VideoSpec. It's a free app!
    http://videospec.free.fr/index.html
    Drop your Blu-ray .264 video onto the open window and hit the play button in the upper left. VideoSpec has the Mplayer incorporated into the app. I guess you could download the stand-alone Mplayer app. But, Videospec gives you more options, video info for example.
    What you could do to save on Blu-ray discs is to burn the Video onto a DVD for a test. You can only burn about 35 minute onto a DVD disc.

  • Listen for stream with a poster frame

    Hi,
    I am a newbie... I just got the whole live RTMP stream going, using the Flash Media Live Encoder, Red5 and the strobe Player.
    I have a poster Frame setup, now:
    I would like the user to see the posterframe when he opens the webpage, when I hit start on the FMLE I want the player to start the stream without the user having to refresh the browser or clicking the play button. If the stream gets stopped I would like the player to display the Poster again...
    I am using the player setup page.
    Is it possible, thank you very much for your help!

    Okay in Frame 1 I have an AS layer I copied your code into, layer two is the movie clip with the image named 'myPoster' and the third layer contains the FLV playback named 'myVideo' so I changed the names in the code to:
    mvVideo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,f):
    function f(e:MouseEvent):void{
    removeChil((myPoster);
    I get the following compiler errors and publish preview shows just the image:
    Scene1,Layer 'Action Script', Frame 1, Line 1 1078: Label must be a simple identifier.
    Scene1,Layer 'Action Script', Frame 1, Line 4 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before semicolon.
    So I tried modifying the code to:
    mvVideo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,f);
    function f(e:MouseEvent):void{
    removeChil((myPoster));
    Which fixed the original errors but still only the image shows and I get new compiler errors.
    Scene1,Layer 'Action Script', Frame 1, Line 4 1180:Call to a possibly undefined method removeChil.
    Scene1,Layer 'Action Script', Frame 1, Line 4 1120: Access of undefined property myPoster.
    Scene1,Layer 'Action Script', Frame 1, Line 1 1120: Access of undefined property myPoster.
    Thanks for your patience and help!

  • Video Poster Frames

    Hi Everyone,
    Can someone assist me please.  I'm trying to automatically auto-generate poster frames for videos.  Currently I have videos that's embeded into our site, before pressing play a blank screen is displayed.  I would like to have someway of going into the video for say 30 seconds and display that as the poster frame prior to pressing play.

    The YouTube preview images are created during the upload/encoding process.
    It has nothing to do with the YouTube player.
    Strobe Media Playback is a video player.
    There is no encoding process which can create and save an image.
    You may be able to automate the create-poster-image process on your server using FFMPEG.
    Search for "FFMPEG poster image" and you will find some methods using PHP for example.
    There was (may still be) a plug-in for JW Player for creating preview images.
    It involves a SWF plug-in file and some PHP code.
    I could not get it to work as there was little to no documentation.
    Perhaps for commercial subscribers they provide help to get it working.
    It may be possible to create a Strobe plug-in to do something similar.
    But the Strobe project seems to have gone dormant so you are definitely on your own for that one.
