Poster image for Brightcove or YouTube link

In my DPS app, I have a video link to the clients Brightcove video cloud. The HTML code is inserted as an HTML object which creates a black panel. Tapping the panel reveals the poster image with the video start arrow in the center, tapping arrow plays the video . It plays no problem.
The black panel is the problem. How can I eliminate that?
Have tried with YouTube embed code, and same effect.
Any ideas gratefully received.

So I wasn't going mad after all - Brightcove's player default is with greyed out image
"the overlay button is standard for all our HTML5 Players and this cannot be changed through the publishing code or the player settings. the main reason for this being there is to indicate the user that it is a clickable image that loads the video. If you wish to replace that image, you would have to implement some custom code that would display the image of your choice above The Brightcove player and add some action to replace the image with the video when it is being clicked. An example of this you can find here:
http://distractedtype.com/test/replaceImage.html
It uses some javascript to make one div with the BC publishing code visible, when the image has been clicked."

Default poster image for each exported video

Anyone know of a way to change the default "poster image" of each video that is exported to the MobileMe web gallery? The default icons that show up for each movie in my gallery aren't very good and I'd like to change to a different frame if possible. I know you can do this easily for photo albums by setting the key photo but cant find a similar way for videos. Maybe there is a setting in iMovie that I'm missing?

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.

How Set Video Poster Frame (Image) for Intro Media?

iBooks Author Mavens,
How can the Poster Frame (aka, Poster Image) for the Intro Media segment of an iba video be set?
Irrespective of anything I do with the Widget Inspector...such as attempting to move the Poster Frame to a frame at the desired ~7 second point (in a ~10 second clip)...iBA keeps resetting the Poster Frame to ~2.5 seconds (not wanted).
Very, very frustrating...suggestions?
Many, many thanks!
Plane Wryter

If you use a video in any place but intro, will your iBA let you choose and keep any poster frame setting you like?

Video files show very low resolution poster image

Using Indesign CC and the latest tools and content viewer I am creating Autoplay video animations for the cover of our weekly magazine.
With each issue I have published the same problem occurs where the poster image for the video file is very low resolution and makes our content look very amateur (for a brief moment) before playing the video file at full resolution.
I have tried creating animations using flash, photoshop and Edge Animate, exporting MP4, MOV and OAM files. The problem is present with all movie files and with the Edge animation files a white flash appears before the file plays.
Is there a solution for either of these issues? We are looking to continue to use animations for our covers and need them to look 100% crisp and clean.

Sorry to jump in but I'm having the same issue too!
I have an H.264 mp4 which I created in After Effects and inserted using the Media panel within DPS.
As you see below, it plays on page load and I have chosen the finished front cover to be the poster image when it ends from within the Folio Overlays panel. I have set the video to stop on the last page.
When the video stops you can see all the artifacting around the text which I would expect to be as crisp as the original PSD file I uploaded as the poster image.
Is there anything I'm doing wrong or is there anything that can improve the quality of the final still?

Poster image not centering in browser

My poster image (for viewing in IE8) is not centering in the browser window. It's displaying as left aligned with a big gap to the right of the image. How do I fix?

Thank you Hemanth, that is exactly what I am referring to. One final question though, as I am by no means an HTML guru...do I add the snippet while I'm in Edge or do I open the HTML file in Dreamweaver and add the code there?
If in Edge, where do I access the code to add it (and where does it go)?
If in Dreamweaver...here is the code for my file, where would I place the snippet?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
          <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
          <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"/>
          <title>Untitled</title>

    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="FEA2014_Invite_edgePreload.js"></script>
    <style>
        .edgeLoad-EDGE-450331542 { visibility:hidden; }
    body {
          background-color: #000000;
    </style>

</head>
<body style="margin:0;padding:0;">
          <div id="Stage" class="EDGE-450331542">
          </div>
</body>
</html>
I GREATLY appreciate this advice!
Many thanks,

Poster images being created automatically

In the last few test animations I've created, a poster image is being created without me wanting it! Have I inadvertantly checked something that creates a poster image for me? Coz I want to switch it off! It's a real pain as once the poster is created it's impossible to get a .OAM to start with a "blank/transparent" start with out actually creating a blank transparent .png file.
Or is this a glitch, any thoughts?
Cheers
Alistair

Hi Elaine
Hmm, not sure I can agree with that, though I say that most humbly!
I've been creating lots of circles that flip, and as they go on a image background they need to have a transparent background, so I've not selected a poster image, and its been fine until maybe last week, I just found all of a sudden that a poster image was being created, it's actually easy to fix by just opening the poster image that has been created and delete the content and make it transparent, but my point is that I haven't had to do that.
Darrell I've been looking for adding a poster in the publish setting, I seem to remember it in V1, but has it not disappeared in V1.5?
The only different thing at the moment is I'm using 2 different png's for the front and back flip, where as when I didn't have a problem I was using 2 circles created in animate, with live text one side and an illustration for the other side, anyway I can't see why that would make a difference, but you never know!

Export option for highest quality posting to Google video and YouTube

I'm trying to figure out what the best export options are for posting video on Google Video and YouTube. My primary interest is skiing video with quick actions. Here are the 5 options I tried on my iMovie HD 6, the latest and the greatest:
MPEG4, LAN
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2913246368993273712
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL6RHKXydhQ
MPEG4, LAN, High Quality
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1920438333553484589
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0myAYyBx0k
Quicktime, LAN, 320x240, Deinterlace
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2101048758986639008
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rExhbmBksVs
Quicktime, LAN
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8289794703671829891
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-nwmyJ-y_g
Quicktime, LAN, Deinterlace
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1116022416411494165
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4Wch75hTzs
You can get the whole list on each site with following URL
http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=imovie-quality-comparison
http://www.youtube.com/my_playlists?p=C0D08A3D961234E4
Each video has cross reference URL in the description which link to the same video posted on other site.
Currently my choice is "Quicktime, LAN, Deinterlace" on Google Video. Only thing I don't like is doubling of image for fast moving part, which somehow disappears if I reduce the size to 320x200, but then it is too blurry when displayed in full screen.
None is usable on YouTube. They look horrible, but there are much better quality videos on YouTube.
Since there are so many knobs to play around on each option, I'm at loss what to play around with. I did quick things like increasing the size to 720x480 or increasing the frame rate, but surprisingly, none seems to make any difference when filtered through their encoder.
I like to solicit suggestions on what option to try. I'll export the same video with that options, upload it to both sites and we can take a look.

Hi — I also found you via Slashdot. You've gone to a good amount of effort to solve this scientifically.
I'm just here to say: Face it, you need to go past the built-in options. Here's what you need to know:
1. YouTube is 320x240 (or 320 by anything lower, for widescreen). You must scale to that.
2. YouTube is 30fps maximum, so if you already have that, set that. If you have 25 or 24, use that. If you have 50, it looks better with 25 (I've tried).
3. The interlacing choice is purely up to your original video. Does it have 480 lines or 576 lines? And if so, does it have fluid "live camera" motion, unlike film? If your answer is yes to both, then you have interlacing. Since YouTube doesn't do interlacing, you need to remove it.
4. Both YouTube and Google Video have a problem with the (seemingly open, standard) MP4 format. We think it's because of the VLC software they used. Anyway, use a QuickTime MOV file for the wrapping container, so export to QuickTime Movie (not MPEG-4). But use the H.264 codec. It's good.
OK, that's it. It's your pretty complete, simple guide to making good YouTube videos.
Don't forget to use a tripod and external microphones, and lay off using the zoom too much. That's my other advice, for earlier in the process. Now you've learnt everything technical The rest is only down to viral marketing and you can learn all that by example out on YouTube.
CK.

Embed a web link into an image for email

How can I post a Youtube link via my FB app as an embed video?

The question is in the topic title. I want to post on my wall (or on a friend wall) a YouTube link via my FB app in order to be seen directly through the standard YouTube player (as happens via PC, just to be clear). How to do that? Suggestions?

Hello coldpatrix,
Welcome to the forums.
There is no supported way to embed a video to Facebook® using the Facebook for BlackBerry application. The only option you have is to post the link which will then take you to YouTube to see the video.

How to get a poster or preview image for my flv file

I am trying to find out how I can get a static image to show in my flvplayer before someone presses the play button to view the video.
Details:
I am brand new to flash, videos, .flv files, flash players, etc. I am very experienced with Dreamweaver, however.
I had a DVD video. I converted it from DVD to a .flv file. In Dreamweaver, I inserted the .flv file into my web page using Insert - FLV. It added the nifty little flv player with the skins. Everything is working perfectly, except prior to the user clicking play, the video shows just a black screen. I'd like to replace that with a placeholder image (poster image??).
Here is the page: http://ilovestraightteeth.webscapersites.com/treatments/incognito-braces.shtml
Is there simply a parameter I add to the object/ embed code? Or do I need to edit the video? Or otherwise? Any help would be appreciated, I'm being bounced from one forum to the next all over the place.
I've got the adobe cs4 suite, if that information is helpful/relevant. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Nancy - that definitely helped! But -- again, I'm totally new to this, so another probably silly question....
I followed the tutorial and totally got all of that, was able to add my poster frame, tested it, it all worked great. But now my video is in a .fla file; the option to export to FLV is not there. I need to get the video onto my web page now. So I tried exporting it as a .swf file, and then returned to Dreamweaver to insert the .swf file onto the page. I did an insert - SWF, the placeholder showed up, but when I tried to preview, I only got a blank white screen. I went to the Dreamweaver help files to see if I inserted it wrong, but I followed step by step and did it just as it said. (incidentally, a few days ago I tried insterting a different SWF file and the same thing happened).
(a) do you know why my SWF file is not showing up/previewing?
(b) is there a different file format I should have exported after I finished the tutorial for adding the poster image, when I had the functional .fla file?
Thanks again. I really appreciate the response.

Display image for BLOB Download link in Interactive Report

I have a table containing BLOB data and am displaying the table in an interactive report. I would like to replace the "Download" text link with an icon that represents the MIME type of the BLOB, but can't seem to find a way to make the substitution. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.
-Jeff

Hey Ben,
Thanks for the suggestion. I understand what you are saying, the problem is that when you have an interactive report that includes a BLOB and you use the built-in method for displaying a download link, it only gives you the option of using a text link. The method is outlined in the online help under:
Home > Advanced Programming Techniques> About BLOB Support in Forms and Reports > About BLOB Support in Reports
This is done by using the following syntax in the Number/Date Format of the column attribute of the BLOB:
DOWNLOAD:CC_DOCUMENTS:CONTENTS:ID::MIME_TYPE:FILENAME:UPDATED_ON::attachment:View
Where the last parameter is the link text. The only problem is that there is no option for substituting an image rather than the link text. That's what I'm trying to work around. Sorry if you new all of this already, but I wanted to explain what I've already done. Thanks for any help you can offer.
