Presenter Slides with Video Buffer forever

We have several Adobe Presenter presentations hosted on Rustici Cloud, and the problem we have is that each slide buffers for a second or two before playing. But the real issue is that slides with mp4 video in the slide, appear to buffer forever.
These courses were originally authored in Presenter 7, and then recently opened and edited in Presenter 8 to make small changes. It appears that once the course was published in Presenter 8, the buffering issues began.
Anyone ever experienced similar and any ideas for how to fix it?

Presenter 8 changed the default setting for controling pre-loading of flash content. In 7 and older, there was no limit on preloading content, unless you set it. In Presenter 8, the default is to disable the pre-loading for Flash content (SWF, FLV, MP4). This is what is likely causing each slide to buffer and the videos to have a long buffer. You can change this setting in Adobe Presenter > Settings > Quality and it will be the option in the image below. Un check it and then republish.

Exporting a slide with video content

I started a slide show in keynote. A few of my slides have video content. I am trying to export my slides so that I can edit them in iMovie. It's harder than I thought. When I export it, the video content does not play because it exports a picture of the slides. How do I export my slides with video content so that it still plays when I bring it to iMovie. I already tried making that slide a Quicktime movie with no luck. Maybe I missed something in that process. Thanks for any help you can provide.

You need to export from Keynote as Quicktime using either Fixed timing (in which case you specify enough time per slide for all the builds to complete) or using Recorded timing.
You can read more about the different Quicktime Export options in the Keynote help menu: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Keynote/5.0/en/kyntc6c24df4.html
Hope that helps.

Posting lots of slides with video slow playback to a halt

In our slide of about 50 slides, when we have one video slide, it plays ok, but each slide we add after, makes the captivate play slower and slower. In this case, we have about a dozen slides with video, and with all video slides in, the playback is not useable. Video is set to progressive video download and are only a few meg in size
How can we handles several slides with video?
Thanks

This sounds like a bandwidth issue.
Do you encounter the same slow playback issue if you publish the course to your local PC and play the course from your hard drive? If not, the issue isn't likely CPU-related.
If local playback is also slow, your CPU/RAM resources might be unable to keep up with decoding your video at it's current compression or size. You might need to use smaller, lighter video.
If you want to see whether or not your issue is related to bandwidth limitations, download the Charles web debugging proxy software (http://www.charlesproxy.com/download/) and use this to watch the actual downloads in progress for the videos in your course. If you see that Captivate is downloading more than one video at a time, this might explain why things start to bog down. You might need to restructure your course so that each video is downloaded separately as the user comes to it. At worst, tThis could require breaking your course into more modules.

Keynote slides with video - not linking in Ibooks Author

Hi
I have a problem with linking Keynote slides containing videos in Ibooks author. I am using the latest version of both programs on Yosemity (6.5.2 keynote, Ibooks Author 2.2 )
The keynotes is set up with ‘Links Only’ and it works perfectly in Keynote. In Ibooks author the ‘link only’ is not working and the slides just progresses to next one. Like the Presentation type was set to normal, whether or not I press the link or outside the link. The exact same keynote slides without the video doesn’t have this problem and links perfectly in Ibooks Author. The result is the same testing the Ibook directly on the Mac or on the Ipad Air (8.1.2)
To make sure about the video types I tried a number of different ones (different Mac/Ipad video conversion programs) all with the same result. The result is also the same whether it plays ‘on page’ or ‘full-screen’ in the Ibook. The videos all plays perfectly but the links are not working.
Saving the keynote to 09 seemed to solve the problem. I am new to Ibooks author …. And the whole Mac environment. But I am thinking it’s supposed to work without having to do this????
The same happened when I tested a linked keynote example from Lynda.com. ‘Ibooks essential training’. Only in the 09 version it was working with the links, when the slides had videos. This example was off course also created in an earlier Keynote version.

This is a problem that I've reported both here and via bugreport.apple.com. However, I don't think that it has to do with screen resolution (retina/non-retina). Rather, I think it has to do with setting the widget to "full screen" where transport controls cannot be used and selecting a "Links Only" presentation.
I used simple forward and back arrows set (Control-click on object) to go to next slide or previous slide. What I found was that while this works as designed when played back in Keynote (OS X or iOS) but not in the Keynote widget. The links only setting and these hyperlinks are totally ignored in the Keynote widget. Tapping anywhere went to the next slide. Tapping on the back arrow also went to the next slide,

How to go to the next slide on click during a slide with video playing? (for export QT)

Hi,
I have a keynote presentation that i want to export in QT at the end.
I have a slide 1 with just a video in full screen.
I wish i could go to the slide 2 at any time of slide 1 video.
It work in keynote when i launch the slideshow but not in QT export !!!
In qt export, the video of slide 1 play from the start to the end and i can't click to go to next slide !!!
Is it possible ?
Thank.
Toto.

i can't click to go to next slide
Using Keynote version 6.3, there is no setting in QT export to manually advance.
The only choice is self - playing.

Recording Ppt presentation interspersed with video clips on DVD

I want to record a live presentation I make with Powerpoint slides interspersed with shots of me and video clips. Is this possible with iDVD version 7.0.4?

Welcome to the forums.
If you'd like all that to be integrated, you probably want to look into iMovie. In general, iDVD handles the output from iMovie and creates DVDs, but iMovie allows the producer (you) to cut between shots of ppt slides, you, video clips, etc. Here are several tutorials which may be of interest:

Advance to slide with video already playing

A client wants to be able to advance to a slide with the video already playing, this is for a live presentation, normally done by rolling in video from tape and using switcher to cross fade from text to moving video.
Any solutions would be appreciated
Thanks
mac pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to the discussions, Magneticone.
If all you want is the equivalent of a crossfade, it can be accomplished quite easily.
In Keynote, video can play behind other objects, and can be set to play immediately upon slide transition. These two features allow you to emulate a cross-fade.
Set up the first slide in its final state, and take a screenshot of it at its full-size (100%). Set the transition to the next slide as "None" (the default).
On the second slide, insert your video file, and set it to play immediately after the slide transition (this is the default). Now, place the screenshot on top of the video image, align it so that it exactly matches the first slide, and give it a Dissolve build out, to run immediately (or with whatever delay you want) after the slide transition.
What will happen is that the first slide with transition to the second "invisibly", since the same image is on both. Once the second slide appears, the video behind the screenshot will start playing, and the screenshot will then fade to reveal the already-playing video. The effect will be of a slide crossfading with video.
(As is often the case with Keynote, it is helpful not to first approach presentation problems in terms of actual "slides", but instead in terms of what the effect should be. Many time you can fool the audience into seeing more or fewer "slides" than are actually used in the presentation, and this can make achieving certain effects possible, or easier.)

Problems using Flash Presentation / Slide with IE

I have created a slideshow using the Flash presentation /
slide component. All images are the same size. When the movie loads
in Firefox, the slide show works fine. However in IE, the first
image is loaded off center. The top left corner of the image is
placed in the center of the screen. All subsequent images load
fine. This is an intermittent problem as it does not happen all the
time.
Has anyone seen this problem and know of a solution.
Thanks in advance.

Is this Virtual Credit Card Number software a website or a stand alone application? If stand alone, then I would recommend installing the Active X (Internet Explorer) version that you can download here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions

Question Slide with video

Hi, I'm trying to create a question slide that has 2 videos and then a queston to display after the user has watched both videos, however, the question displays at the beginning when the slide is viewed and stays showing. There does not seem to be a Timing option to Appear After so many seconds.
Is there a way to do this

You are correct that you cannot time the captions and other elements on a quiz slide as you can with other slides. If you must use a quiz slide, your better strategy is to place the videos on a slide before the quiz question and only progress to it after watching the videos.

I facilitate a lot of workshops and working sessions where Iuse presentation software. What I want to be able to do is "draw" on the presentation slides with a tool which will allow the drawing to be seen on screen and captured as mark ups or notes.

Can anyone suggest the right software / tool? I am thinking that if the presentation was run on an Ipad it might be possible to have an app which can be used to "mark-up" the slides so that it can be seen on screen for all to see and capture the markings so that you can leverage the mark-ups as notes for changes to be made based on the working session. Can anyone suggest a successful way of accomplishing this?

It's not something I've ever done. But SlideJockey:

... or Power Presenter:

... look like they might be worth investigating.

Moving Keynote Presentation to a Video Podcast

I have a Keynote presentation that I would like to record with narration, manually advance slides in sync with the narration, then move the combined narrated Keynote to a video podcast where viewer can see the slides and hear the narration.
Have tried moving it to GarageBand but it seems to throw up on the audio, won't take it in either the 'copy audio' or 'mix audio' options.
iMovie seems a logical choice but text on the slides (which look great in Keynote) all look out of focus in iMovie, either the new one or iMovieHD. Some fonts help this situation but none look anywhere as clear as the original Keynote. Went to One on Ones and no help there.
This does not seem like an off the wall application of Keynote to me but a logical extension for 'distance learning'. Has anyone done this successfully with text /photo slides with narration? how about slides with video clips as well?

Presenter 10 versus video express

Hi, I am trialling presenter 10 as part of a team of 30 plus trainers. I tried to use presenter 10 to record video but encounter an unexpected error. I then opened video express manually and recorded successfully, though adobe video express does crash a lot.
Questions: How are Presenter 10 and Adobe Video express related? Are they two differed products? Can I purchase them separately?
Can I use presenter 10 to record some slides audio only and then turn on video express to capture the video introduction so I can publish to MP4.

I have tried the remove and re-add and it makes no difference. I can't now get the Presenter presentation with video in mp4 format to display or play. I am not sure if it is there or not as when viewing on an iPad it says it is buffering but never actually stops buffering. I can see it on my computer fine and it plays fine, but some of the reason for publishing to html 5 is so as it can be seen by people using tablets. I just can't seem to get it to work no matter what I try.
So to recap:
1. using a presentation published using an older version of Presenter that contains flv videos
2. republishing the presentation using Presenter 10 to a Connect Content Library using HTML 5
3. have to convert the flv to mp4
4. on a computer using a variety of browsers the presentation plays fine.
5. on a tablet (iPad tried at this stage) the slides without video plays fine, the slides with video just continually says buffering
On the second point of Presenter throwing up an error message, it's not so much that it throws up the error message as I can cancel that. It's more to do with the fact that it throws it up each time I try to publish a presentation that includes video that is of a certain duration. I have followed the whole kill the process as suggested and while this does indeed stop the problem it just comes back when I open PowerPoint again and try to publish.

Looping Slideshow with Videos. How please?

Hi
I just downloaded Keynote 09 as 08 did not support 1920x1080 Res. I'm pretty au-fait with Keynote but I'm a bit stuck with something.
I'm trying to create a looping slideshow with images and text and also videos. I want the slide show to just run on it's own without any clicking of buttons at all
The problem I have is that when I click play,the Presentation starts off fine, and shows the first few pages with static images and text, but when it gets to the pages with Video on, it plays the video for five seconds then moves on to the next slide, I don't want the slides with Videos on to move to the next one until the video has finished, how can I do this? I've looked at "recording a slideshow" but have been unable to fathom how that helps.
An answer would be much appreciated.
Thank You.

A few different ways about this. You could split the slide show into smaller sections that are withi the limits for posting and then post each section.
You could try a different encoding to make the file smaller. What settings did you use when you created and exported the slide show?

How do I get my project with video onto my website?

I just want to be able to upload my project, which is a mixture of slides with video. There seems to be multiple ways to upload, but I don't know which method to use over another and while I've tried doing so the videos don't work.
So I tried again and tried to link my videos that I currently host on Amazon S3 into my project, but it won't let me do that. Is there a way to do that? If I can't use Amazon S3, where should I host my videos? What am I doing wrong??
I'm using Captivate 7 (32 bit)
I've slides with audio added and videos embedded as a video object.
Much of Captivate is very easy and intuitive to create projects, but I want to get this up online.
Maybe I'm completely missing the point and it's really easy, but I'm now so confused I don't know what to do.
A simple guide to uploading a project would be very helpful.
Thanks

Have you tried bouncing yet? Underneath your Main Stereo Outs there is a little button for Bouncing. Hit that and a menue will open. Choose the format you want to bounce (44.1/16 Bit perhaps) and set the beginning and end point of your Song. If you setup a cycle for the whole length of the Song it will automatically take the Locators as the the Bounce In and Out Points. There is also the option "add to iTunes Library" in that menue, so choose that and later burn a CD from your iTunes library.

OK , I have my instructional coaches creating power point presentation add audio to each slide with the presenter 10 add ins. I need these presentation converted into MP4 like you can do with adobe presenter video creator.

Love the Adobe products first. OK , I have my instructional coaches creating power point presentation add audio to each slide with the presenter 10 add ins. I need these presentation converted into MP4 like you can do with adobe presenter video creator.

If you import the PPT deck into Captivate it will not bring the audio from Presenter. But you can import it into Captivate after the slide deck has been imported. The audio files aren't necessarily named in a logical fashion in the source files for the presentation, so I would recommend that you publish the presentation locally and then find the 'data' folder in the published output and the audio files will be named in a way that you can infer the slide they are associated with. Not the simplest proceedure but it should be pretty painless.
