Problem importing Adobe Connect recording into Captivate 6.0

Hello,
Not having found something about this via search, I'm asking the question. I am in tech support for University of Missouri-Extension and we use Connect and create many recordings for later share. I am able to import these FLV recordings into Captivate 5.0, but not 6.0 which we've just purchased. I get the message; "Video encountered an internal error." Is this a known problem with a work-around, or something new? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.
Steve

Hi Steve,
Do you have audio in these recordings? If yes, can you try and use Adobe Media Encoder to encode these to a different format and then try re-importing.
You should be able to import the file this way, however, you audio might not come across.
Sorry about, we have shared the problem ahead.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Problem importing adobe premiere project into After effects CS6

I've been working in Adobe's premiere and after effects for quite a few years now and this problem is new to me.
I'm working on a project in After Effects CS6 and want to import a premiere pro project into After Effects. I go -> File -> import -> adobe premiere project
Select project
Select sequence
Now After Effects CS6 imports all files from the premiere pro project like before in CS5, but now also imports the videofiles as sequences at the root in my project panel and messes everything up. Before it usually imported nice and tidy with the same folder structure as the premiere pro project would have.
But that isn't the main problem. When i open the sequence i wanted to import and work on, some clips have been shortened down to 1 FRAME LONG at the end. These clips have a 500% speed in premiere pro, but this has never been a problem before, after effects has always before been able to translate the speed variations in clips from premiere -> after effects.
The adobe premiere project that was imported is a 60 sec promo with various clips in various formats (Gopro h264, dv pal quicktime etc). Footage not exceeding the fair amount that after effects should handle. 15-20 videfiles at 30 sec each.
I've never had this problem before with premiere <-> after effects.
Anyone?

I just found the solution!
In my adobe premiere project that i was trying to import, some of the clips were "right clicked" and applied "Scale to frame size"
Every videoclip that had "scale to frame size" in my adobe premiere pro sequence would import as its own composition in After Effects rather than just a videofile, and some of the clips would be trimmed down to be invisible.
So if you have any problem with a clip not importing correctly into a sequence in after effects, check to make sure "scale to frame size" is not applied to the clip in premiere pro.
I removed the scale to frame size in the premiere project and now everything imports fine into after effects.
Sorry for the post.

Adobe Connect Pro to Captivate

I recorded a presentation with PowerPoint slides in Adobe Connect Pro. Now I need to edit the slides in the recording. Can I import the recording into Captivate to do some editing? If so, please give me some instructions. Thanks.

From what I can recall I don't think that you can edit Recordings created in Adobe Connect Pro using the FMR editor in Adobe Captivate.
Best regards,
Mark

Import PowerPoint with animations into Captivate 4 ?

Can anyone let me know if it is possible to import a PowerPoint presentation into Captivate 4 AND keep all the PowerPoint animations exactly as created in the original PowerPoint ?
If this is not possible, what are the options ?
Thanks in advance,
Noel

Hi Noel
I think the PowerPoint to Captivate conversion is a mixed bag. Mostly, I believe folks will be disappointed with the process.
Certain animations seem to survive the conversion and others seem to fail. But the bottom line here is that we are taking a file created by a Microsoft application, sucking it into an Adobe application and expecting the result to work without a hitch. And I'm not sure how often we will see this work flawlessly. I mean, it's not unlike removing an engine from a Fiat and expecting it to seamlessly bolt up and work in a Volvo. There will be stumbling blocks.
To be honest, I'm amazed it works as well as it does.
The only way I'm aware of to create a Captivate that behaves exactly as the PowerPoint behaves is to present the PowerPoint show in a window. Then use Captivate to surround the window and record it using FMR as the PowerPoint does its thing. Any other way is likely going to result in having to fudge things here and there and tweak them to make them work as desired. Possibly even re-creating things here and there in Captivate.
Cheers... Rick

: how can I import mp3s from my gmail account into my iTunes application so that I can import audio for recording into GarageBand ?

Save the file from Gmail onto your computer and add it to iTunes. How you save from Gmail is a Gmail question (their own support pages), not an iTunes question.

How to import an Engage interaction into Captivate 6?

Can someone please advise how to import an Engage interaction into Captivate 6?

Welcome to the forum,
Articulate Engage interactions are still AS2, if it hasn't changed recently since I checked last time. This means that you cannot insert them as an animation. However, you should search on the Articulate forum (always pointed at so much better than this one ) because there is an explanation how you can insert them as webobjects.
If this still is indeed AS2, too bad, but Articulate should urgently upgrade to AS3,

Adobe Connect recording / playback problems

Hello
we use a Adobe Connect 9.2 Server and have problems with our Recordings. The Recordings show the Right Runtime in Adobe Connect Administration. But if we Playback the Recording, it is much longer than the Orginal. The Reason is, that the Recordning freezes a serveral Times und serval Seconds or minutes. So thats why the Recording is longer than it is really is. So have anyone these Problems, or how could we resolves these Problems. It works last year, but since 6 months we got these Problem. Hopefully someone can help us.
best regards

Sorry, this is not an answer but...
I have a couple of clients with similar issues. We have a hosted licence (on Adobe servers). Client has have Flash 10.3 and IE 10 but seemingly since the upgrade to Connect 9.0 they are struggling to watch some recordings. They freeze very early on or start just as a black screen and no more or revert to the start after a few seconds. Older recordings made with 7.5 or 8 are ok.
Bizarre, but a real pain and likely to mean they stop being a client as we cannot offer the recordings.
It would be great if someone could help with this...

FYI - Importing Translated XML (XLIFF) into Captivate 5

I just want to make a point about an issue I've come across when translating a Captivate 5 project.
On exporting to XML - which is actually a mono-lingual XLIFF format in reality, this is where the problems start.
A true XLIFF file contains both source and target tags which is what happened to me when I used the file in a translation application.
On importing back into Captivate I couldn't see my translated text - the file was converted to a true XLIFF format (source and target tags).
So even thou the target had my translations Captivate was only concerned with the source tags!
I had to write a batch script then to change around the source/target tag content.
Hopefully this will help someone who's come across this in the future.
I think Adobe should include a target tag identifier on importing so the user can choose the language they want to import back in.
It just seems strange having translations inside a <source> </source> tag!
My 2 cents anyway,
Keith

Hi everyone.
Is there any update and support in Adobe Captivate 8 of XLIFF 2.0 ?
I have to write an interactive tutorial that I want to be able to offer for localization while updating the software itself.
That means I am looking for language updates. To volunteer translators I don't want to offer full re-writes of PO or XML files.
Please advice.

How to import multiple xml records into PDF form

Our organization needs to print and distribute serveral hundred PDF forms to our members. We want to populate the names and some other basic info at the top of each form so the member can fill in the rest and sign and return it. I have the one page form set up with the fields and it's connected to an xml schema data source. When I import the xml file it reads the first record and that's it - how do I get it to read all of the xml records into a copy of the form for each record in the xml data source file so we can print and discribute the forms? We are using Acrobat 9 Pro on a Windows 7 32 bit machine.
Thanks

Is this a form created with Acrobat or LiveCycle?
Acrobat would need uniquely named fields for each individual's page or pages if they are all in one file.
If you are processing one PDF file per individual, I would look at splitting the XML or FDF file into a record for each individual and them populating each individual's PDF form.
You could even use a tab delimited file and a template to populate the PDF template and then spawn a new page from the template.
With LiveCycle I would look at using a database for the variable data.

When importing a flash animation into captivate flash will not call external files

Is there a way to import flash into captivate and it still be able to call external files (ie. sound, video xml)? When I import flash into captivate it will not call any external file.

Hi all
Wow, I was so hoping fellow Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst would pop in on this thread.
Why? Well, Paul sent me a way cool gizmo a while back that hacked the Info button. It used an external file for some of the information! So somehow Paul managed to sort what it took to insert a Flash object into Captivate and have that object extract data from an externally located file.

Problems importing - cannot connect

Hi
Im having problems importing pics into iPhoto .. basically my library worked fine up til recently. I house my photos on a PC server and use iPhoto to organize them by importing them over my wifi network. This worked fine until I recently renamed my wifi for unrelated reasons.. now, I cannot view a pic full size within iPhoto as it tries to connect to 192.168.0.2 (the PC) and cannot. Now, this address is fine, I can manually connect to a server, so i'm wondering if iPhoto has some hidden logon settings somewhere?
To complicate matters further, eve if i store photos locally on the mac HD they fail to import with the same "connection failed..." error - even though it should not be going to the network folder!
Help!
Jon

I house my photos on a PC server and use iPhoto to organize them by importing them over my wifi network.
So you were running a Referenced Library where the files are not copied to the Library on import? In this scenario iPhoto makes an alias to the actual location of the files. Unfortunately aliases are very limited and once the path to the files changes - especially when the files are on different volume - you're going to have trouble.
Some folks have had success using an app like [FileBuddy|http://www.skytag.com/filebuddy> to reattach broken aliases, however, I've no idea as to its capabilities across a wireless network to an PC server.
I suspect the problem importing is also related to the same problem. When iPhoto imports a pic it does a Duplicate Check against files already in the Library and if it cannot connect to them well then it cannot do the check, and then it won't import.
A simple test will confirm (or undermine) my suspicion: create a new Library (Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library') and see if you can import to it.
Bluntly, iPhoto's abilities to run Referenced Libraries across volumes are poor. I wouldn't use it in that scenario. For the set up you describe Aperture is a much more robust option.

Microphone recommendations for recording into Captivate 4?

Hello. Can you tell me what microphone you use to record directly into Captivate 4 (on Windows XP) that works properly and plays back as it should? I am having audio issues with C4 using a Rode Podcaster. I know it's not the microphone as it works with other applications. I know it is something with C4 and I have tried several workarounds to no avail (such as the one found http://bdld.blogspot.com/2009/03/fixing-sound-in-adobe-captivate.html[L=Link). If you have a microphone you've used with C4 that works, please reply to this post as I would like to see if I will have success with a different mic. Please do not respond here if you have an audio workaround, a .dll fix, or anything else to troubleshoot audio.
Thanks,
Casey

Hi Casey
I use a Microsft LifeChat headset microphone and it seems to work well.
However, I will also toss out a note about something I encountered a few weeks ago in a Captivate class. We were using Intel based Macintosh PCs. Captivate seemed to refuse to record until we first clicked Audio > Settings and specifically yselected the microphone.
Probably won't be that easy in your case but thought I'd mention it. Who knows?

Problem with inporting Flash buttons into Captivate

Hello
I have tried looking around for the fix to this issue, I think I have seen the problem sorted, but not how they have done it.
The problem is that i have made an interface using flash, and inported the SWF into Captivate, this is just a simple pop up menu with buttons and hyperlinks. The issue that I have come accross is that when I come to close the pop up (inside the flash swf) if there is a captivate button behind it it will click this as well. I was wondering if there was a line of AS3 coding that I can add so that when the pop up is loaded it will disbale all the captivate buttons, mouse interactions etc.
Not sure if this should be here or in the flash forum, but as its a captivate/flash issue ive posted it here.
Thanks in advanced for any replies

Hi,
Download and install ActiveX if you use Internet Explorer.
You need to install plug-in if you use Firefox, Opera, or Safari.
The following link has step-by-step information: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_heading_5
Also, after installing ActiveX, ensure that you disable ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer. See the following link for details: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_

Problems running Adobe Connect add-in under XenApp

This is a real stab in the dark but it's a serious problem for us. Something has changed recently with Adobe Connect that means the add-in (adobeconnectaddin.exe) is hanging at the "Connecting" prompt. We're running Windows 2003 Terminal Server with Citrix XenApp v5 on top.
I suspect it's a problem with Flash acceleration features baked into HDX Flash, part of XenApp but it used to work. Flash v11.3 or higher broke HDX Flash but I don't think that's the problem as I've gone back to a very basic XenApp build with nothing much apart from the OS, XenApp, Flash v11.2.202.235 and the latest add-in - same crash occurs. If I happen to logon to the console using RDP, the fault doesn't occur hence my reason for suspecting it's the Citrix Receiver client/HDX Flash/Adobe Connect Pro add-in nightmare combo!
But considering I've gone back to an earlier image of XenApp (we keep copies of all builds) from February where Adobe Connect used to work fine, I suspect something has now changed with ACP that's broken it on XenApp.
As I said, it's a shot in the dark because this is a relatively unusual set-up and we're on an old version of XenApp/Windows as well.
But help!
Cheers, Rob.

Rob, it sounds like port 1935 is being blocked. Can you verify that that port is open?
Have you gone to the Test Your Computer page for your connect account. After the diagnostics run, choose to send and email and then click on the details... link to see the results of the test.
Here is a link to that page for our hosted account, if that makes it easier: http://realeyesconnect.adobeconnect.com/common/help/en/support/meeting_test.htm
If needed, Connect only requires FP 10.3 or newer. If it comes to it, an older version of the Flash Player can be tested.
