Problems getting video in talking head option

Hi : I'm working with trail version of Macromedia Breeze
Presenter and in trying to attach a video (swf) in slide (Talking
head video) - I keep on getting message "Presenter failed to create
the folder ....., please check your file and folder permissions and
try again". The permissions are just fine. Any ideas on this ? I'm
trying to prepare a prototype presentation to see if we can use
this product.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

First, let's get you the most up to date version of Adobe
Presenter... secondly, drop me a line... let's get you into one of
our free training courses on Adobe Presenter and or have you with
myself or one of our Acrobat Connect Professional experts at my
company. We'll work with you beginning to end, which includes free
ongoing training.
Cheers

Problem getting video from firewire camera

I've written a small app that gets video from camera and
publishes it through FMS(2). It works well with any USB webcams I
could find, but I have problems with firewire cameras. I can select
the camera in Flash settings, and getCamera() returns the
appropriate Camera object (e.g. it has the correct name, "Microsoft
DV Camera", which is what's its name in Windows), but I get
no/blank video.
Code snippet:
var myCam:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
Alert.show("Using " + myCam.name);
videoDisplay.attachCamera(myCam);
The same code and the same camera seems to work on OS X. I've
tried out two different firewire cameras on two different Windows
(XP) machines, and they consistently didn't work. They do work in
Flash Media Encoder (I'm not sure if it was written in Flash
engine), or other programs that do capture in Windows; but my
problem is that I need to inject metadata (stream.send()) into the
stream so i can't just use FME :(
Any ideas why this doesn't work? Do firewire cameras have
issues with flash/flex (for the reference, I'm using Flex2/Flash9)
on Windows XP, or am I doing something wrong here?

HI -
MPEG Streamclip does not act as a connection device between your camera and Final Cut.
It is a stand-alone application that converts the files from your camera into files that are useable in Final Cut.
The reason Final Cut does not "see" your camera directly is that the files are not usable in Final Cut - as recorded by the camera. Those same files are seen and imported in iMovie because iMovie is designed to support a wide variety of consumer formats, and converts them automatically on import to a format the iMovie can use. FCE does not have this feature for .mpg movie files. But the format the iMovie converts to is one that is not optimal for FCE.
Once you have converted the files that you want to use in MPEG Streamclip, you can store those converted files on your disk drive in a folder. Then open FCE an go to the menu File > Import > Files and navigate to where you have stored your converted files. Select them and the will be imported into FCE.
It is preferable to import using the MPEG Streamclip method, because the files that iMovie makes, are borderline usable in FCE, and if possible, should be avoided.
Hope this helps.

Problem Getting Video to Display on TV since Switching to OS Lion

Previous to switching the Lion OS, I used my MacBook Pro to display DVD's and iTunes videos on my television using the mini-display port HDMI adapter and HDMI cable.
Since switching to OS Lion, I cannot my computer video screen to display on the television. When I look at "Display" in the System Preferences, MacBook Pro seem to recognize that is connected to another display output yet my television screen remains black.
Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a setting that I need to change on my laptop?
Thanks!

I was having this same problem. I noticed the display screen button at the top of my laptop screen near the volume and network buttons. It's the one that looks like a small TV. The display button only showed the resolutions to choose from but then I tried conecting the HDMI cable and selecting that HDMI port on the TV when I turned on the TV. At this time the little TV display button at the top of menu offered an option called "turn mirroring on". I clicked on that and the display came on the TV. It seemed too simple but I hope this helps you.

Problems getting video's on my 30gb video iPod

Hello,
I got my iPod just a few days ago and getting my music on it was no problem. But yesterday, I converted a DVD to the mp4 format en wanted to put it on my iPod.
I tried for hours but it didn't do anything (there was nothing wrong with the format) so I looked for the source of the problem. I think I found it here (the menu is in Dutch, sorry for that ):
[IMG]http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/wouter1985/itunesprobleem.jpg[/IMG]
I cannot change anything in the Video-menu.
Is there anybody here that knows how to fix the problem?
Thank you very much for the effort.
Wouter

Hello
DVD extension format are .Vob but itune can't read this format in importation module , you need to convert before in mpg o or mp4 directly with third party tools
or with quicktime pro and WinQuickTimeMPEG2 plugins for exemple

Problems Getting video onto iPod

Hey everybody-
I have a feeling that my problem is a composite of many peoples' problems. Here's how everything breaks down: I have a Powerbook G4 running the latest version of OSX and a new iPod 60 Gig 5G (christmas present!)
-I read on the apple website that it is perfectly legal to rip your own DVD's for personal use.
-Therefore, I downloaded Handbrake and used it to rip the movie Freaky Friday which I own, to my desktop.
-The file showed up as an .mp4 on my desktop.
-I tried everything: importing it from iTunes, dragging and dropping it into iTunes library, dragging and dropping it directly onto the iPod icon in the iTunes source list.
-It showed up in the Video section of the iTunes source list, but when I tried to drag and drop it from there onto the iPod i got the same error message that everyone was getting, that it 'wasn't in the right format' with the link and everything.
-I followed the link, which basically instructed me to buy QuickTime Pro, which I did.
-In QuickTime Pro, I followed the instructions for 'movie to iPod' but the progress bar freezes up at 10%, every time.
-I tried changing the original .mp4 file to a .mov file, and it still froze during exporting.
How do I make it export into iTunes, then make it copy to my iPod without error? Pleeeeease help! I am willing to download anything and follow complicated instructions!
Thank you SO MUCH!

Your Handbrake "rip" may not meet the requirements for iPod use. Anything from the wrong dimensions to too high of a data rate could cause it to "fail".
QuickTime Pro isn't "freezing" at 10% completion. You are too impatient for the conversion. It could take a day (slower machines even longer) to convert a DVD rip to iPod friendly specs.
Plenty of lawyers in D.C. (I lived there for 50 years) would conclude that you don't own the right to "convert" the DVD to iPod format because the conversion creates a new product not intended by the copyright holders.
I doubt the police on the Metro would enforce (copyright Police force?) would take notice once you do get the film onto your iPod.
Test the "Export to iPod" setting using a 5 minute "cut". Open the Handbrake rip and copy 5 minutes of the file using QT Pro. Paste this cut into a new player window and save.
Time the export (you may be disappointed) and then you'll know how long the entire file will take to export to iPod settings using H.264 video codec.

Problem getting video to run in SWF

I have a student who is using Flash CS4 Pro. She has imported an flv, chosen a skin and placed the video on the stage. If you test by Ctrl+Enter the swf is created and plays quite happily. However, if you go to the folder where the swf is pubished and load the swf it either opens a blank window where neither video or skin appear or a window opens with the flash player logo flashing on/off. We've tried what we can think of like reassigning the paths in the component inspector be doesn't work. The fla, swf and skin are all in the same root directory.
My first thought was that there may have been some change on our network that was interfering but the same student has another swf she made several weeks ago using the same method which has 4 videos in the same swf and it still works fine. This suggests the methodology and the network are valid.
Not sure what to do. This is the last part of the student's A level coursework due in next Friday so any suggestions really welcome.

If you test by Ctrl+Enter the swf is created and plays quite happily. However, if you go to the folder where the swf is pubished and load the swf it either opens a blank window where neither video or skin appear
Sounds to me like a pathing problem.
Depending on how the folder structure is set up, going directly to the .swf and clicking on it in it's folder... and the video not playing... does not necessarily mean that the pathing is wrong or the .swf is broke. In fact, if the .swf video player is to be used on a Web page outside of the folder that the .swf is stored in, the .swf should NOT work when directly clicked on. That's because the pathing from the .swf to Flash assets such as the video file... pathing needs to be relative to the Web page the .swf will be used on and NOT the physical location of the .swf.
For your review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

Problems getting video when streaming to IMac then to apple tv.

I want to stream a video onto my IMac and send to apple tv. I can get sound but no video. Any answers?

Hi Jonathon
Air Video allows you to stream all media formats (avi etc) from your iMac via your iPad to Apple tv. Therefore there is no need to convert your movies to mp4 format so that can stream from iTunes to Apple tv.
Any thoughts on how to get Air Video to work or reconfigure Apple TV 2 to stream all video formats from iTunes and not just mp4??
Cheers

Problem getting Videos to play back to back...

I have ripped some Music Video from DVDs and my ipod will play them fine. It just wont play them back to back. Thus in a playlist it just plays the videos that I have bought from Itunes. I can manually play the videos (ripped) but it always only then plays the others I bought and ignores the videos I have placed on the Ipod..
Any help out there..
thanks
Mark

The process is the same but the constraints are slightly different - there are plenty of threads on the subject and as long as the video complies with the specification below, it will transfer. If it isn't transferring then there is something out of spec for that particular video.
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

I'm trying to edit a talking head video and want to find an straightforward way to mark a spot at the end of a statement and then cut the clip at that point. Can you help? thanks.

I'm trying to edit a talking head video and want to find an straightforward way to mark a spot at the end of a statement made by the subject and then cut the clip at that point. Can you help? Thanks.

I don't know how to mark a clip the way you want without adding an audio clip and putting in markers and then splitting the clip. You would think that hitting M would be the logical way to do things, but...
But, one can just click before the place one wants to edit, hit the spacebar and hit it again when the exact place is reached. Then go to the clip menu and click split clip. That works, but one really needs to keep the cursor out of both the timeline and the event browser, or the place in the timeline gets changed..
Are you really still using iMovie 08? That drove me nuts...a year later iMovie 09 came out with some needed improvements, and iMovie 11 with its audio adjustments is even better.
Personally, I edit iMovie with kind of a meat axe. I grab whole chunks of video and put it into the project, then edit the ends to get the frame I want. I got too frustrated otherwise.

Which FCP effects are used by pros for talking head corporate videos?

I'm trying to create a 'corporate' talking head web video look.
Which FCP effects are most useful for this?
On the one hand, I don't want to do effects just for the sake of doing effects, and distract from the message.
On the other hand, if it doesn't look interesting, the viewer isn't going to stick around for 30 seconds.
On the videoSellsYourMessage.com site, I've got a video on the Audio Visual tab with a race car background and sound effects along with text fade-ins and fade-outs.
Very simple and almost seems to work.
But, on the front page of that site, the abstract background just doesn't seem to cut it.
Besides needing to be re-shot with a less sleep deprived model, it's just lacking something (uh, like talent and creativity) - although the motion graphics & vocals at the end are maybe getting close?
Which FCP effects add to the message, rather than distract?
I'd love to see examples of what could be done with taking head commercial videos by a professionals using FCP.
Thanks!

Basically, Andy is right. Bottom line...content is king. If the message is humdrum, you're in for some real creative brainstorming.
There are so many ways to approach this challenge. What should drive your creative, is an understanding of the 'Brand' you're promoting.
Elements to consider:
Tone and Style
Color palette
Font selection
Pacing and edit flow.
What 'Promise' does the brand hold for the consumer?
Do you have access to corporate Broll or graphics that can help emphasize (sell) the message. That's the first thing I would look for. Use these to cut away from the straight up talking head.
Do you have the ability to create graphics or have someone on staff who can do this. If the corporation in question has a logo, graphics, website...you should use those elements to drive your creative choices...all chosen in order to re-inforce the 'Brand'.
Whizz-bang graphics, fast paced audio/visual cuts and vibrant colors might be great for the MTV generation, but if your product is geared towards 35-50 females, then you would tone things down. Or if the audience is 40 - 60 business types, you'd want visuals that projected confidence and stability...etc.
I don't think that answered your query, but (if you weren't already aware of the above blathering), I'm hopeful it will help guide you in your creative process.

I am unable to get videos on Youtube to operate from Firefox. They do work from Internet Explorer. Have tried youtube from Firefox in Safe Mode - SAME PROBLEM!!

Until now I've had no problem getting Youtube videos to show from Firefox. But now I've been unable to watch any videos (or audios) from the Youtube site when browsing in Firefox. When I go Internet Explorer and bring up Youtube the videos/audios play just fine. I've tried doing this under Safe Mode with the same result. No Youtube pictures from the Firefox browser.
I like Firefox but will revert to IE if I have to.

Can someone tell me the best method of incorporating a talking head video

I am interested in creating a screen casting video that would have my head in the lower right-hand corner talking to people as I demonstrate the resolution to the problem
i've been unable to find a clear concise tutorial that shows how to do that using Adobe captivate I have even looked through their own help but it is of little help
Can someone show me a clear step by step tutorial of how to record a talking head video with captivate
THanks

Do you mean by using PIP (picture in picture)? This is actually pretty simple in CP7 (has a few bugs at the moment in CP8.) If you're creating a video demo just separately record yourself with a camcorder etc and then insert that video into the cpvc project via Insert/PIP video. You'll be able to move it around and play with the properties. Bit like this:

Sync problem on nested talking head sequence when using dissolves

Hi everyone.
I'm working on a small project that involves a talking head chroma keyed on a still. I've nested the sequence and mixed down the sound at the same time in order to keep everything in sync.
Now I'm adding stills (with a small amount of motion) to Track 2. Sync is ok when stills are cut in but the talking head goes out of sync when I try to dissolve from the still back to the interview.
Is there a way to lock the video and audio of the interview together?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Chris

Hi all,
For those who are interested, I have found a few things that worked for me, though I'm not sure why it worked.
This sync issue is one of those dreaded "intermittent" problems which would occur when I played out my timeline to tape. Here's what I did:
1. I changes the RT setting on the timeline from safe RT to unlimited RT. It seemed to give me a smoother playback of the first 8 minutes of my timeline previously cut. everything stayed in sync.
2. When the last minute or so played out. It lost sync. My solution was to adjust the length of the still on track 2 by 2-5 frames thereby delaying the dissolve back to the talking head. This small timing adjustment made all the difference. But again, I'm not sure why.
Just thought I'd share.
Cheers,
Chris

HT1206 Lots of info about one user using multiple computers. What about multiple users with separate Apple IDs using same computer? Having problems getting my wifes new iPhone talking to her apple account on the computer we share (2 users)

You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

I am trying to connect my Sony DCR-TRV350 to iMovie so that I can make DVD's from family videos. I am having problems getting the video camera connected. Any advice on how to do this?

What happens when, after you connect your cam, you go to File > Import Media?
But before that, does your cam require you to export your video files upon USB connection? I have a JVC Everio HD and I have to "Export to Library" from the cam's menu first-thing. This was true even in prior iMovie versions.
