Problems when embedding animations (aka videos) in Captivate 4

I am still encountering a major problem with embedded videos.
I have a main project and within this project I am selecting Insert Animation (a swf file).
The problems are many, depending on whether I preview, publish to hard drive, or publish to Connect Pro.
In short, the videos do not play correctly.
Problems include:
- Embedded video will play about 1/2 way and go black (when in preview or published locally);
- The first embedded video on slide 13 (example) will begin playing its audio on slide 1 (when published locally or on Connect Pro)
- Only the first 1/2 second will play before going blank (when published on Connect Pro)
It does not seem to matter what the timing options are or if I select Sync with project.
This issue was discussed in the past, in fact, a solution was found. There is a 3rd party widget made by Michael that solves this embedded video problem. The caveat is that it does not work when the project is saved on Connect Pro.
See this like for more information: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2352409#2352409
I currently have a tier 2 case with Adobe technical support but I am wondering if anyone is doing what I am trying to accomplish and if so, have you found your own solution?
Thank you

Hi Shawn
I'm guessing the black part goes away when you view the project without Connect Pro in the picture?
I haven't managed to test this yet, but one thought I had was to try creating a one slide Presenter project in Microsoft PowerPoint. Add the Captivate SWF to the PowerPoint slide. Then add the loader SWF as a Presenter Attachment.
My hope here is that the attachment would be stored in the same folder location as the rest of it all. Then Captivate would find it and work with it.
If that fails, you could also try adding the loader SWF and the additional SWF on the same slide as the main Captivate SWF.
You might give that a go and see how far it takes you.
Cheers... Rick

Problem rendering 3D animation to video

Trying to render a small but high quality version of a 3-second 3D animation to video (using QuickTime, Medium Animation quality) in CS6, running OSX.7.4. On the Ray-Traced Draft setting, it renders to video just fine. But on the Ray-Traced Final setting, less than 1 second renders, then I get "Could not complete your request because of a program error". A partial video file is created where I see my animated object, originally very colorful, has now turned solid black. When i go back to my PSD file after this error, I see my colorful object, but when I hit Play, the object appears black. It is not a hardware or RAM issue. I've troubleshot this problem down to this file, and further, to this one object in this file (it renders fine when i delete the object.) The object is a 3D postcard made from an imported layer that measures 1920 x 720 pixels at 72 ppi. I have deleted it, reimported the original art and recreated the 3D postcard with slightly different movement--same thing. Is the movement too extreme? Would more keyframes help? I have 3 keyframes on the 3D Scene Position timeline which (3 seconds at 15 fps)--the starting position which is out of the frame, then it moves it to the center keyframe where it rotates 60° to fill the width of the document at the final keyframe. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Problem when syncing pics and video

I am having a problem when I sync pics or video. It is set up to only download the new pics on my device but it downloads ALL pics every time. This is very annoying. I think it started when I updated to 6.0. Is there not a way to sync them without getting every pic every time? I open my blackberry picture folder in my pc and there are triplets of all my photos. Please help.

Welcome to the forums.
As Allan noted, it's important to be using USB 2.0 and it's possible your machine at home doesn't have this. Check it out via the manual or support site to make sure your home machine meets the specifications.
Assuming for a moment it does, then what you can try is to turn off automatic sync (without the iPhone attached, go to the iPhone tab in iTunes and tell it not to look for an iPhone when attached). Then attach the phone and turn off all syncing except for your music. Make sure you sync via a playlist, and select a playlist that has a few hundred songs (or create one). See if that will transfer properly. If so, it may be the syncing of other items that is causing this problem.

2.2 update causes problems when fastforwarding through streamed videos

Has any else exprienced problems when trying to fast forward or skip to later sections of a large movie file (>1 gig) that is being streamed from a shared network folder? After the 2.2 update the file often not play after FFwarding but rather continuously tries to 'load' the file - the loading bar usually gets to about 99% but never to 100%. This problem was not existent for me with the 2.1 software.

After doing a factory re-install of ATV 2.1 software (from 2.2) the streaming worked just fine again with my mac mini and router. There are reasonable seek delays but not like in 2.2 where the delay is indefinite. My iTunes library is being streamed from a USB harddrive attached to my mac mini. My LAN setup is wired so the problems I am experiencing is not due to wifi lag.
All of my files that I am attempting to stream are large, single chapter videos. I doubt it is a chapter issue, however, as even fast forwarding hangs the video playback after a few seconds of seeking.

Audio problems when publishing to YouTube with Adobe Captivate 5.5

I was using Audacity to record audio, then importing the audio into Adobe Captivate 5.5. One I recorded earlier, before my computer was changed, but published into YouTube after it was changed published fine. But now, after doing recordings with Audacity and within Captivate itself, on different computers and everything, I am getting no sound when publishing to YouTube. It sounds fine in Captivate, but I get zilch sound in YouTube. I have tried different computers to record and listen to the video, different microphones, different audio levels, but to no avail. What am I doing wrong?

Hi there
I'm a simpleton at heart.
Have you tried ensuring that the speaker icon isn't muted?

WRT54G ver 6. Buffering problems when viewing live streaming Video!

Whenever my computer is connected to the computer through linksys WRT54G router, Windows Media Player do a lot of buffering. (after every 10 seconds or so). But when I connect to the internet directly through the cable modem, I don't see any buffering and I can watch the video without any problem.
Any advice!

I've tried most suggestions with no luck. I've got a WRT54G v6 router with the 1.01.1 updated firmware. Videos from MSNBC, CNN, CBS, etc... just don't want to run smoothly- and this is on a wired connection to the router. All 3 computers hooked to router have this problem. Choppy video or the video stops and the audio continues- or than everything pauses. I have decent connect speeds- avg test is:
9.66Mbps or 1.20MBytes/sec... I switched back to my old Linksys wired router and the videos played fine-connections speeds were consistent as well. I use the wireless access for a Wii. All computers are wired into the router. I am figuring it MUST be the router since my old router makes the problem go away...but I need the wireless access on the WRT54G for my Wii. I did not notice if this problem was there before I upgraded the firmware since I did the upgrade when I installed the new router. Thanks for any advice.

Common 'Green Screen" problem when trying to view videos in iTunes

I love the show "Surface" on NBC so I decided to download the first pilot episode #101 to iTunes for Windows on my computer. When I go to "full screen" mode to watch the program it goes to a "green screen" washout that is common when Quicktime is installed whether the version 1.68 alternative or the Apple Quicktime. How do I solve this common known problem?

Anyone have any ideas or need more info, if so please let me know. This is very frustrating.

Why my titles disppear when i upload my video ?

Hello, I've got a problem When i upload my video on youtube the titles disappear. I don't know what i can do Can anybody help me ?
Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
How are the Titles being used, as Clips on Video 1, or as overlays, on say Video 2, or above?
Can you post a screen-cap of your Timeline, so that we can see the Titles?
Do any of your Titles show, or are all of them just missing?
While I have never had any "disappear," I have had a few animated Titles display in an initial "jerky" fashion, with streaming media, like with YouTube, due to buffering on the download for playback. The "trick" there is to start with say 02 sec. of Black Video (created with the New Icon in the Project Panel), and then do a Cross-Dissolve, or Dip-to-Black, from it to my Title. This gives time for the initial bytes of the file to be buffered, on the viewers' computers. Their download speed can play a role in this too, as can the speed of the server from the streaming source. However, that is quite different, than what I think you are describing.
Good luck, and let us see just a bit more,
Hunt

Problem in my MacBook Pro Video Calling in Facebook

I have problem when trying to start video calling in facebook, it always says "The video calling software encountered an error while starting."
and it's very annoying because I can't use video call on facebook.
I tried to follow instructions on how to uninstall video calling in facebook and I've tried to follow this instructions in
https://www.facebook.com/help/247662461917444/
For Mac OS X:
In the Finder, go to your Home directory which is labeled with a house icon and your username.
Open the Library folder.
Open the Internet Plug-Ins folder.
Delete the FacebookVideoCalling.bundle file.
When I tried to look for the said file, it is not inside the Internet Plug-Ins folder.
Is there any problem with my mac? I am using MacBook Pro mid 2012, 10.8.3
I hope someone could help. Thank you.

Have you enabled the service yet? Here's a link to enable it on 10.7:

Embedding a YouTube Video utilizing HTML Insert Crashes Muse Repeatedly

Just today I have noticed when embedding a YouTube Video in Muse that it has begun crashing repeatedly. I cannot get the video to stay embedded to finish this project. Is there a bug or a work-around?
Thank you.

Please try using YouTube embed code with the "Enable privacy-enhanced mode" option checked. It appears this crash is being triggered by recent changes in how YouTube's embed code works. At least early evidence indicates turning the "Enable privacy-enhanced mode" option on when creating the embed code appears to change the behavior of the embed code enough to avoid triggering this crash within Muse.
If you do try this, please report back to let us know whether or not setting this option enables you to avoid this crash. Thanks.

Trial version problem when using more than 1 track - does trial version same as full one?

I am thinking of upgrading to Premiere Elements 9 as I have upgraded my laptop. But the trial version Premiere Elements 9 doesn't even perform as well (with the same media) as Elements 4.0 did on my old laptop.
My new laptop is an HP Pavilion with Intel(R) Core i7 Q720 @ 1.6GHz (I was a bit wary of the low GHz but HP explained that that was still better than a higher GHz figure for an i5). I am editing both MP4 and avi files at 720 x 480.
The problem is that as soon as I start to use more than a couple of video tracks, playback slows right up, making editing difficult. Other software packages I have trialled on the new laptop (such as Sony Vegas) don't slow up at all, but I'd rather not buy them as I am very familiar with Premiere Elements now.
Is this a problem with the trial version which woudl be solved if I bought the full version, or will it be the same?
Thanks very much for any help

The AVI format is but a wrapper. Almost anything can be inside that wrapper. This ARTICLE will give you more background, and will also tell you how to determine what is inside the wrapper.
Especially with a laptop, I strongly recommend tuning the computer for an editing session. This ARTICLE will give you some tips. Note: there are a couple of links, just for Win7. Also, there are some good tune-up tips in the forum FAQ section, to the right of the main forum page. Of special note: the active anti-virus, pop-up blockers and spy sweepers are known to cause all sorts of problems, when trying to edit video.
One major consideration with a laptop is the I/O sub-system - the HDD's. Most laptops only have one internal HDD, and that is anything but ideal. With eSATA external HDD's, one can get very nearly the same performance, as with multiple internal HDD's. This ARTICLE will give you tips on using external HDD's with video editing. Though I have 3x internal SATA HDD's in my laptop, I still rely on FireWire 800 (IEEE-1394b) externals, and they work well. Using eSATA would be even better. For more info on the I/O sub-system, see this ARTICLE.
Good luck,
Hunt

Problems with Metadata Set and video clip size... I think....

Ok, I can't figure this one out... any help would be much appreciated.
Background:
I started server using the Video Production default customer profile. Then I created a few new metadata Sets including one called Finished Programs which is a media asset.
Problem:
When I upload a video clip and select the Finished Programs metadata set it always changes to the Media metadata set. Now this only happens when I have used MPEG Streamclip to take the video off of a DVD. If I upload a clip (mov) file that I used in Final Cut Pro it works fine.
My settings in MPEG StreamClip are Apple DV/DVCPRO-NTSC 720x480 Interlaced Scaling and Reinterlaced Chroma.
If I upload two clips at the same time and select Finished Programs metadata set, one that I used MPEG StreamClip and one that I digitized into FCP, it will place two clips in FCPserver, one with the Finished Programs and one with the Media Set.
Any ideas on how to fix this????

Could be. If it's not the metadata it must be something else. You would have to figure it out by trial and error. Maybe you should try giving it the highest priority and maybe turn off all automated scans and see if it works then. just to make sure that nothing intervenes with the process while it is going on and see if you can get it to run fully and see what the outcome is then.
I have files over 1 GB that get attached to the right medadataset. I have failures on thumbnail creation to, but FCSvr then starts the same job over and over till it succeeds.
I have never user MPEG Streamclip clips in FCSvr. Hopefully somebody else has and could share their experiences.

Error popping up when embedded

Hi,
I've got a minor but frustrating problem: When embedding the results in HTML on my website, visitors always get the pop-up which says (in Dutch): "De opdrachten voor dit document zijn niet beschikbaar in het Engels (VS)" which means translated that the assignments for this document are not available in English.
What does this mean and how can I avoided this? "Sluiten", equal to close, should be pressed to close the pop-up and show the results.
Thanks..
Kind regards,
Barry

Hi,
Please provide the link to your HTML page, or you can email to [email protected]
