Render for ios compositing? cross-discipline question

Does anyone know what settings in Motion export will allow my video to be used in an iOS app such that the alpha channel is respected?
I am including the alpha channel in the export.
The background in the video is always black when used in my iOS app, when exporting as H.264.
After exporting to Compressor so I can specify either the Animation codec or ProRes 444, I get nothing displayed in my app, which causes me conclude that those codecs aren't supported in iOS.

It is true that no video codec under iOS supports an alpha channel. But, it is possible to use a 3rd party library to add this functionality into a specific iOS app. You would need to export to Quicktime with the Animation codec set to Millions+ and then prepare the video for inclusion into your iOS app. My blog post on the subject goes into detail if you are interested:

AIR for iOS: Icons & Launch Image question

Launch Image:
AIR has been so changed since I used it last time, I can't really figure out anything, documentation is somewhat confusing to me. Could you anyone of you please answer my question? To some, it could be pretty simple.
My app is exclusively for iPads, works only in Lanscape mode, so I've included 2 launch images, which name: Default.png & [email protected] (I named them after reading this: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS901d38e593cd1bac1e63e3d129907d2886-8000.html)
When I copied final .ipa file to my iPad 2, well, its launch image appeared in Portrait mode! So, I'm totally confused as how many launch images I need to provide and what should be their name? I use Flash Professional CC to publish, I've included all the launch images in Publishing settings, so is there any order I need to follow or order in Included Files just does not metter? Please keep it in consideration that this app is only for iPads (specified in Publishing dialouge box) and works only in Landscape mode (both, left and right).
Icons:
I followed the above mentioned webpage and provided Flash Professional CC these icons: 29x29, 48x48, 50x50, 58x58, 72x72, 100x100, 144x144 & 1024x1024. I know 50x50 icon is created by AIR from 48x48, yet I provided it and 512x512 icon is only for development purpose, we need to manually provide it while uploading it to App Store, so I did not provide it.
When I copied final .IPA to iTunes, iTunes does not show App Icon as it used to show for development-ipa. So, I just want to confirm is it normal or I missed something?
Lastly, I copied final .IPA to my iPad 2, when I started it, I noticed that first it show the 'launch image' in Portrait mode (as mentioned above) and after may be 1-2 seconds, the launch image gone and it showed blank (black) screen untill my app started. The blank black screen showed up for 3-4 seconds. Is it normal?
Thanks.

Hey Yusuf,
"Default.png" is a portrait mode image for iPhone, iPhone 3 and iPhone 3GS.
For iPad 1, 2 & Mini you will need a 1024x768 image called "Default-Landscape.png".
For iPad 3 and 4 you will need a 2048x1536 "[email protected]".
So all you have to do is include these launch images in the publish settings and that's it, there is no special order and you do not require any other "Default" images other than those two. This should also resolve your blank screen problem.
It's normal for release builds not to show their App icon in iTunes, you'll notice that when you right click and press "Get Info" on an app you should be able to see the icon.
Hope that helps,
O.

Outlook for IOS

Got some weird happenings with Outlook for IOS.
In Google, I de-authorized everything including Outlook permissions. I re-install Outlook for IOS and attempt to add my GMAIL address. I get the prompt to authorize, I see the authorize show up in Google, but I can never ever create an account
in IOS. I can add GMAIL using Outlook on my Surface and on my iMac, just can't add it in IOS.
I guess this is probably a GMAIL or IOS issue, but it does authorize, Outlook tells me to check my email and password (which are correct since i can add it on other platforms). I do not have dual authentication on.
Any ideas?

Fortran code for iOS using GCC cross-compiler

Hello everyone!
I have some Fortran application, and i want to compile it for iOS. I'm new in iOS development and as i understand correctly i need to configure GCC (from gcc.gnu.org) with --target=arm-apple-darwin and --enable-languages=c,c++, fortran.
With --target=arm-elf, --target=arm-apple-darwin i got error, that it's not supported.
With --target=arm-none-eabi i got cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile Maybe is that because i'm setting wrong configure parameters.
My question is : what is correct ./confgiure parameters to create gcc cross compiler for iOS platform, which supports FORTRAN.
Is this the only (right?) way to build cross-compiler for iOS platform, or i could use existing LLVM-GCC? Thanks!

jasonwryan, thanks for the reply,
I've read the ARM Dev Guide as suggested but I don't believe this will do what I'm aiming to achieve. It seems the ARM Dev Guide will install the arm-linux-gnueabi, which allows cross-compiling applications to run on LINUX built for ARM. I need something like arm-none-eabi (or arm-none-gnueabi - the whole naming scheme is a mess at the moment) which is an ARM compiler for "bare metal" ARM devices. I am aiming to program a simple ARM Cortex M4 microcontroller as opposed to an ARM microprocessor running Linux. Hence arm-linux-gnueabi is quite overkill from my understanding and it might even not work.
So, if someone could either confirm that what the ARM Dev Guide suggests is indeed what I need to program a bare metal ARM microcontroller, or recommend an alternative path, it would be very appreciated.
Thanks,
-Igor

AIR for iOS Data Protection question again

We are looking into Protecting Data Using On-Disk Encryption for our AIR for iOS iPad apps. An article on the adobe site (Protecting content on an iOS device with DPS | Adobe Developer Connection) mentioned this can be achieved by generating Data Protection enabled AppID/provisioning profile to pacakage in the app.
After we packaged and published the app using the appropriately configured provisioning profile (Complete protection), we run an analysis on the iPad files. It's reporting that the files are using an encryption class, but the wrong one.
We run into two kinds of scenarios -
1. For App ID that "complete" data protection service is specified, the class utilized should be NSFileProtectionComplete. Instead, the class being utilized in the files is NSFileProtectionCompleteUntilUserAuthentication
2. for App ID without any data protection service selected, the files saved in the app documentDirectory is utilizing "NSFileProtectionCompleteUntilUserAuthentication".
We cannot find why is it using the wrong class when specified with another class, and why are other apps utilizing the class when they weren't designed to any data protection? Could something in Adobe AIR be overriding it or setting a default to use "NSFileProtectionCompleteUnitlUserAuthentication"?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. We cannot find much information on this issue but data encryption has become more and more critical now. Thank you very much.

Excel for iOS data masking question..

Hey guys, the contracts I use for my biz require me to have fields masked (when typing in a customer's credit card info) - I had special excel agreements built and had to give up my iPad and
go out and buy a thinkpad tablet.
I'm really curious though and wondering if someone can tell me whether data masking is supported yet within excel for ios. I realize macros are not...Any help would be much appreciated..Thanks

Question about exporting for iOS/App Store

I tried to follow all the instructions (http://developer.apple.com/ios/manage/distribution/index.action) properly but they were written for XCode and not Adobe. I have looked on Adobe's site but I can't find any information or documentation telling me what I'm doing wrong.
I am using Flash CS 5.5 and AIR 2.7.
In iTunes Connect under Provisioning -> Distribution I created a new Distribution Provisioning Profile. This I opened in AIR for iOS Settings -> Deployment -> Provisioning profile. Bundle IDs match.
In iTunes Connect under Certificates -> Distribution I created a new Distribution Certificate. This I installed using Keychain Access.
In Flash I continued using the same Developer Certificate (.p12 file) I had been using to test my app on my device.
I downloaded and used Keychain to install the WWDR intermediate certificate.
In Flash -> AIR for iOS Settings -> Deployment -> iOS deployment type I chose "Deployment - Apple App Store"
I compiled the app and tried to upload using Application Loader. It gave me the following error:
"Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an Apple submission certificate."
All my certificates are current and valid, and have been installed without duplicates.
Any ideas? I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to do or where else to turn for answers.
Thanks!

Is that the developer_identity.cer file created in iTunes Connect -> Provisioning -> Distribution?
I created one and installed it in Keychain by double clicking on it in Finder.
It shows up in Keychain -> Login under "iPhone Distribution: My Name" and I can expand it to reveal a private key with my name underneath it.
Is that right?

Premiere takes forever to render an AE composition that renders in seconds inside AE. (CS6)

So, I have a Premiere project that's basically a lot of After Effects compositions put together. It's a presentation of an architecture project, so it's mostly perspectives and a few animated sequences. No effects applied in Premiere, just a few cross dissolves and some titles.
Each of the After Effects compositions in After Effect is quickly rendered (I'd say about 2 seconds per frame, if that). But whenever I'm rendering them from Premiere (be it to export them or just "render effects in work area"), they take forever. Like, 30 seconds each frame. For a 6 minute film, that adds up to 3 entire days. That happens even when I set the work area in Premiere to a bit where there's nothing but the AE composition with no effects.
I could just pre-render them all in After Effects and they'll render much quicker in Premiere, but then I'll have to it once for every composition (about 30 in total), and then do it again whenever one of the compositions is changed. That doesn't make a lot of sense.
A few details:
- Rendering in Full HD 23,976fps
- There are a few different types of compositions. All of them are giving me a hard time. Some of them are compositions from 5000px wide PSD files with 2 layers and a linear wipe. Other is are DSLR .MOVs that are warp-stabilized and then timewarped to add motion blur. A few are .EXR sequences composed with a few effects and backgrounds.
- When I'm rendering them in Premiere, Task Manager shows 13% CPU being used (1 core) and 2,5gb RAM. When I'm rendering the exact same sequence in AE, it's usually about 28% CPU and 6gb RAM. "Render multiple frames simultaneously" is unchecked. There's 16gb RAM and 3gb reserved for other applications. Everything is, of course, 64bit.
- I'm using a Windows 7 on a 128gb SSD (plus a 1tb 7200 rpm HDD as a scratch disk and another for footage). i7 2600k, 16gb RAM.
So... any ideas?
Thanks.
P.S.: Man, I think I just got it. You're the best!
I'd been banging my head against the wall for three days. I just realized every single sequence had a keyframe for time remapping where it was set for 100% speed the whole sequence, but went to 0% like 3 seconds after it ended. AND time remapping fx was unchecked (off). No idea why someone would put it there or why that would affect the rendering time of the whole sequence which is set for 100%... but apparently just toggling animation on that solved my problem. So here it is for if anyone else has the same problem.

Here's what Todd Kopriva said in another thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3813422#3813422
"When the headless version of After Effects is called upon to render frames to serve Premiere Pro for a dynamically linked composition, it's just a single process---not the multiple processes that can run when when you're using After Effects as the primary application. Other resources (e.g.,CPU threads, RAM space, hard disk bandwidth, memory bandwidth) also must be shared with Premiere Pro in the Dynamic Link scenario."
So I guess that's the whole answer. In any AE composition that's resource-heavy in terms of CPU, rendering through Premiere is way slower - especially on an i7, which has 8 logical cores. That means you're using a computer that's 8 times slower and it makes a lot of sense to pre-render in AE before, as troublesome as that might be when you have 20 or 30 AE comps in your PPro project.
The "speed" glitch I had helped a lot, but didn't really solve it.
There's a way around that. Not sure it affects anything quality-wise. You just open AE and do a full RAM preview of the sequence. Then go to PPro and "render effects in work area" for that specific part of the project. If you go ahead and do alter the original composition you're gonna now it because the preview in PPro will be gone. A bit troublesome, but better than manually duplicating and pre-rendering 30 comps and having side comps with the actual effects as backup.

Out of Memory Error when exporting release build for IOS

I recently changed my project to use the new AIR 3.3 SDK.
When I try to package my game for iOS, I get an error part way through the build, that says
Exeption in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space.
I took a screenshot:
It's frustrating because now it doesn't build at all.
I have tried changing the -vmargs for the sdk to have 16Gb of RAM available, (and many other multiples of 1024m) in the hope that this would fix it.
I've also installed the JDK as it is supposed ot handle memory better than the JRE, but have no idea how to point FB to use that.
I've changed the Xmx value to 1024m in Flashbuilder.ini and eclipse.ini (it seems it doesn't start if it's higher than that) and still no luck.
Can anyone help with this?
Cheers,
Ben

Well I don't have to render as I go, it is just a choice. I checked to see if all the video and stills were rendered. I re-rendered after making sure all of the options were checked, removed all of the stills from the timeline just in case the still format was the problem, then attempted to export again. It took about 2 hours. I watched with activity monitor and it took almost all of the available disc space then my computer shut itself down. When I rebooted there was a Quicktime file 320 GB in size but would not open. I got an error message that it was not a mov. file.
But to answer your question:
Video is 29.97fps DV/DVCPRO
Frame size is 720 x 480
3.0 mb/sec
16 bit Integer
Aplha= None /ignore
Composit is Normal
NTSC-CCIR 601
Stereo
Stills are at 25.0 fps JPEG

How to address a specific time in VOD for iOS

Using Flash and RTMP it's easy to go to a specific time in a VOD stream served from AMS using the seek method.
Is there similar ability to seek to a specific time in VOD delivered to Safari on iOS? The native video player provides a currentTime method, but I've not seen documentation anywhere to suggest currentTime or another method to provide rapid and accurate time based access from AMS.
FWIW, Wowza documentation provides an answer:
http://www.wowza.com/forums/content.php?326-How-to-specify-a-play-start-time-and-duration- for-HTTP-streaming
TIA,
RT

Nitin, the link you provided is a bit better than nothing, but it refers to the AVPlayer object in applications, rather than iOS delivered data. In our experience currentTime is a settable property for the native video player in mobile Safari, using a normal progressive uploaded stream, as the documentation shows:
http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/AudioVideo/Reference/HTMLMediaEle mentClassReference/HTMLMediaElement/HTMLMediaElement.html
The question is "Are there browser based methods that seek AMS delivered streams more quickly or with better accuracy?"
Everyone is aware that mobile is exploding. On some of our videocentric apps the share for iOS is approaching 20%. PM Kevin Towes, what are you doing to accomodate this need???

Eos remote app for iOS

The idea was great, however the development seems to be stopped on this.
It hasn't been updated since Dec of last year.
Will there be a new version of EOS Remote app for iOS?
Features I'd like to see from the upgrade (if there's any)
1) Full size image transfer
2) Video file transfer
3) Indicate if a file is already downloaded to the phone or not.
Thanks,

Hi rmpark!
Thanks for posting.
The EOS Remote App currently works with up to iOS version 7. I am not sure if or when the next version of the app will be released, or what features will be added to it, but I have forwarded your suggestions along. This feedback is very important to Canon. Please continue to check in the app store from time to time for any updated versions that may be released.
