Resizing video in a PDF

I have a video which I want to insert in a PDF, but it's 90 MB wmv file.
That works okay in the PDF, but my email provider won't allow me to attach anything bigger than 20MB.
Is there a way to constrain the video when you insert it in a PDF so I can limit the size, say to 20MB or less.
Please advise.
Thanks!

You would need to use the compression of your choice before adding it to the PDF.

  • Easy Question about resizing video

    I searched 'Resizing Video' and there was too many unrelated results to a really simple question.
    In my old program "Premiere', to resize and move a video around was very easy. You could adjust the scale and X-Y values numerically, or you could use a Free Transform like in Photoshop. Simply dragging bounding boxes for size and aspect and also dragging the clip to decide it's location.
    The only way I know how to do this in FCP is I double click a clip in the sequence, it loads into the viewer, I go to the Motion Tab and then I can adjust the Scale, which is cool. But then I'm left with the Distort section to adjust position (and aspect if need be). In the Distort section there are 8 numeric fields of info to figure out and fill out just to get one clip in a different position correctly.
    I'm thinking there must be another way to adjust the location (or aspect) of a video clip without spending a bit of time on exact coordinates, I want to eye-ball where I want the clip to go and simply move it there. Is the Distort feature the only way to do this? If not, which is the fastest way to move and change the dimension of a clip.
    Thanks for reading, I hope there is another way, I'm not use to these calculations and they're slowing me down.

    I searched 'Resizing Video' and there was too many unrelated results to a really simple question.
    That's because it's not a simple question at all and yet every one of those threads was related to the OP's question. As you discovered, there are lots of ways to interpret "resize," during capture, editing, effects, output, viewing, encoding, printing. But the solution was even simpler than you thought. All you had to do was open the manual or the online help system. Start taking the manuals to the gym with you. FCP is not Premiere. You're going to hate FCP, you're going to love FCP but it will never behave like Premiere beyond the elements of the functional paradigm. Forget Premiere.

  • Is there a way to embed video in a PDF that will play on a Mac or iPad?

    I am creating a training document in Acrobat XI Pro (converted from Word).  I have embedded a video into the PDF that plays within the document, and it works fine on my PC.  When the file is opened on a Mac or iPad, the video will not play.  As another option, I embedded the video as a YouTube widget.  Again, it plays fine on my PC but won't play on a Mac or iPad.  As a third option, I've tried hyperlinking a screen shot of the YouTube video in my PDF.  On my PC and iPad it will navigate me to my browser to play the video in YouTube, but is not functional on my Mac.
    Would welcome suggestions.  Ideally want one solution that will play on all 3 devices!
    Thank you.

    First of all, if you want to run video inside a .pdf on an iPad, you should be aware that the Adobe Tablet and Mobile reader does NOT support rich media ( audio or video ).  Despite trying to encourage Adobe to 'get real', it seems that they have no intention to do so in the short term.  SO ... I have been working with a company called Readdle, and beta testing their 'PDF Expert' application, and it is probably the most sophisticated .pdf  reader for iOS on the market.
    It supports rich media, and certain levels of JavaScript that are particularly useful for this kind of work.
    However, if all you want to do is insert video into a single .pdf document, that will run on iOS ( with 'PDF Expert only' ) as well as desktop Mac or PC, the video needs to be h264 .mp4 format ( basically avoid ANY based Flash content for iOS ).
    You should also note, that active Buttons ( not hyperlinks, which are different ) which you might wish to create in say InDesign or even Acrobat, need to be made up of just imagery (and that also means converting your text to outlines ).  However, this is only necessary for iOS with PDF Expert.  Also be aware that I have not done much work which includes .pdf on Android.
    I do think though that if you stick with basic navigation, avoid active 'Layers' authoring and only want to run simple video, the h264 .mp4 encoding is going to work across ALL platforms.
    If you want to have a look 'under the hood' of  an example, please DOWNLOAD and save this item

  • Glitch when adding video to a PDF

    I've successfully added a video to a multi-page PDF using Acrobat X by linking to a URL as opposed to embedding the video file. My problem occurs when I navigate to the page immediately before or after the page that the video is located on.
    The first time I navigate away from the page that the video is on, an outline of the video frame will be visible on the following (or preceeding) page. When I move past that following (or preceeding) page and back to it again, the frame will be gone. When I return to the page that the video is on, and then navigate away from it again, the same problem will occur on the immediately following (or preceeding) page.
    I am linking to an external video via URL as opposed to embedding the video file in order to keep the PDF file size as small as possible. Embedding actual video files will not be an option, as there will be multiple videos in this PDF.
    I have set the "Enable When:" option to "The page containing the content is visible" in order to not require viewers of the PDF to have to click on the video to activate its player functionallity.
    I have also set the options to "Disable When: 'Disable Content' is selected from the context menu".
    If I choose "Disabel When: The page containing the content is not visible" or "The page containing the content is closed", there is an unacceptable delay in page navigation functionality when navigating away from the page that the video is located on.
    "Playback Style:" is set to "Play content on page".
    "Border Width:" is set to "No border".
    Is this frame visibility glitch on pages immediately surrounding the page that video content is located on a known problem, or is there some setting that needs to be activated to prevent this from occuring? If this is a known problem, is there any sort of workaround to negate it? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Interesting conversations have been spawning from my initial request.
    For clarification my specific issue has to do with .swf only. Flash is supposed to be a universal play. right. Doesn't matter PC or MAC it should run when played as an video.swf file, anywhere provided that the appropriate flash application software is installed on the computer.
    I have an adobe.pdf with an embedded video.swf in it, that was created on a Windows PC, but I want it to be able to be open and view the adobe.pdf file and it contents on a MAC.
    When I send these PDF files to MAC users, granted they are not the kind of "MAC users" that would be talking in this Forum, they can open the Adobe.dpf but they have issues playing the embedded .swf within.
    If you want more information on my application you can visit profile
    at myspace.com/videoaresume
    I am finding that Flash technology is very tempermental no matter with computer type you are using.
    So, I set my goal if I can get my application to run 90% I am successful.
    I have had three MAC users try to view my Adobe.pdf file with video, 2 could not run it.
    If anyone has a MAC and wants to be able to give me feedback on whether you can open my file and play the video email me, I would be greatly appreciated.

  • How to embed a mp4 video into a pdf with acrobat pro XI?

    I'm  trying to embed a mp4 video into a pdf using Acrobat Pro XI.  When I try to play the video, all I see is a black box. The video is H.264 codec. I've tried on a PC and Mac and get the same results.

    Video playback in the Acrobat Family uses Flash Player, so if it works in FP (loaded via an HTML page) then it should work in your PDF. First suggestion is to use the free MediaInfo tool to check exactly what the internal structure reports as.

    How i can insert videos, export to pdf and then watch the video? i can't. It is suposse that i have to configurate the option save but i don't know how... any help?

    Fron the Pages Help menu:
    Using Sound and Movies
    You can add audio—a music file, a playlist from your iTunes library, or any other sound file—to a Pages document. You can add video that plays within a page.
    Pages accepts any QuickTime or iTunes file type, including the following:
    MOV
    MP3
    MPEG-4
    AIFF
    AAC
    Also note that some media files are protected under copyright law. Some downloaded music may be played only on the computer where the download occurred. Make sure the computer you are using has permission to play all the media files included in your document.
    When you add media files to your document, make sure that they will be available if you transfer your document to another computer. When saving your document, make sure the option “Copy audio and movies into document” is selected in the Save window.

  • Can't keep the original size of the video (Resize Video option is stuck on 640 x 480h)

    I am importing .mp4 files set at 874 x 480h. Somehow AME makes the output size 640 x 480h, which significantly vertically compresses the video.
    I tried so many different ways of uncheking the Rewsize Video box, checking it again and specifiying 874 x 480h. Best I got is 874 x 480h with black borders left and right and the actual video to be rendered in output tab is still at 640 x 480h.
    It seems that Resize Video option is stuck on 640 x 480h and can not be changed.
    Is there some bug in AME I have to work around? Or is it a problem with the original video? If the problem with an original video what exactly do I ask my client to rerender it like if I already receive it in 874 x 480h, can view/play it in this size, AME recognizes the original video to its true size, shows it to its true size if 1x1 pixel preview is selected. However will show a distorted 640 x 480h version if Aspect Ratio Corrected Preview is selected (even with the Resize Video box unchecked)?

    Hi Marion,
    Thanks very much for your message. I have downloaded that program and it's definitely handy for examining the details of the original file. You mentioned in your message about not having to recode the file - The file I'm editing is originally from a Q3 Zoom video recorder and I can use their in-built software (handyware) to trim the file - this doesn't recode the file and so the file size just reduces by the required amount. Unfortunately there is no facility to crop the file with this software - I've looked for other software that would allow cropping without having to recode the file but I haven't found anything suitable for a simple procudure like this - do you know of any software that allows you to crop a file without recoding? Thanks.

  • S60 v5 (e.g 5800/5530) Resize Video on phone to se...

    May be a silly question - but I can't seem to find an option that will allow me to resize a video, taken on the phone, so that it's small enough to send via MMS
    I usually keep the Video Camera set to 'TV High Quality' so that when I get home I can transfer it over to PC to edit before uploading it to youtube (or whatever) etc, but occasionally once I've taken a video I'd like to send it straight away to someone via MMS (while keeping the original to edit when I get home) - but I get a message stating that the file size is too large
    I don't want to keep changing the video quality settings each time - because by the time I've changed it, what I wanted to record has passed by
    The 5800 doesn't seem to offer an option to 'resize video to send via MMS' & was wondering if there IS such an option hidden away somewhere, & if not - is there a 3rd part App that can be installed (preferably free) that will do the job
    Thanks in advance

    So while you are waiting for Nokia to do your request, maybe I could interest you in an alternative?

    DayHand is a replacement keyboard for the s60v5 phones. It does not have autocorrect, but it does have predictive text via T9 dictionary in qwerty mode. The app is unsigned by the way, so you would need to sign it with your own certificate.
    You could also try out Adaptxt

  • E62,can i view/save video /jpg/jpeg/pdf files,can ...

    I want to know whether i can view/save video /jpg/jpeg/pdf files on E62 and whether i can send them as attachments via email.What is the maximum file size i can send via email from E62

    ANSWER FOUND!
    Once I finished composing my question I went back and spent some time to figure out the problem. Rather than choosing the "save as" option, which doesn't work, or attempting to choose "export" (grayed out), the correct option is to choose "export creation", which is near the very bottom of the initial drop down options. That works!  I still think it would make sense to have it as an option in the "save as" area.

  • Resizing Videos

    Ok, I didn't know where to post this...so if I'm posting this in the wrong spot, please, sombody point me in the right direction. Ok, well I'm trying to resize my videos that are in iPhoto. I want to make them (I know it's a funny sizing, but trust me) 128 x 128 pixels. I don't have Quick Time Pro and don't want to buy it. So...how do I resize my videos?
    Thanks!

    OK.
    Sounds like fun and I'm game for some hacking.
    So. Sims 2 allows you to use up to 128X128 file size. Do they say that "video" is allowed? Maybe something that fits on a Sims TV set?
    If only image formats are used there are a few QT tricks I can pass on.
    Open the "video" and position the playhead to the frame you wish to "capture".
    Open the Movie Info window and note the dimensions.
    Hold down the Shift and Control keys as you drag the "grow window" (lower right corner of the Player window) toward the center of the image. You'll see that you can make a rectangle into a square!
    Once sized to 128X128 you can now "Copy" (even the free player) the newly sized image to the Mac "Clipboard".
    Open any image editing app (I use GraphicConverter), make a new "blank" canvas size at 128X128 and "paste". Save in a format that the Sims software requires.
    If you own QT Pro you could also use "Save As" on this newly resized video, name this new file and import or convert it to a format accepted by the Sims software.
    You could also use third party software to actually "crop" the video to the needed dimensions. MPEG Streamclip (free) is my tool of choice.
    Hope any of this helps. Post a screen shot if it actually works.

  • Resize video window hangs

    I'm running iTunes 7.6 (29) on Mac OS 10.5.1. When I resize video windows while playing in iTunes I get hangs that require me to hard power down my MacBook Pro (2.6GHz, 4GB RAM). Is anyone else seeing this? Is there a fix, or is this related to the general unstableness of OS 10.5? I also have the syslogd and mdworker (do a Google search for each) problems that Apple refuses to acknowledge or fix.

    No, rolling back to QuickTime 7.3.1 didn't fix the problem. I suspect it was the graphics drivers.
    I installed 10.5.2 and the Leopard graphics driver update tonight. One of them seems to have fixed the iTunes window resize problem (although I just played around for a while to try it). I didn't try to recreate the problem between upgrades so I can't say which update might have fixed it. If the problem returns I'll post back here.
    I still have trouble with runaway syslogd processes... but that wasn't the topic of this thread. I've had one of those since I installed the upgrades, but I'm getting good at going into Terminal to kill and fix the process. After all, isn't using the command line interface of Terminal oh so Mac like?

  • Why are full page video's resized in my interactive pdf document?

    Hi all,
    I've got an interactive pdf with a video that doesn't appear in the proper size, its 65% of the original.
    This video is created with After Effects, using a composition of 1024 * 768 px.
    The Indesign document from which the pdf is created has the same dimensions.
    So the video is supposed to cover the entire pdf page, for full screen view.
    Yet it only appears as 65%, with an black rim around it...
    What do I do wrong?
    Best, Erik

    Hi Dave,
    Correct, the video object fills the entire page in InDesign, and it hasn't been scaled as it has the same size.
    The page looks fine in the SWF preview panel, I think something goes wrong in PDF.
    Please have a look at the screenshots below. The Page Thumbnails Bar shows three pages of identical size, the one in the middle is the video.
    The left screen is zoomed 75,4% the right 100%. This makes the black rim bigger and the movie smaller.
    Watching the PDF in full screen gives a similar black bar.

  • Resizing Video

    I am working on my first video editing project, and it involves taking some video I recorded myself and converted from mpeg to mov, and several mov clips that I took from a podcast. I want to put them together, but when I cut and paste them into the same document, the video I took takes up the whole screen, while the podcast's video (which is much lower resolution) gets stuck in a corner, with the rest of the screen being white. Is there any way I can resize one of the videos so they both take up the same amount of screen real estate?

    You can resize the larger movie when you export it using Quicktime Pro. See page 44 of the Guide for instructions.
    http://images.apple.com/quicktime/pdf/QuickTime7UserGuide.pd
    Actually you can resize the larger or smaller files when exporting but the results will look better if you go from large frame size to small instead of the other way around.

  • Is it possible to stream video into a PDF document with HTML 5?

    I'm trying to get around using flash to stream videos into my interactive PDF documents, as it's not supported on iOS. I'm wondering if there's a way to use HTML 5 to acomplish something similar. I have access to both InDesign CC and the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Pro.

    An alternative is to separate the quiz pages to a separate document and include it in the main PDF as a file attachment. You can create links in the main document to the attachment so that it opens in a new window. When this quiz document is closed, the main document will be open.

    Yes but this information is disturbing, can we delete it by applying a property to the video in acrobat or it is necessary to certify it so that it plays directly?
