RTMP with a video file as source?

So the question is: Can I use FMLE with a video file (format?) as origin instead of using a camera? I know it beats the purpose of FMLE but if it can be done it would be of great use to us.
Thanks in advance

Hi Shashin,
I think there is some documentation that states how to best do this... Did you look into the doc for this (search for master detail files)?
However if this is a warning and your code works fine and loads correctly I would leave it as is.

Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. A sound/video technician told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+ r when restarting. Is this the right way?

Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. It started suddenly. Consulted a sound/video technician who told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+r when restarting. Is this the right way to clean up my Mac? And is it likely that some kind of bug is causing problems for Qlab to show video files? I´ve already tried with a bunch of different video files and sometimes Qlab plays them and sometimes not. I need the Qlab playlist for a theatre show and only have a week until showtime so starting to really worry. Is there anyone out there who can help?

Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
No idea why that was suggested.
You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.

Problem on Macbook Pro (16GB RAM, i7) with large video files

Hallo,
I have a recurring problem working with Premiere Pro CS6 on a new Macbook. THe Macbook has16GM RAM, i7 processor and I have the video files on my internal disc. THere is enaough space on the disk, aprox 250 GB free.
I have a Canon Legria HF28. After loading the videos from the camara it's .MOV files. When I have files about 1 GB it seems to work fine. But if I have a large file, e.g. 1 hour HD video in 3,5 GB size, it loads the video, but the playback and any kind of edits does not work properly. Sometimes I am able to start the video, but it stops after a few minutes and I can't rewind or move forward. In the most cases Adobe Premiere crashes. But also restart or opening in new projects does not help. I wonder if somebody has similar problems. My understanding is, that I have enought RAM, and fast processor, that it should actually work fine. The video files are OK. As they run in Quicktime with no problem. Also moving back and forth in the video is fine in a simple player, but not in Premiere.
Any ideas? And thank you for your help in advance.
Thomas

My 2011 MBP can take 16 GB RAM. macsales.com sells the 16 GB kit for $160 currently. Apple tests against the more commonly available RAM types when publishing hardware limits, so only reports 8 GB as a maximum.
8 GB RAM is abut $50 through macsales.com, so buy the default 4 GB regardless of where you decide to go.

Working with linked video files in Flash CS5

Hi,
I'm working on a project that involves making decisions that affect how a short film plays out.
The basic idea is link some video files to the flash file (don't embed because it loses a lot of quality) and have buttons appear at the end of each clip that will link to another place on the timeline where another video clip will play. Pretty simple.
However one problem I have encountered is the only way I can make the buttons appear after the video is finished, is by dragging out the single frame of video on the timeline to whatever length in seconds it is multiplied by the number of frames per second.
This is very tedious and not very effective despite solving the problem.
Is there some way to maintain each linked clip in a single frame and only move to the next frame (which contains the relative buttons) after the video is finished?
Of course if there is an even more effective way to do this please let me know as well.
Thanks,
Aaron

What you really want have is this:
Instead of using the timeline you should use Code to organize your application.
So you will have only one frame and only one scene and only one flvComponent.
import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
//Assuming you have 9 Videosegments to choose from
var videoNr:uint = 9;
// the buttons to navigate to the segments
for (var i:uint=0; i<videoNr;i++){
   var currentButton:String = "btn_"+i;
this[currentButton].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSegement);
// the array to store the names of the videosegments
var videoArray:Array = new Array();
for (var i:uint=0; i<videoNr;i++){
var currentVideo:String = "video_"+i+".flv";
videoArray.push(currentVideo);
//hide the buttons whenever the video plays and vice versa
flvPlayer.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, hideButtons);
flvPlayer.addEventListener(VideoEvent.STOPPED_STATE_ENTERED, showButtons);
flvPlayer.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
function hideButtons(e:VideoEvent):void{
for (var i:uint=0; i<videoNr;i++){
   var currentButton:String = "btn_"+i;
this.getChildByName(currentButton).visible = false;
function showButtons(e:VideoEvent):void{
for (var i:uint=0; i<videoNr;i++){
   var currentButton:String = "btn_"+i;
this.getChildByName(currentButton).visible = false;
// or make a switch clause where you define which buttons are visible after which segment
//switch(i){
//only 1 and 2 are visible after Segmenet 0 has played
//case 0: this.getChildByName("btn_1").visible = true;this.getChildByName("btn_2").visible = true;break;
//only 3 and 4 are visible after Segment 1 has played
//case 1: this.getChildByName("btn_3").visible = true;this.getChildByName("btn_4").visible = true;break;
//function to choose from the videos
function playSegment(e:MouseEvent):void{
var whichButton:String = e.currentTarget.name.substr(4,1);
//gives the IndexNr of the Video that should play
flvPlayer.source = videoArray[uint(whichButton)];
flvPlayer.autoplay = true;
// you want the actual video to stop on the last frame
   flvPlayer.autorewind = false;

Quality issues with inserted video file

Hello,
can anyone help me with a video problem in Captivate 6.1, please!
I’m currently working on a Captivate project where I need to include a movie file.
I have the same movie in two different formats .mov and .wmv, which are both looking just great when I watch them with any player on my Windows7 system or on the Mac of my colleagues.
When inserting the movie the encoding to .flv takes place by the Media Encoder, which also seems to be working just fine.
But when playing the project in Captivate, the inserted video shows such a bad quality, that I’m not able to use it like this.
I already have tried different things (inserted as event video or multi-slide synchronized video; changed the slide quality to high; encoded the movies to .f4v files with the Media Encoder; installed a new windows codec package) but nothing leads to an acceptable result.
Which settings do I need to change in Captivate/in the Media Encoder to receive a good video quality?
What else could I do to improve the quality of movies for Captivate projects?
Is there any minimum requirements for movies concerning file format, encoding, or anything else?
Thank you so much in advance for your help,
Sabine

Hello Varun,
thank you very much for your reply.
I tried unchecking the compression options, doesn’t help
I haven’t yet published the project, the problems occur already when playing the project in Captivate.
The project resolution is 1280x720.
The resolution of the .mov-file of the video is 1920x1080 (12000Kbps, if this information is any helpful…)
The resolution of the .wmv-file of the video is 1280x720 (3000Kbps…)
Maybe the problem occurs already during encoding, the .flv that is created by the Media Encoder doesn’t look that good anymore, I just played it separately (not in a Captivate project).
Are there any settings I could check for the Media Encoder?
Thanks,
Sabine

Trouble with Playing Video Files

I have a new macbook pro and I am having trouble playing video files. It seems like it is having trouble with the size of the file. I need to get this figured out because I will be doing a lot of work with video including using final cut to edit. Any suggestions for me to speed up video play?

Any suggestions for me to speed up video play?
Max out your ram.
It seems like it is having trouble with the size of the file.
Please clarify.
Are the videos home made, downloaded from the net, browser videos, streaming videos, etc.

Software available for working with large video files?

Hello,
I'm working in PP CS6. I was wondering if there are any workarounds or 3rd party plugins/software that
make working with really large video files easier and faster?
Thanks.
Mark

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for helping. This is the first time I shot video with my Nikon D5200. It was only a 3 minute test clip
set at the highest resolution, 1920x1080-60i. I saw the red line above the clip in PP CS6 and hit the enter
key to render the clip.
It took almost 18 minutes or so to render the clip. This is probably normal but I was wondering if there is
a way to reduce the file size so it doesn't take quite as long to render. I just remember a few years back
that when the Red camera was out, guys were working with really huge files and there was a program
from Cine something that they used to reduce the file size and make it more manageable when editing.
I could be mistaken. I've been out of the editing look for a few years and just getting back into it.
Thanks.

Aperture Library on Internal HDD with Managed Video Files

After spending quite a few hours reading through the discussions on how to set up Aperture Libraries and the best practices on where to import files and how to treat them (managed/referenced), i'm finally about to dive in, but there's still one unresolved question which i hope someone can shed some light on ...
From what i can gather:
1. It's best to keep the main Aperture Library on your Internal Startup Drive
2. Use a mix of Managed and Referenced files
3. Keep Highly rated Photos and Recent Ones as Managed
4. Relocate older Managed Photos to an External HD to limit the size of the main Library
5. Managed and Referenced files are not fixed, they can be changed at any time
6. If possible, it's best to keep everything on one big Library so that all files can be found in one place, instead of using multiple libraries
My Internal HD is only 212GB and there's only about 100GB free at the moment. I've got a 2TB and another 1TB (USB connected) External HDD as well.
If i am just working with photos, i could probably juggle things around with the 70+GB avail space on my Internal Drive (assuming 10-15% is left free), but even then, it will be quite a tight setup that doesn't leave much room for growth. The thing is, i've got lots of large video files which are taking up most of the space, and there doesn't appear to be much option to keep them as managed files within the main Aperture Library.
As it is, my iPhoto library (which i've just moved from the Internal HD to the External HDD) is already about 90+GB (over half must be from videos). And i've got 200+GB more photos and videos to import into Aperture too. Before starting, i really want to make sure i've got a suitable infrastructure and system, but the rather limited space i've got on my internal Drive and the large storage requirements for my video files has got me stumped on how to proceed.
For users who have quite a fair bit of videos, what's the best way to use Aperture with managed files on the Internal drive? Is it just a matter of getting as large a Startup drive as possible, getting a Firewire connected external drive (that's faster than the USB connected ones), or is there some better work around?
One option is to keep the videos as referenced files, but (i think i read) that they won't be visible in Media Browser (and iMovie?) unless they are managed. After importing and cataloguing the videos in Aperture, i would like to access and edit them in iMovie, which is why i thought it would be essential to keep them as managed files.
Thanks for any advice and thoughts shared. It's been a long journey over the last few days to do backups, upgrade to Mountain Lion, buy Aperture, upgrade iPhoto, and read through countless discussions in these amazing forums. Hopefully, that first import is only around the corner.

Thanks for your feedback Kirby.
You're welcome. Sorry more knowledgeable folks haven't chirped up.
You're right, getting a larger internal drive is the way forward. It appears that (from Apple) 750 GB seems to be one of the largest sizes
I would call OWC (or browse the site) and see what the largest drive you can install is. You might also look into replacing your system drive with an SSD, and putting a large drive in place of the Super Drive (if you have on).
750 GB should be big enough to comfortably hold your currently-being-worked-on video files. If it's not, you should probably upgrade to a Mac Pro.
You can put not-currently-being-worked-on files on external storage (in Aperture-speak, convert them from Managed Originals to Referenced Originals). Aperture makes it very easy to convert your Originals from Managed to Referenced and back.
(Just to be clear, the distinction is whether or not the files are inside the Aperture Library package. You could have Referenced Originals on your system drive.)
I've currently got a mid-2010 MBP, so i think there's a USB2.0 and a Firewire 800 port. I presume getting a External HD connected via Firewire 800 is a good temp solution.
Yes, it is. FW-800 works fine for Libraries and for Referenced Originals. I don't recommend relying on USB-2 (FW-400 is OK as a part-time compromise). Note that the performance needed for a Library is much higher than that needed for Referenced Originals (they are read into system RAM). If you need to cut corners, the first place to do it with the storage for your Referenced Originals.
There must be many other video heavy iPhone users who come across this issue with iPhoto or Aperture, but it's strange that there aren't too many discussions about this topic.
Aperture is really a photography workflow tool. The DAM is excellent -- and it can handle video. But nearly everyone who works regularly with video uses other programs for their workflow.

Problem with some video files after upgrading to iPhoto'11 ...

Hi,
I just realized that after converting from iPhoto'09 to iPhoto'11, I found 176 small video files that don't play anymore. All problem files, can be found in iPhoto with a «.MOV» search. When played I get this error message (it's in French :
The problem is that I cannot find any file nested in my iPhoto Library corresponding to the iPhoto's info (name or size). I get no corresponding file. Also most of these «.MOV» files seem to have another file that plays and that is bigger. It could be the original file or maybe my real file ... As an example, one «.MOV» file is named MVI_6480Web and the original that works is named MVI_6480. Not all problem files as the Web suffixe though.
I did not pass all those 176 files one by one, so I am not sure what is the exact problem. I wonder if some of you can help me understand what is going on ?
Regards.

you bought an upgrade to a separate application. i'm sure the iLife'11 manuals don't state a guarantee of compatibility with any appletv?
i'm not saying this is definitely the cause, but in the past there has usually been a requirement for an update when new iLife products were released.
Is it so unlikely to have an upgrade of ATV 1stG ?
the original appletv has been replaced and as such i doubt there will be any more software updates at all.

Premiere Pro CS3 crash with many video files

Hi
I got back from my Ski vacation with many short (few minutes) videos which I took on Canon P&S camera, about 50 files.
I imported the 50 files to Premiere and tried to work on a movie, but everything works slow and every few commads the premiere crashes.
I notice that for each new file I add to the project 20K of rams are used - 1G for 50 files. I also get message of low resources from premere which recommend to save my works.
The video are standard video (not HD) 30fps, and the project is also standard.
Why is this happening?
Does the premiere have a limitation for number for files to be imported?
Does it have problem with the video format?
How can I overcome this and get a stable editing environment?
Thanks

Sorry for the CAPS Lock, I was writing from my mobile, and for some reason it was locked
so you do not recommend any of those codec package. How are you dealing with all video and audio formats, and subtitles? ffdshow does all for me.
dont' worry I dont have Klite installed
so you belive that if one of two codecs you recommened installed well and working it will solve my problem and work much better then FFDSHOW
I also have the option for converting the file to another format. under what name will I found a sutible format in the conversion software?

Help with HD video files

i have a Samsung VP-HMX20C that dosen't record in AVCHD but the generated fill is a H.264 codecs, quick time plays this files
i save my sourse file on an external 7200rpm HDD connected by firewire 800 at my iMac 2.8 (last version) with 4Gb of RAM
FCE dosen't import files from my camcoder, but if i copy file on imac HDD and import in iMovies it just copies if i connect the camera it copies and convert in .mov
now i don't really now wich difference there is from the .mov and the .mp4 file
but editing those files in FCE is not really so confortable because is a littele slow on moving the fram position on the clip
so:
* could it be the the fact that my clips are on a firewire 800 HDD a problem?
* can i convert, with some software... maybe quicktime pro, my sources video in apple intermidiate codec, or some format that doesn't need render and speeds up editing in FCE?

Try using MPEG Streamclip to the correct size and frame rate with the correct codec.

Need Help with SWF Video Files

Hello there. I'm experiencing a new problem with Presenter.
I'm using WinXP, PowerPoint 2002 SP3, and the latest version of
Presenter. I have a presentation that contains many video clips.
I've converted them all to SWF files and have inserted them on each
slide via the Slide Properties dialog box, and inserted
corresponding "silences". However, when I publish my presentation
locally, instead of showing the SWF video in the top right corner
of the screen as it is supposed to do, I get a mirror image of the
current slide on that small upper right window. It is like the
presentation is embedding a copy of the slide where the video is
supposed to be. This never used to happen, so I'm baffled. Any
thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You probably will be able to play most of those problem files by using this freeware: VLC
If you want more information you would likely get more responses by posting in the Quicktime for MacOS forum:

Working with uncompressed XFL files and source control | Learn Flash Professional CS5 & CS5.5 | Adobe TV

Use the Flash uncompressed XFL file format with a source control system to enable designers and developers to collaborate on Flash projects. Contributors can edit different assets simultaneously and see updated assets as soon as they are checked in.
http://adobe.ly/x0GHI4

This is a great overview of sequential use of source control with the xlf format. However, typically in a team setting, team members are working at the same time. Our team has found that many of the xlf files have one or more timestamp related entries that get updated even when no functional changes have occurred. This is particularly true of DOMDocument file, which timestamps changes, marks library elements as expanded or not, and tracks a published history. All of these changes conflict with anyone who is simultaneously working on the xlf. Any tips on how to deal with these issues?

Having trouble with DVD Video files. Please Help! :)

Hi I recently got a film DVD I wanted to take a clip off. However although I can watch the section I want in Windows Media Player, when I import the film into Premiere - some of it is missing! there are 4 files '4-1',4-2','4-3',4-4' which make up the movie. I can load them all in but 4-3 is missing the last 15-20 minutes, even though I know its there - cos this file is the same size as the previous one which is full length. Does anyone know why this would be? The DVD is unencrypted.
Please help - its quite annoying that the small section of film I want is the bit that won't appear! Thank you very much
Rich

Based on this one line:
The DVD is unencrypted.
I was assuming that it was not protected. However, as you point out, some aspects might be, and the OP might not be completely aware of this.
If there is protection, I strongly urge anyone to respect that, regardless of their intended use of the material. Copy protection is there for a very good reason. Regardless of what one might be able to do, they should be 100% ethical, and honor any/all copy protection. This is true for material from a videographer, or from a commercial studio. Should you need to use the material in such a DVD-Video, you should contact the author to get first permission, and then the original source material, that has not undergone the MPEG-2 compression to DVD-Video.
Again, I assume that the OP knows that this is NOT an issue, and will not figure into the problem. In that case, all above does NOT apply in this case, but some other reader might make note of it.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Pro 2.0 slows when dealing with larger video files

I'm having issues with Premiere Pro 2.0 slowing to a crawl and taking 60-90 seconds to come back to life when dealing with larger .avi's (8+ mins). When I try to play a clip on the timeline, drag the slider over said clip, or play from a title into said clip on the timeline, Premiere hangs. The clips on question are all rendered, and the peak file has been generated for each different clip has well. This is a new problem; the last time I was working with a larger clip (45+ mins, captured from a Hi-8 cam), I had no problems. Now, I experience this slow down with all longer clips, although I've only dealt with footage captured from a Hi-8 cam and also a mini-DV cam. This problem has made Premiere nearly unusable. I'm desperate at this point.
System:
CPU: P4 HT 2.4ghz
Ram: 2x 1gb DDR
Video: ATI Radeon 9000 Series
Scratch Disk: 250gb WD My Book - USB 2.0 (I suspect this might be part of the problem)
OS: XP Pro SP2
I'm not on my machine right now, and I can definitely provide more information if needed.
Thanks in advance.

Aside from some other issues, I found that USB was just not suited for editing to/from, and on a much faster machine, that you list.
FW-400 was only slightly better. It took FW-800, before I could actually use the externals for anything more than storage, i.e. no editing, just archiving.
eSATA would be even better/faster.
Please see Harm's ARTICLES on hardware, before you begin investing.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] Oops, I see that Harm DID link to his articles. Missed that. Still, it is worth mentioning again.
Also, as an aside, PrPro 2.0 has no problem on my workstation when working with several 2 hour DV-AVI's, even when these are edited to/from FW-800 externals.
