Toggle pause & play a video in a slide

Does captivate has function to toggle pause & play a video in a slide using keyboard shortcut?

If using Slide Video, the Spacebar or F3 key may work.

  • Captivate 7 HTML 5 publish does not play multiple videos on same slide on Android devices

    Hello,
    I have a captivate module which has 2 videos on same slide. There are 2 buttons, clicking on which the videos appears. However when i test this on iPad or any Android device, it plays on 1 video. I used Event video. Can someone please help me on this?
    Regards
    Manoj

    I don't think you are missing anything. I am using the "Light_PAssage" animantion, but switching to the one you used has no impact.
    For me, if there is a text animation on slide one, it will play in File->Preview->Play Slide. It will not play in FIle->Preview->Project, From this slide, or Next 5 slides.
    The issue occurs in all my Captivate 5 projects, including projects that previously generated properly working outputs as recently as 2/23/2011.
    Is it possible it's related to Flash player? I am using Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX 10.2.152.26.
    I will send an example cptx to your email address. The example includes a blank slide one, and the text on slide 2 plays as expected in the previews and in the generated output. If I remove the blank slide 1, the text animation on the new slide 1 no longer plays.
    Thanks.

  • Play multiple video clips in slide show

    I have 4 video clips (or I can do it in 1 movie) I want to have a menu screen with one of the themes. Then I want the viewer to be able to choose clip 1 and then play all the way through the other 3 clips in succession. Or I want them to be able to click clip 3 and then have it play clip 3 and then through to clip 4 and return back to the menu. So basically I would like to work like a standard movie DVD you purchase at a store. Is this possible?
    I know you can put clips into slide shows (hence the title of this thread), but when I do that, it automatically starts to play through the clips. Is there a way to choose the slide show and then to give you the option in there to choose which clip your want, and then to play through the rest sequentially?

    Here's a technique I like to use...
    Create a shape -- It will be black and white where the white is what you want to show video. In the control tab of the shape you can change size/softness/location/aspect... etc.
    Lay the video on the track above - Change the VIDEO track's composite mode to TravelMatte-Luma.
    Use the video's motion tab viewer and image/wireframe in the canvas to center up the image you want.
    Add another shape above that and then video track and change to TravelMatte-Luma etc.
    The plus for this way is that you can change the video without have to reset all the croping and trying to match it all.

  • I inserted a HTML5 video in page, when I test it in a Browser, I see the poster image and controls, But when I click play button the video goes white, slider moves like its playing, but just white picture. There was no audio included in video. Please help

    Without a link, it's anybody's guess.
    It could be a problem the video rendering itself.  Which software did you use?
    Did you export to the 3 file types -- MP4, OGG and WEBM to support all browsers?
    Does your web server support those 3 MIME file types?

    buckmacie,
    has the video been completely downloaded onto your MacBook Pro when you start to play it? Or are you playing it while it downloads, AKA streaming it?

    Try sharing and see if the effect is still present when you play the shared movie.  It can happen when playing within iMovie if there are insufficient resources to play a full resolution.

  • Video played in safari cannot pause/play in horizontally rotated view

    When i play video from any websites using safari the videos plays well and when i pause the video by pressing the play/pause control button on the screen it works very fine but the problem is when I tilt the video to horizontal(landscape) view while the video is playing, pressing the play/pause control video doesn't stop. But this problem not found with any video that is played using video player(video files on the ipod memory).

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
      If still problem, then it appears that is the way it works.
    You can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and discuss it with them if you want

  • Pause/Play functionality not working with publish to HTML5

    Hi experts,
    I am creating a Captivate course to be deployed on iOS and publishing to HTML5. We are using custom buttons (not playback controls) for navigation to advance through the slides. My client would also like Play/Pause functionality for some of our embedded (MP4) videos. I used the following tutorial to create these buttons to toggle the Play & Pause functionality:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v2F0NyEAfs
    This worked PERFECTLY when previewed in a browser from Captivate, but does not work when published and launched in HTML5 format, from the same browser. I didn't use any Flash content, rollover functionalities, or anything noted in the limitations list for HTML5 output. The conditional functions I have set for my buttons are:
    PAUSE:
    Hide > SPI_Pause
    Show > SPI_Play
    Assign > cpCmndResume with 0
    Assign > cpCmndPause with 1
    PLAY:
    Assign > cpCmndPause with 0
    Assign > cpCmndRsume with 1
    Hide > SPI_Play
    Show > SPI_Pause
    The issue I am encountering is that the video completely pauses itself the moment the pause button displays on the stage (no matter where I place it in the timeline). I'm not pressing it or anything, it just initiates the cpCmndPause function and disregards all the others I have set. From there the conditional sequences are rendered useless as the video is already paused even though I didn't press the button. I've verified this happens anywhere I try to use the cpCmndPause function.
    I am running Captivate 6.1.0.309 on Mac OSX 10.8.2. I've tested the HTML5 output in Chrome and Safari with the same results. I did see a thread regarding a patch install (for 6.0.1xxx) that resolved some issues, but this appears to be an earlier version of what I have installed so this should have been resolved with my install?
    Please HELP!

    So, was this issue NOT resolved with the patch, or is this an entirely new/different issue?
    It seems as though this functionality is pretty basic, so I don't understand why this is a restriction with HTML5 output? Please advise, if there are restrictions with advanced actions that are not noted in the HTML5 limitations documentation, then they should be.
    Thank you, I too have a client deadline and have purchased this subscription based on the documentation Adobe has provided about the application's ability to publish to this new format.

  • HT4168 ePub file plays all videos the same...Any suggestion.?

    I created an ePub file today for the first. The pages document was good, included are three different videos in three separate chapters. The Pages document plays all three and an m4a music file perfectly. Somehow when it converts the document to the ePub file it somehow mixes the coding up. Each video shows the right image initially, but when played it plays the first video chosen for all of the videos.
    So, the initial images seems right but when selected the video defaults to whichever video is played first on my iPad3.
    Again the pages doc is fine.. Any suggestions? I am using OSX Lion and Pages 9

    Tim, thanks for your response.
    To diagnose easily and remove any additional implications of WMC, I shall comment only on WMP:
    Sometimes the Video won't start (remember i am just clicking on the IFO in the ripped DVD folder, not playing an actual DVD), although most times, it does start.
    When it starts, it seems to play OK , but if you try fast forward/rewind or selecting elsewhere in the video, it freezes.
    In all cases, no message is shown.
    When I click later in the video, WMP shows the desired time in the video but then seems to do nothing, although the control buttons SEEM to work (e.g. pause/play toggles). At this stage. WMP is showing around 40% CPU and 131Mb memory. No matter how long
    I wait, I can't resume the video. I can close WMP easily when this sort of problem happens, so it is not a total 'freeze'. CPU/RAM then reduces to zero.
    Restart WMP and video starts OK. Normal running is 2% CPU and 95Mb RAM.
    Try e.g. chapter settings and it 'freezes' with CPU up to 43%.
    If I double-click on a different IFO, it opens up in WMP, replacing the 'frozen' video and plays OK with CPU reverting to 2%.
    It exhibits this sort of performance on all videos on U: and V: (two partitions of the Seagate 3Tb drive), but ANY video on any other USB drive is fine.
    When I say 'freeze' it doesn't 'feel' like a software crash; it isn't as serious. However WMP cannot restart the video.
    Reminder that it always seems to work ok in VLC.
    Thanks
    Paul

  • Simple Pause/Play/Resume in timeline not audio

    So sorry if this is simple. I HOPE it is simple, it should be simple.
    I have a very simple looping timeline. I just want to create a TOGGLE function so that the user can pause and resume. Like a freeze frame. Or the space bar in some movie editing programs. Simple PAUSE.
    http://colorisrelative.com/RichMedia/templateROTATING.swf
    Everything I find for pause is a pause for a defined duration-- then it resarts on its own.
    I want to pause on the current frame and restart on the current frame when the user clicks.
    (or I keep finding stuff for video and audio). I am hoping there is real simple solution. I am really bad at actionscript. The following is the exent of my knowledge of actionscript:
    (click to start)
    http://colorisrelative.com/RichMedia/template3as2moosh.swf
    So thank you for letting me know if there is a simple pause/play toggle function!!!

    Thanks for showing the code you understand.  For what I'll offer, the approach is to use a variable that keeps track of what state the movie is in (paused or playing) and use that variable to decide how to make it the opposite of what it currently indicates.
    On the timeline create a variable:  var pausePlay = false; // this is if the movie starts plyaying right away without clicking anything
    Create a button that covers the whole stage like you did for the second exmple.  Add this code to the button:
    on(release){
         if(pausePlay){
              play();
              pausePlay = false;
         } else {
              stop();
              pausePlay = true;

  • Captivate 4 - Advanced Actions - Pause/Play buttons

    Hi - So I have created a 2 buttons - a pause and play - so my users can pause/play my captivate video (audio and actual slide). I have created my 2 variables for the buttons and I have created my advanced action. I'm assigning my pause to 'rdcmndPause', hide pause, show play. And I'm assigning play to 'rdcmndResume', hide play, show pause. It's not working. The pause/play buttons appear and disappear like they should - but my project isn't pausing or playing. Any thoughts?

    You can create and use Widgets for Adobe Captivate 4 in AS2 as well Mike.
    If you go to your Captivate Installation directory and find the "Gallery" folder and "Widgets" then you should be able to find some AS2 Widget Source files. Take a look at the "Flash Button" widget. This is a relatively simple widget and you can basically just use the code framework to make your own button widget.
    If your end users have low-end systems then it's probably safer to stay with AS2 and publish towards Flash Player 8.

  • How can I control the music that plays during Apple TV photo slide shows?

    I don't want to make my parents listen to Breaking Benjamin music as they watch my photo slide shows on Apple TV. Need something more sedate. But if a B.B. song is in my iTunes music library, it is a candidate for random selection as background music for my slide shows. How do I control what music plays during Apple TV photo slide shows?

    What I find is really silly, is the fact the music video's are listed under that artists albums in the Music menu. And when you go into the video 'album' (called 'Unknown' unless you change it) there is an option to shuffle the tracks. Clicking this just results in an error message. So, they should either remove that option if it is a video album, or, better yet, GET IT TO WORK. So silly of them to omit this.
    I have submitted feedback.

  • Unable to play/load video in Elements trial

    I just downloaded the trial edition of Elements 10 for the Mac, and am having a problem viewing the video. I've searched the forum and tried all the suggestions I've seen (permissions, root user, reboot, reinstall, etc.), but nothing seems to work. There are two basic problems I'm seeing:
    After loading a video file, either from an existing project downloaded from lynda.com or a video file on my Mac, double-clicking a clip and clicking the "Play" button does not play the video. The button changes from the play to pause icon, but nothing happens. Dragging the scroll bar or holding down the right arrow key advances the video, but it will not play by itself. Strangely, any audio files (also from lynda.com) do not play either.
    When trying to import from an older DV camcorder (JVC GR-D70U), the tape will play and can be controlled by Elements, and I can see video on the camcorder screen, but no video is shown in the Elements capture screen nor is any video captured. When I stop the capture, I'm told that no frames were captured.
    All the above steps work fine with iMovie (different lynda.com tutorial files, of course), and I can import, play, and do most anything that iMovie allows. Having run into the limitations of iMovie I really would like to move up a step or two; hence my trying out Premiere Elements 10. So far it's been a complete bust since it doesn't appear to allow me to play video, no matter what I try. It's such a basic problem that there must be one underlying reason that no video capture or playback works, but after playing with it for the past two days and googling everything I can find on the subject, I'm about to give up.
    The system is a Mac Pro (3,1), dual quad-core 2.8 GHz Xeons, 16 GB of memory, OS 10.6.8, with an NVidia GeForce 8800GT video card and two Dell 24 inch monitors. Not the latest and greatest, but it should be more than adequate for my simple needs (and I'm hoping that the video card is OK). Since things run fine with iMovie my assumption is that the video file formats are OK, especially since a simple import from a DV camcorder works on iMovie but not Elements 10. I've seen references that allude to the fact that some video formats don't work on the trial edition but will play OK if you buy the complete package, but unless there's a money-back guarantee, that seems a bit extreme.
    So, any ideas or additional things that I might try? As I said, it's probably one basic thing that is causing the video problems, but I've tried everything I can think of and have been able to find on the web/forums with no luck at all. Any suggestions, advice, or recommendations that anyone might be able to give woudl be greatly appreciated.
    - Ken

    Bill & John,
    Thanks for the pointers and info - very helpful; and informativel. My apologies for missing the file info via QuickTime - I should have figured that out by myself. In any case, I'll concentrate on the lynda.com files. I suspect that since this is probably a single problem affecting everything, figuring that issue out will solve the other file problems as well.
    Looking at at of the lynda.com videos with MediaInfo (thanks, John), I get the following screen shot (hope this comes through OK):

    For Bill's question about importing, I have numerous imported videos. A lot were translated from very old 8mm family tapes were done commercially. Others were imported via the Canpous ADVC 100, which is a hardware device that accepts S-VHS and other inputs from a video source and outputs digital video. Basically a way to grab and convert old video formats to a computer. All were done on a Mac, and all play very well via QuickTime.
    Any ideas from the above? And as always, I'm sure that this is some sort of setup/hardware/configuration problem on my part that is affecting all the videos, since I find it hard to believe that the video files themselves are at fault, especially since I took all the defaults on installation.
    I'll try installing on a MacBook Pro to see if the problem persists and let you know how that goes.

  • IPod Won't Play Songs, Videos Reset it, and it's Quite Sluggish

    I have a 30GB video iPod (the old version). Everything was working fine until a few days ago, when the power on my iPod ran out because I fell asleep while listening to it. The next day when I turned it on, it said "Connect to your Computer, Use iTunes to restore" So I promptly did that, and it worked fine until I tried to play a video on it. It showed a blank screen, so I reset it by pressing the Menu and Center buttons. Then it showed the "Connect to your computer" screen again. So I restored it, and it would be fine until it locked up again and showed the "Connect to your computer screen" again. I left it alone for about eight hours, and when I tried turning it back on again, it was back to normal.I've seen that screen probably 10 times in the past 4 days, and I've restored it, just as many times.
    Here's the list of problems I'm having:
    - the iPod won't play some songs when I click on them. It will show the Playing triangle in the upper left corner, but I hear no sound and the seeking bar doesn't move. I'll often have to click the Pause button, then hit it again to Play it, and then it will play the song.
    - The iPod is extremely slow. When dealing with songs or videos, it often takes a minute or more for the iPod to respond to my button clicks. Its hard drive isn't full, though; in fact I'm only using about 2 GB.
    - Videos lock up the iPod. Just about any time I want to play I video on it, it will show a blank screen and won't respond. Then I have to reset it and I get the "Connect to your computer" screen again. These aren't videos in the wrong format or anything, these are the same videos I've been playing on my iPod before with no problems, until recently.
    - Battery life is horrible. Although it hasn't been fully drained yet, judging from the power meter and how long I've been using it after it's fully charged, I'd guess it would only last about 2-3 hours. I would think it should last considerably longer, as the iPod is only about 3 months old.
    Has anybody been experiencing similar problems, or know what I can do to fix it?

    I've still had the same problems, but now when I try and turn on my ipod, it tells me to restore. When I do go to restore, itunes says that it cannot find the file needed to restore my ipod. The ipod itself also tried resetting itself, I guess, made it to the menu that asked what language I wanted it in, and then restarted again. This went on for an hour and a half, and I could't do anything. Is my ipod a lost cause?
