Trouble nesting video in scrollable frame

Hi I'm having trouble getting a video into a scrollable frame. I am using a scrollable frame to make a pull out tab on my page. When I cut and paste the video and a tab into the container frame the only folio overlay option i am given is video, it will not let me make the frame scrollable. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can get around this by creating a scrollable frame with dummy content.
Delete all the content after setting the scrollable frame options and then
pasting the video in.BUT
You may want to rethink this by using an MSO instead. AFAIC, using a
scrollable frame for this is not a great idea and can, depending upon the
size of the scrollable area, interfere with the navigation to the next
article or page.

Scrollable Frames lagging

I am having trouble with images within scrollable frames. They are taking a while to load and appear white until fully loaded. The images are at the lowest res/size possible already.. Is there anything else I can do to help it load faster?

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm using Folio Builder 12.3.3, Indesign5.5. Mac.
I laid out several pages using the same scrollable frames but out of those about 30%does not function properly. These are simple scrollable frame with a vertical action and I did everything by the book--dimensions and all. I also tried tagging the elements in the Layers panel but had no result. These 30% were working just fine before but as I upload it again and again due to adjustments, it got stuck. My last resort is to create the articles again from scratch but then I may never know what the problem was.

Video nested into scrollable frame

hi everyone...in past versions of dps tools, i can made a scrollable frame with photos and video in one group into the scrollable frame ..now i can't (the folio overlay option is not activate)....do you know why? or how can i make that now? is for the v29 dps tools?
thanks

Hi Bob -- I just encountered this bug. I wanted to paste a set of images and a video in a scrolling frame, which as discussed in January, doesn't work anymore. I'm in v30. Have they fixed this? What I had to do was make 2 sets. One group of images and one group of images and the video. Pasted just the images, set up the scroll, then deleted them and pasted in the second set with the video. Ack! Any better way? Thanks, Beth

Scrollable Frames canceled out by video on page

I had wired up a scrollable frame (tab) at the bottom of my page. Tested and everything works fab. I added a layer above this scrollable area and dropped several video clips into the layout. Those clips are part of the main page content.
As soon as I did this, the container and the scrollable content placed into that container doesn't render when the file is Published/tested. It fails on both Desktop and iPad Viewer.
If I hide the layers contain the video clips the scrollable frame content returns and works just fine. Is this a known issue that video even being present on the same page kills scrollable content?
New to using scrollable frames along side video content, and I haven't tried the myriad of hacks to get it to work. Want to start with the obvious questions... should this work?
Thanks
Steve

I've made some progress, and have also made some odd discoveries.
So, I was able to make the MSO work - but it doesn't work consistently. I went back to the original approach of putting the tab on the first state, and the videos on the next 3 states, This way the tab starts things off, and as soon as someone taps the invisible buttons to jump to any video, those videos play fullscreen.
The trick is a tap to return to the first state where you are then able to drag the tab (scrollable frame) up. It might trip a few users, but is a trade off, where most people will just try to drag it again and will have success. Acceptable for this secondary content.
This page is the last page in a 9 page stack. When I "Preview" the page on Desktop or direct to iPad. the page loads up by itself and everything works great!
However, when I upload the whole article/stack to the DPS server, and download it. I of course have to swipe down from page 1. When I arrive on page 9, the videos work just fine, but the tab is gone on the first state. It doesn't render at all.
Once you click to a video, you see the "dummy" tab appear on those other states. Clicking in that place holder area to return to the first state where the tab should be removes the "dummy" tab, and the actual tab doesn't render.
As you can imagine - this is maddening!
Thoughts I have... could something on the other pages be messing it up? Possibly, but every page in the rest of the article have static content, and 1 scrollable frames. No other videos OR multistates. And all the other scrollable frames work 100% of the time.
Is there a limit to the number of scrollable areas and I've hit it? I'm going to start trashing pages one at a time to see if I strike a nerve. But I'm grasping at straws.
If you think of something, all suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!
Steve

Scrollable frame is text: anchored object in text can not be button?

Following example: A textframe. With an anchored object (group). Paste textframe in other frame to make scrollable frame (pan only). Select anchored frame in already pasted into textframe, make button for anchored object (go to state).
Does not work, button does nothing (and yes a converted it to a button after the paste into other frame as last step).
Not possible?
DPS v18

If you want the button in the scrollable frame to control an MSO state, the button/scrollable frame needs to be part of the MSO. It is an InDesign limitation that buttons cannot control videos, audio clips, or MSOs unless they're on the same "level" in the document.

Where is the "Scrollable Frame" on the Overlay Creator panel?

I can't seem to find the "Scrollable Frame" on my Overlay Creator panel and now I'm caught in the middle. Is there anything that I missed? I can only see the following:
Hyperlink
Slideshow
Image Sequence
Audio & Video
Panorama
Web Content
Pan & Zoom.

I know you mean the other Bob, but the purpose of that is to have something to align with the edge of the scrollable content.
Without the dummy content you wouldn’t be able to position the content. Try doing it without that and you’ll see the problem.

Problems with scrollable frames

I have an old DPS file that has videos inside a scrollable frame and they work fine. However, i am updating my files and in the new CS6/cc when i create the content, I group all the items, cut and paste into the smaller textframe and when i go to the Folio Overlays panel with the text frame highlighted, the option for scrollable frames is greyed out. Video is highlighted but it will not allow me to create a scrollable frame. Does anyone have a recommendation for what i am doing wrong.

You are correct, I missed your point.
I got it this time though and it worked!
Wow, nifty work around. Thanks.
Now that I have successfully embedded video within the scrollable frame, I am concerned about the 2 GB max from apple.
I researched streaming video and successfully tested this, however it seems the frame for the video needs to be scaled to the preferred viewable size because there is not an option for “play full screen”. As you can see in the screenshot below, I am trying to place the video under the play button using streaming content.
Do you know if this is possible?

Anchoring an object within a scrollable frame

Hi there,
I am trying to create a page that scrolls horizontally through a series of images. I am able to do this but I am having trouble anchoring my company logo so that it does not move when I scroll through the images. I have seen on apps that this is possible... can someone give me some advice?
Thanks!

Turn your company logo into a two-state MSO that's set to Auto Play and Stop At Last Image. Put the logo MSO on top of your scrollable frame, and you'll be able to scroll the frame behind the logo. Let us know if that works, or if you're looking for a different effect.

Pullout sidebar help! When hidden the scrollable frame blocks interactive content beneath it.

Ok, I feel like this is one of those things that has a really easy answer and I'm just missing it but I have been kicking it around for a few weeks and can't come up with anything.
Really basic problem: I have a pull out sidebar for my app as a scrollable frame and it works fine. It is the top layer of course because it has to always be available from any part of the app.
The issue, as I said in the title, is that even when the sidebar is hidden and you can only see the pullout tab, the entire scrollable frame is still invisibly blocking all interactive content beneath it. So for example any buttons on that side of the app arent clickable, no video controlls, etc etc. Anytime you click on that side of the app it thinks you are trying to manipulate the scroll frame.
I don't know what to do!
Thank you for any ideas.

Redesign the page. That's simply how it works. The entire space of the frame is always live.
Try dragging in the middle where there's no content and you'll see that the content still scrolls.

Button in Scrollable Frame not working

Hey, I read lots of other questions concerning this topic but could'nt find a sollution
I am working with CS5.5 and the newest version of the Folio producer. I have a page witz a Video, some buttons and a scrollable Frame where are some pictures inside. These pictures ae grouped together and then anchored inside of the frame. Scrolling these images works fine, but when convert the pictures into Buttons and and link them to a random website nothing happens when I click them.
Is it only possible to test this on the iPad? At this moment I can only test in the Content Viewer Deskop Application. I have already tried everything...putting layers to the front or background, defining the pictures as Buttons before or after putting them into the scrollable frame...nothing is changing...
Now I am despairing a bit. Hope somebody can help me!

Yes yes, I know. But makes it a difference with this issue? Problem is: I have the iPad I use for testing only from while to while and I dont get it back before monday. Not a very good starting point to build a folio, I know...

Hyperlink button inside scrollable frame

Is it possible to put a button that scrolls with the content inside a scrollable frame ?
I've tried with the hyperlink overlay and several ways with the button overlay, also tried to define the button action after defining the scrolling content (Bob suggests this in a topic from some months ago) but nothing seems to work, it's if the button doesn't exist.
When putting the folio online to check it on the iPad I always got a 'upload failed network failure' message but when clicking the try again button the upload restarts and at the end I got the 'content uploaded' message. Don't know if that could cause the button troubles.

I've had no problem getting buttons in scrolling frames to work so without seeing your files, there's not much I can offer besides making sure the links are created properly.

I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.

I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.The video breaks up and pixelizes when it's directly imported from the memory card. That makes the video useless. Why does this happen? It doesn't do that in any other video editing software. Thanks for the help.

More info please:
Type of camera?
Was the card formatted in the camera doing the shooting?
Type of files the camera is set to record?

Trouble Uploading Videos To iPod Nano via iTunes

I am having trouble uploading videos to my new iPod Nano (4th Gen? The new Nano-chromatic one). I have the latest iTunes version (iTunes 8), and have followed all the Help topics related to this problem. When I have converted the video (which i have downloaded to my computer from a DVD I have purchased of the TV Series "Black Books") to the iPod friendly format (following the advice from the iTunes Help section) I then try to 'click and drag' the converted movie file into my iPod under the Devices heading, a window pops up saying:
""BLACK_BOOKS Movie 01" was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod."
This confuses me as all the tech specs about the new iPod nanos say that they are able to play videos. And considering as how I have converted the file to one supposedly supported by the iPod I do not understand why it can't be copied to, and then played by my iPod.
I have followed all the Help sections as suggested and the problem is still NOT resolved.
Can anyone help?

I had the same problem.
First you need to download handbrake http://handbrake.fr/?article=download
Then run the file through it, and the output file will work with your chromatic.
