Video and slideshow combination... help!!

Can anyone help?
I need to create a flash file with video but at specific frames/times in the video I need an image to appear next to the video. This is the result of a research conference where the speakers were filmed as they talked through their presentation. The flash file needs to show this video alongside the slides from the speakers powerpoint presentation.
I already have the video converted using the media encoder and the slides from powerpoint converted to jpegs.
I just need to know how I select a time/frame in the video and presumable generate some actionscript code to load an image at that playback time in the flash file.
A rather clunky version of what I am trying to di can be found at: http://dangoren.com/garry/pearson/
Your help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Steve

You need to set events for the player to trigger on speciffic frames. You should look for "cue points" examples.
Then you need to place the slides for example in frames in a movie clip ad use the cue points events to switch them.
you will need to:
1) set cue points
2) set event for cue points
3) switch the slides
These are separate tasks that depend on your project but you can search for them separately in the forums.

Database organizational tool for videos and slideshows and movies? (mac)

hi all,
i am a mac user who recently purchase Creative Suites and i am on a long march organizing my files into databases now that the office is set up and i am on Mac. i have one major remaining difficulty i am really hoping someone can steer me in the right direction.
i am trying to see if there is software or a database that would let me organize my videos/slideshows/movies etcetera.
since i have ported to mac from PC i am seeing the following file types in my "video + slideshow" folder: wmv, pdf, 3gp, avi. mov, mp4 and m4v - which is where i have temporarily gathered up all this information. my recollection is that these were either downloaded from the internet, created on some PC software or created using Keynote, Aperture or iPhoto. i am currently using Aperture to store my images.
i am also going to post on the mac forum but if there is an adobe product that does this exceptionally well i would be happy to buy it.
THANKS in advance for any help or advice on this.

hi curt,
thanks. apologies in advance for the long post and slightly off-topic explanation. i am trying to organize things a little better and right now i have way too much data and not enough help organizing it. basically i am trying to move to a database management workflow because there is too much to remember in terms of where my data is. also - it is not LINKED together very well and the workflow to produce the final product is a little disjointed. basically i don't mind using Spotlight to search for files to get it all organized but once i find all my data i would like to get it linked up in a way that is better than dropping it in folders.
can i please ask you how you /use/ bridge then? i mean, right now i am /exporting/ files from my IMAGE database and putting these into folders and then getting these files into the Photoshop (editing), Illustrator (raster work) and InDesign (formatting and linking) workflow. so now i have bulk files that were used to create InDesign posters (for instance). but this means that there is no organizational feedback to my IMAGE DATABASE in Aperture. i simply store the files in there and then i /export/ them to folders. the folders have organized images for each project and they have all the data associated with the project but this does not translate back to my image database unless i were to then go ahead and IMPORT the exported images from these folders and create a /new/ Project for these images which were used in this particular project.
do you know what i mean? i mean i have a database that organizes my images but then i use them external to this database and i am not going to /manually/ go through the database and TAG the images so i know they were used in so and so project. conversely - it seems like it is asking a lot of me to TAG the images before they go out of the database since i am /working/ and to keep track of all the data i am exporting to the desktop on the chance that i may use it - by TAGGING it for the project so that i can tell what was used in this project by looking in the database - just seems unworkable.
i mean, i have thousands and thousands and thousands of images and i have hundreds of projects and i am trying to figure out if there is a slightly better way to keep all this linked together in some way. right now my IMAGE DATABASE is basically divorced from my PROJECT FOLDERS.
i know that sounds off-topic but this also applies to my videos and slideshows and presentations. right now i have IMAGES organized in Aperture and i use these in a slightly more organized way because i am (now) preparing slideshows in Aperture so i have to organize the images in Aperture. but if i create a KEYNOTE presentation i am /exporting/ the images to the desktop, possibly re-arranging them, storing them in a folder and then creating a KEYNOTE presentation.
all of this seems very hinky and there is also the added problem that i have duplicated my images in many cases with some stored in Aperture and some stored on the desktop when i need them for a project.
i was hoping there was some pro that could tell me - "well, what i do is that i store the files in Lightroom, bridge them lets me see them when in am in Photoshop or AI or InDesign, then i OPEN the file from within Photoshop, edit it and Lightroom SAVES THE EDITED FILE and then i go into InDesign and bridge lets me see the files in Lightroom and i LINK THE EDITED FILE to my InDesgin poster and Lightroom automatically stored all the images for this poster in a dedicated folder for this project.
you know what i mean? i mean, if there was some linked aspect to bridge-LR-AI-PS and InDesign that let me avoid all this exporting from Aperture i would be really happy. then if i could store the resulting ID file or Presentation or Video or whatever with some kind of LINK to the original data this would be a huge improvement over here.
THANKS

Converting and storing videos and slideshows to/in MAC

i am trying to figure out where to store my videos and slideshows (i use Aperture) but before i get there i am noticing that i am getting an error on some of my file types and also that i have a lot of different file types.
does anyone know how to fix this error or why it is coming up?
does anyone know a convenient way to convert these various file types so they are Mac friendly and if so what software and command to use?
i have EPS, PDF, mov, mpg, mp4, m4v and wmv etcetera
ideally i would also like to STORE these in one place if at all possible.
i currently have Aperture and Adobe Bridge.

Storing and converting videos and slideshows (Mac OS)

hi all, new user here.
i have a host of files with some coming from my PC days and am currently using Aperture to store and create m4v and mov files.
right now i have AVI, mpg, mp4, PDF etcetera etcetera that i am trying to organize. when i doubleclick on some of these files they open in AME and i am guessing this means that i need to associate the file type with some other software or if i should convert them to a more convenient format such as mov or m4v which Aperture recognizes. so right now these files are just sitting in a file folder in various formats since Aperture does not appear very good at recognizing some of these video formats.
i would like to /store/ this data in a database or in software that will allow me to get it all organized and i am wondering if Bridge is a good place to do this or if user recommend LR or if there is in fact an adobe product to get this data organized.
i think ideally i would put all images and slideshows and videos in one place but i am guessing this means i would have to convert my videos to some file format (say mov or m4v for Aperture) so i am also wondering if this is a good way to go and if Adobe Media Encoder is the proper tool for this.
any sage advice is really welcome.
P.S. i also have PDF and EPS which both don't seem to play nice with aperture.

Although there sometimes are problems with certain video files Bridge is the correct application to start for organizing your files. You can use the filter panel to only show certain file types, you can rename, rate and label the files, etc etc.
Some video files should be able to play in the preview window. It pays multiple pages PDF also in the preview window although there can be problems with PDF from InDesign showing all content.
You can use the folder panel for easy drag and drop files in different folders.
Anyway, before experimenting make sure to have a proper back up of your files and then start playing around freely to learn more about Bridge.

IPad 2 and Apple TV video and slideshows

I have an Apple TV that works well with Netflix or showing photos from my iPad or iPhone. But if I try to stream a slideshow or a video from my iPad, MacMini, or iPhone, all I get is the first image and a whirling wheel and the slideshow or video never plays.
I am using an Apple Airport Extreme and a Airport Express to extend the network. We have 2 iPads in the home, plus 3 iPhones and 1 iPod Touch. Is the network just overloaded? Is there something I should do to correct the network?

Note: not all apps are enabled for airplay. Now if you're referring to the Photo and iPod app those should work. Have you tried restarting the apps? Rebooting the device? I assume both are on the same network?
See if this helps as well

Trying to make imovie incorporating trailer, video and slideshows

i am trying to make a video in iMovie starting with a trailer, then a movie (video clip), then a slideshow, another movie, another slideshow, another movie, then my last slideshow. I burned a copy, but it won't play continuously. I have to keep going back to the menu to choose the next section. How can I set it so it goes from the trailer right into the movie then into the slideshow, etc.....?

i didn't mean to say iMovie. I meant to say iDvd. I have finalized the trailer as an imovie and I have exported the slideshows into itunes and dragged them into my iDvd. They are all there and will burn just fine, I just don't know how to get them to play continuously without my intervention when they burn!!!!

Idvd project with video and slideshow for dvd-rom file access

working on an idvd project with both a video section and photos in a few photo galleries. its' a slightly more complex project, but still only 2gb on a 4gb disc. After we burn (with all dvd-rom contents checked, and advance>edit dvd-rom contents shows photo files all there) the finished disc doesn't have files available in the dvd-romcontents! its' driving us mad as simpler projects are burning properly, with both photo and video files available. Could there be some kind of conflict occurring? does anyone have any ideas?!
17" Desktop G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Steve,
It sounds like Windows Movie Maker Live was used. The regular WMM will Export to DV-AVI Type I, which will Import into PrPro much better.
I would recommend converting the WMA/WMV to DV-AVI, and Importing that into a DV NTSC (if you are in NTSC-land) Project.
Then, you would use Encore to do the DVD authoring. There are several ways to get the material on your Sequence into Encore. ADL (Adobe Dynamic Link) is probably the easiest way to do this.
What is your exact workflow from PrPro, into Encore?
What brand of blank media are you burning the DVD to?
This ARTICLE will give you some tips.
Good luck, and let us know a bit more,
Hunt
PS - Multiplexing is the function of combining the Audio and the Video into one file. There are usually two choices, "None" and then often "DVD." For None, you will get two separate files - one for the Audio and one for the Video. With "DVD" you should get a muxed (combined) file. Actually, the separate Audio and Video is the preferred way, if one is doing an Export from PrPro, and then an Import to Encore. One would Import the Video into Encore as a Timeline, and the Audio as an Asset. In Encore, just drag the Audio file from the Project Panel to the appropriate Timeline, where it will snap into place.

Videos and Music Sync Help

My Problem:
I have lots of music on my iPhone, I also have a few videos on my iPhone, I WOULD like both of them on at the same time, but for some reason, even though I tick the 'Manage Music and Videos Manually' manually being the operative word, it either lets me have one or the other, if I sync videos I lose ALL music, if I sync Music I lose ALL videos, the manual manage tick disappears EVERYTIME I sync either....WHY IS THIS HAPPENING..???
SHAME ON YOU APPLE...

I think I may have solved the issue paradis, I found if you sync the videos you want onto the IPhone, then goto Library (Top Left) and Music, you will have to literally drag all your music across to the iPhone in Directories (Left Middle)..I then went to File/Sync iPhone....that seemed to have worked for me..Let me know if it does for you..;-)

KEYNOTE various videos and trouble combining

I have a large Keynote wedding video that is bits of five songs and photos are extremely sensitive to audio. I am handicapped and can't manually click each section and don't want to burn it due to the decrease in color quality. Is there a way I can tie each section with the corresponding music together and not make one large song? There seems to be a second or two change when going from Garageband to Keynote etc.and one second throws everything off. I have recorded each section but have never presented a recorded video. Plan is to take it from my iMac to wife's iPad but having trouble piecing together. Suggestions?

My iPad mini has just 'removed' all iTunes data - video and music! Help!

I had a number of films on the device and in the cloud, and also music. Today I have nothing. Any thoughts please anyone?

What activities where you doing on the iPad between the time you had these "films and music" on your device and when you noticed they were gone?

Exporting FCP to MPEG 2 with video & audio tracks COMBINED?

I want to post a film on Google Video. I'm told they like MPEG2 files, but with the audio and video combined.
How can I create an MPEG2 with the video and audio combined?
I've also been told I can change the .m2v extension to .mpg after I've encoded, without causing problems. Their 'uploader application' doesn't like the .m2v extension.
Thanks,

Are you uploading a video to http://video.google.com/ ? You do NOT need MPEG-2 to upload videos there. Have a look at Uploading Videos at the Google Video Support page.
Compressor can only make MPEG-2 Transport Streams, not Program Streams. With a little help of a great application called MPEG Streamclip , you can easily make MPEG-2 Program Streams.
Encode your video and audio using Compressor. For audio, choose AIFF, and make sure it gets the same name as the .m2v, but of course with the right .aif suffix.
Open the .m2v file in MPEG Streamclip (the audio should automaticly load with the video file if they have the same file name). Choose the file menu and choose Covnvert To MPEG Using MP2 Audio.
Good luck!

Video + Picture slideshow DVD & Subtitle issues

Hello All,
I am making this family video and slideshow DVD to distribute among the family members. I know how to make video DVD out of shot footage but I am struggling hard to make such hybrid DVD where I can put video footage as well picture slideshow.
I checked out slideshow function in iDVD but it only allows pictures in one folder and I have multiple folders of pictures and I would like to be able to switch between these folders when I watch this slideshow on DVD player.
I tried to make iPhoto albums but there I couldn't make subfolders so I got stuck there and can't try importing from iPhoto5.
Anybody has idea how I can do this?
Also, I would like to add subtitles to movie as well as pictures. Any comment on subtitles is also welcome.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi n
Deep water !
I understand Your questions but can't figure out a way to do exactly as You
want it to be done. I would instead make my SlidShows as movies in iMovie
and combine them into one iDVD disk. This is fairly simle and the quality is
much a personal issue. It's OK for me.
When I've done my movies (as individual iMovie projects) I drop the project
icons into an open iDVD theme (just inside the edge of the theme window).
Then rename them in the theme window and adjust the titles location so that
it looks nice. If You want You can also add a folder for Your photos (to be
used by Your family in their computers).

Slideshow with Videos and Pictures

Hi!
I am trying to make a slideshow with photos and various short videos interspersed among the photos. I have a customized playlist for the slideshow so that there is music playing when the photos are being shown. My problem is that the music continues to play when the videos are playing which interferes with the audio in the video. Is there anyway to get the music to pause whenever there is a video playing?
Thanks!

Is there anyway to get the music to pause whenever there is a video playing?
Not in iPhoto, afaik. I Aperture it would be easy.
As a work-around you could use GarageBand to create a custom sound track that's fade in and out when your videos are shown, assuming you have the complete iLife package installed.
Export your Slideshow as movie.
To edit your sound track in GarageBand add the song files to the time line and arrange them,
Drag the slideshow movie to the Timeline, to see the positions of the videos and to help to get the timing right.
Delete the movie soundtrack.
Then show the master track (cmd-B) and enable the master volume.
Adjust the master volume curve to fade out the sound when you want silence.
Delete the movie track and share the sound track to iTunes.
Then add this track to the slideshow.

Fixed Layout ePub - please help me embed video and/or use Folio overlay with web content

Hi
I have an In Design file used to create a print book (11"x11") and have decided to use CC 2014 to create a fixed-layout ePub 3 for a digital version. I converted the book over with minor issues of having to change the font and it looks beautiful.
I would like to add videos at the end of the book to take advantage of the flexibility of the digital format. I create a year-end slideshow of my photos and host them on Vimeo.
I have tried the following:
Using the Vimeo standard embed code in an HTML element
Using the old flash Vimeo embed code and converting to HTML - worked great on iBooks on Mac but not on iPhone/iPad as flash-based
Hosting and linking to videos on my own web server and using the Media - insert video link to the mp4 file
Hosting and linking to videos on my old photo server at smugmug.com
I can embed the actual videos but, at their smallest size they increase the file size of the ePub from 78MB to 400MB...
I then thought I would use a Folio Overlay - Web Content.
The idea is to use this blank page on my website which would look for all intents and purposes like another white page in the book - 2012 Slideshow - Oren Photography
The overlay works in Folio Preview but not when exported as an ePub
Is this a limitation of the ePub format?
Any help/advice/suggestions on fixing this are greatly appreciated.
E

Thanks again Steve and Bill
My interest in embedding videos was largely to minimize the final file size and amount of space used on each person's device. I ended up following your advice about using Adobe Media Encoder to minimize the size of each slideshow but it still increased the final ePub from 65 MB to over 200 MB. And that was with video quality that was far inferior from what I could offer through an embed or, my final solution, a link out to my website.
I happen to be of the same thought as Bill that most people are now connected to the internet and would favor a smaller file with access to online content over a very large file. I would have liked to embed the videos and allow 720p quality inside the ePub over the link I ended up settling for.
