Video is cropping in swf

Hi,
The Camera video is played well in other applications, but when I am using Camera in flash applications to play the live video, then video is cropped.
Thanks
Ram

Hi,
How are you playing the video in swf ? Are you using video object , flv playback or any other component?
Thanks,
Manish.

Embedded swf video is cropped off

I'm embedding a video from smugmug. When I post it on another site (not iWeb generated) it posts okay. But with iWeb the video is cropped off on the right. I was told that the "holding area" width needs to be changed, but I don't know how to do that. I'm assuming that is referring to the Web Widget dimensions, but it gets sized according to the size of the embedded video. Here is the source code:
<object width="425" height="318"><param name="movie" value="http://www.smugmug.com/ria/ShizVidz-2008050901.swf" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="flashVars" value="s=ZT0xJmk9MzI5MzIwNzM1Jms9dWltcXomYT00MDA2MjQwXzhoSnlOJnU9dXBkZWZvcnVt" /><embed src="http://www.smugmug.com/ria/ShizVidz-2008050901.swf" flashVars="s=ZT0xJmk9MzI5MzIwNzM1Jms9dWltcXomYT00MDA2MjQwXzhoSnlOJnU9dXBkZWZvcn Vt" width="425" height="318" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always"></embed></object>
Can anyone help me? Thanks.

According to the source of the page the width is 350 and the height is 400.
<div class="com-apple-iweb-widget-HTMLRegion" id="widget1" style="height: 400px; left: 175px; position: absolute; top: 14px; width: 350px; z-index: 1; ">
<iframe id="widget1-frame" src=".//Homefiles/widget1markup.html" frameborder="0" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
</div>
I suggest you delete the widget and add a new one. Paste the code of your flash movie and click Done.
iWeb will create a box the size of the movie.

No FLV video in a linked SWF?

I’ve got an FLV video linked to an external SWF (a substage) that is itself linked to another SWF (the main stage) The FLV plays fine if I publish and run the substage independently but when the substage is loaded into the main stage at runtime I lose the video, all the other screen elements from the substage work fine. I thought it might be a path issue so I hardcoded a fully qualified URL as the video source with the same results; works independently, fails when loaded into the main stage at run time. Anyone know what’s going on? Thanks.
Flash CS5/AS3 using the video player component.

The FLV is linked to tutorial.swf via the standard video playback component. The video and tutorial swf are in the same directory, optimally the video should be linked with a relative path but a fully qualified URL is an option.
Tutorial.swf is loaded at runtime into the main swf using a standard loader class script. The main swf is in the parent directory of the tutorial & video directory (ie: it’s up one level).
Tutorial.swf loads properly into the main swf and plays audio & animations, the only thing it doesn’t show is the video, no error is thrown.
I’ve just discovered that I haven’t really tested the fully qualified URL option, my server didn’t have flv set as a valid mime type. If that works I’ll take it and move on, but I’d much rather a simple relative link.
flv -(video playback component)-> tutorial.swf -(loader class script)-> main.swf

I took all my video with my iPhone turned the wrong way. When I view it on my pc it's turned on its side. How can I rotate the video and crop it?

Try plugging it into a computer with iTunes opened. If you see anything that says restore, say no.
Sometimes these issues resolve themselves when you connect the device to iTunes.
What happens when you hold the home and sleep/wake button? I know it doesn't work, but does it shut off at all?

Problem getting video to run in SWF

I have a student who is using Flash CS4 Pro. She has imported an flv, chosen a skin and placed the video on the stage. If you test by Ctrl+Enter the swf is created and plays quite happily. However, if you go to the folder where the swf is pubished and load the swf it either opens a blank window where neither video or skin appear or a window opens with the flash player logo flashing on/off. We've tried what we can think of like reassigning the paths in the component inspector be doesn't work. The fla, swf and skin are all in the same root directory.
My first thought was that there may have been some change on our network that was interfering but the same student has another swf she made several weeks ago using the same method which has 4 videos in the same swf and it still works fine. This suggests the methodology and the network are valid.
Not sure what to do. This is the last part of the student's A level coursework due in next Friday so any suggestions really welcome.

Sounds to me like a pathing problem.
Depending on how the folder structure is set up, going directly to the .swf and clicking on it in it's folder... and the video not playing... does not necessarily mean that the pathing is wrong or the .swf is broke. In fact, if the .swf video player is to be used on a Web page outside of the folder that the .swf is stored in, the .swf should NOT work when directly clicked on. That's because the pathing from the .swf to Flash assets such as the video file... pathing needs to be relative to the Web page the .swf will be used on and NOT the physical location of the .swf.
For your review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

1280x720 video being cropped down to 1248x702 for no reason

I've been using Compressor to batch export a large number of long lecture videos. My settings are:
Format: QT
Width: 1280
Height: 720
Pixel aspect ratio: Square
Crop: None
Padding: None
Frame rate: 29.97
Frame Controls: Automatically selected: Off
Codec Type: H.264
Multi-pass: On, frame reorder: On
Pixel depth: 24
Spatial quality: 75
Min. Spatial quality: 25
Key frame interval: 90
Temporal quality: 50
Min. temporal quality: 25
Fast Start: on
The first 15 times or so, it worked wonderfully, but the past 3 or 4 times I've tried it, the right and bottom sides of the video are cropped down to 1248x702. I tried trashing all the compressor preference files per
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1888
Reinstalling Compressor requires getting my office's IT department involved, which I'm not going to do. When I export a single video straight out of Final Cut Pro with the same settings, it works fine. I'm running all the latest versions of everything.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? Final Cut can't handle the large batch exports I need to do, so I need to get Compressor working again.

It's probably this:

Can I zoom the flv video playing in my swf?

Can I zoom the flv video playing in my swf?
Hi,
I have a FLV video that is linked from my SWF file (It plays inside a flvplayback component in my movie). I'd like the flv to zoom (as it's playing) when the User mouses over it. Is that possible? I've been able to 'Create a Motion Tween' on it so that it plays in editing mode but when I preview it, the flv just stays the same size.
I've been doing this zooming with symbols/shapes (using the 2d-zoom motion preset) but I'm wondering how I would do this on a flv. I need the video to be playing as the transform changes so I can't just zoom an image that looks like the video and then swap it for the real video when it gets actual size.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks Kglad.
I found a good step by step explanation of this process by Somascope (you need to make a movie clip out of the flv playback component to actually tween it):

IPhone/iTouch video stabilisation crop.

I'm aware the current advertised recording resolution for the newer iPhones and iPod touch 5G is 1080p (1920x1080).
I'm also aware that for digital video stabilisation to be achieved, the video is cropped to allow for motion adjustments.
I want to know, exactly HOW much is the video cropped? E.g. percentages, or resolution comparisons.
Thanks.

I would suggest that you look at this software. Its called Handbrake and has been out for sometime. I have used it many times to convert my own dvds. THe software is reliable. You can use the presets or you can customize the aspect ratio for the video.

Whats nice is its compatible for Mac or windows. Just read the info on their site.

Motion videos from captivate to .swf create visual noise - added lines

There are a lot of added lines, field box outlines, etc. added to all my video portions on the .swf output.
It's almost as if they are from a previous frame and just don't go away. They're a little like a 'trail' mark from a previous frame in the video.
Is there any setting I can change to get this to stop or how can I clean these up?

Yes! That did it - file size doesn't matter for me so this works. Thank You

Video-animated elements wirhin SWF file

Hi there...
I have seen some SWF banners which contain not only
flash-made animations but also "inserted" videos elements: like
this website for example: some times ther used to appear a person
saying "welcome, yes, I am going to show you this new Macromedia
product..." or "we are the Macromedia team" or whatever...
Wel I need to create some animation like that because my
customer asked me for a "virtual host person" explaining some
things... Well I already have the video of him... but now.. what ??
How do I crop the person ? how do I insert him inside my
predseigned Flash banner ?
Thanks a lot in advance,

Is the person on a green screen, and have you already made
that transparent with After Effects or other software? Then you
have to import your video into Flash 8 and have it converted to
FLV. It may need to be embedded but you could lose audio sync, or
you have to progressively stream it and use cue points to trigger
events.
All of this greek to you? If so you better visit
www.gotoandlearn.com and watch the tutorials on video
basics.

Video playback in embedded swf

Hi,
I'm building a website in flash catalyst that uses an embedded swf also created in catalyst. The site is for a musician, and one of the pages (states) loads a swf file that contains a list of videos the user can select and play. That swf was also made in catalyst. This works.
When I navigate away from the video page to the Bio page (for instance), the video stops playing, which is good. The problem though, is when I return to the video page, the video resumes right where it was when I left the page. This is a bit jarring... I'd really like the video to stop playing for real when the user navigates away, so that when he/she returns to the page, its in the default state... With nothing playing.
Can anyone help? I'm stuck here.
Thanks!
Craig

you need to make your own controls and you need to learn some
basic actionscript: controlling playhead movement along a timeline
is about as basic as it gets. check the movieclip gotoAndPlay(),
gotoAndStop() methods.

Embedding video in an embeded SWF

Hello people. I'm building a site with a flip book component.
The book is a movie and then I load the pages via an XML file. The
pages are SWF files. You can see the book at
http://www.thiez.com/evf/main.htm
Now, If I add a video on a particular page by embedding it in
the flash movie, I will be able to see it when I test that
particular page, but it wont show when I test the whole book. So
basically, my problem is: the video shows ok in the file where it
is embedded but not in the main SWF file that calls the SWF file
containing the video. Any idea will be appreciated.

there sure are a lot of angry peeps on this forum lately.
Hard to tell exactly what you are doing -
allow me to quote you:
"I am importing Mpeg2 into an embeded video in SWF and play
timeline"
not exactly sure what that means - are you importing an mpeg
into flash to the timeline?
you cant import into an embeded video - that sounds like you
already have a video file in your FLA
and are trying to import another video "into" it - cant be
true and must be a typo.
Make it easier for us to help you by explaining in detail
what you are doing.
Also - this is a volunteer based peer to peer forum - it is
not official adobe support - you need to
contact them directly if the issue can not be solved here.

FLV video ends opens new swf

I imported a FLV (progressive download) into flash.
At the end of the video I need a new swf to open.
I've been searching for the action script to do this with no
luck.
If someone could point me in the right direction I'd really
appreciate it.
Thanks,

If you imported as a progressive download, you probably used
some skin for the FLVPlayback component. Give this component an
instance name (cpVideo) in this example and use an event listener
to tell you when the video is finished.

How do you change a video file to an swf.?

I need an swf for an assignment. please help!

You'll want to look into video converter applications, Flash Player itself will not be able to help.

Create or crop an .swf at runtime?

hello,
if i have a .swf with some graphics created on it (dynamic
shapes, text...) and it's dimensions are, say 300x300,
would it be possible to have an event which would "crop" it
to say 100x100 based on coordinates entered?
furthermore, would it be possible to then send the newly
cropped .swf to another page, or to an email?
thank you

All versions do not support the same coding. C/S and Web version can be very different, if you use client side features.
I also have to add that only Web version can integrate Java Beans and/or PJCs.
With old C/S version, you cannot create anything at runtime. You have to create the non visible items at design time, then show and move them at runtime;
With Web version, you can have Java Beans able to create real components at runtime.
