Video standards and adding pre-loader/buffer

Hi,
I have a a smallish Captivate course (25 slides) where each slide has audio (3-5 sec.) and the presentation as a whole has 4 FLVs inserted as Insert --> Slide Video. The Videos are all 640 x 360, flv, 2-3 minutes with the following sizes: 10M, 16M, 22M, 33M.
We're using Captivate 5 and Camtasia for the video editing.
My questions:
Are these unreasonable video sizes?
How can I add in preloader or buffer? They play great in the US but are jittery in the EU, even after hosting on European server, so I'm trying everythign I can to compress and make it more manageable and a less interrupted viewing experience.
Thank you!

Hi, They might not be unreasonable but they might create issues sometimes. But you can add a preloader by following the steps given below -
1) Cp 5 - Edit - preferences
2) Project - Start and End
3) Check on the preloader check box and browse through the one that you want to use
4) Bring down the % to about 20 or 30 so that when this much part has been loaded..the presentation starts playing

Youtube loading bar is not responding and the videos stop and start re-loading again and it doesn't move again.

When I start loading a video, it either load the entire bar and freezes or it freezes while in the middle. When it tries to load again it just won't start and I have to refresh but it still freezes up. Also when I try to pause the vide it doesn't respond as well.

Save and later pre-load a whiteboard

Folks-
Is it possible to save a whiteboard and later load it back in for continued work? If it is, what are the major steps?
Thanks much-
Matt
PS-I did search this forum, and the three threads that seemed to ask the same question were unanswered.

Yup, either approach can work - for saving it on the service, just make sure sessionDependentItems is true for all nodes of the whiteboard (in the room console). If you want to save the whiteboard "offline", then you can iterate through the SharedWhiteBoard.model and save them in whatever way makes sense :

Adobe Premiere Basics Creating Video Publishing and Adding advertisments within the video.

Hi I am new to Adobe Premiere and have some basic questions I have a video that I would like to mix sound into and also add a flash advertisment in but am having problems previewing the movie in perfect quality. For example, when I drag my imported video in, the movie gets much smaller when I preview it. Even after I get some of the sequences finished and I export it, the video looks small.
I think this is something in the publishing or importing features that I don't know of, basically how do I work on my video and create parts to it while keeping the quality of the video 100%
My second question is, I have created a simple fade in fade out advertisment that I would like to go in the bottom right part of the video, how do i position it exactly there?
thanks pros!

Extracted audio after putting in video transitions and lost audio on trans

Hi,
I edited video clips and added transitions, then extracted the audio- now there is no audio during the transitions, and no way to fade in the audio with the transition- there is just a blank space in the audio track under the transition- no waveform at all until the clip begins after the transition.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!!!

Hi
The idea is to do it the other way around.
• first extract audio
• then insert transition
• then fix the audio "transition"
If You turn on "Rubber band" Shift-Cmd-L (Content menu and down to Show Volume level)
On the original video clip this line is now on bottom - drag it up to 100%
Most possibly it's so on the extracted audio clips too.
Else
restore the video clips and re-do in the right order.

Problem with pre-loader and video playback

Hi!
I've got a real problem - I managed to put together a
pre-loader OK but it doesn't load the entire movie.
Instead it loads a little bit and tries to stream, but it
stutters of course because the server can't cope.
So what I want to do is:
- make my preloader wait for my video file (.swf) to load
(about 6Mb)
- play my video file (.swf)
How do I do this?
You can check out what I'm attempting to do at
Scottish Car Club
Also, if I go to www.scottishcarclub.com , the video loads
up. But if I hit refresh, it turns the video from 320x260 into a
40x40 - sized box. Why!?!?!?
Thanks for the help

Have a new Dell Latitude with Adobe X Standard pre-loaded. Purchased upgrade to Adobe XI Pro today

Have new Dell Latitude laptop with Adobe X Standard pre-loaded. Purchased upgrade to Adobe XI Pro today and have Serial #. Installed the upgrade successfully, but it is asking for the Serial # of the previous version... I don't have that Serial# and in the process of the upgrade it unistalled the old version so don't really have a place to look back to. What next?

Hi Dan,
From where did you order the older Acrobat X Standard?
If it was a boxed product then the serial number must be behind the case, else if it was downloaded, login to your Adobe account and check the same.
Else contact Customer care or Chat with a tech support and they would be able to help you.

PE-11: when adding music to a program the video splits and if it is dragged back together the music splits.
How can I get around this problem?

Glenda,
As a test, try dragging, while holding the Ctrl/Cmd modifier key, that "music" to Audio Track 2, and the "bird sounds" SFX file to Audio Track Audio Track 3. There have reports from other users, where the Fixed Audio Tracks, Narration and Soundtrack have caused problems. Those problems seem to be Project-specific. If your Timeline does not have Audio Tracks 1 - 3 already, you can use Add Tracks. The use of the Ctrl/Cmd key, changes how PrE handles existing files on the Timeline, when adding Assets. This usually comes into play, when one is adding Video, or Stills, and should not really affect those, when only adding Audio, but remember, this is only a test.
Good luck,

CP5 pre-loader questions re: video

Forgive the long post..
I published a Cap 5 project in which the first 4 slides contain short videos. The pre-loader is set to 70%. When playing the course from a server or LMS the initial load ranges from 1 minute to 5 minutes depending on location and computer. After the initial load reaches 70% the first video shows its own loading screen for a few additional seconds and begins to play. Subsequent videos will also show a brief loader before they play. The video and project sizes are as follows:
- Course SWF is 12.5mb
Slide one video is 827kb
Slide two video is 1.2mb
Slide three video is 1.9mb
Slide four video is 950kb
- All videos are encoded F4V
- Project is published from CP5 on a Mac
- Latest Flash player is being used for all user machines
The Problems:
- On high performance machines with fast internet connections, the content loads and plays as expected, however on slightly older machines, or slow connections the playback is jerky and unpredictable
- Playback performance from a web server is generally better than from the SumTotal LMS regardless of the machine capabilities
- On several occasions the audio for the next slide plays simultaneous with the video from the current slide. Also bullets that are synched with the slide and video will fall out of synch. After reloading or using the nav bar to back up, the slide generally plays as expected.
My questions for the community:
1 - Will the pre-loader load F4V videos before playback? Can someone explain what the pre-loader will load what it will not?
2 - If the preloader does not load video, is there a downside to setting the preloader to a minimum number (say 10%) to at least reduce the initial load cycle?
3 - How do I ensure that audio from the next slide will not play on the current slide or video synchronized with timeline elements do not fall out of synch?
Thanks
Jeff

Hi there,
Please find the answers for your questions.
1 - Will the pre-loader load F4V videos before playback? Can someone explain what the pre-loader will load what it will not?
<ashwin> No, preloader only loads the main Movie. Once the slide with video is encountered the Video load is initiated and this loads the video. FLV video and Animations (if they are externalised) are not loaded while preloading the movie.
</ashwin>
2 - If the preloader does not load video, is there a downside to setting the preloader to a minimum number (say 10%) to at least reduce the initial load cycle?
<ashwin> Yes you can do this but i am not sure if this reduces the project loading time. I will try to explain you the way preloader works. A 10% preloader percentage indicates to load 10% of the SWF size, For instance if the SWF size is 12 MB then the project starts to play once 1.2 MB of the project is loaded. So if the project has rich content in the first few slides then loading may take time as it has it has to load the first slide fully to show the first slide. So it all depends on how the project is created and how the content is distributed in the project.
</ashwin>
3 - How do I ensure that audio from the next slide will not play on the current slide or video synchronized with timeline elements do not fall out of synch?
<ashwin>Do you have the audio from first slide to n slides continuously, if thats the case then in the published output a single audio file will be created with the published SWF and is stored in the SWF (In this case we say audio is sitched). So if a preloader is set to 10%, even though only 10% of the movie will be preloaded the entire audio should be loaded which might create sync issues as the movie will have started to play while the audio is being loaded.
To overcome this you may choose to increase the slide time of the slides containing audio by around 0.1 second. This activity will split the audio in the published output and hence will have small audio fragments to load while the movie is loading.If around 20 slides have audio continuously then you can increase the slide time for around 6-7 slides and not all.
</ashwin>
Try them and let me know if this information helped.

Pre-loading videos on iPod touches?

Hi,
I would like to pre-load some videos on some iPod touches and give them to some friends.
Will those videos get erased once those people connect the iPod touches up to their computer and synchronize them with their iTunes library? Or will it give them the option to save the pre-loaded videos?
Thanks

Good idea,
I will pre-load the videos so they can view them right away. In addition, I will give them the videos on a CD so they will have the option of re-importing them after synchronizing the iPod touch with their computers.
Thank you

Lag after pre-loader hits 60% and before movie starts playing.

Hi all,
I’m hoping somebody can shed some light on an issue
that I’m experiencing with a Captivate project I’m
working on. I’ll try to explain this in detail so you
understand the background and scope of this project. These are
being exported as HTML/SWF and being viewed within IE6.
I’ve been tasked with taking a new employee training
course that is currently handled by a live person standing in front
of a room of people and showing them an 18 minute VHS tape and also
covering information that is presented on a PowerPoint file, and
making it into a Captivate movie.
I was able to get the original digital video cut into 4
chunks and converted to SWF by media group that produced the tape.
The four SWF files are 320x240 and range from 13 to 22 megs.
Because of the size of the files and the amount of content, I
created 8 ‘modules’ that make up the larger project.
The last slide of the first module launches the 2nd module, etc.
until the user has seen all of the modules which on their side
(other than a brief pre-loader popping up at times) is mostly
transparent and they think they are just watching a 30 minute
training course.
Basically, what I’ve done is laid out the modules so
that the whole course alternates back and forth between text slides
with voice-overs and the movie clips. The movie clip SWF’s
have been embedded into every other module, so:
Module 1: Intro to the course (text & voice-overs)
Module 2: Video clip 1
Module 3: Discussion about stuff (text & voice-overs)
Module 4: Video clip 2
Module 5: Discussion about stuff (text & voice-overs)
Module 6: Video clip 3
Module 7: Discussion about stuff (text & voice-overs)
Module 8: Video clip 4 and wrap-up
Now here is the problem:
We have 20+ offices and I am located at the main office where
the web servers are located. If I run through this, everything
works great. I tested this in one of our off-site locations today
where they have a semi-fast connection, but still going across a
WAN.
Module 1 loads fine. Hits 60%, plays, user can click Next,
Next, Next to proceed through the training. At the end of Module 1,
we prompt them with some text to let them know there may be a brief
delay before they see the upcoming video clip. Click Next, loads
Module2.swf which has the videoclip1.swf embedded in it (21 megs).
Takes a little while to load which is expected. Hits 60%.
Preloader goes away and then just white screen for at least 10
seconds (sometimes 20-30 seconds, depending on the size of the
embedded movie clip) before the movie actually starts playing.
This is not acceptable as the user will think that something is
broken. If the movie is not completely loaded, then it
shouldn’t have hit 60% and the preloader graphic disappear,
right?
I think that the problem revolves around the movie clip not
being able to play until it is fully loaded, although the Module
has loaded the 60% that it needs to begin playing. The only way
around this that I see is re-arrange my slides so that the video
clip is not the first slide to play in any given module.
We tried this on at least 7 computers, all of which were just
rolled out new last fall, so the machines are definitely beefy
enough to handle this.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

40% less than 100%.
Nope, I am not being a wise guy, but I know it's possible to
have so much "weight" in the content of the last 40% that
additional delay might be required while a (early) required element
or object completes down-streaming. Just a thought...
Hi Larry,
Good to see you back on the forums and thanks for the reply.
What you posted further proves my point. From what I've been taught
about Captivate, it loads to 60% and begins to play while the
remaining 40% loads. Not loads to 60% and then some portion of the
remaining 40% may or may not have to load before it starts. If
that's the case, why not just load 100% before it starts and then
have no problems?
It shouldn't matter how large the file is, right? The only
difference is that larger files would take longer to reach the 60%
mark. 60% is 60% is 60%. Compare a feather to a car. 60% of the
weight of each item is still 60%, it doesn't matter how much it
weighs.
60% of a cubic foot of rock is the same percentage
as 60% of a cubic foot of marshmallows.
Anyway, I think the solution here is to fudge the problem by
putting a few 'less weighty' slides in front of the slide with the
embedded video so that the user has something to look at other than
a blank screen. I was just hoping somebody else might have
experience this and had a magic button I could press to make it all
better.
I could handle this if the preloader continued running so the
user had some clue that it was still working, but when the
preloader hits 60% and disappears and then nothing happens for
another 10-20 seconds, that's a problem.

I would be glad for the opportunity to customize a Premiere Elements 12 answer to your Premiere Elements 12 issue.
But, I want to make sure that we are together on the details. This is my understanding of what you have written. Please review and let me
know if I am misinterpreting anything that you have written.
You have a video created in Windows Movie Maker.
How did you output the video from Windows Movie Maker...wmv or mp4, what was the frame size and frame rate of that export?
Next you import that video into Premiere Elements 12 (can we assume that this is on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit?)
From what you wrote, you have applied a pan and zoom effect to your video in Premiere Elements.
Now you go to export the Premiere Elements 12 Timeline content with your video with the pan and zoom applied.
But, the pan and zoom effect is not seen in playback of the export.
Is all of the above correct so far?
If so....we are going to need some more details from you...
a. What is the project preset that you or the project are setting to match the properties of the video coming from Movie maker? See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Rate, and Pixel Aspect Ratio even if the fields look grayed out.
b. Are you applying the pan and zoom effect with the Pan and Zoom Tool, fx Effects Presets, or keyframing the Scale (for Zoom) and
Position (for Pan) in the Motion Panel expanded?
c. What are you selecting as your export in Publish+Share/. Please give details...are you using default settings or customizing the export
setting under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of the preset selected?
I am suspecting some sort of mismatch of your project settings or some problems with working with the Pan and Zoom tool. I need
your answers to help me help you. If I have written anything that you do not understand, please let me know. I will re-write if necessary
so that we are in sync to resolve the issue.
Thanks.

Kindly tell me what it is and how I can resolve this issue.

Hello
The probleme is that you have to include in your rule the transactions rule, to allow the acount where you whant to load icp transaction.
If you are working with YTD that you should use a diferent acount to load the icp transaction and then make the ajustment.
Becuse the program would not allow to load data and if you have already data it will give you an error, if you load your rule with the integrity box check
