Video thumbnail / hero image from Squeeze?

I'm creating a series of flash videos from FCP projects. I'd like to have a "hero" still image from the sequence be shown in the flash player (like YouTube) so the people know what the clip is about before they play it. Right now, I compress the flash clips (or any format, really) and just have a black screen to start with. I realize this is probably because the sequence starts with a black screen, but is there a way to change the image?
Thanks!

I understand, but I'm quite sure there are people outputting FCP projects into Flash 8 clips all the time. This question applies to any output format, really... QuickTime, WMV, H.264, MPEG, etc.
Thanks!

Multiple hero images from one thumb?

Hello all, I have been trying to figure this out for a while and it's driving me crazy (In Muse). Normally when I click on a thumb in a slideshow it shows just one hero image of the thumb (which makes sense). But I really want to have it so that if you click on a thumb then you are able to click through a number of hero images from the same thumb. For example, I have a pic of a car as the hero image, I then want to be able to click on the hero image and click through a number of images showing the cars interior. Is this possible? If not are there work-arounds?
thank you so much

This is, why I like Muse so much: A well sorted set of features, which fully unfolds, when you combine them. This produces much more creativity then drowning the users in countless switches, buttons and dialog boxes for a contextless flood of incoherent features.

Hi,
I did a test with your code in my environment and it works fine.
For a better troubleshooting, I suggest you debug your code step by step. You may need to check if file.ListItemAllFields.ID is valid.
If you want to get video Thumnail image, there is a column named Preview Image URL, the internal name of the field is AlternateThumbnailUrl.
You can get the field value using Sever Object Model like below.
String url = item[“AlternateThumbnailUrl”].ToString();
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

How do I link to a specific Hero Image in from another page?

How do I link to a specific Hero Image from another page?

Hi Laura,
I am afraid that this is not possible in Muse at this stage, I will recommend that you post this on our ideas section over here, https://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas, and let our devs team know of this requirement.
As a work around I will suggest that you create a dedicated page with this panel opened when you publish and link that page with the text that you want. Let me know if you need more clarification on this.

PSE9 and importing images from Bridge

I have been using PSE8, and Bridge on my Mac for importing photos to the computer. I uninstalled it before upgrading to PSE9 and find Bridge no longer is used, and it seems the Organiser is the way to go. How do I import all the images (several hundred) that were stored in folders on Bridge to PSE9's Organiser? Will the folders come across intact, or will I have to sort and grade them all again? Should I reinstall PSE8 just to use Bridge? Any advice appreciated. Thanks. Susan199

Nothing is stored in Bridge. Bridge is just a file browser: it shows you the current state of any folder you point it at.
If you want to Organize your photos, just use File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders and have it import the images in your current folders. Bridge keywords are metadata keywords recognized by many programs including organizer (however, organizer keywords, like those in iphoto, are proprietary to organizer and will not automatically be picked up by other programs, unless you write them into the files).
If you want to use Bridge with PSE 9, that's also possible, with the caveat that you can't update the bridge raw converter anymore, so you won't see thumbnails for images from newer cameras. Directions on using an existing version of bridge with PSE 9 are here:
http://barbarabrundage.com/2011/01/13/using-bridge-with-photoshop-elements-9/
Organizer has a folder view which will recognize your existing folders, but if you decide to make Organizer your photo manager of choice, it's best to stop thinking in terms of folders. Use tags instead and stop thinking using folders for organization.

How do I set the default Hero image in a Muse slideshow widget when using Free Form Thumbnails?

Hello,
I am trying to find out how to set the default Hero image when using a Muse slideshow widget and in the Layout section I have the "Free Form Thumbnails"
box checked.
In other words, when the page loads I want to define which image displays as the first Hero image.
If I do not select the "Free Form Thumbnails" option, the top left Thumbnail image always displays first. This is fine.
But when I select the Free Form Thumbnails" checkbox I don't know how to define which image shows first as the Hero image.
I have a short video at this link where I illustrate the question:
http://amson.org/misc/default-hero-image-1.mp4
I have added a WMV video file at the link below:
http://amson.org/misc/default-hero-image-1.wmv
Okay… I think I've worked out how to do it!
[1] First have the "Free Form Thumbnails" box UNCHECKED.
[2] Organize the Thumbnails and place the image that you want to be the first Hero image when the page loads in the top left corner of the Thumbnails group.
[3] When you "Preview Site In Browser" the Thumbnail image in the top left corner will always display as the first Hero image.
[4] If you want "Free Form Thumbnails" go ahead now and SELECT that checkbox.
[5] Whichever image was in the top left of the Thumbnail group before you checked "Free Form Thumbnails" will still show up as the first Hero image when the page loads, regardless of where that thumbnail image is located within the Thumbnail images group.
Thanks very much.
Chris.

Hi,
The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
Hope it clarifies the things.
Regards,
Ved

Image from video

hi ,
when i upload a video file i want to store the thumbnail for the first frame of the video. what steps should i follow inorder to achieve this?
thanks

To create a still image (freeze frame) from video footage to use within FCE, place the Timeline or Viewer playhead at the frame you want and hit Shift n.
To export a still frame from video footage to use in another program, place the Timeline or Viewer playhead on the frame you want, then go to File->Export->Using QuickTime Conversion. In the export window, choose still image from the format menu and choose the file type you want (TIFF, PNG, PSD, etc) from the Options menu.

RAW images from D300 appear as thumbnails in Bridge

I have CS3 and ACR 4.5 and Windows XP, for the past month all RAW files from D300 have loaded perfectly and opened fine. Yesterday, I loaded files and they appear only as thumbnails in Bridge. I am not able to rotate, or apply any adjustments to these thumbnails. If I double-click them, they open as RAW files in ACR, and I can proceed and work on them as I normally would.
Another strange thing: all of the other files I have loaded from my D300 now react the same way, even though they were perfectly fine before. Images from D2x are fine.
Should I try to uninstall/reinstall Bridge? Any other suggestions? There have been similar threads here, but not this specifically.
thanks
alan

I just experienced the same phenomenon. It actually started in the middle of a session working in the Bridge. Other then the thumbnail appearing there were a couple of other strange symptoms I noticed when this happened to me.
1. If first happened to some files, then got worse as I went back and forth between folders. However, it never effected all the raw files. Some stayed as normal.
2. It effected .ORF files and .DNG files equally.
3. For both files effected and those not effected it created a corresponding .XMP file in the folders
4. If used the DNG converter to convert the ORF files to DNG the resulting DNG files appeared as normal thumbnails.
In any event the reset suggested by Curt did work, and restored everything back to normal.

How to acquire image from S-video camera

Hi,
I have a camera with S-video interface. I use a S-video to USB adaptor to acquire the images from my camera. Popular video editor/maker softwares, for example Windows Movie Maker, ULead VideoStudio, etc.. are able to display the video capture from my camera (using the same S-video to USB adaptor). Thus, I think the adaptor transferred the camera to an USB Directshow camera already? However I cannot grab images/video using Labview. I have installed IMAQdx, and I can use the same LabView VI to grab images/video from my USB camera.
Is there any suggestion for my case?
Thanks.

Make sure you are using the right color channel, in most cases YYUV will not display. Use RGB. Also try changing the resolution settings.

Generating full-size image from thumbnail using BLOB DB images

Hi all,
Assuming that all necessary steps were taken in other posts and tutorials to display images on a web page from BLOB objects stored in an Oracle 10g DB, how is it possible to set the size of the created images (from the servlet that creates the image file from BLOB) so that it is smaller than the actual image in the DB. the user would then have to click the image to open the full image.
would this be done by possibly creating 2 servlets, one that displays a smaller version, and one that displays the actual image?
i don't see how this can be done since the url property of each image is bound to the url of the servlet. If the thumbnail has a url pointing to image produced by thumbnail servlet, would i assign an action handler for clicking the image that redirects to a url given by the full size image servlet? or should i use an image hyperlink instead?
any help is always appreciated!

Suggest you take this one step at a time.
1. Create a database and store your images in it. (Or write the upload mechanism if you need it).
2. Display your full size images.
3. Display your full size images as thumbnail size. (Performance will not be good but you'll have results.) Creator allows you to set image size independantly of the size of the underlying image.
4. Modify the servlet you wrote in step three to optionally reduce the resolution (or quality) based on an input parameter.

Video Thumbnail images gone - iPad 1st gen, iOS5

After updgrading my iPad 1st gen to iOS5, all of my video thumbnail images are gone.
The iPad just displays a white box with a gray flat screen TV icon for every video file listed under Movies or TV Shows
This is most troublesome when I touch the TV Shows button and I get a page full of those white boxes with the TV icon - and, as has always been the case, there is no name for the TV show. So I'm lost in the white boxes trying to find LOST the TV show.
Any thoughts on how I get my thumbnails back?

If they are in your iTunes library on your computer why don't you try syncing again. Make sure that all of the shows are selected to sync along with the sync Movies heading and then sync again.
If they are only on the iPad it might be a good idea to transfer the purchases into the iTunes library. Connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes and right click on the device name and select Transfer Purchases.
If you have tried syncing, try restarting, resetting and quitting the videos app.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
To quit the videos app - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Need some help trying to generate thumbnail images from large Jpegs

Hello,
I have some ActionScript 3.0 code, created with Flex that
will load a large JPEG image (say 3000x2000 pixels) that I'm trying
to create a 100 pixel thumbnail. I have the code working where I
generate the thumbnail, but it's not maintaining the aspect ratio
of the original image. It's making it square, filling in white for
the part that doesn't fit.
I've tried just setting the height or width of the new
image, but that doesnt render well, either.
To see what I'm talking about, I made a screen shot, showing
the before image, and the rendered as thumbnail image:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/taude/533544558/.
Now, there's a few things important to note. I'm saving the
thumbnail off as a JPEG. As you can see in my sample application,
the original renders fine with the proper aspect ratio, it's when
I'm copying the bytes off the bitmapdata object, where I need to
specify a width and height, that the trouble starts. I've also
tried using .contentHeight and .contentWidth and some division to
manually specify a new bitmapdatasize, but these values seem to
always have NaN.
private function makeThumbnail():void{
// create a thumbnail of 100x100 pixels of a large file
// What I want to create is a a thumbnail with the longest
size of the aspect
// ratio to be 100 pixels.
var img:Image = new Image();
//Add this event listener because we cant copy the
BitmapData from an
/// image until it is loaded.
img.addEventListener(FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE,
imageLoaded);
img.width=100;
img.height=100;
img.scaleContent=true;
img.visible = true;
// This is the image we want to make a thumbnail of.
img.load("file:///C:/T5.jpg");
img.id = "testImage";
this.addChildAt(img, 0);
private function imageLoaded(event:Event):void
// Grab the bitmap image from the Input Image and
var bmd:BitmapData =
getBitmapDataFromUIComponent(UIComponent(event.target));
//Render the new thumbnail in the UI to see what it looks
theImage.source = new Bitmap(bmd); //new Bitmap(bmd);
public static function
getBitmapDataFromUIComponent(component:UIComponent):BitmapData
var bmd:BitmapData = new
BitmapData(component.width,component.height );
bmd.draw(component);
return bmd;

Dev is 10gR2 and Prod is earlier version of Oracle, 10gR1.
The schema (or table(s)) export file created by Oracle Database Control in Oracle 10gR2 is not importable into 10gR1, by default.
Workaround.
Use the Schema (table(s) export wizard of in the Maintenance section
of the Oracle Database Control in ver 10R2,
but when you get to the end of the wizard (I recall Step 5),
show the data pump export source PL/SQL code, cut and past to editor,
and find the variable where you can set the Oracle database version
to your prod database version,
then run the script from the SQL Plus prompt in 10gR2 dev,
and this creates an Oracle 10gR1 compatible data export file.
Then go to Prod and run the schema (table(s)) import data wizard,
and import the export file. You will have to option to move the data
to another schema or tablespace if required.
Just to not run into troubles, I use the same schema and tablespace name
in both dev and prod.
the variable you must modify in the 10gR2 datapump export script looks like
h1 := dbms_datapump.open (operation => 'EXPORT', job_mode => 'SCHEMA', job_name => 'ExportTableToProdJob', version => 'COMPATIBLE');
and you must change manually to
h1 := dbms_datapump.open (operation => 'EXPORT', job_mode => 'SCHEMA', job_name => 'ExportTableToProdJob', version => '10.1.0.1');
This creates a 10g1.0.1 or later compatible export data file.
You must have read/write privileges to the folder were the export data file will be created, and imported from. (Oracle Directory Object)
