Viewing a Captivate movie in streaming
Hi -
Would appreciate receiving help in how to publish my Captivate movie so that viewers can view it while it's streaming and not downloaded before viewing begins.
Thanks in advance,
DGR2
Hello again
I may be mistaken here, but I think what you are looking for is a preload. So to set this (assuming you are using Captivate 5) click Edit > Preferences > Project > Start and End. There you should find the ability to configure a Preloader.

Stop during viewing of HD-movie in stream mode
Ladies and gentlemen,
I had problems with Apple TV
Chart of my connecting:
*Apple TV <–> AirPort Extreme (802.11n ( n-only )) <–> iMac 24 (C2D) <–> external HDD WD MyBook 750 gb (FW800)* .
I convert a HD-movie from the .mkv ( +KLCP Matroska File , Video: MPEG4, (H264) 1280x544, 23.98fps, Audio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz stereo, filesize 4,5 gb+ )
I convert a movie in Visualhub. In the parameters of this program specify that a format on an output must correspond the format of Apple TV. I get a Mp4-file
I plug Apple TV in the ”Streaming” mode, аnd begin to look a movie. Some time all shows fine, but in 10-15 minutes play is stopped (a picture is frozen, sound is stopped), after press pause/play, I can again continue viewing, but after a while problem will repeat again.
I noticed that precipices were halted 50% film, and stops take a place only at the active stages of film (moving car, explosions, or any other quickly-moving objects)
I will be beholden for elucidations of my question.
With kind regards
Message was edited by: megadzillaActually that isn't what I suggested.
I suggested you convert from matroska to DV and then from from DV to .m4v
If there is an error in your conversion from matroska to h364 with visualhub that error won't disappear by reconverting it.
If you don't wish to try what I suggested, open one of the files you are having trouble with in QT, open the inspector window and tell us what it says, I suspect it will seem OK but we can have a look and see.
Of course your problem could be a slow network, but if you don't wish to diagnose your problem it likely won't get solved. -
Animated gif within Captivate movie?
I'm trying to insert an animated gif into a Captivate movie,
but when I do, the gif doesn't animate -- it just shows the first
frame. Is there a trick to getting these animated gifs to actually
play within the Captivate movie, without having to do a "rough
recreate" of the gif in Flash? I've looked around for a setting
within the app to address this, but couldn't find it, and according
to my search of the archives no one else has asked this question.
Thanks in advance!
MaureenHi all
In addition to fellow ACE Steve's good advice, note that you
may notice that the gif looks just dandy if viewed on a web page
before importing. Then after importing it may appear to have had a
triple shot of espresso. This is because the frame rate of
Captivate is normally 30 FPS. It's not uncommon at all to see .GIF
files with a frame rate of 10. The answer? Either slow Captivate
down or speed up the .GIF before bringing it into Captivate.

Controlling captivate movie with JavaScript
Hi,
I am trying to use Flash methods to control a captivate movie
using procedures documented in the support center article:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/publishexport/scriptingwithflash/scriptingwithflash_03. html
I am using the following code in a JavaScript:
var movie = window.document.Captivate1;
movie.StopPlay();
Captivate1 is the object ID assigned by Captivate when it
generates the HTML file. The movie does not respond to the command.
I have created my own Flash movie and the StopPlay command
works with it.
Thanks in advance for any help anybody can provide!Captivate SWFs don't respond like other Flash movies. You can
use similar techniques, but must use some specific, legacy "control
variables" that are hanging around since the RoboDemo days:
To pause a movie, use rdcmndPause = 1;
A good place to find more details is here:

Rewind Captivate movie in PowerPoint
I've managed to get a Captivate movie into PowerPoint
following instructions found at
http://www.flashgeek.com/tutorials/
However, although I've followed the instructions, I can't get
the movie to start at the beginning each time the slide with the
movie displays.
Can anyone help with precise instructions on how to rewind
the movie?If you deselect "Borders" under Project/Skin the navigation
bars are included in the resulting swf. Which you can embed in
powerpoint.
There is some little trickery with VBA you can use to start
the movie automtically:
(sorry it is partly in german because of my program skin)
In Powerpoint open the Toolbar „Steuerelement
Toolbox“ or open it with (View / Symbolleisten / …).
There click on “weitere Steuerelemente“ klicken
(Symbol with a hammer).
In the alphabetical dropdown list select „Shockwave
Flash“ .The mouse changes to a cross with which you can open
a rectangle on the slide. There the video will appear later. Now it
is filled with a big "X".
Right click on the rectangle and select "Properties". There
behind "Movie" enter the name of the video (if it is at the same
location) or the path.
If you choose TRUE after "embed movie" the resulting
powerpoint presentation contains the flash movie, if you choose
"false" it just links to it. So you can either assure that the
video is part of the presentation or you can update the
presentation by naming a new video identically to the old one and
the link in your presentation now shows the new video (do you
understand what I mean?)
If you start your presentation the video starts (even if it
is on the last slide). You can restart it automatically by doing
the following:
Double-click on the rectangle whre your video will be shown.
The VBA editor opens in a new window. There click on Insert/modul
in the toolbar.
The modul is a editor-window where you now place your code.
Copy&Paste the following (example from me for three movies just
edit it depending on your needs):
Sub OnSlideShowPageChange()
Dim film1 As ShockwaveFlash
Dim film2 As ShockwaveFlash
Dim film3 As ShockwaveFlash
Set film1 =
ActivePresentation.Slides(2).Shapes("ShockwaveFlash1").OLEFormat.Object
Set film2 =
ActivePresentation.Slides(3).Shapes("ShockwaveFlash2").OLEFormat.Object
Set film3 =
ActivePresentation.Slides(4).Shapes("ShockwaveFlash3").OLEFormat.Object
film1.Playing = False
film2.Playing = False
film3.Playing = False
film1.Rewind
film2.Rewind
film3.Rewind
film1.Play
film2.Play
film3.Play
End Sub
This is doing the following:
Each time you enter a slide with a flash-video the video is
rewind and played from the beginning. In this example there are
three videos in the presentation. Do not change the order of the
commands or it will not work!
The numbers in ( ) are the number of the slide on which the
movie is appearing (here: the 2nd, the 3rd and the 4th). The name
of the movie which you can find in the properties behind "name" or
"title" is also entered. If you make a mistake here the code cannot
affect your movies. Keep in mind that the numbering of the slides
in the presentation is to be used, not the numbering shown in the
vba editor, which you can see on the left (where you also see your
module)
In this example the movie „Shockwaveflash1“ is on
the second slide.
Then click on "Save" in the vba editor and close the window.
Now test your presentation... It should work just fine! -
Hi,
I am adding a captivate movie into my project.
I dont want the movie to automatically display in the help
file, like it seems to do when I do "insert RoboDemo". So, instead,
I have a small graphic that I have inserted into the project, and
added a hyperlink. I chose "multimedia" as the hyperlink type, then
selected the webhelp movie from my files.
When I preview the Topic, the link works fine......The issue
I am having is that I recorded the movie at 800x600, and when I
click to view it, it is displaying as full screen, and therefore
looks a distorted because its being enlarged.
Should I re-record the movies at a different size, or is
there a way I can specify how big I want it to display?
Thankyou in advance!I'm thinking about downgrading to captivate 4 because of this issue.
Does anyone know if this is happanning only in 5?
Thank you,
Keren -
SLOW playback of captivate movies.
Hi all,
First of all I apologise in advance if this has been asked before on this Forum
but I view this as a serious problem in this project that I am working on and I
have not yet found a sufficient answer on this forum plus I have a tight deadline
to adher to.
I have produced a Captivate movie with 192 slides and OK, on the vast majority of
slides I have a high-lighted area that fades in as well as an imported SWF movie
(consisting of only 1 frame and exported from Flash as it is just an arrow pointing
at a particular part of the screen etc and this fades in as well), so there are a lot of
transitions in this movie.
I also have 5 rollover buttons originally produced in Flash on each page that
guide you to 5 respective sections in the overall movie.
I then published this first as an standalone executable movie and then as a SWF
embedded in a HTML file and when I play either of these back the performance
is really painfully slow with these highlights and arrow fading in a very slow rate.
The actual file is 7623KB in memory size and the machine I am currently using is
quite new with realtively good performance AND I have tested both the executable
file and the SWF on my own laptop which is top of the range, but I am getting the
same SLOW performance.
I have produced other Captivate movies with around 80 slides or so but they have all
played back considerably faster than this one.
So, therefore is a realistic limit on the number of slides you could have in Captivate
as well as the number of transitions etc?
I have even set this movie to playback at 50 frames per second and this has had no
effect.
So any suggestions would be most welcome!!!
Thanks in advance!Hi,
Could you pls. share your project with me so that we can investigate? You can upload the project at http://share.acrobat.com and my email id is [email protected]
Thanks,

My iPhone 4 with iOS 6 is making me start to hate Apple. Any App and at any time I open and I can not view it or move for more than 2 minutes, they close themselves. During connections, it also gives this problem and the signal disappears after a few seconds back but often the person on the other end has hung up ... I can not stand it anymore, someone suggests something?
Besides these problems, there is the battery, which was bad got worse, she is not lasting more than 10 hours, even without using the phone.
Sometimes it even seems that the problem was solved, but my joy did not last long after I celebrate all the problems return, is incredible ...
thanks.

When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes. Not a fix. Help?
after perusing other subjects with playback issues:
this is the fix:
-Launch Control Panel - Double click Quicktime, If you do not see quicktime, look on the top left side of control panel and switch to classic view. This will then allow you to see Quicktime.
-Now click the advanced tab and click on Safe Mode GDI Only, Apply, then ok. -
Updated iPad 2 last night. All movies (9) on my iPad can no longer be viewed. The movie plays but the photos and scene selection are blank. How do I fix this
Quit the app and restart the iPad.
In order to quit or close apps - 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.
Try the videos app again. -
I have a Panasonic DMC-FZ38 HD camera and have lots of hd movie clips stored on my old Windows Pc using Photofun software supplied by Panasonic, which I want to transfer to my new Imac computer. I am able to copy my most recent movies that are still on the memory card from my camera onto Imovie and view them with no problems at all. When it comes to copying my old existing hd movies stored on my Windows Pc (and which are no longer stored on a memory card), I discover that when I view them on the Imovie, the speed has doubled but the sound is normal. In order to transfer my old movies I have copied them back onto a memory card (SDHC - the same card as previously used) and then put the card back into my camera and then copied them onto my Imac via the camera USB. I have also used a card reader but get the same result. If I view the same movie through my camera, or look at it on my old pc, it plays at normal speed. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening please?
have you read and watch the Tutorials..? :
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie
iM is a bit.. iffy, when it comes to the definition, what a 'camera' is. historically, only tape based machines were a movie-camera. nowadays still-cams allow movin' images too..
but, as mentioned above: the intended workflow is: material from photo cameras (even when they move) => import via iPhoto; material from video cameras (even when they don't move.. ) => iMovie
when the import is done, you'll notice in all iLife apps the 'media browser' - in iM09, on the very right, the icon with a camera on.. click it, presto, all (incl. your 'videos') your iPhoto Library at hand for usage in iMovie.

Can I view photos and movies from my external hard drive? I used Time Machine and a WD Passport for backup. Since my drive on my MacBook Pro is filling up I was planning to delete some of the movies and photos. I wanted to see if I could view them from the hard drive. Thanks
Hello, eco1.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like you are wanting to move your iTunes media folder to an external drive and have iTunes this folder from this location. If this is the case then I would recommend taking a look at the article below.

Safari is giving me a missing plug in message when I try to view things like movie trailers. The trailers play on Firefox, so I'm not sure what's missing from Safari. I have Safari 5.0.6 and Mac OS X 10.5.8.
I just noticed that it won't play some newsite videos anymore either. What plug in do I need to update (if that's the problem)?

I have numerous music movie clips that I have not purchased through iTunes, Is it possible to stream these "home" movies using iTunes to apple TV?
And if iTunes will not allow it, is there another complete program available that I can purchase to have my music movie clips stream to a TV and/or another computer?
Any help would be appreciated. ThanksThanks, Winston C, I've actually tried everything you suggested. I'm thinking now that the Home Sharing problem likely is related to Bonjour--I've seen several people mention this with similar (but not identical) problems. The solution that seems to work for some people is to uninstall and reinstall Bonjour. Frankly, I don't want to go through the trouble given that the iOS 7 release is imminent.
One thing that I haven't tried is resetting the ATV to factory settings. I'll give that whirl.
Thanks for your advice! -
Adding a Loading Animation to a Captivate movie for use in a RoboHelp Project?
Hello all:
I'm inserting SWFs (built in Captivate 5) into Robohelp topics (using RoboHelp 9, publishing to WebHelp Pro output). These topics hold only the SWFs, so I've published the SWFs to autoplay when opened.
The problem is this: when I publish my RoboHelp project, my Captivate movies display as image icons (see screenshot). There is no loading animnation or screenshot to indicate that the Captivate movie works. If I wait a few seconds (variable, depending on file size of the SWF), the movie will appear and start to play. I'm concerned that my user will think the file is broken and leave the page.
How can I enable a loading animation (or even a loading image) to show my user that there is, in fact, content on the page when the topic loads? I'd like to keep the auto-play functionality, if possible.The best option is to break out the words because it gives you the most control. However, if the two words you want to glow are next to each other you can use the Sequence Text behavior.
Select the text and apply Text Animation/Sequence Text to the layer. In the behaviors tab, click on the Add parameter and select Glow/Color. This will create a parameter that you can assign to a character, word, line or custom area.
Now you'll need to add several parameters so repeat the above step adding parameters for Glow/Opacity, Glow/Blur, and Glow/Radius. You might even want to change the color of the font for those two words. If so, add a parameter for Face/Color.
Once you have all the parameters added, change the Traversal parameter to Custom. Change the Select parameter to Custom. Use the Start parameter to determine the beginning of the "glow" area, and the End parameter to fix the end of it. Set the Spread to 0 so there is no spillage of the glow to the words on either side.
Now adjust the color, blur and radius of the glow just as you would if you were adding it to the entire paragraph.
