VOD and interactive video

Hii all...i am new to all these concepts.
can anybody explain me the difference between the video-on-demand and interactive video.
is it like, in VOD we can download the file from Server and run it locally and in case of interactive video the file can't be downloaded from the server..(play,pause and resume will be executed on the server using RMI)..??

The Apple TV is not a set-top box and does not work with broadcast nor broadband television, so standards such as HbbTV will not be applicable. The Apple TV is a media playback device that works with your computer or with the iTunes Store and a few other Internet-based services such Netflix, YouTube, MobileMe, and Flickr, and only with those services.
While no one outside of Apple can predict future product developments, Apple's indicated that they have no interest in participating in the broadcast/broadband set-top box market. They have a different model, one based on Internet purchase and rental of individual items of content.
Regards.

Making an interactive pdf with animations and a video?

Hi Everyone,
I'm working in InDesign CS6 and I've made a interactive pdf with swf animations, exported it to an interactive pdf and everything works great from the little animations to the page curl. Now, I would like to put a video in on one of the pages.
I've placed it as a .mov and a .mp4, exported as a .swf. It works great in the swf and the html file. It even works great when I export the video page as a interactive pdf by itself.
BUT, when I export all the pages in my doc (with the animations and the video) as a swf, then RE-import into ID, to export as a interactive pdf... the pdf only gives me a static window. ALL the other animations and page curls work though.
So there's a disconnect between the video and going from a swf to a interactive pdf.
Can anyone tell me what step I'm missing or if this just isn't possible yet?!
Thanks so much!!!

Without seeing actual file, it´s hard to say what´s going on... but have you chekced that Flash Player in Acrobat finds your video? When you export SWF from InDesign, videos or any other placed rich media files are not embedded into the SWF. InDesign creates a resources folder next to SWF and stores those media assets into that folder. If you don´t have that folder same place with exported SWF, you will have problems.
If you place your video file into your layout and export as PDF, there shouldn´t be any problems. But if you place your video file into your layout, export as SWF, place that SWF back to InDesign and then export as PDF... then you will lose the connection between resulting PDF and resources InDesign created.
One way to solve that is to use public URL for placing videos. Thwn you won´t need actual video file stored locally. Downside is that Acrobat/Reader may throw an alert about that.
Another way is to open your Interactive PDF to Acrobat, select placed SWF and embedd resources folder into PDF manually.

Embedded Video and Interactive Buttons

Embedded Video and Interactive Custom Button support is needed for Adobe Reader for Android.

Any update?
According to the product page, Adobe Reader is "the only PDF file viewer that can open and interact with all types of PDF content, including forms and multimedia".
However Adobe Reader on the Android STILL does not support interactive PDFs.

Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop video

Hi can anyone please send me or give me a link for a interactive simple and short video explaining the difference b/w Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop?
I need to give a presentation to some beginners and thought a video would be good to keep the audience engaged and have the three things explained. I need to give the presentation in 2 days so quick solutions will be great.
Thanks

HI this is good. But i have already seen this.
Its very informative but somehow i felt it lacks the punch and fun factor in a video. I need something which captivates and entrances the audience, not a speech kind of a thing.
Anything else??

How to make interactive video in Flash?

Hello,
We are trying to create an interactive video in Flash. Basically, we need to put this video in our game, and players should be able to pause/replay/play it.
I found some tutorial about this topic, but all of them were created more than 2 years ago. They all use FLV/F4V files.
But now, Adobe Media Encoder doesn't support exporting FLV file.
As what mentioned in this page:
removal of FLV and F4V export features from Adobe Media Encoder, After Effects, and Premiere Pro | After Effects regio…
Flash team seems recommend users to input mp4. video rather than FLA video.
So is that mean we can use mp4 file to do interactive video, adding Action Script on the importing mp4. video?
Thank you.

either use mp4 files or use an older ame.

How to place local mp4 and ogg video in Muse?

I have been using Flash to create interactive training including FLV over the web. Now that FLV is dead on the web. I wanted to use Muse but my customer requires video clips to be on his business server. Muse appears to only support uTube like video? Is there a work around to play local mp4 and ogg video by adding HTML code into Muse?
JU in Chelan

There is a native audio and video players embeded here >>
http://jforbes.us/test/index.html
I coded the HTML in Dreamweaver, Inserted it into Muse, Exported to HTML, FTPed to host.
At first it didn't play because I hadn't uploaded the media files. Once that was done - It seems to work.
Excuse the An animation at the top of page. I just used an existing Muse test page to test your idea.

Interactive video

Hi, I am an amateur at this and need some help.
I am using Flash CS4. I want to make an interactive video, in which there is one sound file playing throughout but using buttons over the video the user can change the video angle.
I was thinking having 3 different videos on separate layers with buttons that bring different layers to the front.
Would this work? could anyone instuct me further? any help would be greatly appreciated!
best.

Any ideas?

Interactive videos

I am interested in making interactive videos and distributing them on different platforms (computer download, tablets, smartphones). What software package(s) would be best for me? Would an interactive video created with the adobe package(s) work on all operating systems?

Interactive features I am looking to put into the video are:
1) The user can press a word or picture in the presentation and get a box come up with information and/or get sent to a new screen to start off an animation.
2) The user can drag and drop answers into spaces provided.
3) Additional things that might be good would be mini quizes such as word searches, crosswords.
I've hyperlinked presenations before using powerpoint so I know linking to a new screen can be done with hyperlinks in powerpoint. I am not sure about 2) and 3). I would do the interactivity as part of a website if the software that was easiest to use didn't provide a format that would work on multiple platforms, that way I could test whether people like it and then I would be more comfortable paying a coder to make it avaliable across multiple platforms.
Any ideas as to how to do 2) and maybe 3). I would be interested in the best software for website use that doesn't take much time to learn (I am not great at coding). Software I have already that might helpful inc; photoshop/premiere elements 12 and powerpoint 2013. If I am only doing website presentations I know 1) is possible but is 2) with those? If its possible do I need any software to polish the presentation (e.g. something to make it run smoothly on the web)?

Interactive video presentation no flash

Hello everybody,
I am a Visualization Artist and I used to work long time ago doing website(I am a graphic designer too) I been aproached by an old client asking me to develop a "Interactive video presentation" of a product for Engineering purposes.
The final output should be Web and CD to be used a promotional media.
My first option was Flash but he questioned that because he want people that uses Ipad and other tables be able to see in a web interfase.
The main idea is play a short video demostrating the produc and funcionality, then the user should be able to stop and play repeat a chapter or jump to other charpter of the presentation.
I own Creative cloud and some 3D softwares so I think I should be fine software wise, but my question is if there is something New in Adobe that I can use instead of Flash to produce something like this?
Can I do everything at once or I need to prepare a video for Web in Flash an other for a CD and some App for tablets everything separated?
any gidance will be much apreciated.

This may not be the most efficient way to do this, but you could have the mouse click incriment a counter, and on the last frame of the loop have a statement basically saying if the counter is greater than 0, then play the second loop, and set up another mouse event to incriment a second counter if loop2 is playing, so on and so forth. Not exactly sure how you're planning to organize this, and what version of actionscript you plan on using so I can't really give you too much help in terms of the specific coding.

Interactive video for indesign cc

How to create interactive video for marketing ie tap screen when video is playing and goods come up but must be able to use in indesign cc for magazine I am working on ?

Hi,
Bob is totally right!
It's a very clever solution given by Derrick Schultz.
As I said in his topic, I've tested this tip in a fixed-layout epub exported from InDesign CC 2014.1.
See: Dropbox - FanfanLaTulipe_Print-Num_02.epub
It works very fine! You can discover a simple slideshow page 6 by tapping on the image!

Clickable hotspots or tooltips on videos; interactive videos.

Hello all,
Forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong forum. I'd like to know if what I'm proposing has been done before, and if so what some of the examples look like.
My idea is to embed clickable hotspots over a video. For example, we have a shot of a truck rolling down the highway. As it continues driving, different hotspots pop up over various parts of the truck, like axles, transmission, engines, etc. These hotspots can then be clickable, and a small tooltip/bubble pops up with a description about that part. As the video continues playing, different hotspots continue to be generated and available.
I've been poking around all over the web looking for either examples or programs that enable the effect. I've found that most "interactive videos" are based around two premises: shopping from within the video and pick your own storyline. Neither of which is necessarily what I'm looking for, so I've begun thinking that this might an After Effects/Flash based affair. I can use After Effects to generate the tooltips or 3D overlays of the various parts onto the original video, and use Flash to generate the approriate interaction.
As this video will be web based, my final idea was to run the video underneath a layer of code that generated both the sprites and the effects. The problem there is setting up the scripts so that they are timed perfectly with the video.
Any thoughts? If this isn't the place for this, could someone point out where I can get some insight? Much appreciated in advance!
Cheers.
D.

Hey D.
Read your recent question looking for examples of interactive video that looked at other user cases rather than the usual shoppable and choose your own adventure videos.
Thought you might be interested in having a look at wireWAX (www.wirewax.com). We started out much like you creating overlays and doing tracking in After Effects and then using Flash to apply the interaction.
wireWAX has since developed into an online tool that allows anyone one from the most techy creative like yourself, to the basic YouTuber, upload their own videos to the wireWAX studio. From there users can add their own tags to objects and people which are then tracked using our super intelligent tracking system ready for you to add your own overlays or choose from a range of widgets such as YouTube and Facebook. The platform now uses much more advanced image processing to do things like face detection and motion tracking in real-time and works across mobile and tablet too.
OK, sales pitch over, please do have a go. You can simply drop a video into the dropbox on the homepage and use the free tool to add interaction. We also work with brands/producers/filmmakers to create customized experiences on a paid-for service.
Here are a few examples of some videos you might find useful:
National Portrait Gallery Walkthrough
This video was created by one of our users using the free wireWAX tool. It allows viewers to click on pieces of the artwork to get more information either through a short text description or video in video interview with the curator.
https://www.wirewax.com/7002501/
BBC News
The BBC developed this engaging interactive experience to coincide with the anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Viewers could learn more about the ongoing impact and explore extra content clicking on the hotspots that interested them.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-22185262
BBC One Luther
The BBC’s 2nd interactive wireWAX video was a trailer for their crime drama Luther. It included exclusive clips and unseen treats in a fitting stylised tag and overlay for the programme.
http://wirewax.com/luther
Adidas Messi gallery
A customised overlay for Adidas who created this clickable walk through using wireWax to allow Messi fans to click on memorabilia to discover more.
https://www.wirewax.com/7004524/
There’s also plenty of shoppable examples on our site too.
If you have a specific project in mind or you have any general questions about wireWAX just give us a shout.

I'm sure someone addressed this - interactive video in html 5

I'm a longtime Adobe user, as we move toward the future I see the html 5 css3 Dreamweaver pack prepares me for the steps ahead. I would think somebody has already answered this question but I have a client I did some Flash interactive videos for. real simple as rolling over a certain area in the .swf plays an audio clip. The client needs this to be viewble within html 5 so converting the flash to H264 is easy but what about preserving the interactivity?
I looked around but still cannot answer the client until I know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. I'm excited abiut the Adobe flash converter which I have seen the video on which will no doubt when ready for public will boost my business greatly as Flash created technology moves into the future.
Can anyone give me an update on how to address the question " can I convert a flash INTERACTIVE swf an HTML 5 standard format preserving the interactive features of Flash?
thx

Hi
First - There is nothing stopping you continuing to use swf's with html5 as the object/embed code used is still valid and recognised by html5.
Second - You are probably asking this question due to the fact that the iPhone/iPad does not allow flash content. Unfortunately there is no way to get flash to play on these devices, (at the moment, but this could / probably will change). To use interactive graphics on these devices requires the use of the canvas element and javascript, but unfortunately the canvas element are not usable on current versions of IE, (IE9 does allow them).
There is a javascript fix that will allow the use of canvas on IE versions prior to IE9 but I cannot recommend its use due to its speed of rendering except for very simple animations, (and I do mean very simple).
The general opinion of most designers/developers appears to be that unless your target audience is the iPhone/iPad, then continue to use swf's for such items for the next few years at least, after all, the purchasers of the iPhone/iPad did buy these devices, (in most cases) knowing that they could not render flash.

Interactive video techniques

Hi All,
Just watch another video today, regarding how video is the
future of internet advertising. When it comes to creating
interactive video, cue points can help.
Can anyone provide or show examples of truely interactive
video; that lets the user click on an item while the video is
playing, and get redirected or view further info related to that
particular item, or a audio description.
Any help on how-to acheive the above techniques, would TRUELY
be appreciated ;)
In my view, truely interactive video should allow a user to
truely interact with the items/content of a video; or am I just
having another vision of the future?
Kind Regards,
Boxing Boom

Hi,
Just found an example of this here:

DPS and Edge: Video not playing, Fonts not displayed

Hi
I am struggeling with using edge exports for my DPS magazine. The compositions work just perfect in the browser but when imported in DPS:
- Embedded fonts are not displayed
- Video (used as Background) won't play
Very grateful for help!
Best,
Matthias

Interactive elements always will come to the top no matter what layer they are on. Although you can layer multiple interactive elements. The way around this is to make things like text and images MSO (Multi State Objects) and then layer them. Just set the MSO to cycle once and stop at last image and turn off transition so basically you just have the image or text doing one cycle but you don't see it happen. Then they can live on top of things like video and any interactive element.
To create the interactive video I would make each video an MSO with a blank box the same size as the video.
So take the first video and make a blank box the same size. Group them into a MSO. This gives the video an off state basically.
Do that for each and stack the MSO videos. Be sure to add a button to close each MSO video. (Go to state 1, the blank box or off state.) You can have a Go To State button in your MSO for the off state.
Hope this helps.

DVI to Video Adapter and S-Video Cable = Flipping TV Screen

Hello!
I attached my DVI & S-Video Cable to my television. Everything was fine, except when choosing different display resolutions, the TV screen would start flipping.
THEN:
• I removed the DVI to Video Adapter from the computer while it was still plugged into the TV.
Now, no matter what I have tried, I get a TV screen that flips.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Jeff

S-Video is the better of the two interfaces. Neither is very good when compared with a computer screen, which will have much higher resolution. I doubt you will notice much difference between S-Video and RCA Video but if you have the choice you might as well go S-Video.
