    Embedded video is choppy when published to F4V

    jod-zeee Community Member

      I posted a bit about this in another thread but it started as another subject and I haven't found a resolution yet.

       

      My Captivate is a linked PowerPoint with animation and voice over added with a video embedded. I've tried publishing it to F4V, but the video comes out choppy and the end is cut off.

       

      I tried exporting as a fixed frame  rate, but that was worse. When published as a SWF/HTML, all is well.

       

      My goal is to get it to play on an iPad. What's the best way to get it into the right format and play smoothly?

       

      Thank you for your help.

          I'm still unable to get this to work right. I went back and converted my original WMV file to F4V at 30fps and imported that into Captivate. The problem may have been that the original video was not quite 30fps. When I published to F4V, this time it was a lot better.

           

          But my goal is to get it into MP4 format. I tried the Adobe Media Encoder and the PowerPoint slides whizzed through instead of using the timing I'd set making the total time of the video less than half of what it's supposed to be!

           

          So my latest attempt was to upload the F4V to YouTube and it turned out choppy with the end cut off again. I'd even added time to the end to avoid this problem.

           

          What am I doing wrong?!
