1. Re: Image Sequences - Are they heavy in file size? Alternatives to a Ken Burns effect?
ShindaTravis Jun 17, 2014 6:53 AM (in response to ShindaTravis)I would be inclined to somehow host these "slideshows" on the web to save on file size, but then all the iPad users on the go with no internet connection would have a bad experience with the app.

Neil Enns - Adobe Jun 17, 2014 8:03 AM (in response to ShindaTravis)You should try rendering to a video instead and seeing if that works better for your file size. By rendering to a video you could stream it from a server instead of having to bake it into the folio.

ShindaTravis Jun 17, 2014 8:10 AM (in response to Neil Enns - Adobe)Thank you, Neil.
Would I just do the usual web content overlay and be able to have this video loop in the background behind my other content?
You mentioned streaming the video from a server. What video format would be best for this? MPEG4? Also, if we were to stream it from a server, what would happen if the user did not have an internet connection when viewing these pages?

Neil Enns - Adobe Jun 17, 2014 8:41 AM (in response to ShindaTravis)You can do it that way, yes. I was thinking of using our native video overlay instead, but it doesn’t support looping the video.
File format would depend on what device you’re targeting and what they support. I believe .mp4 will work. If the reader isn’t online then they wouldn’t see the video.

-hans- Jun 17, 2014 9:02 AM (in response to ShindaTravis)streaming the video from within a weboverlay, you've got the possibility to check wether the iPad isOnline.
So you could prepare a alternative which would load its resources from HTMLResources.zip-File or just disable playing ...

ShindaTravis Jun 17, 2014 9:12 AM (in response to -hans-)I like the idea of displaying an alternate if the user is NOT connected. Could you elaborate on how this would be done using the HTMLResources.zip file?

-hans- Jun 17, 2014 9:29 AM (in response to ShindaTravis)Well, in fact you won't even need the HTMLResources.zip, just if you want to reuse files ...
Build a local-html which plays the video from any internet storage and add a check to it to display alternatives ...
if(navigator.onLine == false){
//not online: do alternate stuff or nothing
}else{
//start video playing
}
