Video Conversion Epic Fail!

Edit Subject

HI SJG,

you don't say what you're using Desktop or online editor?

- There may be an issue with the type and size of the video, are you able to load another FLV video? Just in case read http://prezi.com/learn/insert-video/ 50MB size for some licences (see bottom)
- If using Desktop, can you try updating your Adobe Air and see if this helps http://get.adobe.com/air/ (if so what version are you using please?)
- Is it that particular Prezi - can you load to another (try a new one)
- Any error codes you can give me?

Let me know how you get on

cheers

I am working from the desktop version of Prezi 3.086. I have a pro license. I am using the most current version of Adobe AIR. (3.2.0.2070)

I have uploaded 3 different versions of my short video clip and none of them will work. I have tried a 1.59 MB MP4 file, a 5.52 MB Flash file, and I have opened several different templates, including a blank page to try and insert the video. I have tried borders and brackets, no borders or brackets, and all kinds of combinations. I even tried loading Prezi on a different computer (both Windows 7 OS) so all of my video files/resources were on a local drive and not a network drive or another shared computer. Every time I allow the video to be uploaded, I get the following return message:
"Prezi could not load a video. Technical details: id: 2110 the reason is: Event [Event type="stateChange" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2"

Furthermore, I have to go to the edit button and choose “undo” or close the program and re-launch if that doesn’t work because I am left with my screen locked on a weird box of color.

Thanks for any help or advice.

Hi SGJ,

sorry you are still having trouble with this issue - I was about to say try it in FLV format, but I see you have done that already. If I understand you correctly it seems to be only this particular video that is giving you problems (am I right?) All I can suggest now is that the actual short video clip is corrupt in some way so that even after conversion it will not work - I don't think now that it is a server issue as there is no i/o related event mentioned?

Can you try another FLV video which has not been produced in the same way (Camtasia Studio 8) SGJ and see if that works - I would try it online and in the desktop version to see if this makes a difference - maybe with a different browser if possible

Please let me know how you get on

cheers

John
