    Aug. 29/2021 Update: I was informed recently that video will work in Interactive PDF so long as you have the most updated version of Adobe Acrobat. I tested this, and yes it does work. However, I didn't have any video control options so I wasn't able to pause, stop or resume the video in the PDF. I still encourage to use a different export option (Publish Online, EPub) but if you need PDF, just note that it will work with the latest version of Acrobat with limited control options. Best of luck!

      Hi Angelo, new subscriber! I love your tutorials, I am just getting in the world of interactive publications and I see that you have tons of cool stuff. I really loved your tutorial on HTML5 and Flipsnack, cause last year I had a project where I had to design the whole thing in FS which was sort of a nightmare since they do not have the full capabilities of InDesign. I see with joy that that interactivity from InDesign can go directly into Flipsnack when you upload the PDF, however, do you happen to know if these videos would work on Flipsnack too? What about embedded content? Not just bookmarks and hyperlinks... I am assuming yes, but I was wondering if you already tried that. Greetings from Mexico!

      thank you for adding this addition. I have been going crazy, following instructions, and not getting video to play in pdf, and not getting the control band at the bottom to show while in Indesign, following your video above... Why would Adobe UN do a feature that was working?

      I test this in Adobe CC and export it to interactive PDF and view it on Acrobat DC - It didn't work :(
      and when I view it not in a full screen, I can see an error msg, its still asking for Flash player.

      Hi Angelo, great video! Curious to know if there is a way for an EPUB file/link to not have any any video control options as I do not like that look. I rather the video just play on the page load, which it does (with a delay unfortunately) however, I do not like the play and volume buttons showing.

      Hi Angelo! I tried placing an MP4 (actually a few different ones to test) and they won't show up either in the EPub preview or when I save it. Yours shows a thumbnail, mine isn't showing at all and I'm doing exactly what you're doing. I'm on the newest version in Creative Suite, think that's the issue?

    Update: Unfortunately, Adobe has phased out Flash completely - making rich media content like video non-functional in Interactive PDF. The alternative is HTML5 interactivity - either publish online or export as an ePub (Fixed Layout). Just know that Interactive PDF for rich media content won't work moving forward. Hope that helps.

    If anyone is having issues playing video in PDF (Interactive) and is getting a pop-up that says "Trust this document once" or "Trust this document always", select either, save and close the PDF. Re-open it and try playing video again. It may be an issue relating to Flash. It was a bug I was dealing with for a while and that is the work-around.

Set the playhead in the preview to where you want the frame to be and then click the refresh icon. You'll also notice with the dropdown, you have the option of uploading your own image.

    Very helpful videos! Question: If I want to have several videos placed on a portrait oriented interactive PDF published online, is there a way to set their individual media controls to play in sequence as they are scrolled to, and appear, on the user's screen? I would like to have several videos on one scrollable PDF for a multimedia art project, and have them each autoplay as the user scrolls through the document, but don't want them to all play at once by setting them to "play on page load." Any tips or workarounds you could offer would be much appreciated! Thank you!

    • @AngeloMontilla
      @AngeloMontilla  2 роки тому

      Hi Sarah! You can place multiple videos in a document and not have them play of page load. In the Media panel (Window > Interactive > Media) there's an option to turn on/off a video playing on page load. However, doing so means a user will have to play/stop/pause it through the playback controls. I know what you're asking, but it's not possible. It's either you play it on page load or you play it manually. There's really no in between.
      Also, be careful in placing video in an interactive PDF. While it may work in the latest version of Acrobat, you'll run into a lot of problems with the video playing properly with Adobe phasing out Flash support. I tested it in the latest version of Acrobat and yes, it will work but I had no playback control. Use Publish Online or EPub to be on the safe side. All the best!

They queue up one after the other, which might suit my purposes. Thank you!

      Hey Mariana! InDesign does have an HTML export, you'd need to hand off the assets and javascript to a programmer to have it translate for web seamlessly. That is why Publish Online is so convenient. But I know exactly what you mean. in5 has many export features that make it easier to share with clients or on your own site. I think InDesign continues to evolve and it'll get there. Especially with more demand for digital publishing. I think we're connected on IG so you can message me there too. Thanks!

      Hi Sarah. It sounds like your video needs to be encoded. Even though it's an MP4, often times it still needs to go through an encoding process and set to H.264 in order to work in InDesign. Do you have Adobe Media Encoder? Let me know if you do and I can walk you through the process.

      Hey Maeve, first, make sure when you export to PDF, choose PDF (Interactive) and not PDF (Print). The multi-media won't work that way. Also, try updating latest version of Flash. I recommend using another format than Interactive PDF for video. Adobe is phasing out flash in Dec., so you may run into some issues if you need this document long-term. Best of luck!
