Searchable Video with Creative Suite 4

What’s Next?

You can compare your work to the sample files in the VideoSearch_Complete folder.  Use this to make sure your documents are properly working.  The workflow is a little tricky at first, but then gets very easy after a few tries.

Well, you’ve reached the end of the article.  But feel free to use these files with your own video.  To learn more about the interaction of Flash and After Effects (including design and animation techniques) check out www.peachpit.com/AEFlashCS4. Be sure to keep an eye on the page as we’ll post updates as things continue to evolve with Flash and After Effects.

Hi,
I came to this demo rather late as I’m using Sb CS5, and I was rather disappointed to find that this searchable-video-prog doesn’t work when it’s prepared in the CS5 version. I’m not sure, but it may be that Sb CS5 does not export exactly the same data in its xml file(?)  All the speech analysis, exporting, re-importing as markers, and then saving of the vid+metadata… all work well, but when launched in the browser, it stops at the “Please be patient… etc” dialogue box and never gets any further.

What would be really good, would be to have a copy of the .fla file of the video player, with its ActionScript, so I could have a go at matching the code that reads in the data with those in the exported xml file. Do you think there is any chance of that happening?
