TIP 128: Tweaking a Movie

Once a movie is added to your document, as described in Tip 127, there are a number of ways you can customize it. This tip describes working with an Acrobat 6compatible movie; the same dialogs and options are available for working with an embedded sound file as well.

On the List

Renditions you want to include in your movie are listed on the Settings tab of the Multimedia Properties dialog. Consider what types of players your users are likely to have on their computers, and then reorder the list as necessary by clicking a rendition's name and then clicking the Up or Down arrow to the right of the list. On playback, Acrobat tries to play the first rendition in the list; if unsuccessful, it tries the second, and so on until the movie and player are compatible.

You can use a number of versions of the movie, called renditions. Use alternate renditions when you are unsure which player your users have, or if you want to offer both high-quality and lower-quality versions of a movie.

With the Movie Tool, double-click the movie on the document to open the Multimedia Properties dialog. You configure renditions as well as other settings for the movie in this dialog.

First, let's look at renditions. The Multimedia Properties dialog opens to the Settings tab (Figure 128a). The Annotation Title is a name assigned by Acrobat to identify the object; click the field and change the name if you like. Type a description for an alternate text tag to assist in making the document accessible.

Play It Again, Sam

You can modify the characteristics of any of the renditions you add to a movie. Click a rendition in the Multimedia Properties dialog and then click Edit Rendition to open the Rendition Settings dialog. This five-tab dialog can be used to tweak your movies as necessary:

On the Media Settings tab, make a rendition accessible to JavaScript, as well as choosing options similar to those in the basic Add Movie dialog.
On the Playback Settings tab, define looping, specify how long the player remains open, add controls, and specify players.
On the Playback Location tab, choose to play your movie in a floating window or full-screen and select options.
On the Systems Requirements tab, specify languages and playback requirements such as screen resolution and subtitles.
On the Playback Requirements tab, review the settings chosen in other tabs.

The movie you add to the document is shown as the first (and only) rendition. You can add more versionsclick Add Rendition to locate and select additional versions; click Edit Rendition to open the Rendition Settings dialog, where you can select a wide range of customizations, such as placing the movie in a floating window and adding controls, as shown in Figure 128b. Read about further customizations in the sidebar "Play It Again, Sam" in this tip. Remove a rendition you don't want to keep by selecting its name in the list and clicking Remove Rendition.

To modify the border of your movie, click the Appearance tab of the Multimedia Properties dialog (Figure 128c). The default border for a movie is a thin black line. Click the Type pull-down arrow and choose Invisible Rectangle if you want to hide the border altogether, or choose color, thickness, and style from the appropriate options.
