Re: [Flashcoders] Fwd: Dynamically superimposing image onto video
The server load is not a concern but it will not need to be live streaming at all, so I am planning to do the dynamic image overlay - triggered by cue points and animated by script with possibly frame-by-frame hand drawn mask - at the client side. Thinking about it, there's no need to upload the user image to the server - just do everything at the client ;) Kenneth Kawamoto http://www.materiaprima.co.uk/ Anthony Pace wrote: For the first sentence I meant to say that applying an overlay at the client is fine, if you are not concerned with your stream being ripped without branding, possible cnn style news events, or captions being included. If things need to be live and targeted you will want to do things at the server; otherwise, if server load is a concern, and you do not need to be changing graphics live, then doing it during encoding and prior to uploading the content to the server might be the way to go.

If there are branding concerns, or you work for a site that would like to reduce bandwidth and send news events cnn style, then you will have to know how to modify the stream before you send it to the client. If new events aren't required, but the branding is, then you really only need to do a separate encoding that includes the content. Ads at cue point, using a number of methods, can easily be told to fire based on the time per frame.

RE: [Flashcoders] Fwd: Dynamically superimposing image onto video
I would agree and guess that's how it's done - overlay a movie clip you tween and distort and add objects over the top of - to match the video.

Re: [Flashcoders] Fwd: Dynamically superimposing image onto video
Yes, basically that. If it's still image it's very easy, but it's a video - so that the perspective changes and the mask (e.g. to handle something over-wrapping in front of the image) changes due course. I probably need to draw the mask by hand frame by frame and control the perspective of the image by AS. This is not going to be an easy one... ;) -- Kenneth Kawamoto http://www.materiaprima.co.uk/ On 12 March 2010 13:55, Nathan Mynarcik wrote: > Why not just overlay a mc that contains your image on top of the video? > > > --Original Message-- > From: kennethkawam...@gmail.com > Sender: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com > To: Flash Coders List > ReplyTo: Flash Coders List > Subject: [Flashcoders] Fwd: Dynamically superimposing image onto video > Sent: Mar 12, 2010 3:47 AM > > Anyone??? > >>> > > Just contemplating the strategy for dynamically superimposing an image > onto a video.
