Question

Flash Player & Camtasia Studio

since installing the latest version of Macromedia Flash Player I have been unable to play Camtasia Studio videos that are streamed online. I read on the Techsmith site that the latest version of Flash Player is not compatible with Camtasia Studio and to me this is a real hassle as alot of the online marketers use Camtasia Studio when creating online video content. Can you tell me if there is going to be a release in the near future that will fix this problem? I have read there is a temp solution where I can download something and run my own videos through it but that doesn't help me if I'm watching another marketers online videos. Is there any way that people can download an earlier version of flash player in the mean time as a temporary measure to fix this prob?

Thanks heaps


Victoria

    The latest version of Flash Player, 9.0.124.0, does not address the issue.

    Is there any word on when Adobe will have a fix for this? We are aware of the app that was provided by Techsmith, but it would be really helpful if Adobe would get out the fix ASAP.

    Hi Darren,

    But we don't use Camtasia. What is your suggestion?

    This will be addressed by Adobe in a future release of Flash Player.

    Also, this depends on how you create your SWF files. Camtasia has found that if there are SoundStreamBlock tags that do not contain whole MP3 frames, the audio may sound garbled. If you adjusted your code to always write whole MP3 audio frames into each SoundStreamBlock you can avoid this issue.

    If you are a developer using Camtasia, you can use the “SWFMP3Fixer.zip” tool to fix this issue.

    FoothillsFred, the last previous version to 9.0.115.0 (the problem version) is version 9.0.47.0 from what I can find. The link that Darren McNally posted above will take you to the Flash Player archives, but note that installing a previous version may open up holes in your computer's security that were closed in the latest version. FP 9.0.115.0 was listed as a critical upgrade by Adobe for that reason.

    Camtasia has a tool called “SWFMP3Fixer.zip” for developers to fix their content. For more info see the Camtasia site here:

    Regarding the Camtasia utility--this doesn't do anything for swf videos already distributed. Adobe needs to fix the new version of the player so that it is compatible.

    Is anything happening with this problem? If I need to install an earlier version of Flash Player to play Camtasia videos, which one?

    The problem with the new Flash player when playing Camtasia presentations is horrible. I've been going through an online training series made with Camtasia Studio, but all I can pay attention to is the "ghost voices" talking in the background and the "chipmunk" interjecting its little chipmunk comments.

    Yes, it sounds just like that. Picture a guy talking (the intended audio) while ghosts talk in the background and a chipmunk throws out random comments.

    I'm ready to uninstall Flash Player v9.0.115.0 and go back to an earlier version to finish up my online training. I can't use the earlier version for general internet use due to the "malicious SWF" security vulnerability, so I'll need to block Flash (except for training) until Adobe can fix the audio bug. Hope they can figure out a fix soon.
