I have been doing research on interactive books for about a month, and this video is by far the best step by step tutorial I have seen. Now all makes so much sense. Thank you so much Elias!
Thanks so much this has been greatly helpful, but one problem is that in my own publication only the left half my video plays in the interactive preview. I have fit the video across two facing pages and I tried actually exporting the spead as a landscape ePUB and then the right half of the video played instead. If you have time to explain where i have gone wrong, that would be really great - I'm pulling my hair out. Steve.
Stephen, when the user taps to launch the video in which spread it's supposed to pop? The behavior you see might be normal unless the user has access to both spreads at once. I am not sure I can answer your question, I am merely guessing what might cause that. 😀👋
Hello! I'm having trouble with my Interactive PDF doc for IOS systems ... How can I add buttons and pop-up that are actually working on Ipad. .. (I tried with Hyperlink, it doesn't work ...) I'm using Acrobat Reader and Acrobat
I'd like to inquire about the proper steps to ensure that my interactive button successfully redirects the reader to a URL. After saving my PDF, the buttons were not visible at all.
@@EliasSarantopoulos Thank you for getting back to me. I wanted to use the "PUBLISH ONLINE" option. I wanted to share the link to the interactive book, instead of PDF Interactive.
@@ElielOliveira EPUB is extremely powerful because it is all based on HTML 5 and if one dissects it, all contents are just HTML pages that's why a plethora of functions are supported. Best place to review your work is with Apple Books. 😀
@@EliasSarantopoulos Got it. Thank you so much for your support. Great channel! I am a musician and am working on some graphic design files for my content. ruclips.net/user/ElielOliveira (no need to subscribe... just telling you who I am 😉🙏🏻)
Eliel, your Instagram page shows a broken link, are you aware of that? The videos you have with the Blessings room background and lighting are the best for me, if I were to choose from. 😀
Hello, I'm still not managing to get the video to play across the double page spread. It only ever plays half the video... is there something I've missed? Have I got the wrong version of Adobe InDesign or something? I've got the 2020 version. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Could you help me, please. The video I am using does not play across the double page spread. It only plays one half of the video on the left hand side of the double page spread. How do I solve this problem?
Noke Price I believe this has to do with the layer stack. Look inside your layers or the MSO and make sure the video is on top of the stack order. Try that please, thank you! 😀
It is all about the Object State, when the user clicks on the close button then the Object State changes to the Video Button and the video stops playing automatically. Is that the case on your end? 😀
jon villasenor I can't see what you see but look at your layers and the order meaning inside the MSO there is also an order of things, I believe you will find the answer there. Hope that helps. 😀
when i export indesign with videos to epub the epub page size gets all out of proportional, whats the best page size in pixels in indesign to fit perfectly in epub
Well it all depends your document size and the file size Leo. I would recommend 1280 x 720 is a good size depending of course the length of the video. Hope this helps. 😀 👋
eva krol Still looking for one...Use Adobe InDesign to give you the whole interactivity. I test a lot of things on my iPhone or iPad since Apple is the only company that supports such interactivity.
This is a great video! I do have a question as I'm a final year Illustration and Animation student. I'm making an epub book that will discuss pet bereavement but I want the illustrations to have animation elements. I'm making the animation in tv paint then exported them as mp4 files. What would you recommend if i want the video to be on the side page of the book and have no pop up button?
Hmm, good question. Well it all depends your layout. The benefit of a pop-up is immediately the user sees the whole width of the video otherwise he/she might miss it. I marry both techniques on my end Sonnie. 😀 👋
@@EliasSarantopoulos thank you for your quick reply. I'm planning to do a typical children's book layout. When watching your video I wondered if it would be a case of importing a button that would be a still frame of the animation. So frame one to hen one it's clicked the animation would play. What do you think?
@@sonniemonroe3801 When you import an mp4 file you have the ability to set a preview screenshot so that is the way you can do it but that's about it. Makes sense? 😀
@@EliasSarantopoulos I've tried that, that will make the video auto play from the beginning, what I want is the videoplay when the play button clicked and the video frame appear. Thanks
Thank you Elias. Before watching this I created a button and for the action, I chose "play video" on click. But it did not work. Does the video always have to be a state?
Great to tutorial, but I see you also have an expansion button on the right that you didn't explain. How would you create a fullscreen mode for the video?
Manoel Flesch If you want to have the video window to take the whole screen then the pop-up size should be the same as the total width of your screen. It's a matter of what you are after. Once the window size is such, have a close button as I did so it goes to another State.
Joshua, the fullscreen video option is not necessary because inside your EPUB you can just tap to expand it as long as the video is configured to be played in larger screen and not loose its quality. As for the second question, I honestly haven't tried that before since I wouldn't give that choice to the users. There is a way of course if you dissect the EPUB. You see EPUBs are just HTML files so you can open the page containing the video in an HTML editor and configure that, then zip it back again. This is what I would have done to address such an issue myself. Hope this helps, thank you! 😀
A question- I want to make an ebook that I can sell directly from my website as a product. I want it to include video clips so that I can demonstrate things too. It’s a photography book so I want to show them how to setup cameras etc. What is the best way to do this?
That's a long topic to discuss I reckon. These days download file sizes are becoming less important as they used to be so I would probably lean to including the videos inside the eBook. That being said, compressing video sizes and maintaining good quality is also import and these days in my experience that can also be done easily. Not sure if I am answering your question but give it go. Look at the total file size and make a better judgment. I am selling a book online and it's about 150mb and people don't seem to mind since they are getting the proper education or what they paid for. 😀
@@EliasSarantopoulos I appreciate you taking the time to answer that very much. Thanks. It's great to hear the opinions of others and I agree that downloading isn't the problem it used to be. But I think my video clips are likely to exceed 2GB and I worry that I will hit some sort of limit or other problem somewhere down the line.
Hi- Thank you for this video! What if I want to do this exact same thing but with multiple videos? I'm coming across the video popup appearing behind other buttons when playing, how do I avoid this?
Mary Guerrero It is called nested MSO and you can have tons, one tutorial that might help you is the one that I create the Quiz, that should give you an idea because I create multiple choices. Let me know if you wish, thank you! 😀
Hi Elias, This was a great tutorial, just one question, I substituted the video for a RUclips video by inserting the HTML snippet. My issue is that if you close the pop-up window the video sound track continues to play, have I missed something or is there a way to prevent this?
Paul, I believe this will need more tweaks in order to get it done. My example is a local file and what you are asking, most likely, you will have to dissect the EPUB by expanding it as a ZIP file, that will open all the HTML documents because EPUB is just all HTML. Insert the video there as RUclips using an HTML editor and then zip the folder back again. It is a tedious process but if you have time and a bit of patience it can be done. This is my personal experience with EPUBs, hope this helps, thank you! 😀👋
It;sIt's still playing half and half on the spread! When I put it on a page it's playing as one! But as soon as I make It bigger and put it on the spread! Only half the video of the left side plays!
Rivika Vakharia If you wish send me a private email and I can look into your project. You can find my credentials at the end of each video. Let me know if you wish. 😀
Can I export it in another way? If I export it as an ibook (epub) I can't share it, so is there another way to save it? Maybe HTML or as an interactive PDF?
Not really if you want all the interactivity to come with it. Every cell phone and tablet uses ePUB readers especially Apple ecosystem. For Android, Calibre, Kobo, Nook among some. 😃
Will this work if I export the InDesign doc as a interactive pdf? I'm having issues just placing a video and exporting it to an interactive pdf. There are no controllers in the pdf. Thanks!
I am afraid it will not, EPUB is what you are looking for, very powerful! Some functions are preserved on interactive PDF such as go to next or previous slide, rollover states, few, the heavy lifting is being done with when you export your work as an EPUB. 😀
Hi, thanks for this great tutorial! I have a labelled illustration, with a box below it that displays additional information when the label is clicked on. Is there anyway to make the information associated with one label automatically disappear when any other label is clicked? Thanks.
It depends what your Epub reader supports on your device, in this case Apple's Books supports all gestures and interactivity. My recommendation is to create a some interaction in your eBook and test it out. Thank you. 😃
I guess with this solution you are creating a huge file because it will include the video file in the document? Is there a way to stream youtube or vimeo file in the pop-up window instead so that anyone with a web connection could see the video?
EPUBs are basically HTML5 files, nothing really else so you can embed it inside the EPUB itself once you dissect it and package it again. It's not a straight forward approach but with some HTML knowledge, it can be done. Makes any sense? Thank you. 😀
Yes, I understand. I have now watched a few other people use RUclips videos in ePub docs. When I publish to adobe it works okay, they seem tto handle it perfectly, but when I run it off my own pc in browser it isn’t so good. I’m surprised that the adobe indesign team do not make this easier and better because it would be a great way for someone like me to make tutorial books that include video which I could sell as a product.
Thank you so much for the video, it’s incredibly detailed and helpful. I was wondering though if you wanted to export the file as an interactive PDF, is there any way to do that?
@@EliasSarantopoulos Aw.. thanks for that reply. Had one more question, if you don't mind. If I place a video and export it as interactive pdf, it gets inverted. IDK why, but do you know how to resolve it? Thanks again!!😊
@@EliasSarantopoulos Ya, I understand that it's very weird. I even tried to invert the video and then export, but then it simply stays inverted. 🙄 Yes, it is MP4
@@aazaad2479 Weird but there is always an explanation. Is your video by any chance overlaid? Is the video covered by something that looks inverted? Just wondering. Thank you!
@@EliasSarantopoulos I embedded the URL of the video and it's all fine. If I press the play button of the video, the video starts, but if I change the status, the video disappears but the sound of the video is still on. With a placed video, the video stops with the sound.
@@EliasSarantopoulos Yes I do it for Epub. That's the reason, why I have to embed the videos via URL.The Ebook size would be too big with all the videos.
