Flash Video
Video and the Internet are ideally matched; video is the medium that most closely reflects our day-to-day visual experiences, and the Internet is a boundless playground filled with interesting content. Recent bandwidth improvements together with the improved video capabilities of Flash Professional 8 has now made it possible for web designers to use video content to its full potential. Flash now has more video importing and compression options, alpha channel video support, can trim and edit video clips, apply color correction, and now ships with a new stand-alone video encoding tool. If you are interested in joining this revolution to create your own cutting edge, interactive, and media-rich Flash video applications, this series of movies has been produced with you in mind. VTC author, James Gonzalez, is here to provide all the information youâll need to create and publish your own Flash Video projects and enter this new era of abundant and accessible web delivered video. Work files also accompany the tutorial. To begin learning today, simply click on one of the Flash Video links.
