Why Flash Video?
It Just Works (No Additional
Plug-Ins Required)
Flash Video is based on the
technology behind the Flash
Player—so it's ready to play in
almost all of PCs worldwide.
Imagine not having to worry
about the platform. Or the
format. Or whether your
customers will be able to see
your show because they will.
A Better Viewing Experience
No more massive player
installations. No lengthy
registrations forms. And no ads
attempting to up sell you to the
"premium" player. With Flash
Video, when the page loads, the
video plays. Its that simple.
This is web video, as it should
be.
Creative Control
There's nothing typical about
Flash Video. You can use a
traditional player window or
seamlessly blend the video into
the background. The options are
practically endless.
It Works the Way You Do
You can create Flash Video (FLV)
files directly from leading NLEs
and encoding applications using
a simple extension, included
with Flash Professional. So
edit, polish, then publish. |
