Create Flash Video to Stream on my Website....

I believe I ought to be able to render a flash video from my Adobe Premiere CS3 or After Effects CS3 and then stream it on my website. Problem is that's as far as it gets. I haven't had any luck actually doing it. Anybody have any ideas?

Yeah, it's frustrating. I guess the YouTube and Vimeo people have been doing this for a while and they're pretty good at it!!
I gave up trying to get as good quality from Flash renders, now I just embed everything from Vimeo.
I did do a series of tests last year on YouTube to try to find the "sweet spot" of bitrate. I put up about 6 HD videos of varying CBR. There was a cutoff where any further increas in bitrate made no improvement.
You could do a similar test if you like and try to find that "sweet spot"?

Creating Flash Video

Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I am extremely new to Flash (using CS4) and want to create flash videos for display in web pages. I have used a few of the wizards and have gotten some rough, very amateurish looking results, but at least they work. I owuld now like to create a more professional looking product that has a nice looking player skin, a thumbnail preview that is typically included, and some sort of "Click to Play" button. Would someone be able to point me to a tutorial of this or walk me through the basic steps? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here are a few links that might help you

Suggested method for creating flash video?

I've searched through the forums and see that Apple seems to want to make things difficult for creating flash video for some reason. Regardless of why, does anyone have a suggestion for a simple solution to take a QuickTime movie file and convert/export it to flash video? I don't need a lot of bells and whistles, just the ability to end up with a flash file of my video. Thanks.

Thanks, but I'm really trying to find something for use on my Mac. Or perhaps I'm trying to do something that isn't even necessary... What's the recommended method for creating good-quality video from my Mac to be used on the web? Flash stuff seems to have a great quality for smaller file sizes. Is there a comparable format I could use on my Mac to get similar results which most web users could open without installing some additional software to read it?

Flash Video problem on one particular website.

I am trying to play Progressive Download video on a website.
I do this
at least 20 times a month .. no issues. This one site will
not show up and
I have redone the page approx. 20 times with no results in
any browser.
The page is in my root .. the FLV is in a folder called video
.. the script
is in the Scripts folder. The ProgressiveFLV and skin swfs
are in the main
folder.
I use an identical configuration on other sites on the same
server with no
problem. It tests perfectly in localhost. But nothing shows
up on the
server.
and YES .. I DID FTP the scripts folder. I solve this problem
for people
every day of the week .. but I can't get this site to work.
Any thoughts?

On the last attempt, it actually crashed Firefox .. anyone
know what is
going on here?
Thanks!

Creating flash video pages

Everything I read says how easy it is to insert flash video
with cs4.. just a few clicks and presto! So why cant I get it to
work? I have read tutorials until my eyes are bleeding and the best
I can get is a transparent flash
player with no content.. looks like a blank page until you
drag your mouse across it. I created a new HTML inserted the flash
video, uploaded all the files but nothing.. what am I doing wrong??
Please help.

The program you used to compress the .flv did not include the
required
Meta Data that the Flash video component requires.
If you're on Windows, you can insert the Meta Data by using
the free
program found on the following Web site. If you're not
comfortable with
the command line, download flvmdigui105.zip as well (it's a
GUI
interface to the main program).

There may be a Mac equivalent, or you might want to try a
different
encoder program.

Creating Flash video issues

I am trying to convert a .mpg to a Flash video and can get
most of the way but it's not playing on my web page. I can view
locally when I do a open with IE and it plays before I upload all
the files but once I upload all the files it will not play.
These are the steps I am taking to do this:
1. Open Macromedia Flash Professional 8
2. Select File/New/Flash Document
3. In Document Properties change Dimensions to: 354px w x
240px h
4. File/Import/ImportVideo...
5. Where is your video file? On your computer: (Browse to
file 'ff.mpg' and select Ok) then click 'Next'
6. Deployment: I select 'Progressive download from a web
server' (click Next)
7. Encoding: In dropdown I select Flash 7 - Medium Quality
(400 bps) and on right side change my slider to start where I want
it to and then click 'Next'
8. Skinning: Skin = ClearOverPlayMute.swf and click 'Next'
9. Finish Video Import: Click 'Finish'
10. Then a Save As pops up and I save to demo.fla (Flash
Video Encoding Progress shows it encode the video)
11. I can see the video in Flash 8 and view the video by
going to Control/Test Movie and works great.
In my /flash folder I have the following files: ff.mpg,
demo.fla, ff.flv, ClearOverPlayMute.swf, demo.swf
12. Open Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 and create new web page
(File/New)
13. Click on the flash icon and select demo.swf and it
creates code and upload demo.html along with all the other files
excep ff.mpg
Link is:
Page with my
code.
Does anyone have any ideas why this isn't working? Do I have
to set something on the server? A friend with MX didn't do any
encoding.
Thanks for anyone that have any thoughts.

I am also facing the same problem and I am told that you have
to configure the MIME settings on your server
& ensure that the path to the flv. is correct.
Hope this helps

Flash video not uploaded to my website

Hello
I am very new at this and i am actually learning via videos tutorials. I developed a website in flash cs3. The website was uploaded but the flash video and an external swf file is not visible on the site. These flash videos are however visible when i test the movie in flash. I uploaded into server the an html index page, the swf files to the server. My website is www.foxwildlife.com. Please help.

The most common problem with Flash working when testing but not from the server is that the pathing to some of the Flash assets (videos, xml files, etc.) is that the path to those assets is wrong, being set relative to the .swf and not the Web page, as it should be.
The second most common problem is that some of the files just were not uploaded. For example, you need to upload all the .flv video files, not just the .swf that plays them.
For review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

Creating flash video to embed on website

I am a big fan of Adobe but I have to admit that the program development far exceeds my ability to keep up and I so dearly want to be able to do one "simple" project. I want to be able to record 5-30 sec "green screen" segments on my video camera, extract them from the background, save it as DECENT QUALITY flash that can be embedded in my company website (small motorcycle dealership in Sweden) so that I can reach my customers in a better way.
I have seen a website that does this and truly want to learn it. I am willing to buy whatever software is necessary.
The website is www . livefaceonweb . com . Any suggestions? Where do I learn how to do it?

Hi,
To create a Green Screen transparent video, you need to have Flash CS5 IDE and After Effects CS5. Each and every steps to create a Green Screen transparent video, please click on the below link which will explain you step by step.

How to create a video photo stream in iPhoto?

I would really like to get the high resolution videos from my phone and iPad to my Mac. I would like them to go into iPhoto on the iMac.
Is this possible? I can't figure out how to even get a shared photo stream to show up in iPhoto on the Mac.
Further, emailing the videos is not what I want to do because the iPhone and iPad downsample the videos before mailing. I want the full-strength videos taken on the iDevice to show up on my Mac. Is this possibel using Apple methods?

Thank you!
Still, I wish Photo Stream supported full-strength photo sharing wirelessly.

Problem creating Flash video placeholder

I'm using this code to load a swf with an flv video file. The Flash movie also has a jpg placeholder that loads before the user clicks the video start button on the control panel. When the user clicks the start button, the placeholder overlay is tweened out of the picture and the video plays. This is what the code is upposed to do but it isn't loading the video. Can anyone tell me why this isn't working or what I can do to make it work? This is meant to have an image rather than a black box before the user starts a video on a web page. Thanks. Here's the code:
import fl.video.*;
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
movie1.autoPlay=false;
movie1.source="sandywoods_resident_export.flv";
movie1.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, isPlaying);
function isPlaying(e:VideoEvent): void
{ TweenLite.to(poster, 4,{alpha:0} ); }

import fl.video.*;
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
movie1.autoPlay=false;
movie1.source="sandywoods_resident_export.flv";
movie1.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, isPlaying);
function isPlaying(e:VideoEvent): void
{ TweenLite.to(poster, 4,{alpha:0} onComplete:hidePoster); }
function hidePoster(){
poster.visible=false;
or use the normal class Tween, Tween Lite is efficient and compact, but sometimes does strange things

Creating a Flash Video Slideshow

I was wondering if there was a tutorial somewhere on how to create a flash video slideshow similar to this website: http://slideshowpro.net/video/slideshowpro_for_flash#num=891929&id=album-42765 . Frankly, I don't even know if that's the correct term for it. The idea is to have one skin (Flash Player) on the site that plays videos with a list of various videos to choose from below. Furthermore, it should play it like switching channel on a TV, like on the site above, not like on YouTube or Metacafe (where a new page opens up with the video). This would be kind of like switching channels on a TV. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

How do I fix flash video stream stutter?

I have a ZBOX-ID84-PLUS-U HTPC with Integrated Intel Atom D2550 1.86 GHz Dual-Core and onboard NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M (512 MB), running windows 7 x64.
I have been fighting with this thing for weeks, but cannot get flash video to stream from sites like ufc.tv, nfl game pass. I have tried all combinations of browsers, new and old versions of flash, all recommendations I could find inother posts, including turning off GPU acceleration, reinstalling drivers, etc.
When video first loads, it runs smoothly at the highest quality setting for about 10 seconds, at which time it downgrades to the lowest (when set to 'recommended quality'). If I set the stream to maintain a level of quality, the frame rate drops off instead.
It doesn't appear to be a connection issue as I can stream from netflix (silverlight plugin), and connection speed is ~14mbps. It doesn't appear to be a connection with the streaming site, as I can playback the same content using other devices.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, before I give up and move on.
thanks.

Go to System Preferences/and you should see in Other, The flash Player
Click on it , select storage, make sure allow sites to save information is ticked/selected
Select delete all then go to the advanced tab top/Delete Browse/data & Settings
then check you have the latet version should be
Plug-in version 11.1.102.64
also see
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_man ager03.html
are both boxes at the bottom checked
(allow 3rd party flash content to store data etc checked)
If you are using Google Chrome Browser
Google chrome has adobe flash installed and it is not the latest
you should disable adobe in google chrome and just keep adobe flash running on your mac, which has the latest version
see
http://www.chromefans.org/chrome-tutorial/how-to-disable-flash-player-completely -in-google-chrome.htm
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
version 11,1,102,64 is the latest.
If you want to unistall adobe flash from your Mac then use the unistaller here

and reinstall using the Mac version
