How to make exported Flash files as small as possible?
I am producing some Web Presenter videos, and they are going to be embedded onto a website.
This is my current workflow:
.Import video and then Key it in Adobe Ultra
.Import keyed footage into After Effects to allow me to set pixel dimensions for composition
.Render as flash file
Currently, I am rendering them as .Flv (web small) in the settings, but the files are coming out at 8-12mb, and the video is only 60 seconds long. I have seen some guys get flash videos of this length down to 3mb.
My question, am I rendering under the most sensible settings, or is there something better I should be doing? I need to keep the files small, but without losing much quality.
Here is an example of a recent Web Presenter I did: http://www.ukpostbox.com
I did the filming and presentation, and a friend (who has since died) did the editing. It will give you an example of the effect I'm looking for. Also, is the 'start' button something I can add myself, or is that normally done by the web designers at the clients end?
You might need to explain everything in simple terms to me as I am very new to After Effects, and this type of editing system.
Thanks,
James.
You may also have to edit the export settings.
When you export to flv with the preconfiguration "web small" you shall dig in it and adjust the data rate (lower it until you get the quality you want).
Sadly, encoding isn't a skill that have a long curve of learning, and relying on pressets is just the first step (and encoding much depends on what is in the frame, so it's a science by itself as soon as you want more control on your outputs). Also, AE is a compositing system, not an encoding software, so if you have the Production Premium, Master Coolection or Premiere, you should definitly want to export your project from the Adobe Media Encoder.
One of the most important step in downsizing the size of your video while keeping quality is to do "dual pass" encoding, and AE can't do that.
The great thing is that you can import an AE composition right inside AME, so you don't need to do a temp encoding.

How do I make a photo file size smaller? The photo is .jpg.
I need to make a photo file size smaller for some other uses.
imac Mac OS X (10.4.8) iphoto 5.0.4Haha yes i forgot that you may not be using Apples Mail. Lets try the export then file>export, then under the heading "format" click JPG. Then click "scale images no larger then:" in the width field type "800" then the height field should change by itself. Thats what i do for emailing, it's usually the best trade between quality & size, that should be small enough to email. Best wishes JAG
P.S. when you first click "scale images no larger then" what's already in the width height fields? thats your actual photo resolution. -
How can I make the pdf file size smaller?
How can I make the pdf file size smaller?
Hi vickyb,
Reducing the file size of PDF requires Acrobat (one way is by choosing File > Save As > Reduced Size PDF). If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
Best,

How to make a PDF file short ( with less memory)?
How to make a PDF file short ( with less memory)?
@nalinss
There are two ways: "Save as.." usually optimises size, but there is also "Optimize PDF" in the menu with many options what to exclude and to reduce in quality. Be careful here, as pictures can become very bad.
A note: the size of a PDF vastly depends on from what source it is created. For example, if you draw some vector graphics in Visio and print to Adobe Printer, the resulting PDF is usually quite small in file size. Opening it in Illustrator and saving it again after you, let's say, just moved one line, can make it 10x as big. This is due to big overhead, Illustrator creates and this can not be reduced anymore in Acrobat later on. Sometimes it helps to convert or "save as" such an inflated PDF to a different format like EPS or HTML and print or convert again to PDF.
So, if you created the PDF yourself and you still have the source, you may adjust settings in the export/print dialog to make it smaller. -
How to make a Flash site more searchable
Hi all,
I was wondering how to make a Flash site more searchable in
search engines. I'm guessing it is with meta tags, can anyone tell
me which meta tags or if there are any other hints or tricks.
Thanks,
MediaMan5335Sad to say MediaMan5335, there's no real defined way to read
a Flash movie file. Currently there are tips and tricks to do it,
but all of them are merely patches to somethin long overdue and
needed. Since Google is setting the trend, the best way to gain
ranking is to follow their set of new rules.
There were several ways to gain rankings, whether is be
paying your way to the top, putting multiple links within your
site, or placing tons of words that would be read by spiders.
Google has multiple articles pertaining to Search Engine
Optizmization or SEO. Head on over to Google and just type in
"Google SEO" and you'll find a multitude of articles.
Right now to answer your question, META KEYWORDS and META
DESCRIPTION are your best tools for METAs. Having legit links
INBOUND and OUTBOUND will help.
Currently there a several companies working on allowing SWFs
to be read by Search Engines. Hopefully this helps answer your
question. SEO can be a daunting thing. -
I remember that I read somewhere about how to make a .sda file

Hi all,
I have a flash file, which I took from my website and want to
modify some of the contents and links in the flash file. I
installed "Macromedia Flash 8" and open the flash file; after
opening all I can see in the menu bar of my flash is "File, View,
Debug and Control" and could not find any control or tool to edit
the file and surprisingly rest of the other macromedia toolbar
icons are disabled. I need to know from where to start - How to
modify my flash file.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I do not know what files you have, 'fraid I cannot answer

My Friend
I think you need to check out some of the books, online
tutorials, course etc pertaining to Flash. Build up your knowledge
a little at a time and you will surprise yourself at what you can
achieve, you would also probaby build your own web apps and not
rely on templates.
There are many good folk on here that would help you with
your projects - go out and explore it - it's exciting - good luck -

How to make adobe flash player content on websites run on safari browser of my ipad?
How to make adobe flash player content on websites run on safari browser of my ipad?do I have to install adobe flash player on my ipad ?
The flash add-on is not available for Safari on iOS. Never has been and in fact Adobe has ceased support for flash for mobile devices in general. Your options, depending on the specific sites:
See if the site or sites in question have their own apps availabel in teh app store
Look into some browsers such as Puffin adn iSwifter (there are others, I beleive). These browsers use a third server site to translate the flsh content into a form that the iPAd can use and restreams them to you. They may not work with all content.
Use a computer capable of running flash.
Seek a source of the conent that is designed for non flash use. -
How do I export video files from iPhoto to a backup external hard drive for safekeeping?
How do I export video files from iPhoto to a backup external hard drive for safekeeping? Each time I try, the video will not play from the external hard drive.
Use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original. That should get the original video file exported. Try to export one to the Desktop first and open it with Quicktime Player. If all goes well export the rest to a folder on the EHD. How is the EHD formatted? It should be OS X Extended (journaled).
