Convert mpeg or avi to flash video for Web

Hello,
I wanted to know how can you upload a mpeg, avi, or wmw to a
website and convert it to a flash video file? What software is
involved? What is the easiest method for doing this? Is there a tut
out there or a book that details this method?
Thanks,

hi, for your situation, you would expect a video converter software, to convert avi or mpeg to flash video (.flv) for web. You probably know that there are plenty of free video converter out online. like Sothink Free Video Converter which I used for while, and I am sure it supports FLV video conversion. you could have a try.

How to play flash video for 40 secs and then display webpage automatically?

I have made a webpage, i want to show a flash video for 40 seconds when the page is opened. Then the Flash video should dissapear and the web page shall open. How should i do this?

Hi
This would require the use of actionscript placed inside the flash video, which would then redirect to the main site after the required time.
(to find out how to do this you would be better advised in the flash forum - http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash/flash_general).

Getting videos for web viewing right

Using Xserver on Quad Mac G5 and QTSS. I would like to stream videos like the one in Apples live events. Quite impressive. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/mwsf08/
Using FCP pro 5.1.4 compressor 2.3 and selecting QT 7 for download. Using this on a web site produces less than desirable results. Usually blurry video or I get the "Q" in the movie template of iWeb and have to wait some time for it to download to start playing.
What are the tools used to create the high quality videos in these live events?

I'm tagging this one also.. I'm a new convert to the Mac (one more sleep until Mac Pro deliery!!). I normally do 10 megs for 2 minutes of 640X480 WMV video for web delivery and thought that was good when editing on the PC.. until I started to see some of these tech tutorials also.. and yeah.. crisp! But more importantly, is that thought the 100% viewing size might be on the smaller size, there isn't a lot of visual quality loss when expanding the view to 200% or more.. Now THAT was impressive..
I want to learn all of this.. =) So much stuff, so little time.. sigh

Exporting HD video for web

What settings should I use to compress a HD video for web?

It depends a lot on what level of broadband you expect the user to have, and whether the video has to play immediately. There are some natural sizes to use for the video, such as 1280x720, 960x540 or 640x360, and the frame rate ought to be 24, 25, or 30, depending on the source material.
Making it for medium to good broadband, and with wanting the video to play right away, you could do say 1280x720, 1 megabit per second, H264. It would look reasonably good. If you don't mind people having to download for a little while before the video can play, then take the data rate up to 3 mbps.
So, one way to look at that would be to use the AppleTV preset from QuickTime Player, then open that mp4 file and save as to mov (just to make your html task easier). It would look very good, but might take a bit of downloading time before it's ready to start playing.

Adobe Flash Islands for Web Dynpro ABAP Data Binding problem

I have downloaded the NetWeaver 7.1 Trial (includes Adobe Flash Islands for Web Dynpro ABAP). I try to create a very simple FlashIslands component running within the Web Dynpro Application, everything looks good. However, all binding to the Flex component is not working. Does anyone know why?
Since it's trial version, I login as BCUSER into NSP system. When I load up the build-in sample, such as Chart Demo, the binding to Flex seems working. I suspect if it has anything to do with package? I could only create my Web Dynpro under the $TMP package, as all the build-in sample are defined in SWDP_DEMO.
Please help.
Alan

hi,
Check out this link. It will give you an idea how to integrate Aobe island comp with web dynpro.

Premiere elements 2.0 how to convert mpeg to avi PLEASE HELP

Here is my problem, I am putting together a hi light video for my sons football seasons. Most of the seasons I have videotaped myself. When I capture the video in Elements it creates several avi files that I can pick and choose from, each file is created from when I pause during recording. I have one seasons worth of videos where I was not the one taping. I have dvd discs that the guy taping gave me. I can put the dvd file into elements and even put it in the time line but it shows up as one long clip....not segmented. It is also an mpeg file. I can use the razor tool to segment it in spots but have no way to convert the file within elements. When I save the project it still stays as one continuous mpeg file in my adobe folder regardless of whether or not I segment it with the razor tool. Oh, and if I haven't made it clear yet I am an Elements idiot. How can I get the files off the dvd to use in the manner in which I need to use them????? Do I have to use a seperate program to make them avi files?????

If you want to subdivide a file on the timeline in APE 2: (1) Move the Work Area markers on the timeline to include just the portion you wish to export as a separate file. (2) Go to File, Export, Movie (3) In the Settings Window of the Movie Export dialog select: Range, "Work Area Bar" (4) Save the file with the desired name. Repeat as desired to create separate segment video files for each segment you wish to work with separately. When you are all done creating the segment video files, start a new project and assemble the files as desired.

Converting mpegs to a reasonable size file for final cut pro

I've been using mpeg streamclip and converting mpeg files so that I can edit them in Final Cut, but after the conversion the files are double, sometimes tripled the size they used to be. a 15 minute mpeg, once converted into quicktime format is just about 3gigs. i have some clips that are almost 3 hours, once converted, they will be way too hard to work with and burn onto dvd. i've tried multiple exports through streamclip trying to figure which would be the fastest, and be the smallest in size. if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. these segments need to be edited for a job I'm working on, so they need to be done soon. thanks

If you're using DV as the format you edit with, it will take a gig for every 4.7 minutes of video... there's no way around this... Photo JPEG would likely be as large and look much the same most likely.
Quite frankly, any lower data rate resulting in smaller files will probably look pretty bad...
Hey, hard drives are cheaper than they used to be, and subclipping long clips sure makes them more manageable editorially...

Video for Web in the Flash '.flv' format

I produce alot of content for the web...I usually work in Premiere Pro 2 >>Export to an .avi (DV NTSC) format then open in Flash Video Encoder and output using the ON2P codec >>Upload to web server for streaming
Done
Lately I have been on tour and I have the MacBook Pro 17 with Final Cut Studio and the Flash Video Encoder as my NLE system/workflow...
The problem is that the encoded video has gliches and lines in it! I dunno why
I have tried re encoding at least 4 diff times but each time its the same result...
The difference can be seen by looking at the video encoded using the premiere pro 2 system at http://www.videovaulttv.com
And the video using the Final Cut Studio system at http://www.youngmoneyent.com/av.html
Any ideas on what I can do?

Capture into FCP 5.1.2
Export - QT movie (Self Contained)
Import - Flash Video Encoder 8
Export - On2P / 500k / Audio 64k / 15 fps / 364 x
(constrained setting chooses)
import into dreamweaver, preview,
crappy file is played
OK, I don't see anything wrong with those settings, they are similiar to what I use. What are your sequence setting in FCP? Does the video look good there?
You may want to try a different encoder, I know that Sorenson has a trial, and see if it works.

Adobe reader is not letting flash videos for android at this time what am i going to use with my android phone now?

i went to Adobe Reader to download flash player for my Android phone and they are nolonger supporting android phones . what can i do? so that i can watch my email videos?

Some people have suggested installing the last version of the Flash plugin that worked, but due to lots of security bugs in older versions of the Flash player, this is hard to recommend.
Could I suggest asking on a forum specific to your Android device? You can find those on many sites now, but the one I generally visit is [http://forums.androidcentral.com/ Android Central].

SD 16:9 video for web? How to have widescreen SD video but not in DV format

I make videos that are intended for web using final cut express. But, my camera shoots in standard definition, and in wide screen. I try the anamorphic codecs, but here is the problem....I don't want to edit in the DV format!!! So, every time i try to render something (like text), it becomes distorted and low-quality because it renders to DV. I assume i'm supposed to use the HD codecs but as i said before, my camera isn't HD. So, what do i do? is there an extension or something i can add on? I really appreciate the help. (my camera is a canon FS200 that shoots to flash memory)

I just Googled the specs and it appears this camera shoots SD Mpeg2 at a low data rate.
I'm surprised it's working at all.
Try a test clip using Streamclip>Export to Quicktime to convert the footage to the specs of an an FCE Easy Setup. It might as well be an Anamorphic DV choice.
The converted clip with titles should hold up OK normally.

Creating video for web

Hi,
I'm currently putting together some videos in FCP for our new website. I've used FCP a lot for creating video for DVD's and exporting to .mov but converting to flash is relatively new to me.
I am using the On2 Flix FLV exporter to export direct from FCP to a 704 x 396 flv file.
Can someone clarify how I should set up my sequence in FCP to get the best quality results? All the source material is DV PAL for video (720 x 576 anamorphic) and PNG-24 for still images (in this case a background which I will input text over in FCP). Should I be setting all my sequences to 704 x 396, and what pixel aspect ratio should I use seeing as it is for flash/web use?
Also, in the Sequence Settings dialog box what should I set as the Compressor settings (dv pal/h.264 etc) as flv does not appear as an option?
Thanks
Jack

Thanks guys. So if I am to carry on working in the standard DV-Pal sequence I'm wondering what to do when importing graphics. I have been given a psd which contains a title screen that will be placed before each video. The psd has been given to me at 704 x 396 - the size of the final delivered FLV rather than the DV Pal sequence. When I bring this image into FCP and render it makes the image look pixelated/blocky (I'm exporting from Photoshop as a PNG-24). What is the proper way to export graphics for use in Final Cut? Should I re-size the image to match the sequence or bring it in at 704x396 and have Final Cut resize it?
Thanks
Jack

Compressing video for web

My friend from Australia is trying to convert a trailer for web streaming but is having troubles with the format. We filmed the videos in Nashville and then he edited the trailer in Australia but every time he sends me a copy it's pixelated... Any suggestions on what settings he should be using on the compressor?
Thanks,
Sheyla

Quality is directly related to "bandwidth" (Data Rate). How much you need is directly dependent on video size. You can usually get very good quality with 8Mbps (8000 Kbps) for 1080/30p. Exceptional quality would be in the 20Mbps + range (FCPX exports H.264 at 40+ Mbps and some higher end DSLRs and video cameras produce H.264 in that range as well.) For 720p, you can reduce that bandwidth down to about 5-6Mbps; 480p down to about 1.2Mbps. If you have high contrast fast moving scenes, you will need more bandwidth in order to avoid jpeg artifacts (blocky images.)
If you're posting videos on a "service" like YouTube or Vimeo, you should investigate their encoding specifications. For instance, a couple years ago, the maximum bandwidth supported by YouTube for 1080 video (doesn't matter the frame rate or interlaced/progressive -- just the maximum they allowed) was 5Mbps. They increased that to 8Mbps. The trick with these services is: if you encode the video with HIGHER bandwidth than they allow, they will encode that video again downwards to the limit. You never, ever want this condition to happen. There are other encoding options that should be adhered to as well:
Key Frames: Automatic
Frame Reordering: OFF!
Optimized for Streaming (makes a difference!)
Encoding: Best Quality (always use multi-pass)
(if you use these options, then you can set the Data Rate to 9400 kbits/sec -- it will almost always come under the 8Mbps limit)
Sound: MPEG-4 AAC Low Delay 48KHz bitrate 128 - 320 kbps
Check: Prepare for Internet Streaming and select Fast Start
YouTube will leave your upload alone

Flash video on web page takes long very time to load before it starts playback

I just created a basic flash file to play a video on my web page and it's taking several minutes to load before it starts playback.
I'm using progressive downlaod and the file is in *.mov format and is 84MB in size. At first that seemed large to me for web play back, but I thought it could handle it since I thought the way progressive download works is that it would start playing the first frame right away and progressively play other frames as they download. However, this seems to be downloading the whole file first (or a major part of it) before starting any playback at all.
Is there some kind of setting I'm missing or is my understanding of the download incorrect and the file size is too large?
Some vitals:
- I'm using Flash Pro CS5
- To create my flash file, I used the standard import video wizard and selected the a file that is "on my computer" and "load external video with playback component" and then, I selected one of the standard skins.
- To deploy the vidoe on my webiste I have three files:
1) swf file containing the FLV component
2) the swf file related to skin
3) the actual video (84MB, mov file)
- Web page includes/embeds reference to swf file

Thanks for your response again. Looks like things have changed a bit to complicate this a little more.

Are you saying that if I wait long enough it will start to play .... from the link you posted?
What you are implying here is correct. The file won't play no matter how long you wait. Looks like it's because of the "source" file settings in the Import Wizard may now be incorrrect. This is why it's not playing in the new file.
When I created my original Flash Video using a MOV file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "Already deployed to a web server...". Here I entered the url to where the video file is located on my production server.
When I created the new Flash Video using F4V file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "On your computer". Here I selected the file from my local drive.
Sorry for not pointing out the inconsistency earlier - I didn't think it mattered and plus I couldn't get the F4V file to import from the web server.
Anyway, I've changed my object tag using the acutal published html that flash generates and have uploaded all source files to same location.
http://www.upperhand.com/tv/video-intro.html
To sum up the problem(s) I need help with:
Issue #1 - When trying to import F4V file using import wizard, I cannot use "Already deployed to a web server..." as an option for the file location. I believe this is creating issue #2
Issue #2 - For some reason, the F4V file will not load into the SWF file when it's published to my production server.
It works when viewing locally through browser as c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mywebsite\video-intro.html
It doesn't work when viewing on development server through browser as http://localhost/mywebsite/video-intro.html
It doesn't work when viewing on production server through browser as http://www.mywebsite.com/video-intro.html
Issue #3 - When the above are resolved, I'm not certain if my orignal question/issue will be resolved... browser tries to downlaod full file before any playback.

Classes or Books on Video For Web

Hello my fellow FMS community!
Does anyone know of some good classes to attend or books to read on delivering video to the web? Also, some classes strictly geared toward the FMS would be awesome too. I've been using FMS since v1 (I believe it was called Communication Server back then) was released and Flash/Actionscript also for a few years now, but it seems there is still so much to learn about this process. The more I read and learn the more I realize I need to be a video producer, programmer, network engineer, and server engineer all wrapped up into one. Even though I've been doing this for a few year I still see other companies out there delivering better vids that don't hiccup at all. It seems like there are some secrets to the whole process that aren't being shared or something I'm missing. At the company I work for we have people who shoot the video primarily for television. After they do their magic a high res QuickTime video is handed to me where I encode it again at different bitrates/setting that I put on the FMS and develop the web interface for the video.
It would just be nice to talk to an expert in the whole process. When I search the web there seems to be a fine line where the knowledge ends but I think the knowledge beyond that point is what makes other people’s video campaigns go from normal to excellent. Also, there's not a whole lot of stuff out there for the FMS. Maybe because it's a little expensive. I want to be able to take my vid campaigns go from normal to excellent too! The one class I’ve been to strictly for web video was in Atlanta, GA where we used this book, Video with Adobe Flash CS4 Professional by Robert Reinhardt. It was really good and I learned a lot even after doing this stuff for at least 3 years, but it provided very little info on FMS. In the end I just realized how much more I didn’t know.
Any direction on higher education would be great.
Thanks!
Eric

Wow, thanks Graeme! These are some great recourses. I've actually used FMSGuru.com for a few things and I'm very appreciative of your work. Thanks again!
