Flash Video Without Flash

Is there a way to create Flash video without buying Flash? Is
there video
editing software that will export to this format or a utility
that will
convert to this format?
We want to do flash video and only flash video and would
prefer not to spend
the money for the Flash software when we don't want or need
to use it for
anything else. It would make more sense to buy video editing
software that
we could use for making videos and then export to swf format.

Hello Brandon.....
I think a number of video editing software packages can
produce FLVs..
The main one I know of is Sorenson Squeeze alternatively try
looking for FLV compression, FLV Creation or FLV editing in Google.
Sothink Flash Video Encoder can also covert to FLV from avi,
wmv filel types
www.videodl.org will allow you to take YouTube and google
video and covert them to FLV.
Hope some of this helps.

Why ask in the Flash Player forum; wouldn't it be more logical to post in the Flash Media Live Encoder forum?

Flash Video With Flash Player On Password Protected Website

Hi,
I'm using the HTML widget to use the code for the JW flash player. I want it to play a flash video hosting on my iDisk.
The site this is embedded on I've checked as password protected. HOWEVER...
1) The visitor can see the site without asking for any name/password. But when they try to play the video they DO get asked for a name and password, but not the name/pass for the site. Instead the visitor is being asked for the MobileMe user name and password.
How can I fix this?

Where do you have the flash files located on your iDisk that you are linking to from within the HTML snippet?

Playing .exe flash file without flash player

Hi,
We have a .exe flash file generated from adobe captivate. If we have flash player PC,.exe will be played. If we don't have flash player on PC,it will ask for installing latest version flash player,if we give ok and click on .exe file again it will be played.But in installed program list i dont see flash player.Where is flash player installed? And is there any way to play .exe file without showing that message if we dont have flash player?
Thank you

No i dont see flash player in Add or remove programs. I don't know whether captivate .exe file have some inbuilt capacity to play itself. It is not problem. Our problem is we dont want that message for installation. Can we do installation of flash automatically and play once we click .exe file without showing any message or can we play .exe without flash?

Final Cut Pro, Flash Video Encoder & Flash Player

Well, let's get started.... I'm getting real frustrated with
Adobe. I emailed them about this problem two months ago and NEVER
got a response. This is extremely unacceptable product support. We
just purchased the Creative Suite Premium two months ago and have
never gotten Flash Video Encoder to properly encode a Quicktime
video exported from Final Cut Pro.
I have heard from a few on the Final Cut Pro forum on
Creative COW that there is a bug with this issue between Flash and
Final Cut Pro. Adobe doesn't seem to care if I report it, so that's
why I am here.
I create my program as usual, export a Quicktime file (not
reference video, but a full self-contained Quicktime). BTW, I have
Quicktime 7.2 on my Mac Pro Quad 3.0 with 8 gig of RAM. I open
Flash Video Encoder to make my flash files. Import the Quicktime
and select my settings which are custom. I set it to encode and
wait for the encoding to be done. It takes about 1 1/2 hours to
encode a 23 minute program. After the encode is finished, I check
the Flash file by opening it up. BTW, I also have installed a copy
of On2 Flix Exporter, which encodes Flash files, too. The On2 Flash
player is the only player that works. Adobe's Flash player opens
but it won't open ANY Flash files.
Has anyone seen this?

When I try to import it on FCPX it says "None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again." and even on Compressor it either doesn't play and fails to convert, or else it plays only a the audio but once I've completed the process the outputted file doesn't play anything.
Here's a screenshot at my different attempts to convert it. I managed to get the record the video on VLC, but I can't record the audio so I tried getting only the audio form Compressor as well, but like I said the outputted file doesn't play any audio even though it's as long as the video (36 mins approx.).

[solved] Get the browser playing videos without flash

Hi there,
on my favourite news site in the web (n-tv.de) there are also some videos available. Now I 'm trying to get rid of flash.
Those videos are playable with vp8, which should be available in gstreamer0.10-good-plugins. I've tried it with both Firefox and Seamonkey. But I fail to play any video there.
First I've tried it with gstreamer-1.4.5:
gst-plugins-good
gst-plugins-bad
gst-plugins-ugly
libvpx is also installed:
extra/libvpx 1.3.0-1 [installed]
The VP8 Codec SDK
la /usr/lib/libvpx.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 7. Dez 2013 /usr/lib/libvpx.so -> libvpx.so.1.3.0
Then I've tried gstreamer-0.10:
gstreamer0.10-good-plugins
gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins
But nothing. Firefox (and Seamonkey, Konquerer, …) still refuse to play any video.
When I click on a video on n-tv.de, the site presents me a file dialogue to save a m3u8 file.
Inside this file there are no urls:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=1210000
w0930DeutscheBankBilanz_1501290932-1100k.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=345000
w0930DeutscheBankBilanz_1501290932-314k.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=800000
w0930DeutscheBankBilanz_1501290932-728k.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=52000
w0930DeutscheBankBilanz_1501290932-48k.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=146000
w0930DeutscheBankBilanz_1501290932-133k.m3u8
Btw. Youtube works without problems. dailymotion.com refuses and wants to have flash installed. Firefox is version 35.0.1
How do I get that stuff played?

Got it.
Found a hint in the Arch-Wiki.
Firefox uses webkit2gtk.
pacman -Qi webkit2gtk
Optionale Abhängigkeiten: gtk2: Netscape plugin support [Installiert]
gst-plugins-base: free media decoding [Installiert]
gst-plugins-good: media decoding [Installiert]
gst-libav: nonfree media decoding [Installiert]
The last one gst-libav wasn't installed. With gst-libav it's working as wanted.

How can you watch videos without flash player?

Is there any way to watch videos on ipad that say you need flash player. I know Apple does not support Flash Player. It's really annoying.

I use Puffin, most recently, it is actually much faster than Safari, as advertised. Videos play flawlessly, also supports games, etc. And it is Free, or atleast offers a free version.
Photon is extremely popular as well, but is not a free app, and I find that it is much slower than the Puffin app honestly.
However just search the App Store as others have said, and read the reviews, you will find a bunch of apps. Reviews are generally numerous and reliable.

How to watch videos without flash player

In my office they disabled flash player so i can't watch any videos

HTML5 on YouTube only works if the video is available in a supported format and fails for MP4 file of H.264 videos.

Maybe consider Google Chrome as that comes with its own video.

how do I get html5 video instead of flash on safari for mac?
I don't have flash installed, but when I go to website page with with video which has flash or html5 video, it shows flash only...unlike if I used mobile safari it would use the html5 video.
possible?

How to watch video without Flash Player

What alternative do I have if IPad does not support Flash Player? I want to stream to my tv using apple tv but keep getting an error message that it's not supported.

Some alternate browsers in the App Store can display some Flash content. Search the App Store for those.
If the content is in your tube, use the YouTube app instead of Safari. Safe for Facebook. Use the Facebook app.

How can I display Flash Videos without any Flex application decoration

I develop a flv video player with Flex3 and have problems to
get rid of the application decoration (frame, border and the like)
that is part of a standard Flex application. My video player is
200px x 200px and I only wanna see what the video shows, so that
the Flex application allocates 200px x 200px.
It is not clear to me if this can be reached through special
tags resp. attributes or if I have to do something in the CSS
area.

copy and compile this one taken from www.theflexteam.com with
a couple of extra things, is that it?:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

How to update flash sites without flash installed

Hi,
aside from using ICE, is there a way for someone to update a flash site with pictures and text who doesn't have flsah installed on their computer? i.e., how can you add as well as replace additional text and image files without doing it in flash and publishing a swf file everytime?
Kind regards,
Steve

It depends on to what extent you mean to add new content. You can add content dynamically, but the groundwork needs to be in place in the swf for the data that defines the content to be processed as well as for placement of the content.
XML is one commonly used way of defining content. All a person needs is an ascii text editor file to change the content of an XML file, and the ability to upload that file to a server (or an interface could also be created for them to create that document online, but that's another system in itself).

Resizing flash video within flash site

http://marketing.interactmag.com/3/interactmag-Features/#2
How can the pixelation in the video on this page be stopped? I'm assuming that this is a resizing issue. But if you are creating pristine video and it gets pixelated like this, what's the point?

Text, when added in a video editing program, are usually give a font size... meaning they will look best when displayed at that particular size... 24pt... 60 pt... whatever.
One option that will sometimes provide better quality is to create the text in a .png (with transparent background) file in PhotoShop and then convert the text to a "shape". Main menu, Layer, Type, Convert to shape.
Then import that graphic into your video editing program... it will scale better than set font size text.
900kbps for a 640x360 video would provide only average quality at best. Then the quality would degrade at any scaling up because as you scale up, to maintain the same quality, you would also need to increase the video bitrate.
For review:
Video bit rate
One of the principle of goal setting is to "Begin with the end in mind". In this case it'll be very hard to give good recommendations because the end is not defined. So I'll just make a few assumptions and you can correct me as needed.
First, I'll assume that since you are converting to Flash, you want to deliver this video over the Internet. If that's true, then we'll have to make some assumptions on the Internet connection download speeds of your potential viewers. Let's just say that most have at least a 1.5Mb connection or faster.
OK, that would mean that a video bitrate of half that should usually provide a video download that is not interupped by buffering (most of the time anyway). So assuming a video bitrate of 750kbps, what would the optimum display dimensions be?
Before we decide, here's a little info about bitrate. For highest quality playback, the video bitrate is tied directly to the display dimensions. That is, the larger the display, the more incoming data is required to properly display the video. Think of bitrate in terms of a can of paint. If you have 1 quart of paint, you might be able to do a very nice job on a 32 X 24 foot area. But if you try to stretch that same amount of paint out over a 64 X 48 foot area, the coverage will not be nearly as good and you get poor results.
In the same way, a video displayed at 640 X 480 pixels will require 4 times the bitrate as a video displayed at 320 X 240 pixels to produce the same quality. So for example a video with a bitrate of 100kbps, displayed at 160 X 120 will produce the same quality results as a video with a bitrate of 1600kbps if displayed at 640 X 480.
So to boil it all down, video bitrates of 750kbps, even up to 1000kbps can usually get delivered of the Internet on most high speed connections. Higher bit rates may work for really fast connections but will cause problems for viewers with slower connections. Video display size has a direct bearing on the final quality. In the 750 to 1000kbps range, display size should be kept around 450 or 500 width max (and whatever height the aspect ratio calls for). Yes it can be displayed larger, but the quality will suffer.
Sound like your audio settings are fine, especially for Internet delivery.
As for framerate, maintain the original raw video framerate for best results. So if the video was shot at 24fps, leave it.
As for video converters, do you have the Flash 8 Video Converter? It works just fine for video to be delivered over the Internet. Remember, you are taking a Cadillac version of video (h.264 HD) and stuffing it into a Chevy body to get it to work over the Internet.
Best wishes,

Use Flash Controls without Flash

You can spend hours searching keywords concerning the use of
Flash UI controls -- including skinning via Styles -- outside of
Flex Builder. There are quite a few extensive, and helpful
postings. But I cannot find anything that helps with trying to use
those controls even outside of the context of Flash CS3.
Is there any way for those of us who cannot afford the
expensive development tools, to be able to build solutions -- just
using the SDK and the command line compilers -- that incorporate
those UI Components, or is this a purposeful product marketing
decision to only allow applications to be built incorporating those
controls if you license the IDE?

Nobody offered a suggestion though!
I have the same problem. Have chosen to disable it in YouTube because the HTML5 just won't load. It all looks good, sitting there waiting with the usual placeholder there, but when I click on it, nothing loads.

Exporting 16:9 Project to 4:3 Adobe Flash Video

Hello,
I have a 16:9 Video Project.
I'd like to export some of my sequences via the Adobe Media Encoder to Adobe Flash Video - 4:3 format.
I've tried using a Widescreen Flash Preset and then cropping the footage - however the footage must be getting distorted because the video gets a lot of lines in it when there's even a minimum amount of motion - with bitrate set to 500.
Any suggestions on how to export 16:9 project o 4:3 flash video without distorting the video? What if I want to export to 240 x 180 as opposed to 320 x 240? I'm not sure how the math really works for 16:9 to 4:3 to square pixel conversions.

Well, Chaunce, there you have it: Two differing viewpoints. Most of the output I do is for 4:3 square-pixel reduced size computer playback. Suffice it to say I have not been entirely satisfied with Premiere's handling of such a seemingly simple task.
Deinterlacing is an inherently lossy process. Even the best deinterlacers can't do it perfectly. So, I certainly cannot say that this is "lossless". Granted, scaling to such a small size as 240x180 will likely hide some of the adverse effects of poor deinterlacing.
I am also not particularly pleased with the way Premiere scales video. Large ratio scaling (like 720x480 -> 240x180) looks way too soft for my taste. Sadly Adobe does not implement better scaling algorithims (such as Lanczos) for resizing. It can really help preserve detail when downscaling video and images.
Premiere (and all the Adobe products) use approximated pixel aspect ratios. You may find that these produce slight stretching or squeezing of your footage when converted. It may not be problematic, but it is not "correct", strictly speaking.
For these reasons, I use Premiere strictly for editing and I have found alternative tools for preparing content for PC playback. I am hoping that Adobe will continue to make improvements in these areas.
