Suggestions for converting movies to flv/flash?

Can anyone recommend a software to convert .mov and mp4 videos to flash? I have adobe video encoder cs4 which people swear by from articles I read, however I do not see where I can add a player nor add a thumbnail for the first frame.
I need something that will produce high quality videos and give me the option to select the thumbnail shot and player selection while not being overly expensive.
Thanks

It feels like you are mixing several unrelated objectives hoping that there is a single solution.
1. Video encoders like the one that comes with Flash do just that - encode videos into a format that can be read by Flash player (NetStream class).
2. In order to edit video you need a video editing software (iMovie, Final Cut, etc.) - these programs have nothing to do with Flash.
3. Video CANNOT be converted to Flash code.
4. Thumbnails: you need to write an ActionScript code to display thumbnails.

  • Convert .mov(h264) to flash(.flv)

    I encoded my imovie files using Quicktime Pro I am really happy with the quality of the h264 encoder. However I have been asked to embed a flash version of a video for a blog. Can anyone recommend a mov to flv converter that is of reasonable quality.
    Thanks
    Mike

    Jess, I think it only downloads .flv (automatically). You could, however, open .flv file in Quicktime with a plugin which I forgot. Might be DivX. When in QUicktime Pro, look under for QUicktime in System Preferences. Then look for an update tab. Click on something about "3rd Party"
    Just download those items. It should work. Maybe someone out here knows exactly.

  • Converting movie to .FLV for internet?

    I'm making much progress developing movies in Imovie, but now I want to try and post them to our Web site.
    We have set up an .FTP site, but need to convert the movie to .FLV to post it.
    Can I do this with Imovie, or do I need to purchase a Sorensen Squeeze-type product.
    Thanks,
    John

    for creating FlashVideo, you need 3rd party tools, your options are...:
    Adobe's Flash, the Original, 699$
    Video2swf, shareware, 45$
    ... probably, there are other tools allowing the conversion of dv/mov to flv... search the usual suspects as versiontracker.com et al....
    helpful?

  • Converting Mov to FLV audio loss

    Hi all,
    This might be something someone could help me think. The problem I seem to be encountering is a loss of audio in the later quarter of videos converted into an flv from a quicktime mov (PAL 1024kbps / 29fps / 500x280), this typically happens on a file durration of upto 2 or 3mins. It doesnt happen when converting from a wmv, (also trying an AVI) although the outputed quality tends to be a lot less clearer using some of these other formats. Interestingly, when previewing the MOV in a quicktime player theres no signs that this will happen / no loss of audio / no blips in the frames around the later of the vid. Both the On2 VP6 or Sorrenson Spark cunjor the same fault.
    I would love to here someones take on this
    Many thanks
    Matt

    Welcome to the forums.
    (PAL 1024kbps / 29fps / 500x280)
    That's weird, PAL is 25fps 720x576.
    converted into an flv from a quicktime mov
    What did you use to convert? Perhaps try a different converter?
    Cheers

  • Suggestions for spy movie LiveType settings

    I am making a spy movie for the Toronto Student Film Festival and I want suggestions for good title settings for a spy movie using LiveType. The LiveType I am using is the one that comes with FCE4 not any of the previous versions.
    Also, I have heard that the earlier LiveType is better than this one. Is there a website where I can "downgrade" for free?
    P.S. The title of the movie is "Jr" as in Junior
    P.P.S. It can be all lowercase, all uppercase or as above

    'Police Squad'/Leslie Nielsen
    'se7en'/Bratt Pitt
    'Sin City'/Bruce Willis
    ... comes to my mind on 'spy movie' - very different in tone, uhm?
    and you think, LT offers a preset, which impresses on a Festival?
    I dare to say, you should create your own ...-

  • Convert .mov to .flv

    Can QuickTime Pro convert a .mov file to .flv?
    If not, can you recommend a program (hopefully an Apple one) that can do this successfully.
    I have tried a bunch of them, Reva, Wondershare, etc. and have been disappointed in the translation.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Can QuickTime Pro convert a .mov file to .flv?
    No. It can't.
    The best products for creating Flash video comes from Adobe (new owners of Macromedia).

  • Converting .mov to .flv

    I recently converted a .mov file to a flv. When I upload the
    original .mov to the flv converter, the compress audio box is
    grayed-out. The original mov has audio, but when I covert the mov,
    the new flv file does not have it. How do I get the audio to
    compress with the flv?

    You might have a muxed Mov file. Try the free
    www.mediaconvert.com and see if it works.
    You can also download MPEG Streamclip for free and that baby
    converts a ton of ways.

    DVD Video discs are always standard definition -- 720x480 on NTSC or 720x576 on PAL, otherwise they don't conform to the strict DVD Video specification and won't play in a DVD player.
    If you want HD, you have to make a Blu-Ray disc. You need specialized software for that such as Toast 11 Titanium or Adobe Encore (part of the CS5 or CS6 collection, not sold separately) and a Blu-Ray burner. Of course, you will also need a Blu-Ray player connected to your HD TV.

  • No sound for converted movies

    My Ipad plays movies I bought from Itunes fine, but the ones I have converted dont have any sound. It seems like they worked fine until I updated it. Any suggestions?

    What do you mean by you "updated it" - what, the iPad, the movies?  What did you use to convert your movies to play on the iPad?

  • In the new iTunes you no longer have the 'create iPod version' or 'create Apple TV version,' for converting movies. Will this feature return..?

    After installing the new itunes, I inserted some video files, and wanted to create a version for my iPod classic. Before, I could just click on the video and then select 'create iPod version' from the menu. It would then convert the file. However, this feature no longer exist. Is there another way I can easily convert my files?

  • Software for converting powerpoint to flash on Mac OS X ?

    Dear All
    Does anybody know if there is any software available for converting powerpoint presentations into flash format so that they can then be uploaded onto websites? I have seen (for windows, unfortunately) a program callled ARTICULATE PRESENTER (www.articulate.com) which is fantastic for doing this, but only the end product can be viewed with Mac rather than being able to be created with Mac.
    I want to create self-study type lessons for students, in which I can record a narration at the same time that the powerpoint slides are showing their illustrations. (This is what ARTICULATE does). And that these can then be available via the internet.
    Has anyone any ideas or experience with this using Mac?
    Many thanks and hope to hear from many of you soon!

    Actually, there is a program that will do this, and a lot more. It's called Keynote. You can import your PowerPoint files, then you can trash PowerPoint, because you'll find Keynote does everything PowerPoint does better, and it does a lot more. Including exporting your presentations in Flash, PDF, QuickTime, or back to PowerPoint, if you must.

  • Mov to flv

    I want to upload a home video to a site that only accepts .flv. My movies are .mov.
    Is there any conversion program that will convert .mov to .flv?

    Happens that I came looking for an answer to the same question. Saw the "export as H264" idea. Tried it. It wouldn't play in the program to which I uploaded it. Maybe it has to do with the "Flash 9" issue mentioned -- dunno.
    I am aware of "free" sites where the conversions can be done and I have used them. But I am now looking to do quite a bit of these conversions and I am looking to download a good converter. Looking (obviously) for best price and quality of product.
    FYI the free sites:
