FLV(Flash Video) is a video format which is perfectly supported by Flash Professional 8. This flash maker successfully solved the problem of the huge size of output SWF file that may not be played on Internet after inputting video file to flash. Lets have a look below on how to make delicate FLV files:
1. How to make FLV files?
Step 1: Open Flash Professional 8 and establish a new flash docment.
Step 2: Input AVI video files(this is the common video format that is frequently used by your DC or DV) that you want to convert to FLV and follow the instructions.
Step 3: Keep the default setting for Edit and Encode, click Import video and
then Next step and Finish at last to complete the inputting process.
Note: If you dont have Directshow 9 and QuickTime 6.5 or higher installed in your system, a pop-up window will remind you to do so in order to import AVI successfully. Or, if you want a much easier way to do it, try Moyea Video4Web Converter, its free and just a few clicks can complete the conversion from AVI to FLV.
Step 4: Press Ctrl+L to open the data base, double click the AVI file just input, open Embed video property interface, click Output to create a FLV file.
Above 4 steps lead you to convert AVI to FLV successfully and after conversion, you will surprisingly find the final size of FLV is just 541KB, much smaller than the original 23MB AVI. Now you can use it freely on Internet.
2. How to use FLV files?
Step 1: Establish a new flash document, press Ctrl+F7 to open the Components window, drag MediaPlayback to the stage from Media-Player 6-7.
Step 2: Select MediaPlayback, press Alt+F7 to open Component Inspector interface:
Some meanings of parameters in Component Inspector:
File Type: choose FLV as the defined file type, you can also choose to play MP3 file.
URL: specify the path of FLV files, because we put FLV files and Flash files in the same catalog, we only have to specify a file name here.
Control Placement: set the location of play panel.
Control Visibility: set the visibility of play panel.
Step 3: After settings, press Ctrl+Enter to test the performance.
