1. I have recorded some video screenshots with Snag-It.
2. Snag-It exported the screenshot as a quicktime movie(I have the trial version of Snag-It). Which worked great.
3. I used Macromedia 8 video encoder to create a .flv.
4. I then imported the .flv into Flash 8 and exported a .swf file.
I went from a 15,000 kb quicktime movie down to a 90 kb flash movie.
However I have a problem. The end result is not the entire screen shot. Somewhere it stoped displaying the entire screenshot (which was 1012x728) It is fine in quicktime, looks like it is suppose to.
I tried bringing in the quicktime movie directly into Flash 8. And resetting the size on the property toolbar. I was thinking that the encoder software was useful for a batch, but not necessary. It would act like it was working fine but at the very end would tell me it couldn't find the .flv file.
I used a slide presentation template in flash to bring the quicktime movie into. I tried the help in Flash but it told me there was suppose to be a video presentation template I could begin with, but I could not find that template anywhere.
If any of you could offer some suggestions it would be much appreciated.
I feel so....ignored....
;-)
in your .fla file, open the timeline window. You will then see two dimensions fields. Enter the correct dimensions to resize the canvas and then center your movie.
Tip 1: make the canvas a little bigger and match the background color to the background of your web page in the parameters window.
Tip 2: Position the movie higher up to display your controls correctly.
Good luck!
