Flash video for my web site
After several days of research I have finally arrived at the best way to show my movie trailer on my web site. I also think I know how to do it.
First, I will edit my AVI files and sound track using premier pro 1.5 and then use the new flash 8 pro plugin (the one that works in “most” NLE’s) to create a .FLV file. This is great. Except one problem. Adobe’s Flash Pro 8
won’t work with Adobe’s Premier Pro. HUH???? Adobe won’t work with Adobe.
Isn’t that why I have all adobe products? Won’t work with Sony Vegas either. Gee??? Now what?Will work with Apple Final cut pro. I don’t have an Apple.
How am I going to edit my video into a trailer and then play it as a flash video. “used on more desktops than any other player” I learned this at Adobe’s website along with all the other things it can do. Except work with my Adobe N.L.E.
Any suggestions would be helpful
thanks -

The Flash export function was introduced in version 2.0 and “Adobe won’t work with Adobe”

could after effects help you out here….? I heard that AE 7.0 can export .flv and .swf files….

Did you use Flash Video MX for help?

Sorenson Squeeze Pro has a FLV output that you can use in your Flash website… it also outputs MOV, WMV, RM. It really is a nice program. It has all sorts of presets and lets you make and save your own. I use it all the time to output large and small versions of videos and/or multiple formats of videos.
I don’t have any actual numbers to back this up, but my perception is that videos outputted from Sorenson versus PPro1.5 or AE7Pro are about 20% better looking and 20% smaller in file size. ANYONE HAVE REAL NUMBERS TO SUPPORT THIS?
Well worth the $200 or so it costs (at least what it use to cost – can’t speak for it now).

Some really great answers given here. Thanks to everyone.
I am currently experimenting with https://www.flash-on-tv.com/video-to-flash.html I tried a good quality mpeg with this demo version and it looks very nice. (Wondershare Video to Flash encoder). Seemed to simple to be good but I can’t say the results are. You can demo for 30 days with watermark and file sizes under 50 megs.
