Flash Rendering/Conversion Issues on Title Cards
Hello!
I’m working on a video trailer for an event that I’m producing. The trailer consists of some video clips and title cards that have been cut to the rhythm of a song. I’m having a few issues that I would like some advice on trying to resolve.
The trailer is rendered as a .MOV Quicktime video with H.264 compression. At 100% quality, it comes out at 175 MB, which will be too large for practical use. However, I don’t want to sacrifice too much quality for the sake of file size. I want to embed it on a website without having it take too long to load. I tried rendering it in Flash, but what happens is that something goes wrong with the title cards, and the video jumps ahead, making the titles appear out of synch with how they were edited. The same thing happens if I render it in Quicktime and use my Movavi video converter to convert it to Flash. It seems to happen early in a title card sequence, but by the time I go to video clips, the video clips are back in synch. Then, when the title cards come back at the end, the same problem happens. The cards go out of sequence early and never catch up until the end.
Another issue with the Flash rendering/conversion is that Flash doesn’t seem to like the color red in title cards, because there are green splotches that appear wherever there is red on a title card.
Ideally, I would like to have the video in Flash, because it reduces the file size, but these video glitches are driving me nuts. If anyone can offer some assistance, I would be most grateful. Here are the specs of the project:
– Title cards created in Adobe Photoshop CS3 and saved as hi-res JPGs. The JPGs were used in the Adobe Premiere project.
– Trailer edited using Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.
– Quicktime .MOV conversions to Flash done with Movavi video converter.
Thanks!

Does it also happen if you play the video locally in the Adobe Flash player? Do you have a link to your test page?

Yes, it does happen if I play the Flash version straight from my hard drive with my Adobe Media Player. Here are some links to where you can see both versions.
This one is the original Quicktime .MOV version that looks like it’s supposed to. It’s 175 MB, so it may take several minutes, depending on your connection speed.

When prompted to log in, enter “wcbf” for the userid and “trailer” for the password.This one is what it looks like when it’s done in Flash. It’s 80MB.

That is very strange, nothing I have seen. Are you using a third party plugin? The only solution I can think of is exporting to uncompressed AVI, bring the file back in and them export to Flash.

I recall the original post stated the flv files were being made with a movavi converter and not via adobe products.
That would be my first port of call. Export from ppro and see the difference in quality.

I tactually does the same this when I render directly in Flash. However, I spoke to someone else, and she recommended that I use my Adobe Flash CS3 Video Encoder to convert the MOV to an FLV. That seemed to take care of the problem.
She also recommeded that I use .PNG or .TIFF files instead of .JPGs when creating title cards.
Thanks for your help, guys!
