Creating Video Experiences for the Flash Platform September 12, 2008

This hands-on two day workshop covers everything you need to know about digital video for the Adobe Flash platform, starting with key pre-production considerations such as camera quality, lighting, audio, green screen shooting and format choices. We move on to the basic tools for capturing and encoding video, then move on to advanced encoding strategies that factor multiple bit rates, codec decisions and options (including the new AVC/H.264 codec support in Flash Player 9 r115), and SMIL. Then we bring the video into the Flash authoring tool and discuss custom code players and the FLVPlayback component. Finally we look at deployment issues including progressive web video and real-time streaming with Flash Media Server.
