Adobe Flash CS4: Converting QuickTime Movie into Flash H.264: Part 1 – Introduction

In this short video tutorial series, we will use Adobe Media Encoder CS4 and Adobe Flash (Professional) CS4 to convert a QuickTime movie into a Flash video. Actually, we showed how to do it more than two years ago. This time, we are going to compress a video stream not with On2 VP6 or Sorenson Spark but with H.264. Doing so requires that you use Adobe Media Encoder. We intend to produce at least three video tutorials in this series.

The goal of this video tutorial series is to convert a QuickTime movie that we created a week ago into the following Flash video.

You may run into broken links, the QuickTime question mark or blank pages when accessing video tutorials, game play movies and others. We will work on the rest of the ScreenFlow video tutorials after finishing a fix. We apologize for your inconvenience.

Video Tutorial: Making Desktop Video with ScreenFlow – 02: Defining Work Area

We went over some features of ScreenFlow in the first video tutorial, which we introduced a few days ago. We are ready to capture some desktop action. Actually, we want to utilize only 1,200 x 900 pixels of desktop from the top right corner. So let’s define our work area so that we can tell where it is and where it is not while recording a desktop movie. We will use Adobe Fireworks CS3 to edit a graphic file. It is not necessary that you use Fireworks CS3. You can use any graphic editing application of your choice.   Continue reading →
