The first thing you have to understand about the use of video in Flash® is the original video must be converted to a format Flash can read. This format is FLV (Flash Video) and you can either use Flash, the Flash Video Encoder, or third-party software to create the FLV file. If you use video-editing software such as Adobe® After Effects®, you can also export the file as a FLV file. If you are a Dreamweaver® user, the current version of Dreamweaver—Dreamweaver 8—contains a feature that allows you to add an FLV at the click of a button.
The purpose of the Encoder, therefore, is to convert the video file to the FLV format. When you installed Flash Professional 8, the Flash Video Encoder application was also installed on your machine. If you also have QuickTime, Adobe After Effects, Avid Studio, or Final Cut Pro installed on your machine, they, too, were given the capability to use the Encoder when it was installed.
If you will be converting a video to the FLV format, the video must be in one of these formats:
- AVI – Audio Video Interleave
- strong>MOV – QuickTime 4 or later
- MPEG – Motion Picture Experts Group
- DV – Digital video, the format used by most commercial camcorders
- WMF/ASF – Windows Media
