EXAMPLE FLASH VIDEOS
- Links to selected examples (when not client confidential) will appear on our page linked in the title
- These need Flash installed (8 or above) to play. Typically, Flash is on almost all PCs and Macs already. If not, it’s a free and quick download / upgrade from Adobe
- These videos are mostly encoded with the On2 VP6 Flash 8 Codec (2-pass) to ensure the highest Flash quality possible for any given bit rate and Flash player size
- Unfortunately, Flash does not handle motion perfectly. However, as it’s highly efficient it’s become the most widely used computer viewing video format on the web. We can easily encode completed videos to MPEG-4, H.264, WMV, QT or MPEG-2 (for normal DVD) as required
- A few different Flash player sizes and bit rates are demonstrated to give you an idea of some of the options available and how they affect the typical speed of loading and impact on the screen
- You will benefit from a broadband connection to view all the examples!
- Note, in some instances, corporate firewalls are set up to block video content so you may need to speak to your system administrator.
