  2. Objectives • Examine websites that incorporate Flash video. • Incorporate video in a Flash document for use on a website. • Identify challenges with using video on the web and the ways in which Flash video addresses these challenges and improves user experience.

  3. Brainstorm • What different kinds of video have you seen on the web? • What type of video players do these sites use? • Examples: • Video trailers of upcoming movies (QuickTime) • Music videos (RealPlayer) • Entertainment videos (Windows Media Player) • Tutorials(Flash video in Flash Player)

  5. Challenges of Incorporating Video on a Website • Bandwidth limitations: • Video files are generally quite large, requiring megabytes of data to display even short video clips. • Complex video authoring for the web: • No standard tool sets exist for creating interactivity, navigation control, and fusion of video with other rich media content. • Time-consuming player downloads: • Most video playback requires site visitors to download a plug-in or application to view a video. • Lack of compelling integration of video and other web content: • Most video formats restrict playback of video to a separate generic window, interrupting the user experience.

  6. How Flash Addresses These Challenges • Availability: • Flash Player is the most widely installed Internet video client, running on over 94% of all Internet-connected personal computers. • Creative control: • Designers can integrate Flash Video into a website by customizing the skin that frames the video. • Video in context: • Because Flash treats Flash Video as a media type, you can integrate video directly into a web page just as you would any image or sound you bring into Flash.

  7. How Flash Video Enhances Experience of Different Audiences • News: • Flash video to provide recent news and events • CNN • Entertainment: • Flash video to show the latest Asian music videos • Asian music videos • Research: • Online polls using video interactivity as part of the poll (click Take a Sample Poll) • Hertz Research • Tutorials (Flash video in Flash Player) • Adobe TV
