Flash Professional and Video

Why Flash Video?

It Just Works (No Additional Plug-Ins Required)

Flash Video is based on the technology behind the Flash Player—so it's ready to play in almost all of PCs worldwide. Imagine not having to worry about the platform. Or the format. Or whether your customers will be able to see your show—because they will.

A Better Viewing Experience

No more massive player installations. No lengthy registrations forms. And no ads attempting to upsell you to the "premium" player. With Flash Video, when the page loads, the video plays. It’s that simple. This is web video, as it should be.

Creative Control

There's nothing typical about Flash Video. You can use a traditional player window—or seamlessly blend the video into the background. The options are practically endless.

It Works the Way You Do

You can create Flash Video (FLV) files directly from leading NLEs and encoding applications using a simple extension, included with Flash Professional. So edit, polish, then publish.
