RE: [flexcoders] Re: How do they do that (Flex video)
I have to second that this seems like a niche usage. Most SWFs provide an interactive experience through the event model, and are not just timeline animations designed to be played from start to finish with a set duration. Such a tool would have to ignore the user interactions, and on something like a flex app with a login (or any swf where a user has to interact with the movie by clicking a button or other UI element to continue), you would simply be left with an FLV of unknown length playing a shot of the login form. Best to leave these specialized tools up to the individual developer or community at large to develop if the need arises. -Ryan From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Andrews Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2008 1:22 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: How do they do that (Flex video) comfederation, You have a niche usage of the tools and while we would all love Adobe to provide a solution to your problem, few would regard it as essential.

As a matter of fact, good part of what Adobe does so well is already done in pieces elsewhere. The reason why Adobe does it well is in great part due to nothing more than better integration and a resulting better experience. If Adobe wrote such a SWF to FLV converter then they could offer it to YouTube and other sites so that they could accept uploading of SWF files, on which they would then do PERFECT conversion into FLV or some other format.

Creating videos from staff is not what flex was build for... If you want to upload videos in youtube you have to go the hard way and use a server with video encoding software and lots of code (ffmpeg or something similar is a start) you can create flex presentations that look like videos, but if you upload them to youtube, (by first converting them to avi or another video format) you : 1) Will either get a huge file size or 2) crap text/logos quality Good luck :-) On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 5:53 PM, Tom Chiverton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thursday 13 Nov 2008, Paul Andrews wrote: mxmlc.

[flexcoders] Re: How do they do that (Flex video) ?
If I were to do what you want, I would use a combination of ImageMagick (http://www.imagemagick.org) and FFMPEG (http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/) server side. ImageMagick can take a set of images and create a slideshow. FFMPEG can then be used to add audio. A quick tutorial is available at http://www.linux.com/articles/60722 Of course, I use PHP - There is a PHP wrapper for ImageMagick (http://us.php.net/manual/en/book.imagick.php) and one for FFMPEG (http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net/). You would need to find wrappers for your own server side language. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, comfederation [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Folks, I am able to create a slideshow which uses either external or internally embeded images and music. This is the easy part. Now I need to create a stand alone movie. That is, I need to capture the slideshow that the user sees and then I need to encode it in some format (mp2/4 ?) so that it can be uploaded to YouTube. This is the hard part. So, how is this done within Premiere Express (the ReMixer that is on Photobucket, MTV and used to be on YouTube) ? To start with, I am looking for a good explanation of what is involved. This is the fun learning part. ;) Thanks a take care.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How do they do that (Flex video)
Sorry, commenting on this email again. Have you looked at animoto? They're being heavily praised for what it sounds like you want to do. They have an immense engine which takes the users input and renders a movie. I believe they are running Ruby on the server to make it all happen.
