hi everyone how are you?

This is my first post and first time. so please help me out here.

I have got a video edited on Adobe Premiere and i wanted to put that in flash
format so i can have it on my website. I need help with the conversion.

i was told by someone that if i use Flash CS3 i can import and then export it.

Flash CS3 is not available from Adobe until 1st July. I installed Flash 8 and
tried to import avi file but it said its not supported.

I can get real player format from adobe premire 7 pro too.

My questions is which one is better real player type or flash format? how do i
convert to flash?

And what is a flv? compare to swf? how do i go and get a movie that can be
seen in youtube?

I uploaded my avi file of 507mb to youtube but the quality is bad i cant see
the face of anyone.

I hope i can get some help here.

thank you so much for everyone's help.

thanks

Bottom line is that Flash Player penetration is very high. Every browser comes with the
player, maybe not the latest, one or two generations older, but most of the devices
and browser comes with a flash player by default. Unlike Real Player.

In regard to incompatibility:
There are many formats of AVI, with different sound compressions etc... Not all supported
by Flash. Try MOV, WMV, MPEG or perhaps try different AVI export options.

FLV is flash's native video file format. It can only run from within the SWF file, it can't
run alone on a website like MOV files can. You will need to place the FLV player within SWF
and place that SWF into html document.

Try different video formats or smaller size. Perhaps due to very large file size, they apply
very low quality while encoding into FLV so make it as reasonable for download as possible.

Please try with variety of AVI export options or best just try another format.
My best results converting videos to FLV so far are when exporting to DVD MPEG-2 and then
encoding that MPEG-2 using Flash Video Encoder. Quality and file size very satisfactory.
Do let us know if you have any problems.

If you have Adobe After Effects, it can export video files (once imported from
Premiere Pro) to .swf or a 'flash video' file. Hope this helps.

P.S. After Effects tends to make the flash file very large.
