Preparing Source Video for Flash Video: Part 2 - Preventing Quality Loss
By: Robert Reinhardt on Thursday, August 30, 2007
Reader Level: 
In this Flash Video series, you learn how to process source video files before you encode the content to the Flash Video (FLV) format or the AVC/H.264 format*. Source video can be saved in a wide range of formats across Windows and Macintosh platforms, and each format can use specific audio and video codecs. In this tutorial, you learn how to retain the original quality of source footage after you've edited or applied effects to the footage in a tool such as Adobe After Effects.
*On August 23, 2007, Adobe announced its intention to support the popular industry standard AVC/H.264 codec in Flash Player 9 update 3. Currently, Flash Player 9 update 3 is available as a beta 2 version on Adobe Labs.
NOTE: All of the tutorials in this series require Apple QuickTime Player. I recommend purchasing Apple QuickTime Player Pro directly from Apple. The Pro version enables you to export audio and video files. This series augments the material discussed in my book, Adobe Flash CS3 Professional Video Studio Techniques (Adobe Press).
