AdobeFlash CS5

Application Overview:
Adobe Flash Video

Creating Flash video files with Adobe Flash allows designers to create immersive, rich experiences that merge video together with data, graphics, sound, and dynamic interactive control. The free Adobe Flash Player and it's predecessor Macromedia Flash Player, has become the most widely installed Internet video client, running on over 96% of all Internet-connected personal computers including all current Windows and Macintosh operating systems. The large installed base of Flash Player ensures that most visitors can view Adobe Flash video without downloading additional plug-ins, so you can reach more people with lower development, testing, and support costs.

Adobe Flash video
starts playing quickly providing the user with immersive and interactive experiences. Since Adobe Flash treats Flash video (FLV) as simply another media type, you can layer, script, and control video just like any other object in a Flash (SWF) file giving you full creative control. As well you can select custom "skins" for the window the video appears in from preset skins included in Adobe Flash or create your own.

Users: Creative, Design and Web Development Professionals as well as anyone who needs to use video content to enhance interactive websites, rich media ads, instructional or training media and engaging presentations.
