Flash Tutorial
Step Six: Importing the Video
Now that the video file size have been reduced importing the videos should be easy.
The Import Video box appears:
Note: If you cannot tell which is the small file open select the 'Details' view (in Windows) by clicking on the View Menu Icon:
You can then see the files sizes in the Size column:
You can then see you file in the Flash dialogue box.
Note: This audio track option is very important. It means that you are going to split the file into two, the video file and the audio file. You cannot upload Flash Movies to YouTube so you will need to convert the file back into an Mpeg or Avi file and there seems to be a bug with Flash (or some other obscure reason) that causes embedded videos to drop the sound track when exporting, leaving you with only visuals. This 'separation' method resolves this sound loss problem.
In this section you have the option to edit the clip.
Use the Playhead to preview a portion of the clip. ![]()
Use the two triangles to trim the clip. Important: Use the plus to add the clips. Otherwise the edit will not be imported to Flash!
Note: The quality of the movie is already medium to low so you will not gain anything by selecting a high quality settings. Higher settings will mean larger Flash files so keep things low, it will save time when Flash is importing.
Flash will then tell you that it is going to import:
Note: It may take sometime for Flash to import the video. This will depend on the speed of you computer, the length of the movie and the quality settings. Be prepared to wait!
You may find that the Movie is not located on the correct location on the stage. It maybe offset to one side instead of being located on correctly.
Note: The Movie should now be sitting correctly right on top of the stage and not off set to one side.
