Do you like taking home videos yourself? Have you ever thought of publishing your videos in your personal home page to personalize your space, or share them with your friends in your blog and internet space? Do you have problems of uploading the video in a specific format?
This tutorial is to show you the way to make your videos acceptable to your home page, and gives you a path to make your page unique.
What format should we have?
For playing on websites, you have many choices, such as FLV, SWF, and HTML, or WMV, AVI (as YouTube accepts).
WMV and AVI files are much larger in size, so here we are using FLV, SWF, and HTML.
How to generate these files?
There are many converters which can convert home videos into those formats. Here we introduce you Flash Video MX Pro.
It can generate Flash movie (SWF) as the FLV player embedded in an HTML page for easier sharing and promotion.
How to convert and edit your video?
Install and launch Flash Video MX Pro.
Step1 Open Files
In this interface, you can follow the instruction as follows:
1. Import video. This program supports videos in any possible format, such as DVD, MPEG, AVI, MPG, WMV, RM, RMVB, MOV, ASF, MP4, 3GP, etc.
Click on to input videos.
2. Edit. You can either fill in the exact time in the time box and click, or drag the control bar to set the start time and end time. And things are similar with cropping the border of the video.
3. Effect. You can set brightness, contrast, and volume of the video. Deinterlace to avoid the artifact, degradation of DVD video. And flip, if the video is upside down. To quit all your settings here, you can click “reset.
4. Watermark. If you want to add image or text as watermark to your video, you can set in this section. Press, and select the right material. Then you can drag the bar to set the start time and end time for showing the watermark.
5. Snapshot. In this section, you can capture a picture as the first frame of the output SWF file.
6. In CuePoint section, you can add subtitle to the video.
Click “Next to the next section.
Step 2 Export
In this section, you can edit the output folder, output format, and video & audio settings.
If you would like to combine this video with one or two others, you can add them by “Video prelude and “Video curtain. You can also change the proportion of the video, but you’d better keep the original size for a better quality.
Step 3 Player settings.
Here you can add many personalized effects to your flash. Such as control bar, preloader and some special effects.
Press “Next to continue.
Step 4 Review the parameters.
This is the second part from the last. You can review some relative parameters here. If you find something wrong, you can press “Back, to reset.
Step 5 Convert
After the settings above, you can start to convert. The output folder will pop up as soon as the conversion is finished.
How to embed SWF file into an HTML page?
You can code the page like the following:
<object classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ codebase=”http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0″ width=”720″ height=”555″>
<param name=”movie” value=” mflvplayer.swf”>
<param name=”quality” value=”high”>
<param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”sameDomain” />
<param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”True” />
<embed src=”mflvplayer.swf” quality=”high” pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”720” height=”555” allowScriptAccess=”sameDomain” allowFullScreen=”True”>
</embed>
</object>
Well, have you noticed the mflvplayer.swf in blue? Replace it with the SWF file you generated. Here you can also type in the URL of the SWF, such as http://www.myhomepage.com/mflvplayer.swf
The width=”720” height=”555” in black indicates the width and the height of your video.
You can add or reset the param name values to configure the video.
At last, upload the generated SWF and FLV files to the same folder together with this page. And you can enjoy it on your webpage now!

We are all aware about the fact that the human mind is stimulated by visualizations. This is the reason why a lot of users flock to the sites that contain video clippings. These sites contain the video clippings of almost everything from demonstrations to movies, online help, and business meetings, personal or public videos. Such videos are slowly making way into our everyday lives. Websites that contain the videos are the highly visited spots on the internet today and these videos are surely going to increase in the years to come.
Incorporating such videos on a HTML site is pretty difficult and hence loads of Flash templates are being used to serve this purpose. In most of the cases, videos go give a better understanding of the subject rather than just reading about it. For an instance, it would be fairly simple to assemble the Ikea furniture by looking at the video rather than just struggling with the terribly written instructions. A majority of the people view these videos for entertainment purposes. However, a few of the masses are also looking for opportunities through these videos. If you are a beginner then you might gain a lot of help by watching these videos, on the other hand, if you are already a business owner then you might want to make a video of your company operations. Such a process will help you drive a lot of traffic to your website and also prove your authenticity. The great thing about making your own video is to promote something or to seek different opportunities for free.
The best thing about incorporating flash videos on a flash template is that you can view the presentations more precisely and in thorough detail. In addition, flash videos also set a higher learning curve. This is the reason why a lot of biggies in the corporate world use flash intros. Most of the gambling and gaming sites make use of flash videos and the schools these days also organise the flash tutorials to teach their students on various subjects. To conclude with, flash is the fondest choice of the new generation especially when it comes to teaching and entertainment along with money.
