Flash CS4 Media Encoder

CATEGORIES: Flash, Tutorials, Video Tutorials | Tom Green | September 23, 2008

With CS4, Adobe changed the name of the Flash Video Encoder to Adobe media Encoder because it is capable of encoding a lot of different types of files. In this tutorial, Tom Green goes thorugh the steps of encoding a Flash video using the new encoder, reviewing the options and showing how to cut and size a video clip into an image.
[If you want to download some free video clips to follow along with Tom, he recommends Prelinger. Also, if you want to create your own project and follow along with this tutorial, the lesson files are available for download here]

This video requires Adobe Flash Player.
