Wide range of video file format supports

Flash Video Studio can convert almost every video file format.

Video effects with real time preview

Flash Video Studio uses a sophisticated non-linear video editing technology which allows you to apply some effects such as: emboss, motion blur, brightness/contrast, mosaic, swirl, hue, etc. to your video and previews it instantly without any rendering process. You can apply an effect on top of another effect. Using this feature is as easy as selecting an effect from a listbox and dragging the slider to adjust the effect parameters while you can watch the video preview played with the effects on.

Video range selection

Flash Video Studio allows you to select a range within a video timeline to publish. This function reduces the burden to trim the video.

Automatic/Manual video quality adjustment

Getting the highest quality video but maintaining the file size and the bandwidth to be small enough so that it is suitable for internet viewing experience. It is a very crucial aspect when publishing a Macromedia Flash Movie. With Flash Video Studio you can decide to set the video quality manually or simply choose from the list of common settings such as: Dial up 56.6k, ISDN, ADSL, etc.

Real time bandwidth and file size estimation

At any time, Flash Video Studio shows the estimated bandwidth and the file size which enables you to adjust the quality settings that suits with your target bandwidth and file size in an easy and efficient way without the need of repeatedly publishing that might take some time for a large video file.

Image (support animation) and text watermark

Flash Video Studio allows you to add an image and a text watermark on your video. You can decide when the watermark will be appeared, determine the position of the watermark and apply a fade in/out effect. The image watermark supports a transparency image such as PNG and GIF. You can use a GIF animation to make an animated watermark.

Publish to SWF or FLV

Flash Video Studio can publish the video into a SWF file (compressed/uncompressed). You can put the SWF file directly on the internet for any further processing with a software like Macromedia Flash. You can also publish the video into a FLV file. The FLV file can be used by a Macromedia Flash Communication server and also can be imported into a Macromedia Flash software to be used as part of a bigger project.

Variety of cool customizable movie navigation controls

You may choose to publish a movie with or without a navigation control. The navigation control is very similar to a Windows Media Player control which enables viewer to fast forward, rewind, drag movie slider, adjust volume, etc. The Flash Video Studio offers a list of cool controls. You can customize the navigation control by turning on/off the specific button to suit your style.

Mix a secondary soundtrack

Flash Video Studio allows you to add another soundtrack to mix it with the published video. This feature is very useful to add music to your video. The Flash Video Studio supports all popular audio format such as WAV, MP3, WMA.

Publish dimension and frame rate adjustment

Flash Video Studio allows you to change the published dimension and the frame rate (not necessarily to be the same as the original video file).

Built-in FTP upload tool

Flash Video Studio has a built-in FTP upload tool to upload the published movie file easily. You can set it to always upload the movie every time you publish.

Batch publish and upload

You can specify the list of video files, select the publish settings and publish the video files at once by a single hit of a button. This may include (you decide) applying watermark, compressing, video trimming, adjusting the dimension and the frame rate, plus uploading the result to your FTP site.

Real time Bandwidth Profiler graph with preview during publishing process

During a publishing process, the Flash Video Studio bandwidth profiler graph shows you an exact bandwidth for each second of your movie in a visual graph. You can instantly see if any part of your published movie is using a bandwidth that is greater than the one that you are targeting. The bandwidth profiler is also available for the batch publishing process.
