Camtasia Studio 6 Tutorial:

Produce a Flash (MPEG-4, FLV or SWF) Video

Learn how to produce a Flash (MPEG-4, FLV or SWF) video for playback on multiple Web browsers.

The Flash output (MPEG-4, FLV or SWF) creates a high quality, low file size video for playback on multiple Web browsers.

• The MPEG-4 AVC file format offers the best compression for both screen recordings and high motion videos.
• The FLV format should be used for Web playback when the Flash video player accepts the FLV format and does not accept MPEG-4 AVC.
• The SWF file format is ideal for producing short videos (approximately 15 minutes or less) that do not contain a great deal of motion, such as transitions, Zoom-n-Pan keyframes, or animation.

With the ExpressShow Flash template, you can customize the video’s table of contents, about box, start screen and end screen.

1. In the Task List, select Produce video as.
2. The Production Wizard appears. Select Custom production settings from the dropdown and click Next.
