Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Diana Johnson (Sorenson Media) One of the best books on video for new users: editing, compression, and Flash MX technologies. Full of great tips. Let's make movies! Interactive movies, totally integrated into your Flash interface! With Macromedia Flash MX you have the power to import digital video and sound, and manipulate them just like any other media object. That's a whole world of design possibilities. This book takes you through all you need to know about producing such wonderful sites. The very first section gives you a thorough grounding in how best to import your video and sound into Flash MX and the many different ways that you can manipulate it once it's in there. Then, in the second section, we go through a complete real-world case study from pre-production on the video to final output to the web and CD-ROM. Finally, we show you how can apply advanced ActionScript to video, and create a fully object-oriented sound and video playing Flash component that you'll be able to use time and time again. The inclusion of video support is the most noticeable and exciting feature in Flash MX - viewers who have the tiny Flash Player installed can now see video material that would otherwise require lengthy downloads and the clunky interfaces of other web video plug-ins. This book is the guide you need for this exciting new universe, offering inspiration and technical guidance in equal measure. As with all books from friends of ED our support is fast, friendly and free. Even if our dedicated support team are unable to solve your problem immediately, your queries will be passed onto the editors and authors who put the book together. All foED authors help with the support on their books, and will either directly mail readers with solutions or (more usually) send their response to an editor to pass on. This book assumes no knowledge beyond an ability to work with the Flash MX interface, and is not intended for those with substantial digital video experience. As such, this book does not assume that the reader has acess to expensive video-editing software. All you need for this book is acess to Flash MX, and some imagination. Book Info One of the best books on video for new users; editing, compression, and Flash MX technologies. Gives you a thorough grounding in how best to import your video and sound into Flash MX and the many different ways you can produce such wonderful sites. Softcover. About the Author Hoss Gifford is one of the founding directors of Flammable Jam, and curator of his personal site. He regularly sponges his way around the world, getting free flights in exchange for talking at new media seminars, including FlashForward and Milia. Hoss reckons we should all take stuff a bit less seriously, and be happy with making 'quite nice things that entertain people for a wee while', as can be seen from his other two sites. Kristian Besley was born in Wales, grew up in the same street as Catherine Zeta Jones, and read Media Arts following interests in film and design. In his little spare time, you'll most likely find him creating random stuff which will eventually appear online at graphci, or laughing at personalised number plates. One day he vows to reform seminal band Ken.

Kristian and Hoss waste no time in their book, they get you and your film into Flash straight away - and show you how to control it.
Other MX books waste too much time explaining Scripting techniques, this one gets you going right from the start. All the Actionscript is in thier, as an when you need it & is explained from a real users point of view - not from a coders!
Fast & Friendly - just like they say.

This book has plenty of errors. Page 80 says import to library streaming.fla (file provided on their website). FlashMX chokes.
I was hoping to pick up this book and write a crude web based non linear editor with FlashMX within a few hours, but this book is disjointed.
By the way, page 58, MPEG is Moving Pictures Expert Group.

Inspiration, code and compression - this book covers it all.
In a simple step-following format the writer takes you from editing your clips to putting them up on the net, and gives you plenty of ideas of what you can do in Flash.
If you can ignore the 'cool' skateboarding example video (or use your own!) then get this book!

This book is a great resource for anyone getting into editing video for the Web. The authors did a great job of presenting the information so we designers can follow, understand and absorb it. And thanks to the authors for including info on Sorenson Squeeze, another necessary tool for putting video on the Web. I had been searching for a book like this for a long time.

I'd just about given up with Flash and video, the time and effort to import any vid content into Flash 5 killed any fun it might have been.
With MX I could get the video in, but it wasn't until I read this book that I had any idea what to do with it.
As well as scripting, the book has a whole bunch of tricks you can do to your video clips just within flash - masking, rotating, coloring!!
I'm still working my way through the last chapters, but I've learned so much already & I've created my very first video website!
