General Software Discussion / Help with creating effective flash videos
« on: July 04, 2006, 09:02 AM »
I recently puchased BB Flashback, taking advantage of the great DC discount. I then created an swf of a software demo for my company website but it turned out to be a whopping 15 MEG.
Obviously this will take too much time for impatient viewers (like me) to wait for.
I was wondering if it is possible to set up a screecast to play a large file on a website without having the visitor's flash player download the file, or does the visitor always need a player on their machine that downloads the flash?
For example, I noticed that the nice new Locate and KeePass mini-reviews load very quickly on DC and appear to be playing "on" the DC website. How big are these files?
Thanks,
