Last Week’s show was about putting FLV files on your wordpress site. Today we go back one step and answer the question, “How do you make an FLV file?”
Currently I use Camtasia Studio. It’s a great program if you’re looking to get into video without spending thousands of dollars. It does screen captures, picture in picture, live video editing, and more. It’s $300.
If you don’t have that kind of budget, you might check out a piece of software that I’ve used on the past call FLV producer. It’s $97 and it makes putting video on your website a piece of cake. This is from the people who make the FLV plugin, so you could spend half of what you would for Camtasia and be able to have FLV files on your websites in minutes (granted Camtasia studio has many other output options than FLV).
While flash may have a “death sentence” due to Apple’s moves, one can’t argue that its still on about 90% of all computers and for now is a great way to put video on your website until the HTML 5 equivalent is accepted an implemented across the Internet.
