quicktime.mov to Flash

I downloaded the free trial ages ago, but that was before I really knew what I was doing and before I had a decent computer. So I’m not really in a position to give an opinion about it. But if you try it, let us know how it goes.

Or try Visual Hub. Its recently been updated, works smoothly and has a variety of output options.

For quick video output its fine, but if you need anything more sophisticated you might need to cough up cash for something like Sorensen Squeeze.

If you use Soundslides Pro, you can then output your slideshow as a single Quicktime video file using the Soundlsides Pro video output plugin.

Then you can either place that on the website, or convert the Quicktime file into a Flash file (using something like Visual Hub) and use that.

With SoundSlides, you have to upload the entire project in it’s folder for it to work properly, which I think is your problem. What SoundSlide does is create a self contained web page inside a folder (the name of the project when you start a new project in Soundslides), and if you try and upload the files by themselves, they’re really going to mess up your web page. If you create a show and call it “ninashow”, SoundSlides will create a folder with all the information in it. When you upload the folder to the site, you’ll end up with a web address that looks something like “www.nina.com/ninashow/index.html” (I don’t know what your web page is, so I made up “www.nina.com”). If you put it in the multimedia folder on the web page, it will look like “www.nina.com/multimedia/ninashow/index.html”, and so on.

Another trick for doing shows in Soundslides, is before you upload the show, duplicate the folder, and start getting rid of folders that you don’t need for the show. SoundSlides puts things in there that it needs to build the show, but you don’t need to play it back. There’s a folder called “RAW” that has the full size images in it, and if you’re like me and just use the custom show size setting, the only image folder you need is the one marked “custom”, the rest can be trashed as well. If you trash those folders on the original show folder, you won’t be able to open it back up with SoundSlides, so that’s why you should only trash the files on a duplicated folder. If you want to update the show, open the original show in SoundsSlides, then upload an entire new folder to your web page. I found that the average size of my SoundSlides shows went from 35MBs to 2MBs, so it’s definately worth it.

if i understood the above post correctly, i’m not sure that’s right…the ‘publish to the web’ folder in Soundslides is the only folder whose contents need to be uploaded on the website. that folder contains the index.html file, the audio file(s), the .swf and the .txt files and the custom folder that contains the images…that’s all what is needed for the slideshow to work on a website.

The PTW folder contains several files – the mechanics required to run the Soundslide – so if you need only one file to upload, you’ll need to export the Soundslide as a Quicktime file, then convert it into a .swf, a .flv, a .wmv or whatever single file you need, using the appropriate conversion app like Visual Hub or Flip 4 Mac.
