This software enables users to convert video files into Macromedia Flash SWF and FLV formats, add watermarks in different forms, edit videos by trimming, applying effects, and adding movie player control with secondary audio mixing. It supports batch processing and automatic FTP upload.
In addition to video conversion, Flash Video Studio offers a wide range of features that allow users to customize their videos. Users can add watermarks using text, static image, animated GIF, or transparent image (PNG), apply effects (emboss, sepia, motion blur, etc.), mix a secondary audio (WAV, MP3, WMA), trim video, adjust compression setting, frame rate, video size, video quality, etc. They can also add chapter list from various parts of the video, insert multi-lingual subtitles, and publish multiple video files in a player with playlist.
Flash Video Studio also supports Flash 8 with / without alpha, Quicktime Movie with AAC Encoding, and Flash 8 + Alpha with Chroma Keying Tools. The video encoded by this video format will have the alpha channel, and when this video is overlayed on top of another SWF, any objects or animations will show through in the background. Users can choose to publish a movie with or without a navigation control and customize the navigation control by turning on / off a specific button or changing its color settings to suit their style. They can even add event to synchronize animation with their video.
Flash Video Studio offers better video and sound bitrate control by showing the estimated bandwidth and file size in real-time, enabling users to adjust the quality settings easily. It also supports crop and rotation of videos and allows users to add fullscreen playback and save a JPEG thumbnail from any frame within the video. Flash Video Studio also supports batch processing and automatic FTP upload.
Lastly, Flash Video Studio has been tested and works on Windows Vista / 7, and users can now even deinterlace an interlaced video easily which improves the video quality. Interlace is a method to reduce video bandwidth by mixing 2 video frames into one image by laying the first image in the odd rows and second image in the even rows.
