Camtasia Studio 6 Tutorial:

Produce a Flash (MPEG-4 or SWF) Video

Learn how to produce a Flash (MPEG-4 or SWF) video for playback on multiple Web browsers.

The Flash output (MPEG-4 or SWF) creates a high quality, low file size video for playback on multiple Web browsers.

• The MPEG-4 AVC file format offers the best compression for both screen recordings and high motion videos.
• The SWF file format is ideal for producing short videos (approximately 15 minutes or less) that do not contain a great deal of motion, such as transitions, Zoom-n-Pan keyframes, or animation.

With the ExpressShow Flash template, you can customize the video’s table of contents, about box, start screen and end screen.

1. In the Task List, select Produce video as.
2. The Production Wizard appears. Select Custom production settings from the dropdown and click Next.
3. Select the MP4/SWF – Flash output option and click Next.
4. Select a Flash Template and Flash Template Theme. Click the Flash Options button to customize the Flash format, audio, table of contents, and controls. Click Next.
5. Select the Video Options. Click Next.
6. On the Produce Video screen, select the file save, post production, and upload options.
7. Click Finish.

The video begins rendering.
