Steps |
|
|
|
|
| 1. |
Edit your movie in iMovie |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
|
|
| 2. |
In iMovie, go to File > Export |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
|
|
| 3. |
Highlight the Quicktime tab on the top (if it's not already highlighted)
select Expert Settings from the drop-down menu
then click Share |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
|
|
| 4. |
Under Export, make sure it says Movie to Macromedia Flash Video (FLV)
Then click Options
(If you don't have the Macromedia Flash video in the drop down, you need to install it first) |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
|
|
| 5. |
In the Flash Video Encoding Settings page, click Advanced Settings
Make sure your screen looks like this:
Encode video clicked
- On2 VP6 video codec
- 24 Frame rate
- Key frame rate automatic
-Quality=High
-Resize video = whatever, but 360x240 is good)
- your audo=64-124 (can't believe they don't use AAC...)
|
|
| |
 |
|
| |
|
|
| 5a. |
Optional: You can go to Crop and Trim tab and play with the borders to get a "widescreen/HD" effect, but this isn't really necessary. |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
|
|
| 6. |
After your movie exports, you will have successfully exported a FLV file encoded with the cool On2 VN6 encoder. You now have to get it on the web. Open Dreamweaver and create a new basic HTML page. |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
|
|
| 7. |
Go to Insert > Media > Flash Video |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
|
|
| 8. |
You'll see this screen. Click on Browse and find your recently exported FLV file. |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
|
|
| 9. |
When you're browsing, you won't see the other files, you'll only see the .FLV file. (I was lazy and didn't remove them first for this tutorial.) Click your .FLV and select Choose. |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
|
|
| 10. |
Now your .FLV is there, select Clear Skin 3 (min width: 260), and click Detect Size, and then click OK |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
|
|
| 11. |
Now your .FLV is inserted in your HTML file. Step 10 also created a few other files that you'll need to upload to your server (the skin, and some other jive.) |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
|
|
| 12. |
Now you have to upload this to your server. Make sure you are uploading files that look like this:
Clear_Skin_3.swf, yourmovie.flv, yourhtml.html, and FLVPlayer_Proressive.swf
Once it's uploaded, just tell people to go to www.site.com/yourhtml.html and the movie will be there. |
