So, you've seen Flash, you've learned a little about it, but your work is beginning to seem a little stale now. You need new ideas, new paths. Think about the best sites you've seen recently. What do they have in common? Very little, if they're any good. Except that they're probably designed in Flash and probably feature some Rich Media - sound and video - content.
What's the way forward on the web? What's going to make you stand out? The answer is simple: cutting-edge sound and video content. The application is less simple: sound and video elements have to fit through the limited bandwidth offered by the web, and Flash itself wasn't designed with all these uses in mind.
This book solves these problems. Divided into two comprehensive, separate sections on video and on sound, it uses the expertise of top professional web designers to show you how to design bandwidth friendly rich media Flash sites.
This includes comprehensive coverage of using Flash with the third-party technologies available for web sound (Cubase, Acid, Sound Forge) and web video (After Effects, Wildform FLIX, Flash Turbine, QuickTime, RealVideo, Premiere, Final Cut Pro).
This material is illustrated by fully worked case studies throughout, backed up with comprehensive video, audio and Flash files on the accompanying CD. Whether you're interested in preparing or recording sound for the web, filming video for the web, Flash, or web design in general, this is a bold book that you can't afford to miss.
