Welcome to the presentation on How To Make Flash Videos Load Faster In eLearning? 1What is Adobe Flash?

Adobe Flash is a widely used tool for delivering high-impact and rich e-learning content. Courses can be highly customized with designs, animations and user interfaces.2

What are the three modes to deliver videos using Adobe Flash?

Before looking into the tips for publishing videos that play smoothly and seamlessly, lets first look at the three modes of delivering videos using Adobe Flash. 31) Embedded Video

Videos embedded in Flash are delivered as Shockwave Flash (.swf) files, which play directly on Flash Player. 42) Progressive Download and Playback

The second output method is External video, that is, the output is in the dot flv file format. This file when linked with the built-in-components has features like play, pause, stop and other video operations.53) Streaming Server

Flash Media Server (FMS), a streaming server, is another method in which videos can be delivered using Flash. This format is useful in delivering both live and on-demand videos with buffering support, interactive options, and built-in security features. 6

Tips for publishing videos that play online smoothly and seamlessly

Based on our understanding of the three ways to deliver videos using Adobe Flash, here are a few tips, from which you can benefit in publishing the videos online smoothly and seamlessly. 7Tip1. Dimension

To deliver videos for standard resolution which is 1024 x 768, the recommended dimension is a width of 640 pixels and height of 360 pixels.8Tip2. Format

The video should be converted into the dot flv format before integrating with the flash streaming component.9Tip 3. Duration & Size

The ideal size for the single video should be below 20 MB. If a video is longer, we can split it into smaller parts and load them individually. As a result videos play without any interruptions even at lower bandwidth areas.10Tip 4. Compression

The video file should be compressed at a high rate via video and audio codecs.11

Tip 5. Video Quality

To reduce the file size further we should slightly reduce quality of video for online viewing. If required download link to the higher quality video can be provided as an additional option.12ConclusionAdobe Flash is:
