Just what I was looking for.

I said last (2010) March that I would post on YouTube 100 readings from my book Your Life and Sex Island. Barely made it; last one 12-23-10. Now I am looking for other ways to tie in and promote. Your article fit right in.

Like most humans, I had no idea how to make a video. But I learned. They, the postings, got better as the year progressed – I think so anyway. I bought Adobe Premier Elements 8. Like most new programs it was very frustrating at first but I came to love it. If you are only going to do a few – five or ten – videos, have a pro edit them, otherwise learn to do it yourself. My opinion.

Again, thanks for the info in your post.

Wow, what a great idea. Thank you so very much, Travis, I will try that (I have demo builder for screen captures). Thanks again!!!

Anna-

Unfortunately I don’t have an easy answer for you. You might consider playing the flash file while recording it with your screen capture software. From there you can render using the options your software provides.

I’ve used this approach (using Camtasia) when I’ve run into this, and it worked fairly well.

Travis,
what do you suggest is the easiest (cheapest) way to convert .swf ‘videos’ (flash) to something that is accepted by youtube? I have played with some free online versions, but the quality seems to not be so good.
I was very easy (and almost free) to create a short flash video with the help of Wilform Flair (free trial) and istockphoto.com (flash scenes). Should I trust a professional to convert the .swf? Do you have any suggestions when it comes to youtube and flash animations?
