Thrid way

Step1

Check the Adobe website for the latest version of the Flash player and download it to your computer. If you already have the Flash player, the installer will notify you.

Step2

If you have the Adobe Flash authoring program, you will need to save the FLV file as a SWF file. If you don’t have Adobe Flash, you will need to use a conversion software program. The file converters are much less expensive than the Adobe Flash authoring program. Refer to the link listed in the Resources section below for a site with comparisons of various converter programs. Download and install the program of your choice as directed. Then convert the FLV file to a SWF file. Remember where you saved the SWF file.

Step3

Open Powerpoint and save it to a new document. Take note of the location where you saved the file. Create a new slide to place your video on.

Step4

Select “View” from the menu bar at top, then “Toolbars” from the drop-down and then “Visual Basic” (A small pop-up dialog box will appear).

Step5

Click on the icon for “Control Toolbox”. It looks like a hammer and a wrench. Another small pop-up toolbar will appear.

Step6

Click on the icon for “More Controls” ( it looks like a hammer and a wrench with three dots next to it). A drop-down list will appear with a long alphabetical listing of formats. Scroll down the list until you see “Shockwave Flash Object”.

Step7

Draw a rectangular box on your slide with your cursor, which has now changed to a cross-hair. The size can be adjusted later.

Step8

Right-click on the rectangular box you just made and select “Properties”.

Step9

Change the following properties in the Alphabetical tab as follows:Embed Movie: Change to “True”Loop: Change to False (this will run your movie once within the slide show).Movie: Type in the path to your SWF file in the folder or location where you saved it.

Step10

Check your movie by running the slide show preview in Powerpoint. If the above steps were followed, your video clip or animation should play within the Powerpoint as the slide is displayed in the slideshow.

The Three Essentials of Search Engine Optimization SEO

admin    SEO Video     Engine, Essentials, Optimization, Search, Three

There are of course many factors that go into your online success; everything from lead generation to having the proper advertising system in place. However there is one element which you will find indispensable to your online success and that is web site search engine optimization commonly referred to as SEO.
SEO refers to the process of constructing your website in such a way that it is looked at favorably by search engines like MSN, The Google and Yahoo. This in turn leads to higher rankings, more internet traffic and free advertising for your website. What makes seo optimization so important is the fact that over 80% of your site traffic will arrive via the search engines. For this reason alone, having a good web site seo strategy in place is essential.
There are a variety of factors you need to consider when putting together your strategy but these three standout in particular:
1. Keyword Prominence
Where do your keyword search terms show up first? Usually the closer your keywords appear to the top of the page, the more prominence search engines give them. This is because they crawl the html code of your site before the content. Putting keyword search terms into places such as your title can give you a distinct advantage over other webmasters who only use keywords in their content. The trick is not to overdo it by stuffing too many keywords (or worst keyword search terms that have no relation to your web content) into the head tags of your html code.
2. Inbound Link
Back in the day, it was vital to get reciprocal links to your website. Search engines placed a lot of importance on who you were linking to and vice versa. Not anymore. Instead of link exchange, search engines are placing more value on inbound links commonly referred to as backlinks. In essence, search engines view this as a kind of referral system. One site is recommending another without having to reciprocate.
To make backlinks really work, you must get them from sites which already rank well in the search engines. All of this does not mean reciprocal links are of no value. A quality link exchange is still looked upon favorably by the search engines and you should definitely use this technique for your website. But concentrate on getting those inbound links first and foremost.
3. Web Site Content
While search engines do value your keyword prominence and amount of backlinks to your site it still comes down to what’s on your webpage. The internet is at the dawning of a video revolution but that only means more information will be required. Content is king and will be for a long time.
Write as many unique and quality articles as possible and place them on your website. If you want to, you can outsource this process or just visit the article directories and find content related to your niche and use it on your website. Be sure to read the term and conditions in regards to using other people’s articles. Grow your web content slowly, so it looks more natural to the search engines. Update the information frequently.
The importance of web site search engine optimization cannot be overstated. A site that is ranked favorably can bring in tons of free internet traffic. Evaluate your keyword prominence; focus on getting good inbound links while concentrating on providing useful web site content and the search engines will start bringing more and more internet traffic to your website.

Seo – Three Design Elements That Sabotage Seo

admin    SEO Flash     Design, Elements, Sabotage, Three

When designing your website there are three major design elements that you should stay away from in order as they can sabotage even your best efforts at search engine optimization. These three elements to avoid are flash animation, javascript and HTML coding mistakes.
First of all, search engines perceive sites with flash as being “empty spaces.” Rather than checking out the content, most search engines just discard the URL. God knows how many people’s sites have been rejected because a spider inside a search engine denoted their flash as blank space!
If you are using Javascript or CSS in your pages, you probably stuck it at the top of your pages. Remember that search engines tend to rate what they find at the top of pages a bit higher so avoid anything that a search engine considers to be fluff — and that would be pages and pages of Java enabled script. A better way to do things is put the Javascript (or CSS) in a separate file, and include it into your pages with a single tag. To avoid this kind of headache however, I advise that you avoid using java script at all. The worst thing that can happen is that a search engine spider will read the javascript as a malfunctioning page. It happens all the time!
It is also crucial to make sure your HTML is correct. Just because your page is displaying nicely does NOT mean that the code itself doesn’t contain errors. Search engines read HTML not what shows up on you pretty pages. The more perfect your HTML code is, the more likely a search engine is to rank it higher. This is why it might be a practical part of an SEO strategy to hire an expert to clean up your code if it is all messed up.

Three ways to convert popular video to Flash video (FLV)

admin    Adobe Flash Player     Convert, Flash, Popular, Three, Video, Ways

Which kind of website is the hottest nowadays in Web 2.0? Of course it is the video sharing website, such as Youtube, Google Video, Yahoo! video…The content of this kind of websites is of all kinds of things, but the same thing of these websites is that they all use Flash as their video media format, or rather flash video (FLV).

FLV is a brand new streaming video format. It makes use of the widely used platform on the Internet – Adobe Flash Player, and incorporate video into the Flash animation. FLV enables your videos can be viewable to 98% of all Internet users and bring great convenience to the broadcasting of Internet video.

To add FLV to web pages, you need to convert your video to FLV, and make a flash video player on your website to control the playback of the FLV files. Now I introduce three ways to convert video to FLV.

1. Moyea Video4Web Converter
This Video4Web Converter is a Freeware and professional tool to convert all popular video to flv, video to mov, mp4, 3gp and 3g2. It can change the values of the video for brightness, contrast, and volume. You may also trim and crop the video to fit your particular requirement.

2. Macromedia Flash 8 Video Encoder
Starting with Macromedia Flash MX 2004, it had already supported FLV decoding, but I suggest you use the latest version Flash 8. This version has an independent FLV conversion tool: Flash 8 Video Encoder. This encoder also provides a lot of video settings to meet your need.

3. Online converter
This method is famous to a lot of Internet users. You can convert your videos from your computer hard disk, or from online videos using different protocols (http, ftp, rtmp…) to FLV with the online converter.
But this method is not recommended to convert video, especially for some important video files. For there are several reasons:
Reason 1: It will take more time to convert videos compared with some desktop converters.
Reason 2: It requires that you are in a good internet connection. If the connection speed is slow, the convertion will be very slow or just stop.
Reason 3: The quality of the resulting video is not ensured, various problem is possible, such as audio and video is not synchronized, or only the audio is converted by not does the video…
