Need advice on ScreenFlow, Amazon S3, video player setup

5 replies
Thanks in advance for your help.

Ok, I've created some videos using ScreenFlow. I now want to host them on Amazon S3 (have an account) and load onto new site. Here's my questions:

1. What is the best format to produce the video?
2. Will I need a separate video player? If so, where can I get one to use?
3. Is there any basic instructions for placing the code in my page to play the video using the player?

Anything else you think might help?

Thanks,
Ed

    I host all my videos on Amazon S3, and I use FLV producer as my player. Once you run a video through FLV Producer it gives you the code to paste into your webpage. It's very easy.

    Ed, I produce my videos as MOVs and then convert them into FLV using the Flash video conversion tool (but there are others that will do the same thing).

    I upload the FLV onto the S3 server. Change access permissions and copy URL.
    I paste the link into the HTML playback page on my site. I use FlowPlayer for playback. Easy to configure (and free).

    Thankyou! I just signed up for an account today as well on Amazon S3. Looks like an aweseome way to share videos...

    I use MP4 files and use a plugin for wordpress.

    To see a sample go to http://theimclub.com/multimedia/ and look at all the different formats. My amazon is at the bottom of the page

    I like to use MP4 because of the smaller file size and higher quality.
