With its low bandwidth and tiny file sizes, it is often wrongly assumed that sound and video can never achieve a really high level of sophistication in Flash animations. With competitive motion graphics techniques rapidly evolving, there is a constantly growing demand for the next stage in sophisticated design – video and sound.

This book will do exactly what they said wasn't possible by illustrating how video and sound can be integrated into your Flash presentations, placing you at the extreme edge of creative web design. Illustrating the application of such tools as AfterEffects, QuickTime, SoundForge, Wildform, and RealPlayer with Flash, this book shows you how to test the boundaries of Flash and suggests ways to take sound and video beyond Flash and into the realms of Shockwave.

Who is this book for?

• All Flash designers who appreciate the need to use sound and video in order to stay ahead in the motion web graphics sector.
• Those who want to port their existing video and sound files into a web environment
• Readers of other friends of ED Flash Studio titles who want to take the next step towards becoming New Masters.
