In this video, Craig shows you how to encode videos into flv format using the stand-alone Flash 8 Video Encoder that ships with Flash. - The Quicktime Encoder (Running Time: 13:14)
In this video Thad covers the quicktime encoder. This encoder is available to you if you own quicktime pro and has a powerful list of features. If you use a mac or deal with .mov files then this encoder is a great tool. - Windows Media Encoder (Running Time: 7:05)
Here Thad covers the Windows Media Encoder. This encoder isn't useful for Flash video, but it is an extremely powerful and useful tool to encode video to Windows Media format. This is another great format, especially for HD movies. - RAD Video Tools Encoder (Running Time: 3:28)
This is a free program you can download to encode avi files as well as several other file types. Once again this program isn't useful for Flash video but it is useful for anyone wanting to convert to an avi. - Setting Guidelines for the Web (Running Time: 3:03)

- Part 4 - Adding Video to Your Website (Running Time - 4:44)
From linking directly to a video to embedding it into a Flash document, Craig discusses multiple methods of adding video to your html and Flash websites.- Using Dreamweaver (Running Time: 5:09)
In this video, Craig opens up Dreamweaver and walks you through the methods for embedding a Flash Video into your html page. Using this method, you can choose from several skins for your video player. - Importing Videos into a Flash File (Running Time: 10:57)
Importing videos into Flash is now easier than ever. In this video, Craig will show you how to import a video into a Flash file that you intend to be published as a full Flash website. These importing options give you even more skins to choose from. - Adding a New Video to Your Flash File (Running Time: 11:54)
In this video, Craig gets you started with your custom video player by showing you how to create a new Video Object and get it running. - Drawing Your Controls (Running Time - 22:47)
In this video, Craig draws all the controls for the custom video player from scratch. These controls will eventually allow the user to play and pause the video, scrub across the playhead, and adjust the volume. - Play/Pause (Running Time - 21:07)
Using the pause() method, Craig shows you how to construct and add code to the play/pause toggle button for your custom video player. - Stop Button (Running Time - 6:29)
The Stop button will use the pause() method as well, but when the user clicks this button, we want the video not only to pause, but also to reset to the beginning. In this video, Craig will show you the code you need in order to accomplish this. - Loader Bar (Running Time - 9:08)
If you've ever built a preloader before, then this topic shouldn't be too foreign to you, because that's exactly what's happening here. Craig will walk you through how to create a bar that shows the user how much of the video has been loaded. - Playhead (Running Time - 11:39)
The playhead allows the user to see how far into the video we are and how much is still left to play. In this video, Craig will show you how to add Actionscript to your playhead to make it move along the progress bar as the video plays. - Scrubbing the Playhead (Running Time - 23:21)
Not only do we want the playhead to show us the current position of the video, but we also want the user to be able to click the playhead and drag it back and forth, so they can instantly go to whatever part of the video they'd like. - Mute Button (Running Time - 15:34)
In this video, Craig shows you how to harness control of the sound in your video so that you can adjust it as you see fit. Once you've harnessed it, he'll show you how to make your mute button work. - Volume Slider (Running Time - 18:06)
In this video, Craig will demonstrate how to make a slider that the user can drag back and forth in order to adjust the volume of the video. - Make the Player Invisible (Running Time - 12:34)
If your custom video player is overlapping your video, it may be getting in the way, so in this video, Craig shows you how you can make the player invisible except for when you hover the mouse cursor over the video itself. - Playing Multiple Videos (Running Time - 20:25)
Changing videos is as simple as calling on the play() method again, and in this video, Craig will show you how to create a menu of videos that the user can select from.

Stop settling for $500 to $1000 web design projects and start making some real money. More importantly, start building a real business.

If you are tired of working long hours grinding away in front the computer just to make the same money as a Starbucks barista, then you will be very interested in the following information.
Each week I host a webinar where I show designers the exact skills you need to develop to take your business to the next level. For some, that means being able to go from part-time to full-time. How nice would it be to trade in your day job for a successful business where you call the shots. For others that is means getting your very first client.
I even show the pros how to grow their business. Just last week we had a guy that fit in that top 1% category. He is charging $30,000, on the low end, for a website. He was making more money than almost all of the other 22 attendees combined.
I opened his eyes to some new ideas, one of which has the potential to double his already successful business. That is the thing about the top 1% - they are always anxious to learn something new. He could have easily passed on the opportunity to attend the webinar based on his success, but there he was soaking up new ideas to grow his business.
