There are a relevant number of improvements to the video workflow in CS3.
There’s been an addition to easily add videos subtitles, and finally an easy way to save the cue points from an FLV, or cue points to load to apply to an FLV archive.
And finally, now you can export any kind of animation in MOV format.
In previous Flash versions, exporting to QuickTime was limited and you couldn’t export animations containing animated MovieClips or actionscript animations.
This was a problem for those who wanted to export files to play in a TV or DVD configuration, or if you wanted to use a video editor to modify your home videos.
Flash CS3 has improved the export to QuickTime and now you can export animations based on Actionscript code or animated on Timeline.
This gives the flexibility to create the preferred animation and then export as MOV. Now you can save the cue points from an FLV file or load them into a new FLV.
The new Flash Video Encoder Tab allows saving all cue points already present in an FLV.
Moreover, you can create an XML file of cue points and then import it into Flash Video Encoder before decoding the FLV.
You can use the FLVPlayback component to reproduce your FLV in an application and the news is the FLVPlaybackCaptioning component, which allows adding subtitles to the FLV being played by the FLVPlayback.
The FLVPlaybackCaptioning component also allows the user to enable/disable the subtitles.
You can add multiple videos with several instances of subtitles for each application.
Also, you can use an XML file to manage all subtitles of the FLV or control the same subtitles using the cue points as events.
