Flash Video - Quickly

Kristian and Hoss waste no time in their book, they get you and your film into Flash straight away - and show you how to control it.Other MX books waste too much time explaining Scripting techniques, this one gets you going right from the start. All the Actionscript is in thier, as an when you need it & is explained from a real users point of view - not from a coders!Fast & Friendly - just like they say.

Complete Flash Video Guide

Inspiration, code and compression - this book covers it all.In a simple step-following format the writer takes you from editing your clips to putting them up on the net, and gives you plenty of ideas of what you can do in Flash.If you can ignore the 'cool' skateboarding example video (or use your own!) then get this book!

The video bible

This book is a great resource for anyone getting into editing video for the Web. The authors did a great job of presenting the information so we designers can follow, understand and absorb it. And thanks to the authors for including info on Sorenson Squeeze, another necessary tool for putting video on the Web. I had been searching for a book like this for a long time.-LN

Video without tears - it's so easy!

I'd just about given up with Flash and video, the time and effort to import any vid content into Flash 5 killed any fun it might have been.With MX I could get the video in, but it wasn't until I read this book that I had any idea what to do with it.As well as scripting, the book has a whole bunch of tricks you can do to your video clips just within flash - masking, rotating, coloring!!I'm still working my way through the last chapters, but I've learned so much already & I've created my first video website!
