I'm considering posting my videos on my website in flash instead of wmv. I see I can export an flv file. But then what.

Are there some templates that Elements has to create a swf file? Or do I need to pull it into Flash and create something?

Anyone know of a good player template?

Thanks

I suspect that you may have found the following through Google, but in case you have not....

It would appear that Premiere Elements 3.0 only supports Flash export of .flv, not .swf.

Have you seen the following interesting chat?
“Trouble exporting to .flv – file won’t play”
http://www.any-flv-player.com/flv_player/how_do_i_add_an_flv_file_to_my_website.html

In another place, it looks like use of .flv in conjunction with Dreamweaver.

Also, some interesting comments….
“Is it possible to create Flash video w/ only PE3?”

Generally, speaking….

As for players, I came across the following which sounds great (I have no idea how great or not great), but it is free to try it. I suspect that going from free to more expensive players will give you more options.

Chuck Engels and group promote their web site http://www.muvipix.com as a good resource for flask video applications. You may want to check them out.

Did any of that help?
