Tutorials and Demos
Flowplayer puts a lot of effort on "splash" setups. You can initialize video players without any Flash being loaded. This way your pages will work and load fast no matter how many video players you have installed on your page. Here you can see one great splash example:
If you want to know how this was done take a look at following demos and tutorials.
- Making professional splashes
- Even more professional splash by scripting
- Generating thumbnails from video files with FFMPEG
We also have new documentation about these subjects.
That's it for now. Stay tuned for 3.1. Happy encoding everyone!
