Adobe Flash CS3 Video Training Course

 

Adobe Flash CS3 Video Techniques
Duration: 2 days
Adobe Flash CS3

Course Synopsis: In this two day hands-on training class, students will learn need-to-know techniques to produce and deliver high-quality Flash Video over the internet using Flash CS3 Professional. The Flash Video codec will be explored in-depth to deliver higher quality video over lower bandwidth connections.

Who Should Attend:This course is for developers with intermediate experience in Adobe Flash CS3 Professional that would like to learn advanced tips, tricks, and techniques for publishing video content. Experience working with video production is also recommended.

Prerequisites: Because of the amount of material we cover in class, we do require students to be comfortable using a mouse, opening and saving files, and the general operations of computers. While we will make every reasonable effort to help, students with insufficient skills may be required to observe the class lessons or do their best to keep up without slowing down the rest of the class.

We also work with a network of rental facilities to offer our classes regularly across the United States and in Canada. Please double-check the location of your class with our office to make sure you get to the right location.
