Bigger & Better Web Video At Will


The new Flash Player 8 is out for free download, and
it's incredible! At Will Productions has taken video
on the web to the next level, and we're very excited.
Now (if your computer is fast enough) you can watch
high quality video at 720 X 480 resolution, and 30
frames per second, and you don't have to wait for a
download. Files can be opened in your normal internet
browser (Mac or PC) and load almost instantly (less
than three seconds on a bad day.) No more wmv or
quick time movies that take forever to play (and
sometimes don't.)

So I was in the middle of wrapping up loose ends on a
web video I shot, and was so excited, I completely
switched gears.

After I fought a long battle to get my text effects to
play without jagged edges, we put the "new way" to the
test, and re-encoded a video business card for Vince
Perna, of Sandlapper Real Estate. The results were
immediately superior. Thank you Vince for your patience.

"Well that's a mighty fine story Uncle Joe, but show me."
Ok, take a look at this. Now I'm pumping out web video
that's so big & clean that they're almost mp4 quality. So
what's next? Now I'm looking for a hi-def client. If it looks
this good at 720 X 480, how's 1080 going to look? Very
exciting times.
