Production journal: switching to Flash for video clips
GUI
We have been converting all of our digital video files to Flash and I'm finalizing specs for presenting them on the Web. I've customized standard controls to match our style guide color palette, keeping it simple. I used the combined play/pause button, seek bar for navigating back and forth between frames, volume slider control and mute button.

Next step is implementation. This includes figuring out the best back-end file organization within the MOSS 2007 WCMS. Because of our customized template and the content authoring editor, we need to put the code into an html file and display that within an iframe in the WCMS-generated Web page.
Project scope
The current phase is just to get the video clips we already have online in WMV format converted to Flash. Planned enhancements include poster frames and possibly a full-screen display option.
In the next phase, we'll be integrating a new subsite for centralized presentation of all the multimedia content on the Web site. This will include a Flash photo gallery template for collections of still images, as well as a Flash video gallery template for clips.
