Best PracticesFile Preparation and Bandwidth Concerns


Although it's possible to do some minor editing in Flash, such as trimming and cropping, you should do your sound and video editing in an external application. This way you can make sure that there is no fat in your project because trimming in Flash controls only what portion of the file is shown to the end user, not the actual file. By preparing your files ahead of time, you can keep bandwidth concerns in the project plans from the beginning.

Bandwidth concerns should be primary in every project plan. If you're publishing large sound or video files, be sure to offer end users the chance to choose a download option best suited to their connection speeds.

Finally, if your project has several sound files, set the compression for each sound individually. Some sounds might be compressed more tightly than others and every little optimization lightens the whole load.
