Editing and adding Flash videos
== Editing and adding Flash videos ==
While Google and YouTube offers an easy conversion process from any original video format to FLV (streaming Flash format video) by simply uploading your the videos on their portals and thereafter embedding them on a any page, this these Google or YouTube videos will include automatically display links to non-relevant other usually irellevant videos at the end of video streams and the stream, often include including advertising as syndicated by Google. To avoid thisthe irellavant content from being appended to your video content, you can upload your Flash video directly on MadaCamp without advertising or irellevant links being appended onto your video. However, if your video has been shot with a digital camera, it is most likely not in the necessary Flash format to begin with, but in Mpeg, AVI, Quicktime or some other format. As such, it is first necessary to convert the video info to FLV (Flash) format. This can be done using a free video editor, such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avidemux Avidemux]instead.

Optionally add filters. Give the new file an .flv extension and ''Save Video''.

Thereafter upload the resulting newly created FLV file and add it onto a page, like thisas follows:
<nowiki>[[File:Video.flv]]</nowiki>
The size and aspect ratio can also be tweaked like a normal on-page image, by defining the pixel display values , as follows:
<nowiki>[[File:Video.flv|300x375px]]</nowiki>
