Flix 1.52 is the latest version of Wildform’s custom video encoder for Flash.
Flix 1.52是Wildform的Flash自定义视频编码器的最新版本。
From the company mainly recognized for the excellent SWfX text effects product, Wildform’s Flix is the first program designed to bring digital video into Flash presentations, converting popular movie formats such as .avi and .mov into a swf file.
Wildform的Flix是该公司最初以出色的SWfX文本效果产品而闻名的公司，它是第一个旨在将数字视频带入Flash演示文稿，将.avi和.mov等流行电影格式转换为swf文件的程序。
My first thoughts were ‘why would you want to use Flash for video?’
我最初的想法是“为什么要使用Flash录制视频？”
While Flash is fantastic at turning hi-speed mathematics into pictures, video has always been more about hi-speed ‘pixel shuffling,’ right? Wouldn’t specialist Web video tools like Quicktime and Real Media do a better job?
Flash在将高速数学转换为图片方面非常出色，而视频一直以来都是关于高速“像素混洗”的，对吧？ 像Quicktime和Real Media这样的专业网络视频工具会做得更好吗？
The key reason for the increasing popularity of Flix seems to center around compatibility and market penetration. The Flash plug-in is undoubtedly the most common on the web, and is supposedly present in over 95% of active browsers. It’s also one of the smallest, (about 150K compared with 3-4M for alternatives like Quicktime) and its implementation is very solid across a range of platforms. So, if your focus is bringing video to a web audience, Flash provides a robust vehicle with extremely high penetration.
Flix越来越受欢迎的主要原因似乎在于兼容性和市场渗透率。 毫无疑问，Flash插件是Web上最常见的插件，据说它在95％的活动浏览器中都存在。 它也是最小的之一(与诸如Quicktime之类的替代产品的3-4M相比，大约是150K)，并且在各种平台上的实现都非常可靠。 因此，如果您的重点是将视频带给网络观众，则Flash提供了一种具有极高渗透率的强大工具。
使用Flix 1.52 (Using Flix 1.52)
As a video encoder, Flix is a specialist, one-task tool, so there is certainly not a huge learning curve when you get started. However, this doesn’t mean there’s a lack of flexibility in the package.
作为视频编码器，Flix是一种专业的单任务工具，因此开始使用时当然不会有很大的学习难度。 但是，这并不意味着包装中缺乏灵活性。
The interface is divided into 4 main tabbed sections of File, SWF, Audio and Video. Each allows you to select, process and encode your video to SWF at a range of compression ratios, bitrates, sampling rates, and output options. The file can then be exported as a finished Flash movie (so there’s no need to own Flash itself), or used as an imported element in a larger Flash production.
该界面分为文件，SWF，音频和视频的4个主要选项卡式部分。 每个选项都允许您以一系列压缩率，比特率，采样率和输出选项来选择，处理视频并将其编码为SWF。 然后可以将文件导出为完成的Flash电影(因此无需自己拥有Flash)，也可以将其用作较大Flash产品中的导入元素。
Flix includes presets for the creation of video for users with connection speeds from 28k – 512k, and the quality at any file size is quite impressive. All the important raw audio and video formats are supported by Flix, including asf, .avi, .dv, .mov/.qt, .mpeg, .wmv, .mp3, .wav, and .wma, which gave the product much more versatility than I’d expected.
Flix包括用于为用户创建视频的预设，其连接速度为28k – 512k，任何文件大小的质量都令人印象深刻。 Flix支持所有重要的原始音频和视频格式，包括asf，.avi，.dv，.mov / .qt，.mpeg，.wmv，.mp3，.wav和.wma，这为产品提供了更多支持多功能性超出我的预期。
The Audio and Video tabs have separate modifiers for image size and quality, along with bitrate and sample rate. Even if you’re still using Flash 4, which doesn’t support the import of mp3s, Flix will import an .mp3 file, and then convert it to a .swf file for your use! It’s a very useful program, particularly if you need to include small amounts of video within your Flash movies.
音频和视频选项卡具有用于图像大小和质量以及比特率和采样率的单独修改器。 即使您仍在使用不支持mp3导入的Flash 4，Flix也会导入.mp3文件，然后将其转换为.swf文件供您使用！ 这是一个非常有用的程序，尤其是在您需要在Flash电影中包含少量视频的情况下。
Things do start to get a little more complex if you want to export large files into .swf. Lip-synched voice-overs present some problems, with some mouth movements becoming unsynched with the audio. However, none of the development houses seems to have been able to develop a comparable product that eliminates this issue, and Flix offers significant advantages that outweigh this limitation.
如果要将大文件导出到.swf，事情确实开始变得有些复杂。 嘴唇同步的画外音带来了一些问题，有些嘴巴的动作变得与音频不同步。 但是，似乎没有一家开发公司能够开发出可消除此问题的可比较产品，而Flix提供的重要优势超过了此限制。
The program is simple and easy to use. Just browse to the file you wish to convert and hit “encode.” I found that the encoder crashed occasionally when I tried to keep working with it in the background, and that the program was best left alone for 10-15 minutes to do its work. However, since most of us won’t find ourselves encoding 24 hours of video at a time, this isn’t likely to be a big issue. Set it up and grab a coffee.
该程序简单易用。 只需浏览到要转换的文件，然后单击“编码”即可。 我发现当我尝试在后台继续使用它时，编码器偶尔会崩溃，并且最好让该程序单独静置10-15分钟以完成其工作。 但是，由于我们大多数人不会一次编码24小时的视频，因此这可能不是一个大问题。 设置好并喝咖啡。
Flix exports to .swf format and gives you the ability to loop, unload, change the framerate, and protect the movie from import. You can also play the original file and the swf version right from the File panel.
Flix导出为.swf格式，使您能够循环，卸载，更改帧速率并保护影片免于导入。 您也可以直接从“文件”面板播放原始文件和swf版本。
In fact, to my knowledge there’s nothing on the market at the moment that is competing with Flix – which makes it a useful tool to have. You never know when you, or a client, will want to include video with their Flash pieces.
实际上，据我所知，目前市场上没有与Flix竞争的产品，这使其成为有用的工具。 您永远不会知道您或客户何时要在其Flash片段中包含视频。
With Flash banner ads becoming almost the norm at many large sites, it’ll be interesting to see if ‘Flix powered’ video Flash banner ads make an impact in the months ahead.
随着Flash标语广告几乎已成为许多大型网站的常态，有趣的是，看看“以Flix为动力”的视频Flash标语广告是否会在未来几个月内产生影响。
Flix的好处 (Benefits of Flix)
- Flix encodes .asf, .avi, .dv, .mov/.qt, .mpeg, .mp3, .wav, .wma, and .wmv, as well as numerous still image formats. Most competing products only encode a few of these formats at best. Flix编码.asf，.avi，.dv，.mov / .qt，.mpeg，.mp3，.wav，.wma和.wmv，以及多种静止图像格式。 大多数竞争产品最多只能编码其中几种格式。
- Flix includes presets for creating video for users with connection speeds from 28k – 512k (including presets for banner ads) – a feature that’s unique in the market at the moment. Flix包括用于为用户创建视频的预设，其连接速度在28k至512k之间(包括横幅广告的预设)–目前该功能在市场上是独一无二的。
- On balance Flix-encoded video provides high image quality at unusually lower file sizes. 总而言之，用Flix编码的视频可以以较小的文件大小提供高质量的图像。
- Flix provides mp3 audio, along with audio controls that allow developer to select sampling rate, bitrate and mono/stereo. Flix提供mp3音频以及允许开发人员选择采样率，比特率和单声道/立体声的音频控件。
- Flix allows users to resize the video however they like, and provides controls to set custom SWF dimensions as well. Flix允许用户根据自己的喜好调整视频大小，并提供控件以设置自定义SWF尺寸。
- Flix offers controls for both video framerate (distinct video images per second) and SWF framerate, giving greater flexibility and a smaller end file size than other similar products. Flix提供了针对视频帧速率(每秒不同的视频图像)和SWF帧速率的控件，与其他类似产品相比，具有更大的灵活性和更小的最终文件大小。
Flix also provides:

The latest version of Flix encodes videos of any length, up to the maximum number of frames allowed in the Flash player (16,000). A Mac version of Flix is expected to arrive on the market soon. And, while the older version of Flix had size limitations, users with this iteration of the program can download the new version for free.
最新版本的Flix可对任何长度的视频进行编码，最大长度为Flash播放器允许的最大帧数(16,000)。 Mac版的Flix有望很快上市。 而且，尽管旧版本的Flix具有大小限制，但使用此程序迭代的用户可以免费下载新版本。
为什么要从Flix 1.0升级？ (Why upgrade from Flix 1.0?)
- Flix 1.52’s encoding capabilities can now be used to create video and audio for users who connect to the Internet at any bitrate. Flix-encoded video and audio is limited only by the maximum number of frames allowed in the SWF format (16000). Flix 1.52的编码功能现在可以用于为以任何比特率连接到Internet的用户创建视频和音频。 Flix编码的视频和音频仅受SWF格式(16000)允许的最大帧数限制。
- Flix 1.52 has improved encoding performance, resulting in faster encoding times. Flix 1.52改进了编码性能，从而缩短了编码时间。
