Artifact: Flash Movie, Video Gallery
This assignment served as my introduction to the process of converting raw movie formats such as .mov and .wmv into Flash videos. I learned why it is beneficial to use embedded flash videos on a Web page rather than raw movie files; embedded flash videos can be compressed saving space and allows the video to stream faster. It was crucial that I fully comprehend the details of this process because It became a routine task for me to convert raw moviwe files produced by the Broadcast Services’ office to flsah videos.
This assignment also allowed me to learn how to maintain the video gallery on the Texas Tech Today Web site. Specifically, I learned the HTML tags used to hide rows of information in source code and I also gained a better knowledge of how to manipulate DIV columns in HTML code, this is valuable for positioning and layout of content on a Web page.
