My First Flash Video - 02-09-2010, 08:06 PM

OK so I'm not the most technologically up to date amatuer web designer but I just made my first Flash movie.

Armstrong Detailing - The Finest Mobile Auto Detailing in Sarasota - Bradenton - Venice

***edit. Changed the above link to the actual home page.***

This isn't the live home page. Just a sample of what I want to do. I think it's a nice intro and gets the customer excited about my service. The original video from my camera made the car look super wet. This video is compressed so it takes away quite a bit from how good the car actually looks. The finished product should look much better. I want to create it with something better than Windows Movie Maker.

I've been using Final Cut Studio on the Mac at church and it blows Windows Movie Maker away. Anybody know of a good movie maker for windows?

I'm relived that the title wasn't what I was thinking

Looks good Troy brings the cars to life.

I saw some guy on Craigslist selling his car with a vid instead of just pics.


Nice Work!

Nice Troy. Just curious, when you use music on your website, do you have to pay any ASCAP related fees?

Roxio. I've not used the product before, so I don't know if it will do what you want.

Probably. I haven't checked into obtaining rights to playing that music. If they want to come after me, so be it.

Re: My First Flash - 02-09-2010, 10:03 PM

Well I ended up switching it to a youtube video. The quality is better and it loads faster.

This is the live home page now -

Armstrong Detailing - The Finest Mobile Auto Detailing in Sarasota - Bradenton - Venice

(Might need to refresh to view the new page)

The pics enlarge behind the youtube video. I can't fix that so I will have to live with it unless one of you guys know how to fix it.

Still looks good.

You know though now that I looked at it again, I had a thought.

It might improve the overall look if you would have wet down the entire driveway area for consistency plus the darkened brick might also help to accentuate that particular paint color.

This was really just meant to be a practice video. It turned out well enough that I decided to use it. I have a nice paint correction detail coming up soon for a friend. I plan to take a ton of pics and video on that one. It's a volvo not a ferrari but it still should be good.

On your tags in your youtube account you should include the city,s you service as well auto detailing. It will show up on google. Mabe on the first page depending on the amount of other detailers you are competing with.

Thank you for that. I had the tags on there but I redid the video so many times I must have forgot to add them the last time.
