Hello, my name is Jessica Henley, and in these lessons, you will learn how to import a video how to work with video and audio settings. In this lesson, I will show you how to import a video. To get started, navigating at the top, clicking on File, New. From here, navigate to the character animation tab. Selecting on standard and keeping the width and the height the same and the frame rate 30 frames per second, action script 3.0 and hit Create. We're now in a new file. Time to import the video. Navigating at the top, go to File, go down to Import, Import Video. Now you're going to be presented with some options. You can load an external video with playback components. This will have the video and some components that you can select. You can embed an FLV and SWF and play in the timeline or you can embed an H.264 video in the timeline. This is important because if you want to see the frame by frame of the actual video and add animation on top of that video, I would actually go with this choice. Alternatively, you can also import an already deployed to the web server flash video streaming service or flash media server. So you would just put in the URL for the directions of where your file is located on the internet. For now, I'm going to click this option and hit Browse. Here I have my file, Importing Video for 022. Then I'm going to hit Open. Now the Next is activated. From here, you can keep the default settings, which is place instance on a stage for the video, expand the timeline so it'll automatically create those key frames. This video does not include audio so I'm going to uncheck that and you can also choose if you want to match the frame rate. Now I'm going to hit Next. Now for the settings, we have the video you are using is located, so it shows you where the file is located, and that it will be placed on the stage. After importing the video, you can view the video topics in Adobe Help. Now let me hit Finish. Here, the timeline has been expanded and I have a video here of the cupcake with the piping bag for the icing. This is a video here and you can see that the video is a .mp4. In the next lesson, I will show you how to work with this video. Thanks for watching.
