Through development of tools like SWfx and Flix, Wildform Inc. provides users with the ability to view streaming media in any platform without downloading specific viewers.
Wildform provides the tools SWfx and Flix to designers that enable
end-users to view streaming video presentations without the necessity of
downloading specific platforms. SWfx is an easy-to-use Flash text
animation software. It works with installed True Type, ATM and Postscript fonts,
it includes over 300 effects and hundreds more are available. SWfX also has a
plug-in specification that enables users to easily create their own effects.
Flix
is a video software that encodes video, audio and image files into Flash, the
most popular media format on the Web. With Flix, users can edit, crop, encode
and post their video in a custom branded player in minutes. Flix is a very easy
and cost-effective way to create video for the web, CD-roms, presentations and
other applications. Flix encoded video works without a streaming server, plays
on all platforms and browsers, and streams through firewalls. And since almost
everyone already has the Flash player installed, using Flix means that viewers
won&singlequot;t have to download any players.
Creating Flix movies involves a series of steps where it encodes,
compresses, synchronizes, then adds metadata and e-commerce qualities to the
video and audio. The SWF output can be used alone or combined with ads, e-mail,
and HTML sites. You can insert links, resize video windows, create branded
players and more. To use Flix, select your input file, choose a preset, then
click "Encode." And that&singlequot;s it. Flix presets allow you to select a desired
bandwidth for Flix output, allowing you to optimize video for web streaming.
This makes it possible for users on any connection to view the encoded video.
The encoded video and audio is limited to 16000 frames, which is the maximum
allowable number of frames in the SWF
format.
