| Pre-Conference Seminars (W1) 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM |
This workshop covers basic audio and video production techniques,
especially as they apply to the creation of streaming media files. The
workshop begins with an explanation of the challenges and limitations
of streaming media, and discusses the tools used to create streaming
media and streaming media workflow. Following this foundation, audio
production and video production are both covered in detail. Attendees
will learn how to produce audio and video that will achieve the highest
quality streaming media files.

| Pre-Conference Seminars (W2) 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM |
Producing top-quality Web video involves multiple skills, including
setting the scene (choosing your backgrounds, clothing, and
positioning); lighting; shooting the video; scaling and preprocessing
the video to the target resolution; and finally, encoding. This
workshop illustrates each step with real-world examples and checklists
for encoding into Flash, Windows Media and QuickTime (iPod) formats. It
will outline procedures for beginners and for those experienced in
other media and describe how producing for the Web differs from
producing for broadcast, DVD, and other more traditional distribution
outlets.

This workshop covers streaming media workflow after content has been
produced. Beginning with encoding, the workshop demonstrates how
streaming media encoders work and discusses best practices such as bit
rates, screen resolution and which codecs to use. The segment on
authoring addresses metafiles and embedded streaming media players.
Cross-platform embedding issues will be discussed, as well as simple
scripting for controlling streaming media players. Finally,
administering streaming media servers will be covered, including setup
and day-to-day management. | Presenter: | Steve Mack, Author of Hands-On Guide to Webcasting, LUX Media |

What do I need to deliver a live broadcast with Flash? What tools are
available and how do I use them? What benefits does live Flash video
offer? How do I get started? If you are asking yourself some of these
questions then this hands-on workshop is for you. Stefan, a real-world
Flash Developer with extensive experience in Flash video, will take an
in-depth look at the necessary tools and services that you will need to
deliver a live broadcast in Flash and demonstrate how to push it out
over the Flash Platform, which includes Flash, Flex and Apollo/AIR.
Using code samples and pre-built applications Stefan will demonstrate
how live video applications can be enhanced through interactive
features that allow your audience to be part of the event. Case studies
and a Q&A session will round off this workshop.
