Review: Flash Video MX for Mac, Pg. 2

Once-complicated operations like adding skins, creating video overlays, or even performing simple edits to your video can be accomplished quickly and easily within Moyea's suite all in one fell-swoop. No need for multiple or additional encodes.


This simple video editor may seem over the top but there are a few handy uses for it. For one, all of my master video clips come with leader at the front, something I would never want to encode. It's nice to not have to open up Final Cut just to fix something like that.

Depth of Options
The complete range and generous offering of options is definitely Moyea Flash MX's competative edge. Everything a videomaker could use in terms of delivering video to the web is included. One of the coolest features is the wide range of really cool and professional looking skins and players. One major plus to all of these skins is including the ever-desirable BIG play button in the middle ala YouTube. Of course you don't need to include the BIG play button, but it's a definite option.

For completely custom-ability, Moyea offers three excellent codecs for encoding Flash video files (Sorenson h263, H.264, and F4V). While the differences in all three are miniscule to the average viewer, this flexiblilty ensures that when using Moyea you'll get the highest quality encode at the lowest possible file size.


Not sure why you would want these, but there are several effects included. Some of which (like aged film) look quite good.

Performance
I was super impressed with the speed of Flash Video MX for Mac. It crushed my movies down extremely quickly at super high quality. On my Intel machine, it could compress, shrink and skin a five-minute video in about 30 seconds. The same task on my Power PC took about 2 minutes. Either way, this is fast. And the encodes looked great.


Tons and tons of skin/player options. Most of them look really really nice.
