hi, while I was developing today a media stream server, I found an amazing video about that fitting player (the video itself is even playing right now in this player). The music is not so my style, but this guys did creative playing with pictures I really like: Enjoy!
by the way, the player I was working on: http://www.jeroenwijering.com
With this you can embed, FLV, WMV, even Youtube with Flash and-or Silverlight
If u would like to make a small Videoclip and use the technology of blue boxing or also called chroma effect (you know that stuff when superman flies in the clouds or behind the new speaker in television the pictures come blended in). You can use Movie Maker in Windows and some help from the guys of http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/ There are several tutorials how to do ith windows movie maker 2.0 (thats in xp also free to download in the net) and as I did with Movie Maker 6.0 in Vista. For the last, you download the ShaderFx from http://www.rehanfx.org/shader.htm and just install it (its shareware).
Than you import your video that you did infront of a blue wall or carpet as i did and import a background picture or movie. Last you choose from the Transition Effects one of the chroma effects and play about with it. Voila, finish is your homemade bluebox effect. Have fun.
Here are just some demos i did:
1. my first experiment (dont miss the funny scenes at the end)
2. this I did for my friends at: http://www.dahab-realestate.net
3. its paul 11 years old, telling about his life.
I had before a great software from sytexis.com to stream videos. Since I had my laptop acer 6920g and i did not found a way to record live to youtube.com I searched for a tool to record to my harddisk and found finaly that fine piece of free software. Yes, its completly freeware and several additional software also, or just add a small advertising.
