Click on the folder icon on the top-right corner, and select the .3gp file. Then you can watch it in the preview panel.


Step2. General settings
If you want to edit your video, you can do it under the tabs on the right. Here, you can trim and crop under "Edit" section; change the brightness and contrast under "Effect" section; add text or image watermark under "Watermark" section; capture a thumbnail under "Snapshot" section, and so on. The following picture is the effect of watermark.

This is the final step, here just press start and wait a few minutes you will get your files.


Step6. Embed the SWF to HTML page
Now how to upload the SWF to the website?
You can code the page as follows:
<!--url's used in the movie-->
<!--text used in the movie-->
<!-- saved from url=(0013)about:internet -->
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="320" height="270">
<param name="movie" value=" file_name.swf?videoFile=christmas_1.flv">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="True" />
<embed src=" file_name.swf?videoFile=christmas_1.flv" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="270" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="True">
</embed>
</object>
Well, have you noticed the christmas_1.flv in blue?
This can be modified to the absolute path of the .flv file. For example:
<param name="movie" value="file_name.swf?videoFile=http://www.moyea.com/flv/flvdownload_demo.flv"> (can support HTTP and RTMP)
The above only support IE, if you want it to support FireFox, please follow this:
Modify <embed src="file_name.swf?"...
to：
<embed src="file_name.swf?videoFile=http://www.moyea.com/flv/flvdownload_demo.flv"...
The width="320" height="270" in black indicates the width and the height of your video.
