Hello.  I am revamping an old site.  The client still wants her flash movie/video.  Without using flash at all, what program/technique can I use to make a video with just images and text?  Thanks for any help.

    Does your client still have access to the source files, or is the file you were given an FLV/SWF?  Depending on the format you may be able to use the Adobe programs to natively export your MP4 file.  However, if all you have left is the final file (ie: swf) you may need to look for a third party alternative as Adobe does not have a tool for something like an SWF --> MP4 conversion.

    HTML5 <video> tag with MP4 video file is all that's required.  MP4 files are natively supported by ALL modern web devices.

    <video controls>
      <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    </video>
    

     

    Use your favorite video editor (iMovie, Premier, After Effects...) to create video.  Use Adobe Media Encoder or Handbrake to transcode native video file to MP4 for use on the web.
