Question

Hi All.  I have a client's website that has an intro that I made with Flash years ago.  it is just images and text and I controlled the speed.

 

I have the image files and the text I need to recreate it.  I have been reading that HTML5 has replaced Flash.  I am still thinking I need an app to actually create a video and then embed it into my html5 document.  

 

Can anyone steer me to the most recent app to create videos?  Thanks so much

    I think Animate CC might be way more than you need.

     

    Images and text sliders or slideshows can be done any number of ways with HTML, CSS & JavaScript code. 

     

    If you can't code, you could use a widget like this:

    Or you could use After Effects to create your slideshow and export it to MP4 video. 

    No special players needed.  All modern devices support the <video> tag.

    Flash is now called Animate.  You could try converting your file there first: https://helpx.adobe.com/animate/how-to/convert-flash-ads-to-html5.html .  If not the best thing to do would be to post a link to the page in question with this video as depending on the layout/function of the animation we may have other recommendations for you.
