Converting AVI files to FlashBack movies

BB FlashBack allows you to convert an AVI video file to a FlashBack format movie (.FBR file). You can open the converted file in the Player, to add text, sound, edit frames etc. as normal.

 

Note: the compression used in FlashBack movie files is optimised for recording normal Windows applications, not moving video. If you convert an AVI of a TV show, for example, the resulting FlashBack movie file will probably be much larger than the original AVI.

 

Note: this function is only tested and supported for AVI files encoded using these codecs: Full frames (uncompressed), Huffyuv, DivX 3 & 5, MS Video 1, Techsmith Screen Capture.  

 

To convert an AVI file to a FlashBack movie file:

  1. In Player, select Convert AVI file to FBR movie from the File menu.

  2. Set the AVI filename field to the AVI file that you want to edit in BB FlashBack.

  3. Set the FlashBack filename field to the name of the FlashBack file you want to create.

  4. Check the Open movie after conversion checkbox if you want to open the converted movie for editing straight after the conversion has completed.
