Sharing movies with other users

Once you have a movie you are happy with, you may want other PC users to be able to view it.

If these users have BB FlashBack, BB FlashBack Express or BB TestAssistant installed, they will be able to play the FBR file you created by opening it in their Player. This is the simplest option.

If they do not have a FlashBack application installed and will not be able to install it, you need to export the movie into another file format that they will be able to view.

 

There are five file formats that can be exported from BB FlashBack:

 

Standalone EXE

BB FlashBack creates an executable file that can be run to view the movie. PCs running Windows 98 or newer will be able to run the EXE file generated.

For more help, see Exporting to Standalone EXE.

 

Flash format

Flash files are commonly used on web pages to show short movies or animations. Any user running Internet Explorer 4.0 or above or Netscape Navigator 6.0 and above on either a PC or Macintosh computer should be able to view a movie exported to Flash format.

Windows Media Video (WMV) format

To export to WMV format, you need Windows Media Player 9 (or newer) installed on your PC.

Microsoft Windows users that have version 8 (or newer) of Windows Media Player installed should be able to run the WMV files exported by BB FlashBack.

For more help, see Exporting to Windows Media Video.

 

 

AVI format

AVI files are often used to show movies or animations. However, files exported to AVI format will normally be larger than the same movie exported to Flash or EXE format.

Exporting to AVI format can be more complicated than exporting to Flash, EXE or WMV because you will need to make a choice on which codec to use – the third-party software that creates and plays back the AVI file.

MS Powerpoint format

To export to Powerpoint format you need Office 2000 (or newer), including Powerpoint to be installed on your PC.

BB FlashBack can create a Powerpoint (PPT) file containing your movie.
