Add SWF videos to encode to HTML5

Select the films that you want to add to your webpage and drag it into the software. You can also do by clicking on File – Video or using a blue “+Video” button at the top of the software interface.

The software lets you encode numerous clips at once. You can add offline AVI films from a desktop or even online files in FLV or Adobe Flash SWF. Just pay attention that it should be an SWF video and not the animation.

In case you need several parts of a movie, you don't need to embed them to your site one by one. It will overload your online page. Simply create one complete film out of them by enabling the “Join on” option in the top right corner.

If you have a WordPress blog, use free Freemake Slider to insert various multimedia content as a compact gallery.
