Best use of full screen video in flash player

Filed under: Adobe, Flash — Wrote by Campbell on Tuesday, September 4th, 2007 @ 10:26 pm

We have all seen the examples of just video in full screen using the flash player, and isn't it pretty!

After reading a story over on Techcrunch I saw a button on a video player, clicked it and thought…. this is cool.

Check out this beatboxing video tutorial over at http://www.5min.com and click the smart player Button. The player steps up into full screen mode, but not with the video full screen (but there is another button to do so). There are tools there that are simple to understand and use which relate to the sites purpose, of people learning from videos. From zooming on an area, frame stepping and even slow motion.

The only thing that really lets this player down is that the icons look like they were grabbed from Windows 95 then enlarged.

    Nice example
    … I was going to have a play around with the full-screen stuff myself but I kind of got side tracked with the beatboxing ;-]
